Kensington's easy-to-use Privacy Screens
enable businesses to reduce the potential loss of confidential and
sensitive data through visual hacking from laptops and computer
screens. Kensington Privacy Screens limit viewing angles, reduce
harmful blue light by up to 22%, ease eye strain, and diminish
glare while helping to protect the screen from scratches, dust and
smudges. MagPro Elite Magnetic Privacy Screens for MacBook, MacBook
Pro, and MacBook Air conveniently and easily attach to, and detach
from, the MacBook frame without the use of adhesives. Even with the
privacy screen attached, the MacBook can close completely to enter
sleep mode. (Photo: Business Wire)
Hybrid and remote working policies have expanded the workplace
from single, easy-to-secure office environments, to virtually any
location, such as homes, coffee shops, and public transportation,
where information displayed on a laptop or mobile device can be
seen or photographed by anybody in the vicinity. According to the
findings of a visual hacking experiment conducted by the Ponemon
Institute in 2016, confidential data was accessed in more than 90%
of cases where a screen was exposed. The experiment also found that
in half of those incidents, it only took 15 minutes to harvest
sensitive data, and half of the incidents resulted from the lack of
screen protection.
Kensington privacy screens reduce the risk of exposing sensitive
and valuable information to unwanted viewers, enabling users to
work comfortably and confidently whether working in the office, at
home, or on the road. Easy to install, detach, and reattach,
Kensington privacy screens limit viewing angles, reduce harmful
blue light by up to 22%, ease eye strain, and diminish glare while
helping to protect the screen from scratches, dust and smudges.
According to the NPD Group/Retail Tracking Service, Kensington was
the top privacy filter brand in the U.S. retail channel in Q3 2022,
and the MagPro™ Elite Magnetic Privacy Screen for MacBook 13” was
the top selling privacy filter from Q1-Q3 2022.
Benefits and Features of the Kensington Privacy
Screens
- Limits Viewing Angle – Field of vision is narrowed to
+/- 30 degrees, enabling users to work in their usual working
position while keeping the information on the screen private and
reducing the chances of a visual data breach in the office or in
public settings.
- Blue Light Reduction – Filters out harmful rays by up to
30%, easing eye strain and reducing the chances of blue light
interrupting natural sleep patterns.
- Low Reflective Coating – Reduces glare from outside
light sources for improved viewing clarity.
- Reversible Viewing – One side has a matte finish to
reduce glare and fingerprints. The other side is glossy and
provides a clearer view of the monitor.
- Seamless Magnetic Attachment – MagPro™ Elite Magnetic
Privacy Screens for MacBook conveniently and easily attach to, and
detach from, the MacBook frame without the use of adhesives. Even
with the privacy screen attached, the MacBook can close completely
to enter sleep mode.

Studio Display include:

“While the implementation of hybrid and remote work policies can
provide greater flexibility and increased productivity for
businesses and their employees, the ability to conduct work in
public spaces such as coffee shops and on public transportation
greatly increases the chance that a company’s confidential or
sensitive data may be compromised,” stated Santiago DelPortillo,
Global Sales Engineer at Kensington. “As an increasing percentage
of the workforce shifts to remote work policies, businesses
understand the challenges of this new normal and are taking
proactive steps to protect their businesses through the increasing
deployment of privacy screens and other data protection
solutions.”
Kensington privacy screens and other products in the growing
family of Kensington data protection solutions are available in
North America through the Kensington store and its partner sites.
