Cybersecurity breaches are becoming more commonplace than ever before. With the average breach costing US$3.62 million in damage, it’s no wonder that global enterprises are scrambling to secure their networks and prevent attackers from gaining access to their digital assets. Cybersecurity attacks are becoming more sophisticated every day, with attackers able to hack, eavesdrop, spoof, and socially engineer their way into valuable corporate and customer data.

An organisation can implement all the IDS, SIEMs, and antivirus they want, but a firewall isn’t going tostop someone from kicking down your door.
How can physical attacks dismantle cybersecurity and digital controls?
Industry leaders have been saying for ages that physical access will trump digital controls every time – in other words, once an attacker has physical access to your devices, it’s game over. Despite these continuous reminders, physical security is often one of the most negl ..
