Why is a physical security stack important?
A firewall helps to protect your network from unauthorized access and cyber threats by controlling the flow of internet traffic in and out of your network.
Switches and access points provide secure connectivity and control over who can access your network and the resources they can access internally.
Surveillance and access control help to prevent unauthorized access to your premises and protect your physical assets.
Weighing the benefits and risks:
The benefits of implementing a physical security stack far outweigh the risks. By implementing these security measures, you can greatly reduce the risk of unauthorized access, data breaches, and other security incidents. This not only protects your business but also your customer’s and other third party’s data.
Industry standards:
When it comes to security stacks, industry standards such as Zero Trust, achieved through segmentation, inspection, and protection, are crucial. Zero Trust is an approach to security that assumes all network traffic is untrusted and must be verified. Segmentation is the process of dividing a network into smaller, more secure subnetworks. Inspection refers to the examination of network traffic for malicious activity. Protection involves the use of security controls, such as firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, and antivirus software, to safeguard your network and the data within it.
In conclusion, a proper security stack that includes a firewall, switches, access points, surveillance, and access control is vital for protecting your business from both physical and cyber threats.
