Physical security involves protecting assets and information from unauthorized physical access. Methods include locking doors, securing documents, using biometrics like fingerprints, ID badges, key fobs, and privacy filters to restrict access. Digital security focuses on preventing malware through antivirus software, firewalls, and antispyware to filter network traffic while also using strong user authentication like long, complex passwords and directory permissions to regulate access to information. Both physical and digital security are important to protect organizations from unauthorized access.

3. Description
 Physical security, as the name implies,
involves protecting your assets and
information from physical access by
unauthorized personnel.
 In other words, you’re trying to protect
those items that can be seen, touched, and
stolen.

4. Physical security
 Lock Door – one of the easiest way to
prevent those intent to creating problems
physically entering your environment is to
lock your doors and keep them out.
 Securing physical
documents/password/shredding – in high
security and government environment,
sensitive papers should be either shredded
or burned.

5. Physical security
 Biometrics – physical characteristic to
identify the user.(fingerprint, palm, hand
scanner, retina scanner, and soon, possibly,
DNA scanner)
 Badges – can be any of form of
identification intended to differentiate the
holder from everyone else. Eg: name badge
or photo ID.

6. Physical security
 Key Fobs – are named after the chains that
used to hold pocket watches to clothes.
 RFID Badges – is a type of badge or card
that give you access to resources, including
buildings, parking lots and computer.

7. Physical security
 RSA token – are anything that user must
have on them to access network resources
and are often associated with devices that
enables the user to generate one-time
password authenticating their identity.
 Privacy Filters – either film or glass add-ons
that are placed over a monitor or laptop
screen to prevent the data on the screen
from being readable when viewed from the
sides.

10. Physical security
 Retinal – one form of biometric device that
can be used to identify user.
– Matches are made based upon identification of
the blood vessel in an individual retina.
– Rather expensive.
 Tailgating – refers being so close to
someone when they enter a building that
you are able to come in right behind them
without needing use a key, a card, or any
other security device.

11. Digital Security

12. Description
Focused on keeping harmful data and
malware out as well as on
authorization and permissions.
Focused on:
• antivirus software
• Firewalls
• Antispyware
• User authentication/strong passwords
• Directory permissions

13. Why do we need Digital Security?
• Within our society, there
are people who are
dishonest and we
must take
precautions, just like
we do when we lock
our doors, to make
sure our digital
information and
equipment are
protected!

14. Digital Security
Anti-virus Software
 Operation:
 Run in the background at all time
 Update the virus definition to recognize new malicious
software
 Signature-based detection involves searching for known
patterns of data within executable code
 Generic-based signature are being used to detect new
virus by looking for malicious code/slight variants of code
in file and will be test in sandbox to see if it performs any
malicious actions.

15. Digital Security
Anti-virus Software
 Example:
 AVG
 Avira
 Avast
 Eset NOD32
 Panda

16. Digital Security
FIREWALL
• Device that provides secure connectivity between networks
(internal/external; varying levels of trust)
• Used to implement and enforce a security policy for
communication between networks
• Separate local network from the Internet
Trusted hosts and
networks Firewall
Router
Intranet
DMZ Demilitarized Zone:
publicly accessible
servers and networks

17. Digital Security
FUNCTIONS OF FIREWALL
Restrict incoming and outgoing traffic by IP
address, ports, or users
Block invalid packets

18. Digital Security
Antispyware
 Just as antivirus seeks out and stops viruses from
entering and spreading
 Purpose of antispyware software
 The OS from Microsoft are the one most affected
by spyware, and Microsoft has released
Windows Defender and Security Esentials

19. Digital Security
User authentication/strong passwords
A strong password is a password that meets the following guidelines:
- Be seven or fourteen characters long, due to the way in which encryption
works. For obvious reasons, fourteen characters are preferable.
- Contain both uppercase and lowercase letters.
- Contain numbers.
- Contain symbols, such as ` ! " ? $ ? % ^ & * ( ) _ - + = { [ } ] : ; @ ' ~ # | < , > . ?
/
- Contain a symbol in the second, third, fourth, fifth or sixth position (due to
the way in which encryption works).
- Not resemble any of your previous passwords.
- Not be your name, your friend's or family member's name, or your login.
- Not be a dictionary word or common name.

20. Digital Security
Directory permissions
 Can do to improve or change the security of the
directory services deployed.
 Can ensure that they don’t become a tool for
an attacker bent on compromising
organization’s security
