Has Your Firm's Security Had A Physical?
Physical security and data security are converging in the enterprise law firm today. As physical security systems become more IT-centric, they are more often being identified as an application on the network and not as a disparate system. In fact, integrated access control and surveillance systems utilize a matrix of rights and privileges to control and monitor personnel access to physical security points and video in much the same way as one would control access to servers, drives and files on a network.
Gone are the days when a physical identification or a signature was an acceptable means of allowing entry to a building by an employee or visitor.

They have been replaced by intelligent IP-based enterprise security systems that ideally are tied into the existing IT infrastructure and normally segmented via a Virtual Private Network (VPN).

This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
