Abstract
As hot desking environments become more common, peripherals are getting taken off desks more than ever. Peripheral theft is at an all time high. People will use a hot desk and take one or more of the USB devices with them after their session. In other cases, people passing by the hot desk will need a specific device and take it without authorization. Currently there is no automated way to discover that peripheral devices are missing. Instead we must rely on the users to report the missing devices or have IT walk around and inventory every peripheral in a desk on a regular cadence. This method proposes a way to leverage the display capabilities to report to a centralized management system when peripherals are disconnected.
