Cyber security has become something of a phenomenon in the past decade. Many organisations have invested millions into increasing levels of security for their information systems network. However, there are some organisations in various parts of the world, have overlooked the physical security of their hardware.

Recently Mega Fortris supported an organisation who was victims of theft, where computer towers were stolen from offices which could have confidential information stored on the hard drives. With such incidents where the organisation themselves do not know if these attacks have been carried out by outsiders or disgruntled employees, they had to take immediate action. The risk of the data falling into the wrong hands it could be a huge cost the organisation.

With such a niche application to secure, Mega Fortris suggested using our MCLZ 5mm cable seal – A high security seal with tamper evident technology.
