We often focus on the obvious: cameras, access control systems, and security guards. But there’s a vulnerability that many organizations overlook until it’s too late: tailgating.
This seemingly minor issue can create major security breaches. Here is what I’ve learned about tailgating, why it matters, and how modern solutions are addressing this persistent challenge.
Security threats don’t care about your budget constraints. Yet in today’s high-stakes security environment, organizations are caught in the crossfire – forced to deliver ironclad protection while finance departments demand cost justification for every dollar spent.
The dirty secret? The initial purchase price is just the tip of the iceberg.
The total cost of ownership (TCO) reveals whether your security investment is a strategic asset or a money pit. This analysis cuts through the noise to show why platforms like the HiveWatch® GSOC Operating System (OS) are fundamentally changing the economics of protection in ways that traditional approaches simply can’t match.
Security professionals are constantly faced with evolving threats that require sophisticated monitoring and response capabilities. Two popular solutions in the physical security industry are Real-Time Crime Centers (RTCCs) and Global Security Operations Centers (GSOCs). While they might seem similar at first glance, they serve different purposes, and both have unique advantages.
Security is a crucial aspect of any organization, and the effectiveness of security teams directly impacts the safety and well-being of employees and the protection of assets. In today’s business landscape, security teams are frequently asked to operate with limited resources while facing ever-evolving security threats.
Understanding the different types of field resources available and how to manage them effectively is vital for creating a comprehensive security strategy.
We throw around the acronym “GSOC” a lot. (After all, it is a part of the name of our product…)
As threat landscapes become more sophisticated, there are very simple ways that bad actors might gain access to a facility. One often overlooked (but critical) security vulnerability is tailgating, also known as piggybacking.
However, not all partnerships are created equal. To truly leverage the benefits of a collaborative partnership, companies should understand when partnerships are ineffective and how to create mutually beneficial relationships. Here’s a comprehensive guide with my thoughts on how to navigate partnerships in the security industry in a way that adds value to both your business and your customers.
“What is cyber resiliency?” is the question that started off HiveWatch’s latest webinar, “Building Cyber Resiliency in a Physical World.”
Here’s the deal.
Budgets are tightening or staying flat. The recent State of the Industry report from Genetec found that 34% of respondents said their budgets were going to remain flat, while 16% said they were expected to decline. This leaves security teams wondering how they can optimize their programs while keeping budget considerations top of mind.
In our latest webinar, we were joined by Bobby Louissant, Head of Technical Partnerships, Global Security, at Meta; Rebecca Sherouse, Director of Account Management & Security Advisory, at HiveWatch; and Gerardo Iglesias, Director of Physical Security, at Molina Healthcare. The discussion was moderated by Jon Harris, Sr. Product Manager at HiveWatch.
The group talked about the current landscape in physical security, driven by the need to maximize and streamline existing investments and operations to meet budgetary demands being placed on the organization.
Here are three considerations you should make when optimizing your security program with budget constraints in mind:
