Least likely to help in assessing physical and environmental protection

Answer 1

Here is Your Answer

Quetion :- Least likely to help in assessing physical and environmental protection

Answer :- It is generally accepted that, when it comes to protecting information resources from a physical perspective (i.e. where we are protecting tangible assets that one can touch, kick, steal, drop, etc.,), the name of the game has to be about convincing a perpetrator that the cost, time and risk of discovery involved in attempting unauthorised access to information or equipment exceeds the value of the gains thus made.

Physical security is not a modern phenomenon - it exists to deter or prevent unauthorised persons from entering a physical facility or stealing something of perceived value. The safety of personnel should not be overlooked in this respect.

Little has changed over the centuries when it comes to protecting property, with locked doors/chests, armed security guards, booby-traps, etc.

Physical security considerations (at all levels from corporate to personal) should include protection from burglary, theft, vandalism, view and, potentially, terrorism, depending upon your location and what you are into! The very best in software security isn't worth very much if somebody walks off with your computer under their arm!

Additionally, environmental threats include fire, flood, natural disasters and contamination from spilled food/drink.

The following gives a brief overview of some of the options available for physically securing and protecting your equipment and data.
