What has this got to do with assembley

1) physicallly lock the pc if possible
2) power on/bios password
3) put a password on the safe mode "administrator" account
4) disable the guest account
5) stronger user passwords
6) use control-alt-del to logon
7) password protect your email identity
8) implement screen lock
9) secure your network communications
