The Role of Physical Security
In this video, you will learn that without good physical security, cybersecurity can be ineffective. If someone could easily break into your office, for example, then cybersecurity can only take you so far.
After watching the video, think about how you can increase your physical security. Here are some examples:
- use carded entry to help reduce unauthorized entries
- store any removable devices in a locked facility when you’re done with them
- limit the number of individuals who have access
- incorporate a strict set of security guidelines
Reflect and share: Now that you have learned how poor physical security can be a risk to your cybersecurity, take a moment to reflect on how physically secure you are. Share what you would change, or what you have learned, with your fellow learners below.
