Are you spending millions of dollars annually but still lack the ability to prevent cyber espionage? The answer is more simple than you think – Physical Security.
Over-spending on outrageous security hardware but leaving the front door wide open doesn’t make logical sense, but this is the case more than not. I’ve personally conducted close to a dozen physical security engagements where most of the time, a suit and knowledge of the company was enough to social engineer my way through a building.
Social Engineering – is essentially preying upon the weakness of an individual by convincingly lying to gain their express trust.
Corporate espionage is a valid threat in the industry today, and improving employee awareness to challenge and report suspicious behavior is more than half the battle.
Even if an intruder happens to get into a controlled room, the battle is far from over. Having proper security controls and port security, can mitigate essential threat vectors from being available to an attacker. We can help with this issue by determining potential attack methodologies and building a well-rounded solution to address this growing threat.
It is imperative that all aspects of security are known to the customer, because it boils down to engaging the right people to create the best solution. A combination of physical and logical security solutions will aide in the overall defense of any organization.
