Why each option
Cable locks physically anchor laptops to furniture preventing removal, while security cameras deter theft and provide an audit trail - together they address both prevention and detection.
RFID chips can track a laptop's location after removal but do not physically prevent the laptop from being taken out of the secured area.
A mantrap controls who enters or exits the secure area but does not prevent an authorized insider from carrying a laptop out.
Fingerprint scanners authenticate users to the device but have no effect on preventing the physical removal of the hardware itself.
A cable lock is a direct physical control that tethers the laptop to a fixed object, making it impossible to remove the device without defeating the lock.
Security cameras act as both a deterrent - reducing the likelihood of theft - and a detective control that records evidence if a laptop is taken, reinforcing physical security.
A keypad on the door restricts entry to the area but cannot stop someone already inside from walking out with a laptop.
