We Hear a Lot About Business Security These Days

If you are in business for yourself or run a large company, then you are constantly being barraged on issues of business security. All sorts of companies marketing scare tactics to sell their services, products and IT firewalls; in fact, I'd wager to say, because I get all those calls too; that 20-30% of all the unsolicited sales calls, emails and direct mail marketing pieces you get these days are those from such companies. Have you ever asked yourself why?

Well, consider this, Soynut butter it's a great business. These companies use fear based tactics to sell you stuff. As a business owner you are well aware of the need for security from disgruntled and dishonest employees to competitor espionage; oh and the occasional robbery or break-in and theft. Businesses these days must build a fortress around their establishments.

If you think a fence will keep them out, you are wrong, as they just might steal the fence itself and try to recycle it for scrap metal? So much for the old saying; "Anything not bolted to the ground is gone!" because even if it is bolted to the ground it still might be unbolted and lobbed onto a truck. Not long ago in our area folks were going into industrial areas and stealing solar panels off the roofs of businesses on the weekends? And you thought going green was the answer?

So, yes you do need security, cameras, smart IT firewalls and you need to be careful who you hire, fire and all of their friends. Yes, the saying; "Lose-lips sink ships!" is apropos as well. A word to the wise when looking for a great security company however; do some shopping around and read the contract and then make your choice based on good information and knowledge. Please think on this.
