Application: Defeating Physical Security Controls to bypass Access Controls
You might be wondering if physical security is really important in this digital age. After all, you have been studying how to protect IT assets via a keyboard, not by wearing a security officer's uniform and guarding the server room's door. Should IT professionals ignore potential physical security threats?
Before answering, you may want to consider a few real events. In 2008, an online newspaper's web server was stolen, which cost them considerable downtime (Simons, 2008). In 2010, a company had an unencrypted hard drive containing 79,000 personal records stolen (Maxon, 2010). In 2012, a major health care organization had 57 unencrypted hard drives containing protected health information stolen (Lewis, 2012). What did these events have in common? Their IT departments ignored physical security threats and access controls.
For this Assignment, write a 1- to 2-page paper that outlines a plausible worst-case scenario where an attacker defeats physical security controls, gains access to physical IT assets, and bypasses access controls.
