If physical security is compromised, all other layers we discussed can be compromised quite easily.
When physical security is established, technical security mechanisms can be employed to enforce access control, information classification, surveillance, and monitoring. Procedural protection includes security control, certifications, and badges. Let’s look at this in more detail to understand how technical, procedural, and physical access support prevents...
