USB Security: A Potential
Threat
1 Data Breaches
USB drives can be infected with malware, which can
spread to connected systems and compromise sensitive
data.

2 Unauthorized Access
Lost or stolen USB drives could grant unauthorized
access to confidential information, jeopardizing data
integrity.

3 Mitigation
Implement policies restricting USB usage, utilize
encryption software, and employ robust antivirus
solutions.
Physical Security: Visitor
Management
Controlled Access

1 Visitor management systems track visitor entry and exit,


ensuring that only authorized individuals access sensitive
areas.

Enhanced Monitoring

Intrusion Detection: Reactive vs. Proactive

Reactive
1 Responds to detected threats after an intrusion has already occurred.

Proactive
2 Identifies and prevents threats before they can impact the
