Protecting People, Assets and Critical Infrastructure
What is Physical Security?
Unlike electronic security, which is concerned with the safety, integrity, and confidentially of electronic information, physical security concentrates on measures that must be taken to prevent theft, sabotage, vandalism, as well as environmental issues such as temperature, fluid, or airflow, and to provide a means of collecting, monitoring, alerting, and viewing issues that arise.
Physical security is more than locks. Locks are great as a deterrent, but they offer no real insight into the state of your physical security. Who really used the key, card swipe, or proximity sensor to access your building - the rightful owner or someone else? How many other people came into the area when the door was opened? Traditional means cannot answer these questions - that's why you need a physical security solution from DigitalPlus Consulting.
Why do I need Physical Security?
How important are your physical assets? What would happen if they were stolen or compromised? As today's trend toward denser clusters of computers continues, the need to monitor environmental items such as airflow and temperature becomes critical.
Many companies have invested heavily in electronic security through the purchase of firewalls, intrusion detection systems, URL filters, etc. While these are essential devices, they represent only half the threat. Gaining physical access to your equipment, or having the ability to steal or sabotage your equipment, eliminates the benefits of all the electronic protection you've invested in.
Aims
Physical security is an integral part of business security and it is aimed at detection, prevention and suppression of the following activities:
- Unauthorized penetration into the objects under guard including premises and territory;
- Stay of unauthorized persons at the objects under guard;
- Illegal seizure of property at the objects under guard by theft, robbery, holdup or fraud;
- Illegal usage of property at the objects under guard without proper authorities;
- Infliction of damages by way of deliberate destruction or damage of property or unlawful encroachment on personnel safety and immunity.
