Security Starts at the Door

Protect your people, assets, and infrastructure with integrated physical and environmental safeguards—managed by trusted providers.

What Is Physical & Environmental Security, and Why It Matters

Cybersecurity isn’t just digital—your physical environment matters too.

Physical and environmental Security refers to the systems and practices that protect your organization’s physical infrastructure—from office buildings and data centers to remote cabinets and edge locations. This includes access control systems, video surveillance, smart sensors, environmental monitoring (temperature, humidity, water, smoke), and more.

Breaches don’t always come from the Internet—stolen credentials, unlocked cabinets, or overheated server rooms can lead to real losses. At TeleSwitch, we help you plan and source managed solutions that keep your physical environment as secure as your network.
