Tamper Detection System Definition: Tamper Detection System detects unauthorized physical access to a device or system by monitoring and alerting upon any tampering attempt.
Tamper Detection System is a security mechanism designed to detect unauthorized physical access or tampering with a device or system. It typically involves sensors or mechanisms that can identify changes in the physical integrity of the system, such as opening a case, removing components, or altering configurations. When a tamper event is detected, the system can take predefined actions, such as triggering alarms, disabling access, or initiating data wipes to protect the integrity and confidentiality of the information stored on the device or system.
