As physical security evolves, IT must work with it

This paid piece is sponsored by IT Outlet.

Even in the age of high-speed data transfers and cloud storage setups that exist in a place somewhere beyond our imagination, seeing is still believing.

Every business, including ours, still needs to see certain hard assets to ensure their functionality, safety and security. As hybrid data storage and security systems evolve and mix off-site technology with on-site hardware that can take up significant space, the need for tried-and-true physical security continues to be a must. Anymore, physical security and IT security go hand in hand, or in this case, tech in tech. No, we can’t see the bits of data that we generate, but we can see the hardware that stores and moves the data. It all needs to be protected.

Why physical security, IT go together

Sometimes, it’s about protecting valuable merchandise. In many cases, it simply is related to keeping track of who is coming or going from a property 24/7.

No matter the reason, there are end-to-end, scenario-to-scenario solutions that can be tailored to any need. These are not the days of the security guard falling asleep at midnight in front of all those TV screens. Today’s solutions — at least ours — are sophisticated, customizable and top-notch.

Necessities of physical security for your data

Video surveillance is a great place to start in providing your organization with a true view. Our systems can be automated and focused on particular merchandise, employees or data. Through IP Access Control, you can bring in an outside-of-the-box, operator-centric system that ensures security behind the front door. This protects you from cyberthreats. Have more than one location to monitor or protect? We can link a system so you can watch wherever you want, whenever you want.

Tech IT Outlet uses

We work with and use the advanced technology of two of the world’s most trusted security providers: Genetec and Axis Communications. If those names don’t mean much to you, think about organizations like the Chicago Cubs or major metros like Salt Lake City or Sao Paulo, all groups or places that deploy the same tech we can provide to you. From video management setups to machine-learning equipment offerings that can watch or hear almost anything that happens at a designated premise, it’s safe to say we are ready to bring your physical security needs into the modern age — sorry, midnight-duty security guard watching reruns.
