A tamper-evident seal is a physical device or label that provides visible, irreversible proof if an enclosure, port, or shipment has been opened. In data centers seals secure cabinets, cages, unused network ports, and equipment in transit, supporting chain of custody and inspection routines. A broken or altered seal signals possible interference, prompting investigation and preserving the integrity of secured hardware.
