Digital displays use technologies such as LCD, LED, projection or e-paper to display digital images, videos or webpages.  They can also be used to show weather data, and even restaurant menus.  They are found in many places for all kinds of businesses, providing wayfinding and other important information.  They are most known for marketing and outdoor advertising.

• Public spaces
• Museums
• Transportation systems
• Hotels
• Stores
• Stadiums
• Retail Locations
• Exhibitions
• Corporate buildings

Screens are everywhere.  Throughout our daily lives, people today are caught up with everything digital.  In-store digital signage is not just for the big corporations.  Technology has made hardware more affordable than ever and the implementation is easy and maintainable.  No matter your industry, digital displays get your message across to the right people while creating a long-lasting impression.

• Grab attention – Delivers an eye-catching, relevant message to those inside your office or store. Important information will get noticed.
• Easy to update – Easily manipulate your content to allow for greater flexibility in updating content throughout a campaign, without starting over.
• Stay connected – Connect your advertisements to the Internet. Integrate features like news, weather and sports into your business.  You could even connect your digital signage to your social media channels.
• Amplify your message – With video advertising, your digital signage allows you to get more of your message across in less time. Plus, people LOVE videos.

Digital Signage for Security

When was the last time you reviewed your building’s emergency exits or fire plan map?  Do you know where it’s posted?  Do your employees?

When disaster strikes, your business needs a plan of action.  Digital signage helps your facility be prepared because of its ability to integrate with emergency responders while providing communication around your building.  Businesses and organizations who take full advantage of digital signage for security increase the likelihood of reaching their target audience with critical information.

For safety and security-related communication in a business environment, messages must not merely be sent, they must also be received.  Most of the time, these messages need to be communicated quickly.

In many industrial industries, like oil, gas, chemical and manufacturing, the risk of defective safety and security is very high.  Beyond manufacturing companies, any business in any industry can potentially be exposed to theft and other crime, along with weather-related risks.  No matter the setting, the need for timely safety and security information is vital.

Digital Alerts

People today stay safe by receiving notifications and alerts from their personal connected devices in specific locations.  Analog alert systems still have their place with alarms and emergency lights, but when integrated with a modern digital system, their full potential is reached. Digital alert systems can provide real-time emergency information to those who need it most.  Security and safety frameworks rely on all shapes and sizes of digital signage.

• Information broadcasting – In the chaos of an emergency, it is imperative to provide clear modes of communication and simple directions to prevent a panic. This information is easily updated and shared via digital signage.
• Visual safety cues – Alarms and messages are ineffective if someone cannot hear or understand them. Easy to read and dramatic digital displays help spread the message in a way everyone will understand.

Remote Content Control

Cloud-based digital signage allows an manager to publish important security updates from any device connected to the internet.  Connect to your business social media profile to push important updates out to those who need to see them.

Stay Prepared

Digital signage networks are a valuable tool before a crisis even begins.  It is critical your company establishes a clear chain of command for relaying safety information and directions to a group of people.  Regularly displaying photos and profiles of security officials and other emergency contacts will help people recognize who to trust in a bad situation.

A digital signage communication plan for safety works best when it delivers contextual, visual information based on live events and current information.

A lot of meticulous strategical planning, organization writing go into a good commercial security system.  The first step to developing a plan is to identify potential threats to your business.  Do you have physical assets within a facility that might influence theft?  Or do you have valuable information stored within a cloud online?  Organizations and businesses should take the time to consider all of the possible scenarios that may impact it.

Common data threats in business

Disgruntled Employees – Internal attacks are one of the largest threats facing businesses.  Your data systems can become vulnerable if the right person decides to cause a problem.  Staff with access to networks, data centers and admin accounts can cause serious damage.

Uninformed or Careless Employees

Imagine the damage that’s possible if an employee accidently leaves an open phone on the bus?  Sensitive information is easily exposed and could be manipulated by someone with sinister intent.  Employees may also not be completely trained in security best practices for things like passwords, visiting unauthorized websites and/or clicking on suspicious e-mails or opening unknown attachments.  These types of risks can severely damage your business.

Mobile Devices

Data theft – Data is at high vulnerability when employees are using mobile devices [particularly their own] to share data, access company information, or neglect to change mobile passwords.

Unpatched or Devices that cannot be patched

These are network devices, such as routers, [servers] and printers that employ software or firmware in their operation, yet either a patch for a vulnerability in them was not yet created or sent, or their hardware was not designed to enable them to be updated following the discovery of vulnerabilities.

No computer or workstation is immune to compromise. Information and network assets are of important value and protecting them is the responsibility of everyone handling these them. Every department is expected to develop a security plan.  The cohesion between these plans will result in the ultimate security of your business.

Third-Party Vendors

As technology becomes more specialized and complex, companies are relying more on outsourcers and vendors to support and maintain system.  these third-parties typically use remote access tools to connect to the company’s network, but don’t always follow security best practices.  Many of the high profile and very expensive breaches in the past year for large businesses have been attributed to the contractor’s login credentials were stolen.

Physical  Security

Every business or organization needs a security plan because of risk factors.  Even small businesses with a modest facility can benefit from a few simple security measures.

• Businesses (small, medium, large)
• Office Buildings & Office Parks
• Shopping Centers & Malls
• Schools & Dormitories
• Apartment Complexes
• Churches & Other Places of Worship
• Retail Stores
• Restaurants
• Convenience Stores
• Banks
• Industrial Facilities
• Warehouses
• Factories
• Power Plants
• Government Buildings
• Public Parks & Gardens
• Wedding Venues
• Banquet Halls
• Amusement Parks & Other Entertainment Facilities

Multi Zone Alarm Systems

Alarm zones are how a security system manages and controls sensors. The sensors are assigned to specific zones. When a sensor is triggered, the system informs an administrator which zone has detected a thread so immediate action can be taken.  Sensors detect unauthorized entry or movement in an area, or in the case of environmental sensors, when there has been a change in an environmental factor – e.g, a smoke detector.  A zone normally corresponds to a sensor or sensors in a particular area of your business where risks are typically higher – e.g. entry area, hallways or front door etc.

Many zones can be monitored by a conveniently located control panel.  The control panel is the “brains” of a system.  This gives your security team more flexibility but planning, installation and setup of your security system takes dedication and time.  Paxica Security Group is vastly experienced in handing this process for your business.  Understanding how your security system utilizes strategic zoning to ensure the best possible coverage is a complicated and time-consuming process.  It can save valuable business time and money to hire an expert group to manage the details.

Integrated Multi Zone System

From boosting productivity, to conflict resolution, installing a custom multi zone system that seamlessly works together, will benefit your business in many ways.

An integrated multi zone security system takes many-sided security systems and integrates them into one solution. For example, a business can have the following security systems:

• Video Surveillance
• Access Control
• Intrusion Alarm
• P.A System
• Uniformed Guard Service

Benefits

• Productivity – Assigning a specific zone for a specific person will allow the team member to utilize their skills, specifically in that area, ultimately ensuring the management team that the tasks assigned to that specific person will make a grand shift in the company’s efficiency.
• Centralization – An integrated multi zone system will allow your business security operations to become centralized. Management crews and business owners can now get a full report from one area rather than needing to speak to all areas of their security system individually.
• Theft deterrence – According to the Kroll Annual Global Theft Report, theft remains largely an inside job. Their figures show 60% of scams are committed by insiders. Ways to prevent these types of scenarios is to integrate a specifically catered multi zone security system for your business.
• Monitor your business in real-time – With multiple zoned security systems, business administration teams are able to see what is going on inside their facilities and areas of work instantaneously. However, business owners and management teams don’t always spend all their time on the premises and can’t always ensure themselves that everything is running smoothly. With real-time monitoring, it is simple to check in on individual zone cameras and audio with a click of a button on your phone, tablet or computer.
• Save on business costs – having a multi zone security system will allow your business to save money and be protected. Otherwise, theft, burglary or robbery may become a larger risk. With these systems, businesses have multiple outlets to look into and see what occurred, why it occurred or the possibility of events not taking place at all.

What is Security Automation?

It is getting more and more difficult to find aspects of your business that can’t be automated.  We have already begun automating our homes, vehicles and even our companions.  It is also the era of the hacker.  Hacker sophistication has come a very long way in a very short period.  It is more important than ever to be sure your organization or business is sufficiently fortified against cyberthreats and other digital vulnerabilities.

This is where automation comes into play.   Even for the most skilled security team, speed is not always easy to achieve.  There are many aspects of cybersecurity that can be slow-moving, like transferring information between platform tools, for example.  These tedious tasks can be time consuming and can take away time better spent elsewhere for your security team.  Instead of spending time detecting security threats and arranging response efforts, your team is busy copying/pasting information back and forth.  Automation eliminates those types of tasks.

• Security Automation – Automatic handling of a task in a machine-based security application that would otherwise be done manually by a cybersecurity professional.
• Security Orchestration – This is the linking and mixing of various security applications and processes together.

Why Security Automation and Orchestration?

• Automates simple tasks
• Prioritizes critical events
• Free-up time to proactively seek out threats
• Streamline Security Team, Tools and Processes

Full-Circle Automation System

By combining security automation and orchestration along with threat intelligence, you will be able to determine how processes should be handled and when.  Threat intelligence allows the process to automatically adjust itself allowing you to make even more critical decisions, faster.

Threat Intelligence Platforms

These intelligence-driven platforms are essential to your overall cybersecurity.  These are centralized locations where internal and external threat data can be analyzed and turned into action.  Once this data is received and examined, your team will be able to make fully-informed decisions on how to respond to threats while mitigating risk.

• Optimize operations
• Increase speed and efficiency
• Delivers validation of threats

Reduce Human Error

Done manually, many security tasks are prone to human error.  We are great analysts and critical thinkers, but when processing large volumes of data and making quick, accurate decisions, that’s where many businesses run into trouble.

What risks could automation eliminate?

Provider Vulnerabilities

Breaches in security are very common.  Most companies that suffer these breaches don’t even know they have happened.  Your business must be very careful in selecting a third-party automation platform, because their vulnerabilities become yours.

Integration Gaps

For your automation system to integrate with your other business systems, many API’s could be needed.  Each API poses a potential vulnerability.

Lack of Oversight

Over time, your security team may develop a sense of complacency when automated systems have been handling the bulk of their original responsibilities.  They may begin to rely too heavily on the system and lose alertness to potential threats in a quick and efficient manner.

Automation Systems only work if strategically combined with active human cooperation.

What else do automation systems do?

• Policy Execution – Networks are more complex than ever. Manually managing related security policies has become nearly impossible.  There are many options out there for policy implementation automation. Managing network security policies automatically helps your business more easily meet internal or governing security requirements.
• Alert Monitoring and Prioritization – Save your security team from performing time-consuming, tedious tasks. This type of systems does not rely on rules, thresholds or known threats.  Instead, this type of technology can learn what normal system behavior looks like, making it easy to immediately pinpoint the potential threat while investigating to determine priority.
• Incident Response Planning – This technology automates workflow, so companies can make sure they are communicating with the fitting internal and external contacts when each second counts. This automation keeps track of all the steps taken to resolve a threat situation, creating an ongoing audit that will help automate future tasks.

It is very important to prioritize the automation of your IT security structure.  Recognize that multiple elements can be automated to help keep your business as safe as possible from cybersecurity threats.  Automating policy execution, alert monitoring and prioritization along with incident response planning can drastically increase your company’s efficiency while dropping costs.  Is Security Automation right for your business?

No one can foresee a fire occurring in your business, and that’s why it’s so important to be prepared. In addition to an evacuation plan, fire alarms and fire monitoring systems are a must for any business facility.

• Save lives
• Reduce property loss
• Quick response time
• Reduce fire recovery time

No matter how big or small your business is, the reality is always that your building needs fire alarm system protection.  There are many fire codes for businesses which are locally enforced.  Going through all the laws can be time consuming.  Spend your valuable time focusing on your business and hire experts like Paxica Security Group to recommend the best alarm systems and plans to cover all the city fire codes that exist in your area.

Life Safety

The biggest reason to have integrated fire alarms is overall life safety.  A good fire alarm saves lives.  Period.  Obviously, the faster people within a building are notified of a fire, the faster they can evacuate before becoming trapped or faced with a desperate situation.  Did you know there are fire alarms that will even tell you exactly where a fire has been located within the facility.

• Increases evacuation time
• Emergency help is notified and immediately dispatched
• Fire department can help to exit safely

Evacuation time is decreased significantly with a commercial fire alarm system.  They make it easier for occupants to exit with flashing lights and exit signs.  These easy to see additions to your system are imperative to a safe and quick exit strategy.  Exit signs can even be seen in the dark in the event of a power outage.  Sprinkler systems are also excellent for a quick response which will reduce recovery time.

New to Fire Alarms?

There is no room for error when it comes to fire protection.  This starts at the very beginning; with the detection of the fire.  Your systems reliability and dependability is crucial.

Types of Fire Detection Systems

• Photoelectric Fire Alarms – Responds bests to slow, smoldering fires utilizing LED light
• Ionization Fire Alarms – Fast response to flames utilizing electric currents to detect smoke particles.

Your Control Panel

A centralized dashboard allows you to have continuous access to the system’s status.  It enables you to command and control large campuses and buildings.  Your system admins can remotely monitor the system via any device connected to a cell network or WiFi connection.  Notifications of activity are received instantaneously and can be handled as quickly as possible.

The control panel allows you to make any and all adjustments needed to the smoke alarm devices.  The sensitivity of the alarms can be changed remotely, for example.  Other devices can easily be enabled and disabled in this way too.

Control Your Data

Through your customized user portal, you will be able to access all detailed history of your alarm system.  Keep track of any previous adjustments to the system and see a history of alarm activity at any time.  This information can be helpful to see which detectors need sensitivity adjustments to minimize phantom alarms over the entire network.

Fire Alarm Monitoring

Fire alarm systems serve to main purposes: alarming occupants there is a fire present and contacting the fire department.  However, there are some facilities who require fire alarm monitoring.  These types of systems take advantage of the fire alarm’s ability to detect a fire situation.  The problem becomes known to the fire department who can solve the specific problem most efficiently.  With these systems, authorities are automatically notified and dispatched without anyone needing to dial 9-1-1.

Fire Alarm Monitoring is NOT required in every facility, but it’s an important addition to your alarm system to not only notify occupants but reduce fire department reaction time.  Saving lives and property is the result of utilizing an efficient and state of the art monitoring systems for your business.

Proactively Protect your Business

A building can be destroyed completely within minutes if a fire is not quickly and efficiently distinguished.  Your business may suffer tremendous damage from a fire, costing you thousands or even millions in repairs.  Avoid costly fines and a temporary shutdown of your business by investing in a high-quality system.  Paxica Security Group is the gold standard of fire alarm system protection.  Providing your business with the best alarm and detection system is our top priority.

Business Fire Prevention Plan

• Fire Exits
• Portable Fire Extinguishers
• Emergency Evacuation Plan
• Know Regulations
• Fire Suppression System (sprinklers)

Prevention methods should be customized to your industry and facility. 

Fire Safety Laws

Know your fire safety laws.  If laws are ignored, and someone is injured or killed in a workplace fire, you may be held reliable.  This is an enormous risk that is not worth taking.  It’s important to take the time to familiarize yourself with important codes and trusting companies like Paxica Security to take the reins.  As experts in the field, we guarantee to effectively cover all the bases when it comes to your fire protection.

An access control system is the selective restriction of access to a place or other resource.  Authorizations are put into place to give permission to those resources. This can be consuming, entering or using a resource.  Locks and login credentials are to of the most common types of access control systems.

Physical Security

Access control restricts entrance to a property, a building, or a specific room for authorized personnel only.  Entrance into your business facility can be monitored in many ways:

• Border Guard
• Bouncer
• Ticket checkers
• Turnstile or fence
• Maintrap

Turnstiles

Many large venues like sporting arenas commonly use a combination of security strategies like ticket checkers along with turnstiles.  Turnstiles are also known as baffle gates. It is a form of gate which allows only one person to pass through at a time. They are also utilized to enforce the one-way traffic of people.  Sometimes turnstiles only allow passage with the use of a ticket, coin or ID badge.

• Stadiums
• Amusement Parks
• Mass Transit Stations
• Office Lobbies
• Airports
• Ski Resorts
• Factories and Power Plants
• Casinos

Maintraps

A maintrap is also referred to as an air lock system, sally port or access control vestibule.  They are a physical security access control system comprising of a small space between two sets of interlocking doors.   One set of doors must close fully before the second set will open.

If your business is utilizing a manual maintrap, a security guard is needed to lock and unlock the two sets of doors.  In most cases an intercom or video camera is used for the guard to operate the mantrap from a remote location.

For an automatic maintrap, identification is often required to open each door.  Depending on the security level, there may be other measures needed to gain entry such as fingerprint or retina scanning.

Metal Detectors are often built into an entrance system.  This is obviously great for reducing the risk of people entering with weapons.  Banks and jewelry stores are perfect candidates for metal detectors.

Components of an Access Control System

• Physical Barrie/Access Point (door with lock)
• Reader or Keypad
• Control Panel to verify identification
• Request to Exit Button (REX)

Technology

Access decisions are made by comparing the credential to an access control list of verified personnel.  This can also be done through a reader.

Types of Readers

• Basic (non-intelligent) readers simply read card numbers of PIN numbers which are forwarded to a control panel.
• Semi-intelligent readers do not make any access decisions.  They consist of all the necessary functions to control the access point hardware (the door, the lock, and exit button) This reader will read a PIN or badge number and automatically lock or unlock the access door.
• Intelligent Readers can control all aspects of the access door’s hardware while having the ability to make access decisions independently.  

Access Point Security Risks

Tailgating

The biggest risk with these types of security points is “tailgating”.  Tailgating is when one person simply follows another closely through the access gate or door into a restricted area.  This risk is minimized through security awareness and training. At highly populated access points, maintraps and turnstiles are the best deterrents of tailgating.  

Door Levering

Levering a door open is another common security risk with physical access points.  This is more difficult to do on properly secured doors which are usually much more heavy with magnetized locking systems.  Fully equipped access control systems will have a door alarm which will sound when the door is left open for a certain period of time.  Most up to date systems will have a door prop alarm to inform system administrators about the open door. This minimizes false alarms and poor database configuration.

Access Card Tampering

Access cards themselves have proven vulnerable over the years.  Many sophisticated hackers have been known to build portable readers to capture proximity card information.  All the hacker would need to do is walk closely to the cardholder to obtain their valuable information on their reader.  To counter this risk, many times businesses will require a two part authentication. The member of personnel must swipe their card AND enter a PIN or give a fingerprint.  

Throughout the years, digital surveillance systems have become increasingly more essential to commercial security.  The ability to use a digital system to monitor, track, and store data about your facility digitally.  This can be vital to protecting your company’s physical security, hardware, as well as your fixed assets.  These systems have a multitude of benefits.

• Reduce crime in your area with visible cameras
• Eliminate unauthorized intruders
• Monitor hallways
• Visitor monitoring

Why Digital?

Digital systems enable a captured superior-quality image to be compressed, stored or transmitted over communication networks or digital data links.  Digital video systems provide many benefits and advanced functionalities that cannot be achieved with analog video surveillance alone.  Some of these advantages include: higher quality images, remote access, intelligent video capabilities, easy installation and integration.  With digital, there is also more flexibility and cost-effectiveness overall.

User Flexibility

What is great about a digital video network is its ability to adapt and grow with the user’s needs.  The system can be managed and changed as a business grow and shifts.  Instead of having to install all your cameras at once, like with analog, a digital system allows for you to increase your camera count as you need.  Adding a new camera to your network is extremely easy.

Network video products can be placed and integrated from any location, and the system can be as closed or open as needed.  The captured videos can be stored on multiple servers to increase the reliability of business record keeping and security of file sharing.

Simple Installation

Digital commercial surveillance systems are easier to install than analog systems.  (They are also easier to use.)  They require less specialized equipment, only requiring the strategized placement of digital cameras throughout your business facility.  A computer or smart phone connected to a network and cloud storage space on a large hard drive are the other recommended hardware for a complete digital video surveillance plan.  It is also nice to not worry about hardwiring everything for your video system.  Simple. Easy. Efficient.

Monitoring your surveillance is made simple with digital surveillance.  Monitor your facility anytime, anywhere around the world.  This is a perfect solution if your business has multiple locations to protect.  Your security can be seen on any smart device if you must be away from the business for long periods of time.

Reduce human error and save time.

In the past, businesses would utilize human monitoring to catch events in real-time and to review past video.  When monitoring, security personnel would sit and watch a bank of monitors looking for developing security situations.  This took up a lot of time and was reliant on on human dependability.  Fatigue from staring at monitors or looking at the wrong monitor at the wrong time could easily result in something missed.  The development of smart video monitoring software now saves businesses valuable time and money while increasing surveillance reliability.

Digital video monitoring software monitors all the video feeds at once, using analytics to detect potential threats before they occur.  Some of these analytics include facial recognition, loitering, line crossing, objects being moved or taken and more.  The system will then sound an alarm so your security staff can respond accordingly.

As technology continues to advance, the cost of digital surveillance systems continues to drop.  There has never been a better time to invest in, or upgrade to, a new system that will ensure safety and security, while increasing efficiency and accuracy.  At Paxica Security Group, we see a lot of success with pairing businesses with the perfect options for their specific industry and unique facility.

Without a solid network design in place, your business is as risk for many problems.  Without proper communication with customers or access to inventory, client records and order functions, your clients will become unsatisfied and frustrations will arise among your employees.

What is Network Infrastructure?

Network infrastructure is the hardware and software that enable network connectivity, communication, operations and management within a business.  It provides a connection between users, processes, applications, services and external networks.  At Paxica Security Group, we are experts in strategizing and implementing all aspects of your network infrastructure plan.

Network infrastructure is a category of information technology that is used to provide network services that allow devices to interconnect and communicate with each other.  Network infrastructure is critical to the success of your overall IT network plan.  A well-planned network infrastructure of a company includes all of the components that enable your IT department to function.  Some of the components include hardware such as servers, computers, switches, hubs, data centers and routers.  Other aspects include software applications like customer management systems, enterprise resource planning, productivity and data management applications.

IT Network Infrastructure

IT is one of the most important and intrinsic features of today’s business.  Organizations in virtually every industry around the world are very aware of the central roles that IT and networking play now, and in the near future.  Whether your organization processes a huge amount of data per day or uses network connectivity for the bare minimum, having a good network management system keeps you one step ahead and moving fast.

Examples of IT Network Components

• Routers – Routers connect devices and networks together by forwarding traffic. This is how traffic gets from one place to another on a network like the Internet.
• Switches – A local area network can be created with the use of switches. Traffic is forwarded and connected to a centralized location through the Internet.
• Ethernet – Ethernet is defined as a system for connecting multiple computer systems to form a local area network, with protocols to control the passing of information and to avoid simultaneous transmission by two or more systems.
• Wireless Access Points – This is a networking hardware device that allows a WI-FI device to connect to a wired network. It is usually connected to a router as a standalone device or it can be an integral part of the router itself.
• Fiber Optics – These high capacity cables are used to create large networks including Internet backbones, global area networks, wide area networks, metropolitan area networks and campus wide networks.

The Importance of Network Design

The design of your network infrastructure is more than just hooking up the wires and cables for your business network.  It involves custom tailoring of the network protocols and software for your unique computer and employee needs.  Outdated network designs can cause your business to fall behind in efficiency and productivity.  Since almost all your business operations rely on the functioning of your network, an unreliable network can severely affect everything you do – maybe even to the point of being non-operable.  Without a strong network infrastructure, access to business data may be delayed or lost.  Imagine your Internet going down.  For many businesses, this would cause a full-stop of operations.

Planning your Network Infrastructure

When correctly planned, a network infrastructure will support its applications and be productive.  The first step is a detailed assessment of the network’s current state.  It is important to look at all aspects including the logical, physical and security perspectives.  Identify the strengths and weaknesses and take time to compare the current state of your network to industry standards.  Many find that most of the problems and inefficiencies come from a poorly designed planned.

What Paxica Can do for You

• We will partner with your business to understand your infrastructure requirements and the existing capabilities to ensure a solution that fits your specific needs.
• Create a solution that is easily scalable and has the capacity to meet your organizations future plans for growth.
• Provide a detailed infrastructure design plan and implementation

Network Cabling and Wiring Solutions

One of the major aspects of your network infrastructure is structured cabling.  Put simply, structured cabling is a configuration of cables and hardware that interconnect various parts of your business communications.  If this aspect of your system is not correctly installed, it can lead to long downtimes, as your IT team works to identify the issue.  Point to point cabling can even cause dangerous overheating and unorganized wires can make it much more difficult to track mistakes and rectify them.  Cabling systems are easily complicated and its important to trust experts like those at Paxica Security Group to plan and execute a network cabling system.

With an expert network infrastructure design from Paxica Security Group, you will have an easy to use, easy to improve, versatile network solution. Do not fall behind on efficiency because your network is clumsy or dated.  Call Paxica Security Group to find out how your current business operations are working at their fullest potential with a smart and high-functioning network plan.
