    Study Notes

    Physical Security

    Access Control

    • Definition: Restricting and monitoring who can enter a physical area or resource
    • Types:
      • Physical barriers (gates, fences, walls)
      • Electronic access control systems (card readers, biometric scanners)
      • Procedural access control (sign-in/sign-out, escorts)
    • Goals:
      • Prevent unauthorized access
      • Control and monitor movement
      • Enhance safety and security

    Intrusion Detection

    • Definition: Identifying and alerting on unauthorized access or attempts to breach physical security
    • Types:
      • Sensors (motion, door, window)
      • Alarms (audible, visual, silent)
      • CCTV cameras with motion detection
    • Goals:
      • Detect and respond to intrusions
      • Deter potential intruders
      • Enhance security and safety

    Secure Facilities Design

    • Definition: Designing and constructing physical spaces to prevent unauthorized access and protect assets
    • Principles:
      • Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)
      • Secure access points (entrances, exits)
      • Segregation of sensitive areas
    • Goals:
      • Prevent unauthorized access
      • Protect people, assets, and data
      • Enhance safety and security

    Surveillance Systems

    • Definition: Monitoring and recording physical areas and activities using cameras and other technologies
    • Types:
      • CCTV cameras (analog, IP)
      • IP cameras with analytics (motion detection, facial recognition)
      • Other sensors (audio, seismic)
    • Goals:
      • Deter criminal activity
      • Monitor and respond to incidents
      • Enhance security and safety

    Emergency Response Planning

    • Definition: Developing and implementing procedures to respond to security incidents and emergencies
    • Components:
      • Risk assessment and threat analysis
      • Incident response protocols
      • Training and drills
    • Goals:
      • Respond effectively to emergencies
      • Minimize damage and risk
      • Enhance safety and security

    Physical Security

    Access Control

    • Restricts and monitors who can enter a physical area or resource to prevent unauthorized access and enhance safety and security.
    • Physical barriers include gates, fences, and walls.
    • Electronic access control systems use card readers, biometric scanners, and other technologies.
    • Procedural access control involves sign-in/sign-out processes and escorts.

    Intrusion Detection

    • Identifies and alerts on unauthorized access or attempts to breach physical security to detect and respond to intrusions and deter potential intruders.
    • Sensors detect motion, door, and window activity.
    • Alarms can be audible, visual, or silent.
    • CCTV cameras are equipped with motion detection.

    Secure Facilities Design

    • Designs and constructs physical spaces to prevent unauthorized access and protect assets using Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles.
    • Secure access points include entrances and exits.
    • Sensitive areas are segregated to prevent unauthorized access.

    Surveillance Systems

    • Monitors and records physical areas and activities using cameras and other technologies to deter criminal activity and enhance security.
    • CCTV cameras can be analog or IP.
    • IP cameras with analytics can detect motion and recognize faces.
    • Other sensors include audio and seismic detectors.

    Emergency Response Planning

    • Develops and implements procedures to respond to security incidents and emergencies to minimize damage and risk.
    • Risk assessment and threat analysis identify potential vulnerabilities.
    • Incident response protocols outline procedures for responding to emergencies.
    • Training and drills prepare personnel for emergency response.
