Introduction
This document explains the physical security measures applied to computers to protect them from damage, theft or unauthorized manipulation.
2. What are physical security measures?
These are actions or devices that protect computer equipment at a physical level. They have nothing to do with the software, but with the environment and the protection of the devices.
3. Measures applied
3.1. Secure location
Computers are placed in closed or guarded spaces, such as classrooms, offices or rooms with access control.
3.2. Protected cables and connections
Cables are well organized to prevent falls or disconnections. Gutters are used to protect them.
3.3. Anchors or safety supports
Some equipment has anchoring systems (like laptop padlocks) that prevent them from being easily stolen.
3.4. Physical access control
Only authorized personnel can access certain areas with computers or servers.
3.6. Cleaning and maintenance
Periodic cleaning is done to prevent dust from damaging the components. Connections are checked and the space is kept tidy.
3.7. UPS and electrical protection
The computers are connected to a UPS to prevent data loss in the event of a power outage. Power strips with surge protection are used.
4. Conclusions
Applying physical security measures is very important to protect computers and ensure their smooth operation. This helps to avoid problems, loss of information and damage to equipment.
