What the RSA Conference 2019 Will Teach About Physical Security

August 6, 2019 / Jayar

Not only must enterprises be concerned about the safety of their digital data, but they should also care about the safety of the physical assets that house these data. Physical security is a measure of security being done to protect hardware IT assets such as PCs, equipment, facilities, personnel, etc. from unauthorized physical access. Dangers include theft, natural disasters, fires, and human errors. Physical security has become so important that this will be a major topic on the upcoming RSA Conference 2019 along with cloud-scale security analytics, API security, advanced security measures, and so on.

Three Trends Advancing Physical Security

This paper provides an overview of three emerging trends in physical security designed to create a safer workplace. There is a lot of talk about cloud based access and video management systems in part because they are easy to get up and running without a large investment or inhouse IT expertise. However, the functionality on a cloud-based system remains rather basic. As the technology evolves and more people adopt it, the functionality will increase. Some companies find that a hybrid system is the best option when moving from legacy systems. Combining local or private clouds with public ones can give businesses the benefits of cloud computing along with the best values of on-premises operations.

Twelve Ways to Address the Risks from Putting Physical Security Systems on Your Corporate Network

IT executives and managers in many organizations are being confronted by a new situation: physical security systems and equipment are migrating onto the corporate network, often with little or no consultation or advance warning to IT. The trend is the result of the convergence of information technology (computers, databases, wired and wireless networks, and embedded computing) into traditionally standalone electronic physical security systems and equipment. Card and keypad based access control systems and video surveillance systems, for example, now are IP-enabled and utilize Ethernet network communications. One of the first groups to recognize and begin addressing the risks of this convergence trend is the Alliance for Enterprise Security Management.

Driving Enterprise PSIM through True SOA

In the physical security arena, information and the speed at which it is delivered is key. It is this guiding principle that sees the huge growth in global PSIM deployments. Where information is key, access to information is vital, and nowhere is this more pronounced than in security.
