While data breaches remain a concern for security leaders, physical breaches pose a number of risks to an organization. They place employees and potential visitors in harms way and may make it difficult for them to return after an incident. Incidents may also harm a companies' reputation, especially if the breach involves intellectual property. Depending on what's taken, a security breach may disrupt an organization for an extended period of time and delay business operations. Security leaders need to consider risks associated with their physical location and create plans to mitigate them.

The eBook highlights the costs associated with a physical security breach and emphasizes that security needs to remain a priority, even if an organization is forced to make budget cuts.
