Question

Just as important as remote access control is local access, for which the first line of defense is perimeter control at the site location to prevent unauthorized access to the facility. Proximity protection components are usually put into place to provide security. External boundary protection mechanisms can be provided by using the following control types: Access control mechanisms, Physical barriers, Intrusion Detection, Assessment, Response, and Deterrents. Discuss two of these control types and provide examples.

Answer 1

answer-

There are many threats present in our environment which can endanger our lives, property so it is better to make proper security control in place so that the chances of those threats can be reduced to a very minimum.These protection controls can be on scale level like in our houses by us or in our office or in our country by the government.

The two control types which can be used in our houses are Physical barriers and intrusion detection.

Physical barriers include securities to make our property, land or society at large secure from attacks.Physical security describes security measures that are designed to deny unauthorized access to facilities, equipment and resources and to protect personnel and property from damage or harm (such as espionage, theft, or terrorist attacks).

for example we can put CCTV in our houses or offices to monitor the activities outside and inside the premises.we also put locks, access control protocols so that they act as physical barriers and stop the unauthorized access.

the second is Intrusion detection which is used to protect our data and information from unauthorized access and stealing. as we all know that data and information is very important for us and other business like banks so they are vulenrable to threats like hacking or stealing so An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a device or software application that monitors a network or systems for malicious activity or policy violations.

for example we put firewall protection on our system infrastructure to stop malcious attracks or malwares which can be dangerous to our system.
