With this said, the overall security in our model is split into two basic categories:
physical security and logical security. They are discussed in detail in the
following sections.
10.2 Physical security
Physical security is basically concerned with restricting physical access to the
server and the information it contains and is only one aspect of the security that
should be afforded to the server in our model, as best shown in Figure 10-3.
Figure 10-3 Physical security
It is imperative that the Domino server be physically secured. Physically securing
a server helps prevents physical tampering with both the server and the data it
contains.
Physical tampering includes unwanted access by unauthorized parties, as well
as any form of sabotage which would prevent the server from functioning in the
manner it should.
Data tampering includes access by unauthorized parties to make unauthorized
and untraceable database movements as well as possible modifications and
deletions to the data the databases contain.
The following basic points should be applied to provide physical security:
► The server should be located in a secure area, where access is controlled
and monitored.
► Only authorized personnel should be permitted access to the cabinets holding
the servers. In the case of self-standing servers, only authorized personnel
should be permitted to physically manipulate these machines.
