RE: When companies neglect cybersecurity, customers become victims.
Thanks for the excellent information. As an IT professional, I completely agree of course. I'm also a student of physical security. As you know, physical access means everything. If you can get to the server or computer, you own it.
One of the reasons I became an ASIS board certified Physical Security Professional is because companies and individuals are not taking their physical security seriously either. You can secure your systems all you want, and then poor security will let a hacker walk right into the server room.
Once they are there too, they can do a ton of damage very quickly. The same concept applies to your home as an individual too. Take your physical security seriously whether you own a company building or are just an individual with a rental or house. Make it difficult to steal your valuables in addition to your data.
Physical security has been on people's mind since the dawn of man, right?
Look at the typical residence. Most people are not paying attention to it at all. Most businesses are the same. People don't have a good resource for securing their homes and businesses because the police, fire departments, and locksmith companies don't share the information well.
But locks and alarms are pretty common.
