Physical security systems play a critical role in protecting people, property, and assets from unauthorized access, theft, vandalism, and other forms of harm. These systems range from alarm systems and perimeter fence to surveillance cameras and access control devices and they need to be inspected frequently to make sure they are operating properly and offering sufficient security. Testing the physical security systems that we have spent significant expense into installing into our environments involves evaluating their performance and detecting any vulnerabilities that could be exploited by hackers.

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

Posted by Jay Bartlett February 10, 2023 10:27 am Categories: Autonomous Security, Cyber Security. Tags: Cyber Security, Jay Jason Bartlett, physical security.

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.
