After all, your businesses most valuable information, probably stored in the hard drives of computers rather than physically. What’s more, many of your business’s main functions, probably governed by software. However, while cyber-security is important, it’s important not to neglect physical security measures, such as perimeter fencing, integrating fencing solutions and CCTV. If you focus solely on cyber-security and forget about physical security, you may leave your business’s premises exposed and vulnerable. Here at Zaun, we specialise in the provision of perimeter fencing and other physical security measures. Consequently, we understand how disastrous it can be for a business to ignore this aspect of security.
You may believe that all your most valuable assets are online or stored safely on one of your own servers. But an intruder can still do a lot of damage if they gain access to your business’s physical premises and assets. Office equipment may get stolen by thieves and your premises vandalised by hooligans and miscreants. Even if your business’s digital assets aren’t harmed, physical theft and vandalism can still be costly and very damaging. If you need time to replace stolen equipment or repair vandalised items, your business’s efficiency can also be significantly impaired. Worse still, the computers on which your business depends can be stolen like any other piece of office equipment if you don’t have adequate physical security.
