Security, Physical 4
Security, Physical 4 : Elements and design: There are at least four layers of physical security: (a) Environmental design; (b) Mechanical, electronic and procedural access control; (c) Intrusion detection (with appropriate response procedures); (c) Personnel Identification (authentication). There may be many choices to consider and there is no "best" solution that will satisfy a broad class of situations. (1) Deterrence: The goal of physical security is to convince potential attackers that the likely costs of attack exceeds the value of making the attack, e. g. that consequences of a failed attack may well exceed the gain. The combination of layered security features establishes the presence of territoriality. The initial layer of security for a campus, building, office, or other physical space uses crime prevention through environmental design to deter threats. Some of the most common examples are also the most basic: warning signs or window stickers, fences, vehicle barriers, vehicle height-restrictors, restricted access points, security lighting and trenches. However, even passive things like hedgerows may be sufficient in some circumstances. An electronic access control
