The physical security of our employees and buildings are a far higher priority to business leaders and decision-makers than they have traditionally been in the past. It is unfortunate that nearly every day there are reports or threats of violence in the workplace and schools around the nation. Although it’s hard to imagine, = the “all mythical and mysterious” Cloud can play a significant role in decreasing or even preventing a potential tragedy from occurring.
When we think about protection for a physical threat, it comes down to a lock and key, a way to limit access to areas where a perpetrator is not welcome. If they cannot access a location, the likelihood of them forcing entry through a locked door is far less. In a study performed by the FBI, nearly 70% of active shooter incidents ended within 5 minutes or less and 14% ended within less than 2 minutes. Locked doors simply take too long to get through.
