TOP FIVE RESIDENTIAL SECURITY MISTAKES

Mistake #1: Relying on self-defense hubris and Hollywood-style preparations, rather than proven security techniques and data science.

Mistake #2: Planning for active response to intrusions, or preparing to record security events, without implementing passive intrusion resistance.

Mistake #3: Signaling to public viewing areas that high-value assets are accessible, versus signaling understated strength and preparedness.

Mistake #4: Daily habits and inadequate planning that expose and reveal, rather than conceal and protect, high-value targets.

Mistake #5: Ad hoc or emotionally-driven thinking rather than data-driven risk analysis and preparations.
