Designing a holistic solution
Many organizations are becoming increasingly aware of the benefits that new technology can deliver in the arena of physical security, but may be struggling with the challenges of managing their existing solutions. A historical tendency in the security industry to propose standalone, single-issue technology solutions has resulted in complexity and inefficiency. By contrast, IBM views physical security in the same way as other strategic business requirements, and addresses it in a holistic, future-aware manner. IBM believes that it is essential to establish systematic policies and procedures that enforce and reinforce security across every business process. Starting with hands-on workshops and discovery sessions, IBM can help you establish the value of sensitive assets, and the risk of intrusion, loss or damage. Based on these assessments, the security strategy and detailed policies can be defined, which will lead naturally to the correct level of investment for each business area.

Practical starting point
The Physical Security Visioning Workshop run by IBM Security and Privacy Services is a one-day session that introduces attendees to the possibilities of physical security transformation through technology. From an overview of the business drivers for security, the workshop covers the standard technologies and looks at how they can be aggregated into a full command-and-control centre for the security infrastructure. As part of this overview stage, IBM will look at policy based process adherence and at the possibilities of applying analytics to the data gathered from the security infrastructure. By showcasing solution examples and options, the workshop highlights the gap between existing approaches to physical security and possible future approaches, demonstrating the potential benefits and helping to create a high-level roadmap.

IBM can help you to plot your journey from where you are today through to where you want to be, enabling an efficient and effective command and control center. Because you have an existing investment in security, a complete replacement is rarely a cost-effective option. This transition needs to balance the anticipated value and incurred cost vs. reduced risk, improved readiness and ongoing cost savings through seamless communications.
