Workstation operating systems such as NT or Unix/Linux can be configured in such a way as to act as a server. Physical Security All servers must be secured at all times to prevent theft and loss of critical data. They must be protected behind rooms that require access using biometrics or card swipe device. Room keys may be temporary used until one of the approved methods …
