In the last decade, digital technologies have transformed physical security by updating and speeding up communications and integrating stand-alone security devices into comprehensive, accessible and data-driven information systems.
This improved, connected ecosystem that links physical security with cybersecurity and IT security is breaking down silos and directly addressing the system weaknesses that could thrive in the older, unconnected world. In the past, an unauthorized physical access to a data center could allow a thief to download valuable company data onto a USB or allow a cyberattacker to inject malicious code or malware. Preventing these actions are a focus for the most advanced solutions that are designed for the real challenges of today.
