Physical access control is designed to protect certain areas or an entire building from unauthorized access. An example of a physical access barrier would be security gate systems or door locks.
Physical access control is important because it dictates who can gain entry into different locations within a building and/or who can be granted access to assets. It allows for the authentication of users and employees and ensures that they have the appropriate access to assets without compromising organizational security.
