Devices like printers are implemented into nearly every organisation’s corporate infrastructure, yet often little thought is put into considering the security risks
An organisation's physical security is just as important as digital security in ensuring their assets remain free from compromise
What Challenges Can Be Addressed By Physical Security Reviews?
Weak Access Controls
Organisations frequently use weak access control mechanisms that can be abused by attackers to gain physical access to space intended to be restricted. This can include weaknesses such as outdated keycard systems that attackers can abuse by cloning cards, or security turnstiles that allow for tailgating.
Staff Awareness
Staff can often be the weakest link in an organisation’s security, and attackers know and abuse this fact. This can include employees holding doors that would usually require a pass to open, not challenging unknown people entering the building, or not properly reviewing a person’s identification.
Surveillance Gaps
The surveillance used by an organisation can often contain blind spots that attackers can identify and abuse knowing they won’t be seen. Physical security reviews assess the surveillance used and ensure that no blind spots that can be abused exist.
