A fizikai biztonság védelme

Bevezetés

Elengedhetetlen, hogy készülékei fizikailag biztonságosak legyenek. A fizikai biztonság azonban túlmutat az eszközökön, és magában kell foglalnia a világ minden másának védelmére szolgáló stratégiákat is: például a nyomtatott dokumentumokat, a szervezet irodai vagy munkahelyi tereit, és természetesen Önt, munkatársait és önkénteseit.

Physical Security and Parliament

Unfortunately, physical attacks on parliaments and other legislative bodies are not uncommon, and often have significant implications for both physical and information security. On January 6, 2021, insurrectionists stormed the United States’ Capitol Building - home to both houses of the U.S. legislature - in an effort to stop the certification of presidential election results. The physical attack tragically led to five deaths and caused significant psychological distress for Congressional members and staff. However that was not the only negative impact. The attackers also destroyed IT equipment, gained access to sensitive materials in members’ offices and perhaps most damagingly, stole computers and other devices with potentially confidential information from the U.S. Capitol.
