Assignment Details

The security of information assets is critical to any operational environment. The existence of (or the lack of) good security measures will determine the stability of the operating environment and the availability of resources. As a result, security should not be an afterthought in the network architectural design process. In any network environment, the most successful access control solution is one that was considered in the design process. Access control can be broken down into area, physical access control, and logical access control.

In 4–6 paragraphs, address the following:

• Describe physical access control.
• Discuss any form of physical access control, and reference a time when you have used this form of physical access control to provide security to an information asset.
• Describe logical access control.
• Discuss any form of logical access control you have used, and discuss a situation in which you have leveraged this form of logical access control to provide security protection for an information asset.
