Hardware Security

Hardware security refers to the protection of computers' hardware resources from physical loss or damage.
Hardware Security Measures
1. Computers should be kept in an appropriate temperature i.e. the room temperature should be maintained in between 18 to 24 degree Celsius for older system and between 0 to 40° C for modern systems otherwise the system may cease to work.
2. We should maintain an appropriate power supply system. Computers need 220V to 240V constantly and the frequency of electric current could be ranged from 49.5 to 50 Hz, It is recommended to use power protection devices such as Volt Guard, Spike Guard, Stabilizer, UPS system etc.
