Security executives must recognize that physical security is no longer only about preventing loss. It is about protecting continuity. When replacement costs are higher, materials are harder to source and businesses have less room to absorb avoidable setbacks, the risk equation changes to: “What would happen to the business if this asset, area or operation were unavailable tomorrow morning?”
