Explain How Physical Security Measures Can Help Keep Systems Secure.

P2: Describe how physical security measures can help keep systems secure
Physical security measures are actions, which are only taken by an organisation or a private individual to keep every single piece of software and hardware in an undoubtable safe position. However, these measures are most of the times used to make the best protection as it can be from physical actions. It can be anything from small locks to more technical devices like biometric scanners or CCTV. Bigger number of systems if not every single one is secured with anti-virus software and firewalls but they would absolutely not be helpful if someone would enter the right room and delete or do any other damage to data. Nowadays, there is a lot of different measures available. In this task, I will describe these terms: CCTV, security personnel, locked doors, biometric scanners, identification, hardware locks and plugs/ports blocks. I will also describe how these physical security measure will help to keep the systems secure.
CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) - is one of the security measures that a lot of
This is a bit more new invention and not a lot of organisations are using it as it is very expensive security measure. Biometric scanners are used to scan people’s face, fingerprints, iris, hand geometry vein or voice as every single person has it different. The most famous and used identification is through fingerprints as it is easy to check. The scanner will take a picture of one of your fingers and then it will be saved and used in a binary code. Furthermore, the algorithm is assigned to one person so if the same person’s is scanned once more, the system will match it straight with the previous binary code and this is enabling recognition. A lot of bigger organisations are using this security measure to protect their personal
