Information Security & Physical Security – The Perfect Combination

The terrorist attacks on Sep. 11, 2001 in the US have marked, without a doubt, a before and after in the history of the nation and the global terrorism. The unthinkable became a horrible reality. Those attacks accomplished a massive destruction of human beings and assets. The enemy converted airplanes into non conventional weapons, waking up with this a big debate about future terror actions. In this context, one of the public demonstrations has been what we know as Cyber Terror.

We can define this type of terrorism like the kind that seeks to reach politics/ideological/religious goals hurting civil and innocent people, and it does it using technologies from the information world, performing big damages through what we call the “virtual world”

This type of terror, “Cyber Terror”, has reached its highest point during last years, being the Internet its main source of information. Most of the attacks are done from the outside of the limits of the object attacked, troubling prevention and dissuasion tasks. Its annual cost it’s been estimated in thousand of millions of dollars.

What can we learned from all this?

We can’t confront traditional terrorism or cyber terror as two different phenomena.  It’s essential to take measures to integrate and complement the searching to reach an efficient; integral and overall security. It’s also necessary to understand the importance of security today, and the significance of accurate security systems. It’s important to be aware of versatile systems that can combine physical security and at the same time are able to intercept attacks from remote places of the planet.

The main role of any building is to offer maximum safety and security to all its habitants.

Just very few are canned products to be sold in general; because all security design must be shaped according the real circumstances in the field to be protected.

Protection against terror and criminal threats must offer full security to institutions and governmental organizations, banks, private companies that are symbols or icons of a nation but also to commercial buildings and residences.

Organized crime and global terrorism are big threats almost unknown by many humans until today. Without a strong protection many organizations and companies will be constantly fighting their vulnerabilities in attacks such as Industrial espionage, property damages, loss of working days and profits, damage to their corporate image, and many others.

The need- In today’s world it’s a must to be trained to know how to protect installations from fraudulent activity and attacks.  SIA offers training in this matter to provide tools and knowledge about how to create protection circles around strategic installations to prevent losses and attacks.

Protection circles or armored barriers are designed to control people and vehicles access; to raise barriers against violent intrusion in every access point of the building; to get efficient alarm systems; control and observation points; active methods such as remote door locking system, smoke screens; panic button alarm; among others.

The threat of global terrorism has persuaded our specialists to develop training about how to design integral and perimeter control systems for installations to assure that the entire security staff of a building is fully aware of how to armor and protect a strategic installation.

Our experts have extensive experience working with different types of enterprises in different industries, and in a variety of infrastructures and systems. Our experts have accomplished in the last decade Engineering and Security projects around the world.

We own resources to gather and analyze intelligence information to know needs and circumstances our customers face and to develop specific protection tools for different scenarios. These tools are what SIA calls ARMORING. Armoring; not in a technological mean but a figurative way that implies to keep the enemy away and out of contact from our protected target.
