Within the field of networking, there will always be a bit of discussion regarding security. Most of the time, when we think of security, we think about locking down our network infrastructure by implementing various preventative measures and practices. We discussed these in the previous chapters. We must not forget about the topic at hand: organizational security.
Organizational security focuses a bit more on evaluating risks, implementing technical risk controls, and operational risk controls within a company. In this chapter, we will focus on the aspects that are aligned with CompTIA Network+ training.
The following topics will be covered in this chapter:
- Physical security
- Prevention techniques
- Authentication concepts
