When security professionals are faced with the question of how many unauthorized people are acceptable in their buildings, the answer is always a resounding zero. If asked a similar question of who has access to organizational facilities now and whether they are authorized, would the answer be as confident?
As today’s physical security risks turn into cybersecurity risks and vice versa, reassuring stakeholders that their facility is safe from unauthorized entry or penetration is an ominous task for all security and information technology (IT) operations teams. As security leaders know, it takes more than perceived improvements and assumptions to prove such a notion. Security professionals therefore need to plan, operate and demonstrate risk reduction using reporting platforms — and a modern secured entry strategy can help.
