What is a Factory Security?

Factory security refers to measures taken to protect people, equipment, information, and products in a factory from accidents and crimes. It consists of four main aspects: physical security, cybersecurity, human security, and operational management. Physical security involves surveillance cameras, access control systems, fences, and gates to prevent unauthorized entry and theft. Cybersecurity protects factory control systems (such as SCADA and IoT devices) using firewalls and access controls. Human security focuses on employee training and security measures to reduce the risk of misconduct or information leaks. Operational management includes emergency response plans and regular security audits to continuously improve safety.

Recently, AI-powered surveillance systems and biometric authentication for access control have been introduced. Ensuring factory security requires integrating these elements and managing them effectively.

Application of Factory Security

Security in the industrial market is crucial for protecting factories, logistics facilities, and workers. The key security measures include the following:

Access Control: IC cards, facial recognition, fingerprint authentication
Surveillance Cameras (CCTV): AI-powered monitoring systems
Fences & Gates: Prevent unauthorized entry
Security Guards: Patrolling factories and warehouses
✅Human Security
Employee Training: Raising awareness of security risks
Internal Fraud Prevention: Access control, activity logging, and whistleblower systems
Workplace Safety Management: Proper use of protective equipment and adherence to safety protocols
✅Environmental & Disaster Security
Fire & Gas Leak Detection: Smoke detectors and gas sensors
Explosion-proof Area Management: Proper handling of hazardous materials
Natural Disaster Preparedness: Earthquake and flood measures, BCP (Business Continuity Plan)

With the advancement of AI, IoT, and blockchain technologies, industrial market security is continuously evolving, making risk management more critical than ever.
