Cybersecurity Meets Physical Security: Collaboration

Physical Security –

In today’s digital world, security threats are no longer just physical. Cyberattacks can be just as dangerous as break-ins or theft. That’s why collaboration between security guards and IT teams is becoming more important than ever. At XPressGuards, we understand that true protection comes from combining physical security with cybersecurity measures.

The Growing Need for Cyber-Physical Security
Many businesses store valuable digital data and rely on connected security systems. However, cybercriminals can:
– Hack into security cameras to disable them
– Disrupt access control systems, allowing unauthorized entry
– Steal confidential employee or customer information
– Launch ransomware attacks that lock businesses out of their own systems

Meanwhile, physical security threats like trespassing, theft, and vandalism still exist. A combined security approach ensures that businesses are protected from all angles.

How Security Guards and IT Teams Work Together
At XPressGuards, we help businesses bridge the gap between physical security and cybersecurity by:

1. Enhancing Surveillance System Security
– Our security guards work with IT teams to ensure cameras are secure from hackers.
– We prevent tampering by monitoring video feeds in real-time.

2. Protecting Access Control Systems
– Many buildings use keycard entry and biometric scanners, which can be hacked.
– Our security guards verify identities manually to prevent unauthorized access.

3. Monitoring and Responding to Security Alerts
– Cybersecurity systems can detect suspicious activity, but they need physical guards to respond.
– Our trained security personnel can investigate alerts and take action immediately.

4. Training Guards in Cyber Awareness
– Guards are trained to recognize cyber threats, such as phishing emails or suspicious USB devices.
– They work with IT teams to report vulnerabilities before they become problems.

By combining on-site security with digital protections, XPressGuards helps businesses stay ahead of modern threats.
