Technical vs Physical
Hello All,
This is technical and physical controls definitions for Sybex 7th Edition:
Technical or logical access involves the hardware or software mechanisms used to manage access
and to provide protection for resources and systems. As the name implies, it uses technology.
Examples of logical or technical access controls include authentication methods (such as usernames,
passwords, smartcards, and biometrics), encryption, constrained interfaces, access
control lists, protocols, fi rewalls, routers, intrusion detection systems (IDSs), and clipping levels
Physical access controls are items you can physically touch. They include physical mechanisms
deployed to prevent, monitor, or detect direct contact with systems or areas within
a facility. Examples of physical access controls include guards, fences, motion detectors,
locked doors, sealed windows, lights, cable protection, laptop locks, badges, swipe cards,
guard dogs, video cameras, mantraps, and alarms.
I'm a little bit confused about Biometrics, smartcard, swipe card and Badges , they are Technical or Physical controls ?
