Physical Security Is a Thing?


Hey guys!

I was discussing with a friend about physical and logical security in the Cybersecurity scenario. My friends claim that the logical security side is more important than the physical one. I mean the major part of everything focuses on the logic side, but the physical one is also important right?

What are some importants things about physical security?

Some (me) would argue that w/o physical security, logical security is meaningless. Physical access == compromise.

If someone can stroll into your office space and walk up to an unlocked computer, plug in a usb stick and download the whole code base, or if they can plug into your Ethernet or connect to insecure wiki and access your production database.. you are gonna have a bad day
