Physical security - describes the measures that are designed to deny access to unauthorized personnel from physically accessing a building, facility, stored information and guidance on how to design structures to resist potentially hostile acts. - a system of barriers placed between a potential intruder and the material or installation to be protected. Security - the predictable state or condition which is free from harm, injury, destruction, intimidation or fear. Freedom from fear or danger or defense against crime. Physical Security System - a barrier or system of barriers placed between the potential intruder and the matter to be protected. Protective device against hazards, threats, vulnerability and risks. Purpose/Goals of Physical security
How to deter potential intruders
How to distinguish authorized from unauthorized people - access control at the
How to detect intrusion
Vigiles (in Rome) - origin of the watchmen although their principal duty was as a fire brigade. Notable security guards:
Defensible Space - the range of mechanisms that combine to bring an environment under the control of its residents. Demography - the study of the characteristics of population groups. Principles of Physical Security 1. An intruder must be able to acquire access to the property in order to benefit. 2. The type of access necessary will depend upon a number of variable factors and therefore may be achieved in a number of ways. 3. There is no impenetrable barrier. 4. Security is built upon a system of defense in depth resulting to accumulated delay time which may lead to the apprehension of the intruder. 5. Each installation is different from the others. 2 Kinds of Barriers 1. Natural 2. Artificial 5 Types of Barriers 1. Human 2. Animal 3. Natural 4. Energy/Electrical/Electronic 5. Structural 3 Line of Defense 1. Perimeter Barrier - 1st line of defense. 2. Building Exterior - 2nd line of defense. 3. Interior Controls - 3rd line of defense. Perimeter Barrier - main purpose is to deny or impede access or exit of unauthorized persons. Other Purposes 1. It defines the boundary of the property to be secured. 2. It creates a physical and psychological deterrent to unauthorized entry. 3. It delays intrusion, thus facilitating apprehension of intruders. 4. It assists in a more efficient and economical employment of guards. 5. It facilitates and improves the control of pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Components: 1. Types of Fencing (solid/full view) 2. The top guard 3. Types of Protective Alarms Systems 4. Types of Protective and Emergency Lighting's 5. CCTV Cameras and other Electronic Security Systems/Energy Barriers Building Exterior - Components: 1. walls 2. Doors 3. Windows 4. Roof Openings 5. Fire Escapes 6. Protective Alarm Systems 7. Protective and Emergency lightnings 8. CCTV Cameras and other Electronic Security Systems/Energy Barriers Interior Controls - Components: 1. ID Systems 2. Protective Alarm Systems 3. Protective Emergency Lighting's 4. Communication Systems 5. CCTV Cameras and other Electronic Security Systems/Energy Barriers 6. Restricted Areas (storage areas/utilities) 7. Access Control 8. Key Control 9. Emergency Plans 10.Guards Natural barriers or features - such as cliffs,ravines,and rivers which delay or make more difficult to entry of intruders. Barriers - any line of boundary and separation,natural or artificial,places,or serving as limitation or obstruction.Anything that bars,keep out,obstruct progress,or prevents encroachment or intrusion. Structural barriers - features constructed by man regardless of their original intent that tends to delay the intruder.ex.walls,ceilings,locks,safe,windows. Human barriers - guards,charges of quarters,office personnel,shop workers etc. who stand between the intruder and the matter to be protected. Animal barriers - usually guard dog.ex. trained German shepherds used as guards,goose,and turkeys can also be included. Energy barriers - usually electrical or electronics devices used to provide assistance to guard personnel.ex. protective lightnings,anti intrusion devices. Full view fence - it is designed primarily to prevent physical access between two areas.Constructed in such a way that visual access is permitted through the fence. Physical Security Features: 1. Natural barriers - natural terrains features must be considered from the stand point of their values to intruder as cover and concealment.Normally the first type considered very often we have to accept and work around them. 2. Fences a. solid fence - one is constructed in such a way that visual access through the fenced structure is denied. b. full view fence - constructed in such a way that usual access is permitted through the fence. Advantages of a full view fence 1. removing patrols and stationary guards are able to keep area surrounding of the installation under observation. 2. it does not create shadows which would provide cover and concealment for the intruder. Disadvantages of a full view fence 1. It allows visual access to the installation,its personnel,its guard and its activities. 2. It allows the intruders to become familiar with the movements and the time schedule of the guard patrols thereafter allowing him to pick the time for attempting penetration which would most advantageous to the intruder. Advantages of solid fence 1. Denies visual access of the installation of the intruder. 2. Denies the opportunity for the intruder to become familiar with the personnel,activities and the time schedule of the movements of guards in the installations. Disadvantages of solid fence 1. It prevents the guards from observing the area around the installation. 2. It creates shadows which may be used by the intruder for cover and concealment. Minimum acceptable requirements for fence used security barriers 1. Height - 8 feet at a minimum. 2. Slack at the bottom - not to exceed 2 inches.If the fences are not tight then it should extend even closer to the ground. 3. Wooden fence post - minimum horizontal dimension of 4X4 inches. 4.Steel fence post - the round type should at least be 2 inches at the smallest diameter. 5. Fence post - should be set in concrete or in firm soil using commercial drive anchors to a depth of 3 feet and the maximum distance post is 10 feet. 6. Fence top (Top Guard) - there should be something on the top of the fence to deter persons attempting to go over fence.ex.use of barb wire overhang.The arms holding the barbwire should be extended at 45 degree angle in the direction of the expected approach. 7. Fence area - it should be declared trees and vegetation and debris of other materials which would offer concealment of the intruder or would aid him in scaling the fence. 8. Fence Gates - gates should be limited to the no. necessary for efficient and sage operation of the installation. 9. Fence Opening - all opening in the fence in excess of 96 inches must be locked barbed or screen in such a way that they may be interlocked and opened from the inside and only by selected personnel. 10.Multiple fence - is used should at least be 10 feet apart and the overhang on the top of the inner fence should point inward. 4 Basic functions that must be accomplished by the guard system 1. Detect intruders 2. Sound alarms 3. Apprehend unauthorized personnel 4. Identify authorized personnel Personnel Control Identification 2 Types of identification 1. Personal Recognition - is the most effective 2. Artificial Identification - badges,passes etc. System of Employment of Personnel Control Identification 1. Pass system - a method used by security to screen visitors or person admitted into building premises. 2. Single pass or Badge system - the least expensive and the least secure. 3. Group pass and Badge system - one ID for one group. 4. Multiple pass system - separate pass is required for access to various areas in need ex.color coding 5. Spot magnetized identification passes - a code may be placed in the device and when passes through a machine,the code on the device is read,if it contains wrong code or no code at all,it will alarm. 6. Access list - it contains the names of authorized persons or personnel and is checked against identification cards such as drivers licenses,draft registration etc. Visitor control - the measures used would depend on the sensibility of the installation but could include the following: 1. Escort - expensive but most secure 2. Time traveled - if there is a long delay or time lapse between the departure and arrival,the visitor may be required to show cause for the delay. 3. Visitors logs - should contain identifying data, reasons of visit,time in and hour etc. 4. Visitors entrances - separate access for visitors and separate for employees . Utility and maintenance personnel - escort system could be used.If these people visit the installations on a regular basis some of the systems previously could be used. Package control - there should be provisions made to check packages being taken in and taken out. Photography - extreme caution must be exercised in areas where classified information is displayed to preclude unauthorized taking of pictures of the installation. Vehicular control and identification * Most common identification is for registering at the headquarters or gates and putting of sticker on the windows of the vehicles. * For visitors,the following systems are used: 1. Escort 2. Driver pool - the most secure but the most expensive.In this system,car is driven by qualified driver employed by the installation from the entrance to its destination and after the conclusion of the business of the visitor.car is driven back to the installations entrance. 3. Time travel - used in less sensitive installations 4. Grid system - a very complicated system.The installation is divided into grid ad squares like a map.Each square is given a no. or letter designation.The visitor is then given a map and shown the route to take to his destination and should not deviate from the prescribed route, otherwise he could be stopped and questioned by the guards. 5. Search of vehicles - sign should be put at the entrance to the installation that any vehicle entering is subject to search anytime. Types of Protective Alarm Systems 1. Central station system - the control station is located outside the installations.When the alarm is sounded by a subscriber, the central station notifies the police or protection agency. 2. Property system - the control system is located inside the installations with its own firefighter,law enforcer,ambulance,or bomb disposal unit. 3. Local alarm - the signalling is near the alarm itself. When the intruder enters the installation,the alarm goes off scaring the intruder.Purpose is just to scare not to apprehend intruder. 4. Auxiliary alarm - the installation owned the protective alarm with a unit in the nearest police station so that in case of need,direct call is possible. Kinds of Alarms 1. Intrusion alarm - any detecting devices using electric and their combinations to signal an alarm when actuated. 2. Laser beam alarm - a laser emitter floods the wall or fence with a beam so that when this beam is disturbed by a physical object,an alarm is activated 3. Photocell alarm - an invisible or visible beam is emitted and when disturbed,it activates an alarm or mechanical device that opens a door or lift movable barriers,activated by light. Basic component of an alarm system 1. Annunciation - the heart of the system of the detecting device and is the component that activates the triggering unit. 2. Transmission - it transmit what is detected. 3. Triggering device - the one which emits those aural or visual signals or both. Security Survey - The detailed check and audit of what an installation or plant does not have in relation to its protection from hazards. Security Inspection - a process where physical examination is conducted to determine compliance with established security policies and procedures as a result of security survey. Purpose of security survey 1. To determine existing state or condition of security 2. To locate weaknesses and possible defense 3. To determine degree of protection required Security hazards - an act or condition which result in a situation conductive to a breach of the protection system and the subsequent loss or compromise of defense,information,company secrets,or damage to property,personnel,or facilities. Hazards - exposure to loss or injury. Two General Categories of Security Hazards 1. Human hazard - caused by human action.Ex.sabotage,pilferage,theft 2. Natural Hazard - caused by natural phenomena. Types of Human Hazards 1. Human carelessness 2. Accident 3. Disaffection 4. Disloyalty 5. Subversion 6. Sabotage 7. Espionage 8. Pilferage 9. Theft 10.Vandalism Protective Security - measures taken by an installation or unit to protect against sabotage,espionage or subversion and at the same time provide freedom of action in order to provide the installation or unit with the necessary flexibility to accomplish its mission. 3 Aspects of Security 1. Physical Security - measures taken to prevent physical access or entry to an installation. 2. Personnel Security - measures taken to insure that only authorized personnel have access to classified documents or information. 3. Document and Information Security Types of Security 1. Physical Security - the most broad. 2. Industrial Security - security of business installations and industrial plants. 3. VIP Security - protection of high level officers and important personnel. 4. Bank Security - security of money and assets stored or in transit. 5. Hotel Security - security for hotel guest and their personal belongings and property as well as properties of the hotel. 6. Document security - protection of vital records from loss or unauthorized access. 7. Communication Security - measures to prevent or delay the unauthorized person in gaining information through communication. Physical Security * Protective barrier - is the physical type of security. * Barrier - any structure or physical device capable of restricting,deterring,delaying illegal access into installations. * Perimeter barrier - a medium or structures which define the physical limits of an installation or area to restrict or impede access thereto.Any physical barrier used to supplement the protection of the inside perimeter. * Inside Perimeter - a line of protection adjacent to the protected area and passing through points of possible entry into the area.ex. doors and windows * Outside perimeter - a line of protection but some what removed from the protected area.ex.fence Types of Perimeter Barrier Opening 1. Gates and Doors 2. Elevators 3. Air intakes,Exhaust tunnels 4. Clear Zone 5. Top Guard 6. Guard Control Stations 7. Tower 8. Barrier maintenance 9.
