Re: Server Room Physical Security

["Bruhn, Mark S." <mbruhn () INDIANA EDU>]

Our IT facilities are all equipped with card readers (proximity, not
swipe), with cameras facing external entries.  Exterior doors are
alarmed, and we have glass break sensors on external windows.  Some
interior doors, including those into our main machine rooms, have
separate access lists and access is restricted to only those people who
need to be in those areas.

We also may or may not have outside cameras pointed along the length of
each exterior wall.

Subject: [SECURITY] Server Room Physical Security

Without giving away any secrets, can others share what type of physical
security is being used at Colleges and Universities? I'm interested to
know
what safeguards are appropriate such as swipe card entry, video
surveillance, alarms, etc. Thanks.
