Security has been a hot topic over the past few years with the downturn in the economy (I really hate to use the "R" word). With millions of people losing their jobs and companies going out of business left and right, both individual and company security has become an even larger issue.
But one thing that comes to mind and I wanted to share some thoughts on with you today is that security is not just "keeping intruders out", it is about not sharing information with people that could use it against you. So many times I hear of someone putting in a new security system with all the new "bells and whistles" only to come to realize that they have given the information and/or keys to people that shouldn't have them.
Just because we put up some great systems doesn't mean they can't be broken into or should I say "let into" because of the carelessness of the staff or management. My recommendation is to still solidify your security for physical intrusion, but don't forget about developing the plan and approach to who should have access, why and how are you going to manage and maintain who has access to "the keys" that are out there. Think through the whole situation and you will find there are loopholes that need to be plugged.
