That is pretty much it. If someone has physical access to virtually any
piece of equipment (router, switch, server, workstation, etc.) and they have
the skills they will be able to take control of the device.
That is why you will see that most datacenters have locked doors, cabinets,
cameras, climate control, UPS, etc.
