Physical access control solutions to resources

At present, all companies face new and complex challenges of physical security. Although security technologies can not respond to any company security issues, if they are properly applied, they can maximize the chances of the organization being protected and can in most cases avoid resource or money losses.

An important aspect to consider when implementing physical security measures is a proper balance between adequate security and the creation of an atmosphere of "jail" or "bunker" that would affect the operation of the company. Also, a proper balance must be between physical security and IT security. If the devices, stations and servers can be accessed or even taken from the building, any security measure of information is no longer worthwhile and can be compromised very easily.

Some of the aspects to be considered for choosing a solution:

• What do we want to protect?
• What threats do we protect for?
• What are the vulnerabilities that exist or might occur?
• What are the consequences of a loss?
• What level of protection do we want to achieve?
• What are the constraints?
• Are there security requirements and what are they?
• How Do I Respond Technological Systems And Procedures To Security Incidents?

In order to find out the risks, it is advisable to carry out an audit or a vulnerability assessment..

Losing devices and company confidential data can lead to customer loss, financial loss and employee productivity, and if the loss is serious, the business may not even return. Implementing an appropriate physical security solution can save the company from major losses or in the event of an unforeseen event.

Physical security is a broad term, and solutions can range from the simplest to the most complex. Depending on the specific needs of the company, one or more of the elements that can form an integrated solution can be chosen:

• Obstacles that might meet, intimidate or delay a potential attacker.
• Access control can be done using gates, doors, locks. Restricted and controlled areas can also be defined. A rigorous classification can be done through internal policies and procedures.
• Detection systems such as alarms, motion sensors, contact, which generate a response when unauthorized access is detected. These measures will increase the likelihood of an attack being detected in a timely manner.
• Identification and monitoring systems: security cameras or CCTV; these steps will help identify an attack, check an incident, and then analyze it
