In cybersecurity, VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are not directly related to digital threats but are important in physical security contexts, particularly in environments with electronic devices. VOCs are toxic gases released from certain solids or liquids, such as plastics, when they are heated or melted. These compounds can pose health risks to personnel and can also indicate tampering or overheating of electronic equipment, which may be relevant in security monitoring. Detecting VOCs can help identify potential hardware sabotage or environmental hazards in data centers and secure facilities.
