CBT

Securing Facilities and Physical Assets

This CBT highlights the importance of physical security in safeguarding organizational assets. We designed this training to retrain the social norm of "politeness" into a norm of "protection." You must understand that cybersecurity begins with physical safeguards; a strong firewall is useless if an attacker can simply walk through the front door.
