Physical Security

Physical security has two aspects: theft of computers (including their local information) and misuse threats associated with physical access. Information typically has a greater value than the computer on which it resides. Good facility security is always important, but you should also consider training your executives who carry laptops about the value of information and instituting a property-pass program for equipment entering and leaving your facility. In addition, servers should always be placed in a secure location to prevent physical access.
