Physical security refers to the measures and practices designed to protect people, property, and assets

from physical threats. These threats can include unauthorized access, theft, vandalism, natural disasters,
or acts of terrorism. Physical security aims to prevent harm or loss by implementing barriers,
surveillance, and response strategies.

Pouring Coffee on Laptop: Accidental damage, such as spilling liquids on equipment, can lead to
hardware failure and loss of critical data. Implementing protective measures like spill-resistant
keyboards or desk policies can mitigate this risk.

Breach of Intellectual Property: Unauthorized physical access to documents or devices containing


sensitive information can lead to theft or exposure of trade secrets. Secure storage and strict access
controls can help prevent this.

A Competitor Sneaking into the Company: An intruder or competitor physically infiltrating premises
may gather confidential information or disrupt operations. Security protocols like visitor logs and ID
checks are essential to address this risk.

Stealing: Theft of physical assets such as equipment, cash, or data storage devices can disrupt
operations and result in financial loss. Surveillance systems and secure locking mechanisms can act as
deterrents.

General Management: Responsible for setting the overall security policies, ensuring that physical
security aligns with the organization's goals, and allocating resources for its implementation.

The Management and Professionals: They handle the operational aspects of physical security, including
the deployment of systems, training personnel, and ensuring compliance with established protocols.

Information Security Management and Professionals: These specialists ensure that physical security
integrates seamlessly with information security, protecting both physical and digital assets from threats
Next slide

Understanding Facility Security: This involves identifying potential vulnerabilities in a facility and
implementing measures like surveillance, access logs, and security policies to address them.

Secure Facilities: Refers to the implementation of physical barriers, advanced access systems (like
biometric authentication), and regular monitoring to ensure only authorized individuals can access
critical areas.

Manual Lock:

 The most traditional type of lock, requiring a physical key to operate.


 Commonly used on doors, cabinets, and other everyday objects.

Programmable Lock:

 Uses a keypad or digital interface to enter a code for access.


 Offers flexibility with code changes and remote control capabilities.

Electronic Lock:

 Employs electronic components for locking and unlocking mechanisms.


 Can be activated by key cards, key fobs, or even smartphone apps.

Biometrics Lock:

 Relies on unique biological characteristics like fingerprints, facial recognition, or iris


scans for authentication.
 Provides enhanced security and convenience by eliminating the need for physical keys or
codes.
