Awareness Day Twenty Six: Physical Security
Physical security is often overlooked as a cyber security risk. By ensuring that devices (including servers) are safely locked away, it will help prevent tampering and so help prevent a cyber attack. Ensuring rooms that hold equipment that might store a lot of personal data, such as the server, the backup, certain laptops, iPads, are locked when not in use will help prevent device loss and so prevent a data breach and potentially a cyber attack.
