What is a Security Tether?

A security tether keeps things tied together, or to something else. It’s the rope that ties a chair to its pole, or the wires that tether astronauts in their space station for jaunts outside. A tether is also an invisible bond or link—the love between a mother and her child, for example. Or the Internet, which connects you to your pen pal in Germany.

You protect your endpoints at the compute and cyber layer, but what about the physical? Unencrypted data, theft, exposure to hostile networks or locations – these are the risks that threaten every mobile device. Until now, IT has had blind spots in their security programs. Tether closes these gaps with a secure, affordable, and easy-to-deploy service that makes it simple to track, monitor, and control devices in the physical world.

Each Flexguard security tether online for sale includes three key components: the cable, the end, and the pull box. The cable is a flexible plastic coated steel wire that comes in either coiled or straight versions, up to 20 ft. A wide selection of ends allow users to customize their tethers, making them ideal for virtually any application. The end of the cable is attached to the item being secured using a choice of adhesives, including rubber based self-mounting pads and set screw collars.
