What is Physical Security?
Physical security refers to the protection of people, assets, and facilities from physical threats such as burglars, vandals, and even hackers.

Physical security is the protection of online accounts and passwords from being hacked.
Physical security involves the protection of people, assets, and facilities from physical threats.
Physical security is a device that is used to protect computers.
Physical security involves the use of encryption and firewalls to secure data.
Protection Methods
Ensuring you're safe from physical threats requires the implementation of a variety of different types of physical security controls. These may include:
Perimeter security
Access controls
Surveillance
Including fencing around the perimeter of a facility or property to deter unauthorized access. Gates to control access to a facility or property. Finally, doors and a walled interior segment access between the interior and exterior of a building.
Including locks on doors and windows to prevent unauthorized access. Issuing keys to authorized individuals to allow them access to certain areas of a facility or property. Finally, security badges are issued to authorized individuals to allow them access to certain areas of a facility or property.
Including closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras to monitor and record activity within a facility or property. Finally, hiring security guards to patrol a facility or property and monitor activity.
Which of the following is NOT a physical security control?
Network security is in a different domain from physical security. Permiter security, access control, and surveillance are all examples of physical security controls.
View Options Again
Perimiter security.
Access control.
Network security.
Surveillance.
Privacy Considerations
In many countries, laws protect individuals' privacy and limit the collection and use of personal information. Regarding physical security, this often includes surveillance cameras and should be carefully considered.
Liability Considerations
Organizations can be held liable for any injuries or damages that occur on their property, including those that result from security breaches or failures. To minimize the risk of liability, physical security is a must.
Cyber Security Considerations
While cyber and physical security are two distinct security domains, they do overlap when it comes to the protection of IT equipment.
Access
Observation
Devices
Devices in areas that the public has access to may be at a higher risk of accidental or deliberate physical damage resulting in an interruption of services. Because of this, if you have any sensitive or critical assets, these should be kept in secured locations.
Without sufficient perimeter security, unauthorized people may observe equipment with a telephoto lens. Ensuring systems, in particular workstation displays and keyboards, are not visible through windows, such as via the use of blinds, curtains, privacy films, or workstation positioning, will assist in reducing this security risk.
Radio Frequency (RF) devices, such as mobile devices, wireless keyboards and Bluetooth devices, as well as infrared (IR) devices, can pose a security risk to an organisation, especially when they are capable of recording or transmitting audio or data. If you're operating in a high security environment, the use of RF devices should be restricted.
When implementing physical security controls, what should you consider?
When implementing physical security controls, you should always consider the privacy, liability, and cyber security implications that the controls may have.
View Options Again
Cyber security implications.
Privacy implications.
All options are correct.
Liability implications.
Operationalizing Security
Policies and procedures are a must when it comes to operationalizing physical security. Who can access what, how they access it, what they can bring, what the operating hours are, etc. should be clearly documented for consistency and enforcement.
Is the following statement True or False:
Policies and procedures when it comes to physical security are non-essential.
It's highly recommended to ensure any physical security controls have accompanying policies and procedures. Without these, physical security controls have a tendency to relax over time and, in some cases, become completely inoperable.

Wrapping up
Physical security is crucial for securing people, assets, and facilities from unauthorized individuals, including burglars, vandals, and hackers.
