Physical Security Policy
Due in Week Five: Outline the Physical Security Policy. Merkow and Breithaupt (2006) state, “an often overlooked connection between physical systems (computer hardware) and logical systems (the software that runs on it) is that, in order to protect logical systems, the hardware running them must be physically secure” (p.165).
Describe the policies for securing the facilities and the policies of securing the information systems. Outline the controls needed for each category as relates to your selected scenario.
These controls may include the following:
• Physical controls (such as perimeter security controls, badges, keys and combination locks, cameras, barricades, fencing, security dogs, lighting, and separating the workplace into functional areas)
• Technical controls (such as smart cards, audit trails or access logs, intrusion detection, alarm systems, and biometrics)
• Environmental or life-safety controls (such as power, fire detection and suppression, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning)
