Guarding against unsuspecting physical data threats

Cybersecurity has a partner in physical data security to fight off malicious threats, jointly protecting against the breach of firewalls and physical walls. Governments and organizations alike are responsible to maintain the highest standards in protection of assets through intelligence and technology. Metrasens physical data security solution aims to upgrade the technology aspect of protection, and raise the standard to keep proprietary, confidential and sensitive data and facilities safe from evolving threats.

Physical threats to data security are right on par with cyber threats, each posing a risk with wide reaching repurcussions. The adoption of traditional security technology based on unintended uses are no longer the best option. Metrasens’ ferromagnetic detection expertise is specifically translated into a solution that further closes the gap from threats posed by recording devices such as cell phones, hard drives, USB drives and fitness trackers, in addition to knives and guns.

Businesses capture and process substantial amounts of data through company-owned or third party data facilities. The physical hardware in each of these facilities are accessed by employees, contractors, and partners, all of which pose a threat to data access and theft. Metrasens has developed a solution that enables restriction of data recording devices through advanced screening and detection capabilities.
