Maximize Uptime of Physical Security Network Devices

Physical Security is paramount for any organization, with constantly emerging threats ranging from in-person activities to cyberattacks. Modern technology has radically changed how organizations maintain an optimal physical security posture, accentuated by IoT and Artificial Intelligence. However, security systems need constant uptime, a challenge that requires the right strategy.

A study by Data Bridge Market Research¹ indicates that the Physical Security market in North America was valued at $238.60 million in 2023 and is forecasted to reach $612.20 million by 2031. This is based on a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 12.5% during the forecast period. The figures show that organizations are keenly investing in physical security, making it an essentiality that cannot be undermined.

Network devices are the most essential components of digital security systems, as they connect endpoints and constitute the primary storage and processing system. However, network devices are often vulnerable to cyberattacks and need a robust security posture.

In-house IT teams might be unable to strategize and maintain an effective security posture. Hiring and training costs are a significant challenge; organizations need to look beyond in-house capabilities and look for a Managed Physical Security (MPS) provider, such as New Era Technology, who can maintain the required physical security posture.

• Any device failures are pinpointed within minutes, prompting swift action by trained resources to troubleshoot and triage potential issues.
• If needed, experts will coordinate the deployment of field resources to initiate repair or replacement for the faulty equipment. This proactive strategy guarantees that your investment in physical security remains operational, safeguarding your assets and personnel effectively when needed.
• Having a well-qualified and experienced team to manage your physical security requirements and work with your in-house team is important.
• The savings in hiring, training, and equipping resources with the proper skill set.
