Course Reflection
Physical security is essential when it comes to property protection, and thus is inevitable to escape it when implementing security policies. Incorporating physical security helps in reducing vulnerabilities of property od data access. Therefore,physical security adds extra protection to assets being protected and reduces the chances of intruders to access security systems. In this course, I learned several things concerned with security policies. Thus have been able to understand the policy framework for security and governance of information (da Silva et al.,2015). It is through the course I learned about security policies, and now I believe I have the best understanding of the process of mitigating risks through security policy approaches. However,through the course, I discovered compliance with security policies and physical barriers are relevant insights into security.
Compliance with security policies is essential to ensure information systems remain safe. By complying with these policies, one can understand their roles and responsibilities towards the security of information systems. Besides that, meeting security policies enables employees to feel much comfortable in their positions and can perform their duties efficiently. On the other side, physical barriers as insight in security plans is essential for the security of information system (Moody, Siponen & Pahnila,2018). Physical restrictions tend to render intruders into a state of difficulties when trying to access facilities. For instance, biometric and other intrusions hinder intruders in entering areas where they can access the property.
Physical security as a course is essential for individuals specializing in information system security. First, the course equips one with knowledge of how physical security helps in the protection of assets. Also, by studying the course, a professional can develop a framework for mitigating risks to enhance the security of information systems (Hendrix, Al-Sherbaz & Bloom,2016). Through the course, one understands various threats and vulnerabilities associated with the arrangements; thus, one can design policies to prevent them.
