Access to communication devices should be restricted by physical security access controls. As a particular, access to the communication devices should be restricted in much the same way that access is restricted to a data center. Typically, the door to the data center is locked; with entry gained by key, card, badge, or some other authentication technique. However, in many technologies, this may not be possible because the communication devices are physically and organizationally dispersed.

Dispersion of communication devices to insular locations makes it difficult or impossible to establish data center type physical security, especially when communication devices are mobile. In such situations, access should be restricted by installation of physical device locks. Locks restrict usage of communication devices to those who possess the appropriate key(s).

Control over access to communication devices may not be effective in an online infrastructure unless access to the employed communication configuration is also restricted. Many online infrastructures have communication devices located at a considerable distance from the central computer technology enabling connections through data networking.
