issues. Physical security, rules and processes, and software-based security are the three categories

Physical Security......................................................................................................................................5
Physical security is just as vital as online security when it comes to protecting an IT system since it
ensures that the company's equipment is safe from unintentional loss and damage, theft, vandalism,

unauthorized personnel from entering the workplace............................................................................5
