the government agency to ensure having the latest security
measures available within the network in which you:
a. Describe the risks associated with not fulfilling the
activities outlined within your maintenance plan.
b. Indicate specific activities, personnel / resources required,
and frequency of execution.

3. 4. Recommend at least four (4) physical security measures that
could be developed to ensure the electronic perimeter of
electronic assets.
5. Recommend at least two (2) physical security vendors that
could achieve the four (4) security measures you identified.
Justify your
recommendations with your response.
6. Evaluate and consider activities that the Human Resources
Department could perform in order to complement and instill
