Study Notes

Physical Security Concerns

  • Major concerns include unauthorized access, theft, and damage to physical assets.
  • Importance of concerns often ranks from unauthorized access as the top priority.

Physical Security Measures

  • Three main kinds of physical security measures are barriers, surveillance, and access control systems.
  • Anything outside these categories is considered not part of the primary measures.

RAID Purpose

  • Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) offers data redundancy and performance improvement.
  • Ensures data availability and protection against disk failures.

Risks in Information Security

  • Authenticity is critical as it involves validating customer identity and data integrity.
  • Risks associated with authenticity include identity theft and data manipulation.

Understanding Risks

  • Risks can encompass various threats that may lead to losses, including cyber attacks and natural disasters.
  • It is essential to assess potential impacts to prioritize action and resources.

Risk Mitigation Controls

  • Controls include administrative, physical, and technical measures to minimize risks.
  • Effective controls help in managing vulnerabilities and enhancing security.

Logical Controls

  • Logical controls enable secure access to systems and information through software measures such as encryption and authentication.
  • They are essential for protecting data in digital environments.
