Controlling Access to the Computer

No computer will ever be completely secure if people other the than authorized user can physically access it. For maximum security on a computer that is not physically secure (locked safely away), follow all or some of the following security measures: • Disable the floppy based boot if the computer hardware provides the option. If the computer doesn’t require a floppy disk drive, remove it. • The CPU should have a case that cannot be opened without a key. The key should be stored safely away from the computer. • The entire hard disk should be NTFS. • If the computer doesn’t require network access, remove the network card.
