Detection is Never Enough
Automated Intelligence Empowers True Threat Prevention
Antiquated technology powered by incomplete integrations is leaving America’s biggest enterprises exposed. Entry points detect activity without a uniform way of distinguishing the good guys from the bad guys. Everyone in security knows this, but few are implementing necessary systems to address it. Systems and facilities from critical infrastructure to Fortune 1000 corporate offices are paying the price of an industry-wide resistance to modernization that’s allowing unnecessary vulnerabilities to thrive.
Crippling the Speed of Business
Enterprise businesses are surrounded by potential threats: physical intrusion from bad actors, cyber attacks, reputational threats from ex-employees and unwanted media attention. But no business can run in endless lockdown mode. The technology to automate and integrate digital and physical access management exists, but most integrators are not bringing the most applicable innovations to the table. Adding layer-upon-layer of defensive widgets without a strategic plan for threat prevention is a recipe for increased costs, incompatible systems and over-complicated entrance requirements, crippling the speed of enterprise business.
Our clients want both the security of a threat defense with the agility of a modern infrastructure. The answer for them? Intelligence-powered threat prevention. When we start with a comprehensive security plan which balances automation, detection analytics, and modern access controls, the shield of defense becomes a spear of proactive security.
Human Error Overrides Automated Intelligence
Perhaps you have an ex-employee on a watch list due to threats made against their former supervisor. Your camera system recognizes that employee and compares it to known-threat data, triggering the system to lock the perimeter while notifying key security personnel, all with the speed and accuracy of machine learning. Piggy-back entry in many facilities requires you to expect non-security team members to recognize who is allowed in the building and who isn’t. With comprehensive protective systems, your entry points—both physical and digital—know who the good guys and bad guys are, without human the frailty of human error.
The Power of True Integration
Prevention is the hallmark of a truly integrated security apparatus. Networks of software and devices leave real vulnerabilities, exposing your people, facilities and reputation to unacceptable risk. Absent of modernization and intelligence, too many of today’s enterprise businesses are leaving themselves exposed. A true integration partner begins with a needs-based analysis of your security vulnerabilities and builds a data-managed system to both defend and protect. This comprehensive approach reduces response time, frees up personnel, and slows down the speed and access of modern threats.
While many integrators are simply stringing together end-point devices, the SAGE Integration methodology ties together defense and offense—a shield and spear—guarding your most critical assets. SAGE recommends CSO’s set higher expectations of their security technology and integrators.
Are you integrating physical and cyber threat prevention into a central threat prevention system?
Are your physical entry points designed to prevent piggy-backed entry? (Where one credentialed party can choose to let in an uncredentialed party without recourse)
Are your employee database, facial recognition cameras, and touchless access points working from the same data in order to segregate the good guys from the bad guys?
Have you transitioned from device-driven integration (sold to you by a vendor) to results-driven (managed by a consultative partner)?
The SAGE team is at the tip of the spear, transforming reactive systems of defense into true proactive agents of protection. We are testing 3-4 of the newest technologies in implementation every month to ensure our enterprise clients stay protected and secure. If you have outgrown your small scale integrator or are underserved by corporate conglomerates, we’d love to meet you.
