The Importance of Physical Security

What is Physical Security

As technology continues to advance, we are more diligent about how our internet presence can pose security risks. There are training courses on phishing, malware, and data theft, but physical security is just as important. You can have all the best online security practices in the world, but without physical security, a bad actor can walk through the door and access your data.

Physical security is the protection of people, property, data, and assets from physical actions that can cause damage or loss to the organization. This includes protection from fire, flood, natural disasters, burglary, theft, vandalism, and terrorism. Some organizations have policies to increase their security posture and insurance to minimize damage. Having physical security ensures the safety and protection of employees, alongside the protection of data.
