Having a set of security cameras for your home or business is vitally essential especially in a today's insecure world. The required security level certainly varies from business to business. Amongst the most important businesses to install surveillance equipment in are banks. These properties are often an easy target for many thieves and burglars for the simple fact that they contain massive amounts of money and other expensive personal belongings. Although these security cameras can not physically intervene to stop a criminal incident they can scare off thieves and successfully capture the identity of brave thieves who might not be prevented by the obvious presence of the cameras. The bandits in this next incident are from these types of thieves. It was opening time at the Commonwealth national bank in Pritchard, Alabama. Usually not a whole lot of customers come in the early hours of the morning. Except for a few employees and a single security guard, the branch is virtually empty. Suddenly, the calm is shattered by sounds of rapid bullets being fired in the hall. a pair of robbers storms in and one of them was armed. |

Integration, union, and convergence appear to be the most recent key terms in the security industry of today’s world. Nearly 29,000 hits come up when we search the internet with the terms "security convergence." that number climbs to more than 200,000 when you Break the two terms up and search individually for them. The action seems relatively unavailable even though le there is an incredible amount of talk on this subject. The chasm which still exists between the physical security team and the IT security team seems wider than ever, even though the media and analysts have deemed this convergence trend to be a positive move. A considerable portion of the responsibility for the division between the two lies with corporate executives who usually put the network and data security group in the IT department while the physical security group is positioned in the facilities sector. This established a natural blockade which is normally not easy to penetrate. Nevertheless, another portion of the fault also lies with the security professionals on both sides of the equation. Apparently, the convergence of data and physical security will occur with or without the willing involvement of professionals on both sides of the industry. A major issue of concern in regards to convergence is that it has been driven largely out of the information security side looking to get data from the physical surveillance groups. Although, there are several areas of convergence that can be rapidly taken advantage of, but the most apparent one is balancing the event management (SIEM) and security information technologies that are currently specified for network security and applying them to the physical security showground. |
