Why is Event Logging so important in TSCM now?
Event logging in TSCM involves the systematic recording and analysis of various events, activities, and anomalies within an area under investigation.
Many of the systems we see online today for TSCM do not have Event Logging Functionality.
Most TSCM systems sold in security & electronics retailers today, focus solely on the Live Sweep Systems.
Event Logging systems were originally standalone systems that were reserved for the most advanced TSCM providers.
The growing need for Event Logging systems has prompted many TSCM manufacturers to develop new systems to accommodate the new threat landscape.
Recently, manufacturers have began developing systems with built in event logging functionality.
A TSCM Specialist will use a range of devices for different tasks when performing a TSCM sweep.
“Combining the ability to perform Live Sweeps and Event Logging with the same device
is a gamechanger for the Counter Surveillance market and has long been overdue.”
