Default Securing TE to the bench?

What's a straightforward method for attaching equipment to the bench so it

I have 3/16 steel cable and ferrules for making lanyards. But how best to
attach the lanyard to, say, an HP 34401 bench DMM or Tek 2465? Not adverse to
drilling the case as long as there is strength to be had and can limit the
possibility of shorting.

Thanks.


Steel strapping?

If you are trying to prevent theft then probably need aircraft cable
locks like used for bicycles and then put metal loops on the cabinets.
