MANHATTAN Privacy Filters Help Keep Computing Safe

According to Javelin Strategy and Research and US Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics, almost 10 million Americans learned in 2008 that they were identity fraud victims and 2.7 million households experienced personal information compromises that cost an average of $1,600. Cyber crime affects businesses too. Computer-related theft occurrences can cost a company $10,000 or more and keep IT systems down longer than 24 hours.

What can be done to deter identity theft, prevent unintended data disclosure and protect browsing privacy? MANHATTAN Privacy Filters can help provide a simple, inexpensive first-line defense against “shoulder surfers” in cafés, airplane cabins, busy offices and other open, unsecured work settings. By narrowing the field of view to approximately 45° from the display center, MANHATTAN Privacy Filters effectively discourage glances from curious onlookers and potential cyber thieves.

Restricting visibility to only persons with direct display views, MANHATTAN Privacy Filters can also help meet data disclosure regulations in the U.S. and Canada including the Children’s Internet Protection Act, Federal Information Security Act (FISMA), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

MANHATTAN Privacy Filters also help to decrease eyestrain, glare and annoying reflections without distorting or obscuring images. Available in 9 popular sizes, the frameless design easily attaches with a multi-option mounting kit to most desktop displays and notebook computers. Once installed, MANHATTAN Privacy Filters protect vulnerable LCD surfaces from scratches and minor damage and remain securely in place when notebook computers are closed for safer, more secure use almost anywhere. MANHATTAN Privacy Filters offer the same performance, a superior warranty and a better value when compared with other more expensive brands of privacy filters and screens.

MANHATTAN is a leading global provider of single-source personal computing solutions protected with a lifetime warranty for work, home and mobile venues.
