	Physical security - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Physical security describes measures that prevent or deter attackers from accessing a facility, resource, or information stored on physical media.
		security response, to repel, catch or frustrate attackers when an attack is detected.
		Hiding the resources, or hiding the fact that resources are valuable, is also often a good idea as it will reduce the exposure to opponents and will cause further delays during an attack, but should not be relied upon as a principal means of ensuring security (see security by obscurity and inside job).

		Physical security safeguards take into account 1) the physical facility housing the information resources; 2) the general operating location; and 3) the support facilities that underpin the operation of the information systems.
		Accordingly, physical security safeguards need to be considered for information resources residing in static facilities (such as buildings), mobile facilities (such as computers mounted in vehicles), and portable facilities (in-transit facility housing).
		Appropriate physical safeguards need to be established based on the risks related to geographic location, including natural threats (such as flooding), man-made threats (such as burglary or civil disorders), and threats from nearby activities (such as toxic chemical processing or electromagnetic interference).

		Physical security is one of the most important aspects of computer security.
		Most security measures that deal with physical security are designed to protect the computer from climate conditions, although many of them also deal with protecting your computer from intruders who use or attempt to use physical access to the computer to break into it.
		Security is as much about preventing computers from being stolen as it is about preventing access to the operating system.

	Physical Security Surveys
		We have conducted all levels of security surveys from limited "walk through" surveys of apartment complexes located in low risk neighborhoods to corporate headquarters with the need to protect high profile executives, critical proprietary information and expensive assets, such as art treasures, as well as research facilities involving cooperative government agencies of different countries.
		Every security survey we conduct is significantly different as to the risks being considered, the level of protection desired and budgetary restraints that will apply.
		While security surveys do not result in the immediate dramatic effect that accompanies a criminal apprehension, often measurable results are visible almost immediately.

		The main intent of physical security is to deter attackers by persuading them that the likely costs of attack exceed the value of making the attack.
		For example, ATMs (cash dispensers) are protected, not by making them invulnerable, but by spoiling the money inside when they are attacked.
		Hiding the resources, or hiding the fact that resources are valuable, is also often a good idea, but should not be relied upon as a principal means of ensuring security (see security by obscurity and inside job).

		Nevertheless, users concerned about traffic analysis need to be able to request that the physical security of the links over which their packets will be pass be maximized in preference to other link characteristics.

		However, the same problem is present for the high reliability TOS and the use of a sum is an adequate approximation for most uses as noted in RFC 1349.
