ANALYSIS OF THE PHYSICAL SECURITY FIELD The physical security field can be broken down into two very general but separate areas: types of security and security components. The Types of Security outlines different areas or sectors where why and how security is conducted differ. Security components break down Physical Security even further, speaking to the more intricate areas of any Security type or team.

Security in any company is vital for it to success. Whether that is physical or technical security, each plays a part in ensuring important data is in the wrong hands. Key physical security may also be needed when dealing with critical physical environment issues. These measures can help prepare a company looking to protect their computing facilities from natural and man-made events. Whitman (2015) describes physical security as the protection of physical items, objects, or areas from unauthorized
effective physical security program you need to know what you are protecting and why you are protecting it. Physical Security encompasses the protection of people, places, things, and data.

The human factor of physical security consists of the people who own the property being protected, the people who work at the property or those that visit the property/protected area, and the security personnel guarding the property. As such the human factor of physical security is the most critical component; however it is also the most neglected aspect of most physical security programs. Physical security cannot be wholly successful without the human factor element and the active support of these
outside sources. In this paper, we will explore how physical security plays a role in forensics investigations activities. We will start by examining how physical and environmental security might impact the forensics investigation process. Next, we will discuss the role that physical and logical security zones play in supporting effective forensics activities. We will illustrate how centralized and decentralized physical and environmental security affects the forensics professional’s approach toward
PHYSICAL SECURITY AND DATABASE DISASTER RECOVERY Physical security is the insurance of staff, equipments, projects, systems, and information from physical circumstances and occasions that could result in serious losses or harm to a company, institute, or industry. This incorporates security from fire, characteristic fiascos, vandalism, robbery, burglary, and terrorism. Physical security is frequently neglected by considering more specialized and sensational issues, for example, hacking, virus, Trojans
Introduction The following chapter will provide the introduction to the topic i.e. Bank Security and the problems associated with it. This chapter will also introduce with the Dissertation work i.e. “3 Tier Bank Security System”, which comprises project objectives, scope and organization of project report. 1.1 Project Background For a common human being the bank means a place which represents a top level of security. On a daily basis we are involved in banking transaction. To secure our expensive jewellery

Information systems function, policies and procedures, staff competence also need to be reviewed for efficiency. • A review of the datacentre infrastructure and physical environmental controls. A review of the information processing facility should include the adequacy of air conditioning, power supply and fire suppression systems. • Audit of application software (Application software is the software that processes
restriction of access to a building or area and it can be achieved by different means of physical security. Magnetic access control card system is one of the many ways of restricting access to a building or area. According to Oke et al. (2009), magnetic access control systems are used to control entry to a room or building and were developed to reduce prodigious amount of theft and fraud. Magnetic access control card security systems use smart cards which are small plastic cards made out of Polyvinyl Chloride
(SMEs) can benefit from implementing control objectives for governance, compliance, and improved security. The Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) recent Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) announcement puts an end to several years of speculation, so SMEs must get on top of their control game. Executive Summary Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) is here to stay for small to mid-sized enterprises (SMEs), which the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) defines as any publicly traded company with less than $75 million
Miss Matrix didn’t think about it as her fingers flew across her laptop keyboard. She connected to different security cameras across the city. She zoomed into the suspected hideouts of the Knucklebugs. "Alright, they’re close, and— the stupid battery died! The stupid camera battery died!" Except she didn’t say "stupid." She said something worse. "Stupid Knucklebugs, stupid dragonfly girl!" She kicked the edge of her desk and switched to another camera in a mall. A teenage boy looked up into it
doors. If you live in a complex, pay attention to all stairwells, fire exits, as well as entrance and exit points. Make sure that windows with easy entrance points such as those on the ground floor are locked at all times or for even more sense of security, barred. Also make sure all deck and patio doors are locked unless you are using them. These small steps will ensure that your home is a safer home. 3. The difference between access control and full
According to the New York Civil Liberties Union in four well-known areas of New York the number of public surveillance cameras has rose from 769 in 1998 to 4,468 in 2005. This seems like a huge increase but if you think about it really isn’t. In a period of seven years there were 3,699 new cameras, which lined the streets keeping the citizens safe. These cameras, which are all over the world cause no harm to anyone, all they do is keep us safe and help the authorities know when we are in need of
Security is gaining awareness and importance in recent years. And the access control system form a vital link in the security chain at present there are many security system available in the market but the paper proposed here is an economical electronic system. The consumption of low operating power, flexible and user friendly mechanical designs are the merits of this project the paper presents the technology of authorized access system by using 89c51 microcontroller and it has an added advantage
OSI are comprised of these layers: Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, and Application (InetDaemon, 2015). The Physical Layer is the layer that is responsible for the hardwired connection, this is in charge of the cables and device layouts (Tetz, 2011). Without this layer no devices would be able to connect to that network. This includes wireless as Wi-Fi cards belong to the physical and data link layers (Capano, 2014). The physical layer also takes the
Modern schools are designed with safety and security in mind. Due to the fact that most schools handle high numbers of students at a fast pace every day, security has become a science in these establishments. Both passive and active security measures are taken to defend a school from internal and external threats. When these measures fail or a school faces a threat that cannot be turned away such as a tornado or earthquake, it is important that proper disaster contingency plans are in place to minimize
sequence of signals transmitted by a transponder unit carried by a person desiring to open the lock. [1] We propose to improve the door-locking security system by combining many functions in an electronic door lock; we can call it as Smart Door Lock as well. Nowadays, the house burglary cases increase days by days. Some homeowner cannot control the security of their house when he or she is not around. Besides, it is difficult to believe the neighbors and guard to ensure the safety of the house is
• The HoneyTree was hired by another company to conduct a security audit to examine the vulnerabilities of its information systems. To complete the security audit, it must be determined if there are vulnerabilities of its informational system. The set up and the overall security of the network area will be tested. The company is a five building campus. All five buildings, inside and outside will be tested. The perimeter of the campus will also be tested to make sure that no internet service is
