Bernard Sommer, Managing Director of Interflex Datensysteme GmbH
In an interview with the trade magazine Security Insight, Bernard Sommer, Managing Director of Interflex Datensysteme GmbH, explains, among other things, how the role of physical security has changed and what trends and developments can be observed in the market. Companies have become much more sensitive when it comes to the physical security of buildings, sensitive corporate areas, and industrial sites.
“Companies that only invest in optimizing their cybersecurity measures do not consider that attackers also try to gain physical access to infrastructure,” says Bernard Sommer. Therefore, it is important for company security officers to regularly check whether their security technology is still up-to-date.
His conclusion: View corporate security holistically and establish a coordinated mix of physical and digital security measures. In addition, cloud-based security solutions, such as Interflex Managed Services, help close security gaps. These gaps often arise due to a shortage of skilled workers within the company or because important security updates are installed with delays.
