Business Security Information

It seems like there are numerous websites on the Internet covering the main aspects of computer security but very few on physical security for a typical business.  On this website I try to cover all types of security on this website, but today I want to focus on physical security.

Physical security is mainly related to the protection of people, buildings, equipment and other physical or tangible assets.  Physical security is often overlooked in this high-tech business world where protecting digital assets of a business is emphasized. Adequately protecting digital assets, though, depends on implementing physical security as well.

Protecting people, buildings, equipment and other tangible assets involves such physical security measures as barriers, security fencing, locks, security lighting, window glazing, alarm systems, alarm  monitoring systems, security surveillance systems (i.e. camera systems), and, in some cases, security officers and patrols.

Adequate physical security requires detection of would-be attackers, slowing the criminals down, and implementation of an effective response.  If you follow these principles when setting up physical security for your business, you will be a lot farther along in adequately protecting your business than most businesses I see.  I have written more about the principles of security, and you can read more about the principles in that article.
