With the concentration by many organizations on their online vulnerabilities, physical security can often be overlooked. While this is certainly understandable, it could have devastating consequences.
Though cyberattacks tend to make headlines, most security breaches are still caused by an on-premise attacker. It’s much easier to compromise a system when you have physical access to it. Whether the attack comes from a disgruntled employee, a temporary contractor, or a visitor who is unwittingly given unnecessary access, the result is the same and the damage can be severe.
Beyond compromising systems and stealing data, physical security also encompasses areas such as the safety of the parking lot and the security of your reception desk. Are visitors required to sign in? Does this actually happen day to day? Do visitors take the time to sign out when they leave? Do employees tend to prop open the back door? Does valuable equipment get left on the loading dock?
All these questions and many more are answered in a physical security assessment.
