Physical Protection System

Introduction

In today's complex environment, the situation of the crime situation in the world, the concern for human security and industrial facilities are of momentous importance. The special concerns for large industrial facilities are malicious, unauthorized acts of individuals (offenders): terrorists, saboteurs, criminals and extremists. The results of their actions are not predictable from theft of property before the creation of an emergency at the facility. One of the most effective preventive measures to ensure the security of important industrial projects is the creation of an automated system for protection from unauthorized intrusion of individuals - the physical protection system. Current physical protection system has radically changed the tactics of objects. In such systems, there is no need for the organization of inspection service at the perimeter of the object; instead are on duty alarm groups that are beginning to take immediate action to neutralize the perpetrators after the alarm at a central control panel of physical protection system (Task Committee, 2009). They minimized the influence of human factors and achieve a high efficiency security facility with a minimum number of personnel of the security forces.

Principles for Creating Physical Protection System

Physical Safety - the state of protection of vital interests (subject) from threats originating from illegal (unauthorized) actions of individuals (offenders).

The concept of security - the general idea of the security object is to keep safe from the anticipated threats.

Vulnerability (object) - the degree of mismatches taken measures to protect (the object) or projected threats to the specified security requirements.

Physical Protection Systems in Post 9/11 World

After 9/11 both private corporations and government agencies struggle with the demands of maintaining a heightened level of security, issues of how information security should interact with physical security move into the spotlight. There are several reasons for this convergence between information security and physical security. One of the most important reasons is that physical security is increasingly computerized and networked elements. Physical lock and key systems replaced by smart cards that not only allow employees access to different areas in a facility, but also may keep audit trails of where employees spend their days. Following the protection and information, the pillar to get the comprehensive protection of information in any organization goes through the physical protection of premises, equipment and working papers. We can mention among others the following services:

Access control and identification tools.

Video surveillance: the images supporting the production of the organizations providing safety and quality control and labor.

Custody Document: developing projects from the reorganization documentary film of a file, through digitization and the outsourcing of custody ...
