Firewall Geeks Meet The Night Watchmen
from the it's-all-related dept
As companies begin to realize that the biggest threat to their computer networks is someone with physical access to their network, it seems that the world of computer security and physical security are coming together. Technology is now being place to help monitor what's happening in the physical location of servers, to make sure nothing questionable is going on. Eventually, many security experts say that the two fields will overlap completely. Certainly, physical security procedures can be upgraded by making use of technology. Some companies are even tracking employees physical locations to their network activity to see what they're up to, and from where.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
