Physical Security
Physical security is the protection of a company's physical assets from theft, damage, or unauthorized access. Physical assets include items such the building itself, its contents (such as computer equipment and documents), and the people who work there. Physical security measures can consist of company policies, security cameras, and alarm systems.
What Small and Midsize Businesses Need to Know About Physical Security
Physical security is essential for companies of all sizes, but it's vital for SMBs. Small businesses may not have the financial resources to replace stolen or damaged property, so it's essential to take steps to protect it from potential thieves.
