CISSP - Domain 4 - Physical Security

Physical Security is also known as Environmental Security. Perhaps the most underrated domain of CISSP, which in reality is very important, least, in respect to exam preparation. The domain focuses particularly on the threats, vulnerabilities and countermeasures that can be utilized to physically protect an enterprise's resources and sensitive information. The domain also gives a good overview on how to choose a secure site, design, configuration and practical implementation techniques. It is pertinent to know that the most important theme of this domain is protecting people first. The domain also takes into account how to naturally enforce physical security without creating much artificial fuss around -- Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED).
