Physical Security

Overview

Cyber criminals never rest. They sleep with one eye open to continually find new ways to penetrate your home and workplace’s shields, working hard to steal your sensitive information and data. Thankfully, you can ensure their efforts are futile by knowing what to look out for, how to catch unauthenticated individuals in their tracks, and how to implement effective physical security measures at home and the office.

With a laptop and an internet connection, we can work anywhere, anytime. The dawn of the web brought with it more freedom and flexibility than ever before, empowering mobile workers to be more productive. However, connecting to unknown WiFi can be risky, potentially exposing your sensitive information to prying eyes.
