In today's world, security is one of the top priorities for both individuals and businesses. Although technologies have reached an unprecedented level of development and offer many different security solutions, physical security is still relevant and important. Feratum Life offers a wide range of physical security services - from security solutions for private homes, offices, construction sites, ferries, public events and even bodyguard services. In this post, we will look at the benefits of physical security and the situations when it can be important and necessary.

Physical Security vs. Technical Security

Physical security means having a live person actively providing security and protection. This is a security guard who patrols a facility or event, monitors the area and responds to any suspicious activity.

Technical security uses technology - video surveillance, alarm systems and motion sensors - to identify and report potential security threats. Although technology is very useful and supportive, it has its limitations and is not and cannot be the only solution when it comes to security.

Benefits of Physical Security

1. Objective Situation Assessment

A living person provides a much more objective assessment of the situation than technological devices. A security guard can observe and analyze people's behavior and this can be crucial in preventing criminal activities.

2. Fast and Operative Response

A person who is physically present is able to react immediately to the ongoing situation. Technical devices can report a problem, but they cannot act and do anything about it. The guard, depending on the situation, has the ability to act immediately to prevent a threat or catch a criminal.

3. Human and Psychological Factor

The mere presence of a security guard is often enough to prevent criminal activity. People are naturally more cautious and avoid committing an offense when they know they are being watched by a real, live person, not just a camera or sensor.

Situations When Physical Security is Necessary

- Homes and Offices: A live, on-site security guard can ensure that your property is secure 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This is especially relevant in districts with an increased risk of crime.
- Construction Objects: By regularly patrolling the object, following work safety, order and circulation of construction materials and equipment, the guard prevents theft and vandalism.
- Ferries: At sea, the safety of ferry crews and passengers is the highest priority. The guard responds quickly to emergency situations, maintains order and ensures the safety and health of all passengers and crew.
- Public Events: Concerts and other large public events can be very challenging and require high crowd control skills and quick and decisive reactions that only experienced security guards can provide.
- Bodyguards: Professionals of the highest level of physical security, as their main task is to be able to anticipate and prevent potential threats.

Synergy of Technical and Physical Security

Although technology has many advantages, it is best used in combination with physical security. Technology can help signal and identify problems, but only a physical guard can fix them quickly and efficiently. It is this synergy that ensures the highest level of safety.
