Autonomous Physical Security: Advancements And Future Prospect
As we know it, physical security is the protection of personnel, property, and assets from theft, damage, or unauthorized access. With the advancement of technology, physical security has evolved from traditional methods such as access control systems, video surveillance cameras, and human security guards to autonomous systems, providing enhanced protection and improved operational efficiency. Autonomous physical security refers to the integration of advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), robotics, and internet of things (IoT), to create self-sufficient security systems that can operate without human intervention.
Physical Security And Cyber Security: Two Layers Of An Overall Security Solution
Physical security is a crucial aspect of cyber security as it deals with the protection of the tangible components of a computer system. Given that it involves safeguarding the actual physical parts of a computer system, physical security is an essential component of cyber security. The elements of physical security include protecting workstations, servers, storage systems, and other pieces of gear. To guarantee the privacy, accuracy, and availability of the data stored and processed on these systems, these assets must be physically protected.
