Developing a Successful Security Strategy

 

On this episode of the MarketScale ProAV podcast, host Tyler Kern was joined by Diversified Director of Electronic Security Solutions Bill Aheimer.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many things across the globe’s industries and organizations have been thrust into uncertainty. However, there’s one thing businesses can always control – security.

There are several key components of any business’s security strategy, Aheimer said.

“Most security professionals and executives that have oversight over security are well aware of the fact that effective security is accomplished in layers,” he said. “The typical layers that organizations look at are entries and exits, high-value, high-asset areas where we have IT resources, such as network closets, or HR areas and the finance area.”

To accomplish a strategy that effectively works outward to inward and protects each of these layers, Aheimer said, it’s important to not fall into the trap of focusing only on the perimeter.

After all, he said, 85% of breaches – whether they be physical or cyber-related – are internal.

The duo also examined the potential for more remote offices and workforces moving forward after the world returns to “normal,” how that could impact security plans and offer a prime opportunity to rethink their strategy, the role of thorough processes in security, and more.

Annex 1 Cleaning

Annex 1 didn’t merely refine regulatory language—it fundamentally reshaped expectations around how cleanrooms are cleaned, emphasizing contamination control strategies, residue-free performance, and repeatable processes that work right the first time. As manufacturers adjust, tools and materials like advanced ultrafiber technologies are becoming essential because they support consistent first-pass cleaning without shedding or compromising sterility….

A Simple Fix For Tubing Chaos
December 22, 2025

In regulated cleanroom environments, small oversights like tubing dragging on the floor or taped makeshift supports can quietly undermine both contamination control and operator safety. As facilities push for higher throughput and stricter compliance, purpose-built solutions such as elevated tubing management systems are becoming less of a convenience and more of an operational standard. By…
