Keeping computers and networks secure involves more than just the technical aspects of the systems and networks. You must address the physical environment and the business as it exists. This involves evaluating the physical security, social engineering issues, and environmental issues. All of these issues require a balanced response from both a technical perspective and a business perspective.

This chapter will help you understand the importance of physical security measures, such as access controls, physical barriers, and biometric systems. It also covers social engineering and the environment that your systems need to be safe and operational.

Finally, this chapter also covers business issues including planning, policies, standards, guidelines, security standards, and information classification.

Note 

These business issues exceed the scope of the Security+ exam. They are intended to give you a well-rounded depth of knowledge on security issues and controls.
