We often talk about securing your computer from viruses, spyware, or hackers.  But, we less think about someone physically getting to your computer to access your personal information.  So, it is smart to learn how to physically secure your office so that your computers are safe from potential robbers or in-person hackers.

Here are the steps to take to secure your computers inside your office:

1. Set up a video surveillance system that records your office entrance and office activity itself for easy playback.
2. Make sure your building is set up for a buzz-in entry or that there is a doorman or stop form of security.
3. Set up an intercom system so you can see those who enter your building and/or office.
4. Lastly, and most importantly, set up a “hold-up” button so you can press this button to alert the police if being held-up.

We have called up ADT Security to take care of security for our offices and we feel very secure.  This is a small price to pay for not only your computer contents, but also your personal safety.
