THE FACILITY DOCTORSCONTINUED
a couple examples and almost every facility has faced one form of cyber-attack, virus infection, malware, system interruption, and other concerns over the past couple years. The question is how to reduce such occurrences? Relying on government assistance, no matter how well intentioned, will provide little value or assistance when something goes wrong… especially with the large monetary penalties associated with data breaches and the resulting negative publicity. or “password” as their password. While frequent changes and utilizing comprehensive passwords (utilizing symbols, capital letters, numbers, letters, etc…) is important, training personnel is just as important. Though we tell employees not to open suspicious emails, many will make that mistake and that is what the bad guys are hoping for. Some larger companies actually utilize spamming campaigns using fraudulent emails to test employees. While these dummy emails will not cause harm, if they were the real thing, it could destroy a facility.
concerns, one of the most important future positions will be a technology expert at each facility to deal with problems in real time. Other technology concerns are also rearing their ugly head for facilities. One such threat is drones. The threat of drone-related issues has been of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) near or over critical U.S. infrastructure. In 2017, a person was arrested in California for dropping anti-media leaf- lets over two football stadiums. In 2018, drones were used by gangs in Mexico to drop grenades at the home of a security chief and three commercially these devices be used for an attack on a public assembly venue? These are just some of the concerns that can keep us up at night. Though, technology can provide a number of tools to make our facilities safer.
Various high-end magnetometers help discover prohibited materials before it enters a facility. Drones can be brought down with nets shot from gun- type devices (aside from birds trained to knock down drones and jammers used to block drone signals with a controller), and numerous other devices are being developed to help facility managers. The problem is that we are normally one step behind those with nefarious agendas. Therefore, constant vigilance is imperative. It is more than if you see something – say something. It is if you have something valuable protect it with everything you’ve got.
