The main objective of Physical Security is to protect the facilities and assets of the organization or individual. Security experts agree that the three most important components of a Physical security plan are access control, surveillance, and security testing, which work together to make the space more safe/secure. Physical security help protect software, hardware, data, networks, and individuals from physical actions and events that could pose severe damage or loss to an enterprise, agency, institution, or personnel.
The two primary concerns of physical security include protection and prevention serving the security interests of people, property, and equipment. The physical sites are secured against accidents, attacks, and/or environmental disasters using fencing, locks, access control cards, biometric access control systems, and fire suppression systems. Physical security uses multiple layers of interdependent systems, which includes locks, CCTV surveillance, security guards, access control protocols, protective barriers, and other similar techniques.
Physical security measures should deter and/or discourage someone who has malicious intent. Thus, with the increasing security concerns, the demand for physical security measures is also increasing with a rapid pace. Many governments are developing the most sophisticated physical security measures to fight against street crime and terrorism. For instance, the physical Security Program helps protect the facilities, property, data, and personnel in accordance with Federal standards and regulations within the United States and Foreign Commercial Service.
