What's your security IQ?

Thinking about additional security for your facilities or home? That's great, because it means you are aware of the need for security, and that you probably realize security means more than locks and alarms.

In fact, the most important aspect of security is awareness.

What is security awareness? Our definition is multi-faceted, and includes:

• the ability to identify known and unknown threats;
• being aware of the technologies, products and services that can defuse those threats;
• knowing how to operate the products and systems you have;
• and, most important, the awareness that those systems must be used, and must be used all of the time.

That security awareness may be more important to the security of your home and business than any of the security hardware or systems you install. Why? No lock or security system will do you any good unless you use it and use it properly.

Threats to your premises will not go away. In fact, criminals can be pretty smart, too. And that means you need to have a Security IQ greater than theirs.

Security awareness also means understanding that no security system is foolproof. But with a high Security IQ and use of the right products and practices, you thwart the criminal element -- or at least discourage them from threatening your loved ones and your property.
