Security, Physical 2
Security, Physical 2 : For instance, physical access controls for protected facilities are generally intended to: (a) deter potential intruders (e. g. warning signs and perimeter markings); (b) distinguish authorized from unauthorized people (e. g. using keycards/access badges); (c) delay, frustrate and ideally prevent intrusion attempts (e. g. strong walls, door locks and safes); (d) detect intrusions and monitor/record intruders (e. g. intruder alarms and CCTV systems); and (e) trigger appropriate incident responses (e. g. by security guards and police). It is up to security designers, architects and analysts to balance security controls against risks, taking into account the costs of specifying, developing, testing, implementing, using, managing, monitoring and maintaining the controls, along with broader issues such as aesthetics, human rights, health and safety, and societal norms or conventions. Physical access security measures that are appropriate for a high security prison or a military site may be inappropriate in an office, a home or a vehicle, although the principles are similar. Physical security is not uniquely human. The practice of actively defending a territory against intruders or opponents is very common in the animal kingdom. Physical security is also not a modern phenomenon. The technology is continually evolving along with the threats. Physical security controls that were considered adequate in the past tend to be insecure today due to advances in the knowledge and capabilities of attackers
