Physical Device Security

Unauthorized Access to Device:

  • Leaving a device unlocked could lead to unauthorized access to the device and the data able to be accessed through it. 
  • Unauthorized access to the device could also lead to malicious dongles or software being added to the device. 

Loss of device:

  • From being rendered inoperable
  • Stolen

Sanitation of data:

  • Unless otherwise specified, data should be wiped from devices when they are being retired from a project​. CSU Surplus has a sanitation service to securely wipe or destroy devices following industry best practices.
