According to Cisco’s SMB Cybersecurity Report, small businesses are highly susceptible to phishing attacks, ransomware, denial-of-service attacks, among other online threats.
In spite of the imminent online threats, physical security is equally important. You need to protect your assets, property, and employees by creating an effective security plan in the following ways:
Physical security is critical for the protection of data, networks, equipment, assets, and personnel in the building. It refers to measures taken to guarantee that only authorized personnel have access to resources, assets, and equipment within a facility. A building’s security could be compromised by natural disasters such as floods and fires or by malicious attacks such as theft, sabotage, vandalism, terrorism, and theft.
Is your building secure enough with only a CCTV system in place? Probably not. Data from the U.S. Department of Justice indicates that a building without an alarm system is four times more likely to be broken into. While the absence of an alarm system is a potential security loophole, other security mistakes can put your building at greater risk.
Don’t underestimate the urgency to adopt an executive protection strategy for your leadership team as well as your staff. Waiting to react to threats or problems could be detrimental, if not catastrophic, to your company’s wellbeing and your employees’ safety. Put a plan in action now rather than wait for a crisis to erupt. Work with Palo Alto executive protection professionals to learn more and brainstorm potential strategies.
