Physical security describes security measures that are designed to deny unauthorized access to facilities, equipment and resources, and to protect personnel and property from damage or harm (such as espionage, theft, or terrorist attacks). Physical security involves the use of multiple layers of interdependent systems which include CCTV surveillance, security guards, protective barriers, locks, access control protocols and many other techniques.
The biggest challenge in the field of identity and access management (IAM) is how to monitor and control the flow of personnel across the security perimeter. This can be achieved by carrying out a comprehensive risk assessment of the asset and decide upon the level of safety and security that is required

However, the major benefit is the improved security that can be provided at a time when security is a great concern to all organisations whether they are in the public or private sector.
The benefits that an integrated system can provide include the ability to view alarms from all systems in a single user interface and the ability to link access and intrusion events to video recordings. This can make investigation much more straightforward and reduce the need to send security officers out to respond to security breaches.
Identity and access control is typically specified to provide protection to both property and employees. Generally it is thought of in terms of managing doors. However, it often extends to public areas when coupled with turnstiles, gates and barriers, or highly sensitive areas when coupled with biometrics. By integrating access control with other systems many advantages may be realised. For example;
• Fire alarm mustering – know where your employees are at a given time.
• Know which doors/areas employees are entering, or trying to enter.
• Link CCTV images with access control
4.1 Theft In the event of physical thefts of company equipment or other network property we have to secure vulnerabilities in company property access and perimeter physical barrier that protects all company assets. To prevent intruders from accessing company grounds without authorization we have many choices in physical controls such as surveillance cable/laptop locks, cameras, security guard, alarm system, access control scanners at entry points, mantraps. As a preventative measure from property break-ins, all lower level (easily accessed from outside) office windows must be protected by installing window bars and/or using fence that secures all company property limits. In addition, a mantrap interlocking door control would greatly increase security.
This infrastructure is also not ideal in that every system uses the same username and password. In a production infrastructure each system should have unique and secure
Do we have a backup power system for our offices? Protection of customer personal information (in addition to security measures stated elsewhere in this audit checklist) 54. Do we only giving access to personal information to a person who is verified to be able to receive that information? 55.
Marques Underwood INSS 391 Security and the Future With the transition of companies leaning towards advancing through the usage of big data, cybersecurity and the trends in technology are creating an increase in threats. The goal is to protect the databases and devices used at these companies before they are hacked and compromised for unwanted reasons. We’ll see the general concerns with security in the IT field, and steps that specific companies are taking to prevent and adopt to the landscape of the future in security. Devices are increasing at a rapid pace these days, meaning the more data is being expanding.
They also handle all aspects of information security. This includes teaching others about computer security, inspecting for security violations,
Case 1: San Francisco International Airport and Quantum Secures SAFE for Aviation System San Francisco International Airport is expecting a rise of passengers due to an increase of low-cost carriers. They require a new security management system to accommodate the amount of traffic expected. Their current process is inefficient and disjointed, leading to many problems. The upgrade required needs to be justified and approved by management to be funded. 1.
Implement a policy where employees must adjust their passwords every sixty days and that they must set a screen lock out when they step away from their workstation 4. True or false: COBIT P09 risk management control objectives focus on assessment and management of IT risk. True 5. What is the name of the organization that defined the COBIT P09 Risk Management Framework?
1. Policies governing the network insecurities which include Email and communications policy, Remote Access Policy, BYOD Policy and Encryption policy 2. User accounts management through training and assigning of user roles depending on their access levels to information in the organization. 3. Setting up workstations and assigning every user a workstation.
Again, the data owner has the ultimate responsibility for managing the access controls, but does not need to have his/her hand on the controls daily. Instead, the data owner can have an appointed data security officer to handle the day-to-day access and maintenance of data control (Khatri & Brown, 2010, p. 167). This position will determine the levels at which each employee in the company can access the data for particular reasons. This includes limiting executives to various levels, with the understanding that their access should be for retrieval purposes, not for manipulation
1:- Penetration Testing It is the process of trying to gain unauthorized access to authorized resources, systems and applications. Penetration testing is also known as an ethical hacking as “breaking into your own system to see how hard it is to do”. Network security measurement is the task which aims at supplying the scanning to check the security flaws and security threats in applications and networks. 2:- Why perform penetration testing • Test network or system using the tools and techniques that attackers use.
This is great from an automation and security standpoint. If you have 500 employees but 200 of them use a specific level of security to access data sets and administrative processes but the other 300 are basic agents providing general guidance and customer support- you can set up permissions and programs based on the user location and allow or disallow communications and privileges regarding programs and access to webpages. A downside to this is that generally you need a specific operating system to run and manage this type of network. However, with the extra money and steps to create and use, you have a higher customization rate to where you can determine exactly in real time what is happening on the system and make changes with minimal
Procedures and policies required to address this are: • Access control using unique user Identification protocols, emergency access, procedures, timed auto logoff, and encryption and decryption mechanisms. • Auditing system that ensures that the IT system with the PHI is being recorded and examined. • Having an IT system that is dependable and protects PHI from alteration and being destroyed. • Making sure that the person accessing the PHI has the proper proof to identify who they are and are authorized to access.
To reduce the risk, companies or schools should use multi authentication. 8. Natural disaster Can result in loss of important and confidential information of businesses Back-up the systems on regular basis to avoid losing all of the data. 9. Unauthorized user gain the access to your workstation This risk could be loss of your personal information and data on your computer Should monitor the access to your workplace.
Access control describes selective choosing of the information on the network and only authorised users have access to those information. Accessing information means utilising the data for business processing activities on the network. The access control is secured with the help of username and password for which the access to information is given to only a set of authorised users on the
Transition: With these benefits, CCTVs are indeed an indispensable tool not only in security but in the progress of businesses as well. V. Action/Conclusion A. Review/Recap Today, I told you the several benefits of CCTV and that its lawful use is not a breach of privacy. B. Given the immense number of benefits that CCTV can bring to us, I’m asking you to consider supporting their usage for the betterment of our society.
