How can you measure your risk of unauthorized entry? Until now, it’s been virtually impossible. When it comes to security entrances, new analytics technologies (e.g. PSIM, IoT, etc.) are emerging, and it’s becoming possible to use technology, combined with people, to tap into security entrance metrics as part of an overall physical security strategy.
Measuring penetration risk is about prediction, and to accurately predict requires a reliable tailgating prevention strategy, otherwise any PSIM or other available analytical tool will fall short. In this article, we’ll talk about the challenges security professionals face related to penetration risk measurement; later, in a second article, we’ll demonstrate how a tailgating prevention strategy actually works and the metrics that can help predict your risk of penetration.
