Physical Attack Surface
Assessment
What can be 'plugged' into your network?
Is it dangerous?
Overview
Physical Attack Surface Assessment is a cybersecurity service that evaluates an organization’s physical security controls to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers. This includes assessing entry points, surveillance systems, access controls, and employee adherence to security protocols at physical locations such as offices, data centers, or facilities.
