  • Abstract
    Physical security technology is being used more often to protect the integrity of computing systems and the assets they contain. A physical security rating system is defined in terms of the difficulty of mounting a successful physical attack against it, quality assurance documentation and system testing. An evaluation system is presented for determining adequate physical security, as a function of the environment in which the system is placed and the value of the assets resident in the system
