Specifically, Hayes said, “They should review the locks and access controls for all entrances and exits to their entrances.”
Hayes, currently the Vice President at ProudePost Solutions, suggested that the owners of these facilities should use a more sophisticated and sophisticated equipment to be able to find out that the artefacts and valuables are stored only with access to them.

Areas near famous buildings should also be extra careful, according to Hayes.
“If the group is organized, there may be other topics in the near term and those areas should increase external and internal security measures while permanent access control updates can be applied,” he said.
The Louvre Museum has been closed after the robbery, a French official said
The Louvre said on its website that it was temporarily closed as officials worked to identify the burglars, who may have been hired by a private collector.
The person who was looking for the thief, Larry Lawton, who says that the police are now helping the police in that investigation, told FOX News that the operation “had to be an inside job” or the thieves had to have “insider information.”

Spencer Coursen, a threat management expert and U.S. Army Deputy Marshal and Deputy Marshal, told FOX Business that it was a stress test of the plan that failed to come to fruition.
“Behind this memorial, the real story is not just the stolen tapes. It’s a sight that throws in all the museum’s capabilities, access controls and hidden weak points,” said hidden points.

For example, after royal jewels were stolen from the Green Vault museum, located at Dresden Castle in Saxony, Germany, in 2019, the museum completely overhauled its security systems, according to studies. He said that the 1990 aberkuwele museum Isabella Gardner Museum Sheyiist revealed the failure of man and people.
Meanwhile, the 2023 British Museum theft is shown to be weakening in the internal response, Coursen said.

“While today’s focus may be on threats, this incident should serve as a wake-up call and security breaches are an ongoing problem,” he said.
After Sunday’s incident, “All the houses of the Museum and the storage areas of the natural houses are conducting a full audit of its security system, which includes the security obligations of the employees, the purchase of camera cards, said the camera studies.
