We looked at how manufacturing facilities concentrate high value assets, including costly machinery, raw materials, finished products, and of course, critical intellectual property. We also discussed how weaknesses in physical security can lead to theft, vandalism, espionage, production downtime, and even risks to personnel.
We walked through common observations made on site in manufacturing environments, and highlighted key security measures that companies can adopt to better protect both their operations and their teams.
Here’s what we covered:
-
A clear understanding of the unique physical security challenges in manufacturing environments.
-
Insights based on real world assessments of manufacturing facilities.
-
Practical, cost effective security measures that can be implemented quickly.
-
A better grasp of how physical security supports business continuity and protects both operations and personnel.
