Physical Security Solutions & Consulting

Physical and cybersecurity go hand in hand

In today’s digital world, cybersecurity and physical security are increasingly interconnected. Gaining access to your property can provide criminals the ability to threaten people and steal physical items from your premises, but it can also provide them an opportunity to infect computers with malware or access data through your IT infrastructure.

Start protecting your property and assets today with support from a physical security consultant.

The role of physical security solutions

Think of physical security as your first line of defense to protect your information systems. Unauthorized access to a facility can lead to a variety of cybersecurity threats. From installing malware to physically stealing devices containing sensitive data, this type of threat is both alarming and costly.

Physical access could also allow an attacker to implement hardware-based spying tools that are difficult for cyber-based cybersecurity measures to detect. Physical security systems are an essential part of any cybersecurity strategy.

Cybersecurity bolsters physical information security

At the same time, cybersecurity measures help to further enhance your physical security. For instance, surveillance systems rely on secure networks to prevent unauthorized access and manipulation of video feeds. Other physical security solutions such as key cards and biometrics are also reliant on a secure cyber infrastructure.

By securing your physical environment, you can reduce the risk of intruders gaining access to your IT infrastructure and potentially exploiting digital vulnerabilities.

How do these measures support incident response?

Beyond identifying security risks, security solutions like surveillance systems and more also play an important role in incident response. For instance, surveillance cameras offer real-time monitoring and record events. This can help you identify the entry point that led to a security breach.
