The threat of losing all the customers due to their individual data being leaked out is real especially in this age of technology advancement.
A company can easily collapse by one cyber-attack with all information being harvested for illegal activities.

The regular checks can raise the awareness of all the employees that there can be fake traps by their companies to evaluate their loyalty to the company.
Physical security

How do we know whether the security of our organisations is fully protected unless we test it?
Large corporations may just employ professionals to attempt in stealing an item from a secured area.
With a successful break-in and taking of the item, they can seek advice on how they can increase their security system to make it unbreakable.
With lots of advancement in electronic gadgets, the upgrading of physical security becomes a regular issue to all large corporations.

The main idea of this business security article is letting someone to attempt in breaking into the security system of our organisation so that we can evaluate the effectiveness of our security system and make improvement in it.
