Protecting and securing equipment

Physical security also concerns with the physical protection of equipment as well addressing various security requirements pertaining to the media where the data is stored.

Theft is one of the most important threats that needs to be addressed for personal computer, laptop, and media protection.

Equipment security

Equipment security involves protection from theft and unauthorized access. Some of the controls include the following:

Cable locks are used to physically secure PCs and laptop computers. These locks prevent the computers or laptops from being detached and taken away.
Encryption is used to make folders and files secure such that unauthorized disclosure and modification is prevented.
Full disk encryption is used to encrypt the data in laptops. This is to ensure that even if the laptop is lost, the content is not disclosed. This method is also used to ensure that the system is not compromised using a technique called cold boot attack.
