From the course: CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) Cert Prep: 5 Physical Security Design and Implementation

Physical security

- [Mike] As cybersecurity professionals, we spend a lot of our time defending the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our data in the digital world. We build controls designed to protect against hackers, advanced persistent threats, network disruptions, and other digital calamities that put our organizations at risk. We shouldn't neglect, however, security in the physical world. An attacker who walks into our offices and swipes a laptop may walk away with just as much sensitive information as a digital intruder who launches a SQL injection attack. For this reason, physical security is an important part of the Security+ curriculum. Hi, I'm Mike Chapple and I'd like to invite you to watch my course on physical security design and implementation. It's part of my 10 course series preparing you for the Security+ exam. I hope that you'll join me as we explore the world of physical security.
