The further development of network, in a convenient way of life at the same time, also put enterprises and users at greater risk. The attacker using a variety of ways set an ambush in the network, malicious software, fake ads, viruses, trojans, network fishing, etc. Are their tactics. However, too many people will experience in the application layer, such as a higher on the management and service of network structure, don't think the application of safety is caused by the application layer is not safe, ignoring the network transmission - the basis of the physical.
In fact, in the process of practice, a large part of a network failure (according to the Sage Research, a study, up to 80%) are attributable to the physical connection. Physical security is the starting point of all security. Reliable computer room wiring is one of the important part of physical security. Traditionally, network administrators have faced with the time consuming huge, almost impossible task, namely to all physical network connection (MAC) and any movement, and changes to keep accurate records paper. The lack of rationality, planning and management of the wiring will make the enterprise face the potential threat:
Room pre-survey before wiring, because experience less wiring planning personnel, led to the planning scheme is not safe and reliable. For safety, no good start would be no good results, prevention is the fundamental safety. The original wiring planning is very important, this will in future device extension reduce complexity in the process of updating.
Found in the construction of wiring problems in planning, lead to time delay. For companies, delay means loss, would rather spend more time on planning, also it is best not to rework.
Cables are too mad, led to the decrease of the heat dissipation capacity, local cable overheat to lower transmission performance.
Late due to cable color are all the same, maintain the wrong cable. When accidentally pull down some shouldn't pull the plug, assuming that accidental disconnection is a VoIP switches or a key server, a device is off line with key information, the consequences.
Optical fiber due to lack of experience and technical personnel will its bending is acute, cause the main optical fiber fracture.
Cable due to violent construction, cause late often broken network, time cannot be detected quickly with the appearance of the bad points.
Faced with these threats, the traditional wiring method is powerless, intelligent integrated wiring is the important foundation of physical security. Smart wiring can ensure accurate archive database, can track all connections, and the physical activity can enhance the response speed of the IT support staff and work task order processing speed, make full use of the active and passive network assets, less downtime, better management of distal workspace, audit and convenient.
Physical security is the most important aspect is to control. If you can obtain physical control of a device, it basically means that you can easily control the behavior of the equipment. This is why physical security safety are more important than others. From steal data to modify many aspects of the hardware, physical security in many ways is likely to be attacked. Each attack may provide access to or understand how safety control work.
