Ensure your business stays protected in 2024 with these top 5 security resolutions. Learn how to upgrade systems with proactive video monitoring, access control, mobile security trailers, and more.
Introduction
The start of a new year offers the perfect opportunity for businesses to evaluate their priorities and implement changes that drive success. Among these priorities, enhancing security often ranks at the top of the list. A secure business is a thriving business, and with emerging technologies and evolving threats, staying ahead has never been more critical.
At ESI Fire & Security, we’ve spent over 20 years helping businesses protect their people and assets with innovative solutions like proactive video monitoring, state-of-the-art access control systems, and versatile mobile security trailers. This year, we’ve rounded up the top five security resolutions every business should commit to in 2024 for a safer and more secure future.
Top 5 Security Resolutions for 2024
1. Upgrade to Proactive Video Monitoring
Traditional security cameras record events for review after an incident occurs. While this is helpful, it doesn’t help prevent threats in real-time. Proactive video monitoring bridges the gap by utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) and live agents to detect suspicious activity as it happens, enabling swift intervention.
Businesses that invest in proactive video monitoring reduce theft by up to 50%, according to recent studies. Partnering with a provider like ESI ensures you not only deter threats but also protect your property 24/7.
Pro Tip: Look for a system that includes AI capabilities for motion detection and crowd analysis to maximize protection.
2. Strengthen Access Control Systems
Managing who enters your property is vital to enhancing overall security. An outdated or manual access control system comes with risks, such as unauthorized entry or employee lapses. Modern systems offer smart, scalable solutions like biometric scans, keycard readers, and mobile authentication.
With ESI’s advanced access control systems, you’ll have comprehensive insights into who’s entering your facilities and when. According to an industry report, businesses using electronic access control can reduce unauthorized entries by up to 40%.
3. Adopt Mobile Security Trailers for Flexible Protection
Mobile security trailers are a game-changer for businesses with temporary or challenging security needs, such as construction sites, festivals, and outdoor events. These versatile units come equipped with high-resolution cameras, motion sensors, and remote monitoring capabilities.
Whether it’s monitoring a large-scale event or safeguarding vacant properties, ESI’s mobile security trailers ensure you have eyes on every angle, no matter the location. The flexibility and cost-effectiveness of these trailers make them a must-have for 2024.
4. Invest in Comprehensive Intrusion Alarm Systems
Break-ins and theft can disrupt operations and cause significant losses. An intrusion alarm system acts as the first line of defense against these incidents. Modern systems are equipped with advanced sensors, remote alerts, and seamless integration with other security measures.
Research shows that businesses with professionally installed alarm systems are 60% less likely to experience burglaries. At ESI, we offer customizable intrusion alarm systems designed to target vulnerabilities unique to your property.
5. Conduct Regular Security Risk Assessments
Even the most advanced security measures need routine evaluation to stay effective amid evolving threats. A comprehensive risk assessment identifies vulnerabilities, determines the effectiveness of current strategies, and offers recommendations for improvements.
Commit to conducting security risk assessments at least once a year. With over two decades of expertise, ESI offers expert guidance on identifying vulnerabilities and implementing solutions tailored to your business needs.
Conclusion
Making security a priority in 2024 is not just about protecting your assets; it’s about preparing for success. By upgrading your systems, exploring innovative solutions like mobile security trailers, and committing to routine assessments, your business will be better equipped to face whatever challenges the new year brings.
