In turn you should have security on your computers so that people cannot access sensitive and important information.

In sensitive areas or research labs, there may be more and advanced security measures in place, including biometric sensing equipment. These may use fingerprint or eye access. In not very secure areas, you may still have to swipe your employee cards to get in.

Serious equipment
