    Study Notes

    Introduction to Industrial Security Concepts

    • This course provides an overview of the development of the security industry, theories, concepts, and principles of security.
    • It covers security organization, management, administration, and operations of private and corporate/government security units.
    • The course also covers qualifications, training, and skills development in industrial security, technology-led security operations, crime prevention, safety, investigation techniques, crime scene preservation, and report writing.
    • The course is divided into sections covering: historical development and evolution of security, theories and concepts of security and safety, related laws in security and detective agency operations, management, and administration, security training and skills development, types of security, basic industrial security concepts (security survey, security plan, security test and evaluation, personnel checks, and security management).

    Module 1: The Concept of Security

    • Security is a fundamental human need to protect properties and persons.
    • Industrial security protects physical and digital systems from unauthorized access, cyber threats, and physical intrusions.
    • Risks in industrial environments, such as factories, power plants, and critical infrastructure, are identified and mitigated.
    • Concepts include physical security systems, cybersecurity, risk assessment, threat detection, access control, and compliance with regulations.
    • The goal is to provide students with a foundation of industrial security practices, implementation for sensitive systems, operations, and data.
    • Students will gain the knowledge needed to assess security vulnerabilities, appropriately design security protocols, and effectively respond to security incidents.
    • Learning objectives include understanding the importance of industrial security, identifying key security threats and vulnerabilities, learning physical security practices to protect industrial assets, performing a basic risk assessment to evaluate security risks, and determining appropriate mitigation strategies.

    Historical Features of Security

    • Security's history dates back thousands of years to the protection of individuals and later to tribes and cities.
    • Early civilizations, such as the Greeks and Romans, developed methods of self-protection from various threats.
    • Historical figures like Oliver Cromwell, Henry Fielding, and Sir Robert Peel are associated with the development of modern policing and security in England.
    • Concepts of crime prevention and security were introduced and expanded to include the protection of property in ancient societies.
    • The Law of Hammurabi (Babylon, 1900 B.C.) is the earliest record of laws designed to protect people and property.

    Other Topics

    • Include detailed information on the development of security in America (1600s-1900s), the roles of individuals like Allan Pinkerton, the development of detective agencies, and the emergence of modern methods and technologies for security.

    The Concept of Industrial Security

    • Industrial security has evolved over the past century due to technological advancements, globalization, and operational complexity.
    • Early industrial security focused on physical assets, worker safety, and facility protection.
    • Modern industrial security encompasses physical and cybersecurity challenges in an increasingly interconnected world.
    • Key incidents like Stuxnet, highlight the importance of robust industrial cybersecurity.

    Nature of Security

    • Briefly defines security as the state or condition of being free from fear, harm, and danger.
    • Actions by mankind (greed, avarice, and revenging) drive the need for security.

    Security Management

    • Covers the field of management relating to asset management, physical security, and human resources safety.
    • Includes policies, procedures, and guidelines for effective security.
    • The decision-making process used by executives to accomplish goals and objectives in an organization.

    Fields of Security

    • Information security (IT) is a branch applied to computer systems, both theoretical and practical.
    • Physical security measures to deter intruders from accessing facilities, equipment, and information.
    • Political security considers international and national security measures.

    Three Major Divisions of Security

    • Physical security involves physical barriers to deter or prevent unauthorized access.
    • Personnel security covers the hiring and management of security personnel to ensure safety.
    • Document and information security pertains to protecting sensitive documents and data from loss, damage, theft, unauthorized disclosure and misuse.

    Physical Security, Protective Barriers and Lighting

    • Physical measures are used for defining, protecting, and monitoring property rights.
    • Physical security barriers encompass fences, walls, and other measures to prevent access.
    • Lighting is used for improved visibility and deterrent effects.

    Protective Locks and Keys

    • Locks are physical security tools to protect assets and personnel.
    • Key control involves managing and documenting keys properly.
    • Different lock types, mechanical and electronic, offer varied levels of security.

    Package Movement Control

    • Establishing mechanisms to manage and regulate the flow of packages within an installation—preventing theft or misappropriation.
    • Registration and identification of personnel bringing packages or using vehicles.

    Building Access Control

    • Implementing systems to manage the entry of authorized personnel and restrict access to unauthorized individuals.
