Study Notes
Information Security and Physical Security
- Information security requires the protection of both data and physical assets.
- Physical security involves designing, implementing, and maintaining countermeasures to protect an organization's physical resources, including people, hardware, and supporting system elements.
- Physical security is crucial for protecting information in all its states (transmission, storage, and processing).
Importance of Physical Security
- Most technology-based controls can be circumvented if an attacker gains physical access to devices.
- Physical security is just as important as logical security to an information security program.
- Physical access to devices can compromise data security, e.g., stealing hard drives from a computer system can compromise the information on those drives.
