🇬🇧 Cyber Security vs. Physical Security – Why They Must Work Together
In the past, locking a door was enough.
Today, entire companies can be attacked without a single intruder on-site.
Physical security protects spaces. Cyber security protects information.
Real security combines both – seamlessly.
“A building can be well-guarded – and still exposed if the digital door is left open.”

🛡️ Physical Security – Visible Protection
-
Access control, guards, surveillance systems
-
Protection of people, facilities, and high-value assets
-
Response to visible threats: intrusion, assault, sabotage
But: If systems and data are exposed, all physical barriers lose their strength.
💻 Cyber Security – Invisible Protection
-
Defence against hacking, data theft, manipulation
-
Firewalls, encryption, network monitoring
-
Staff training against phishing & social engineering
Yet: Even the strongest firewall fails if someone can walk into the server room unchallenged.
🔗 The Future Is Hybrid – Security 360°
The most critical risks emerge when both worlds connect:
-
Hackers access CCTV networks → movement profiles
-
Digital cloning of access cards → physical break-ins
-
Private devices used at work → data breaches
TSGW combines physical and cyber protection into one strategic system.
Physical resilience + digital intelligence = real-world security.
✅ Conclusion
If you only build walls but ignore data – you remain at risk.
If you only protect data but ignore doors – you remain at risk.
Modern security means integration, awareness, and responsibility.
