Topic 4 Physical Security
Locks
Disable the item
Remove Incentive - Systems to disable the item indefinitely when stolen or revoke the use of the item whilst stolen - like a phone password
Physically prevents the item from being taken - like a bike lock
Potential issues
Many of these locks can be easily broken or bypassed because of their simplicity - but making them any bigger or complex would be inconvenient for the user
The actual item can sometimes be deconstructed as long as the lock doesn't secure all parts, and the item is still valuable without being intact
Physical Barrier
Keeps things secure from hazards (fire, chemical, water)
Prevents unwanted access
Types
Vault/Secure rooms
Strong materials which are hard to break in to (high strength steel is commonly used, as well as reinforced concrete walls)
Distance // remoteness. Usually vaults are far underground, but it could also be helpful to have the secure room in a remote area, since the distance could act as a deterrent.
Safes
Fire resistant barriers
Airtight locks to prevent unwanted substances from entering
Gates and walls
Electromagnetic gate/door
Fences/walls - electric, tall, spiked tops
Can prevent people from seeing what is kept inside
Security Systems
CCTV Cameras to be used as evidence || security team could investigate suspicious activity early
Motion detectors
Notify authorities or security team
Activates alarms as a deterrent or to bring attention to the issue
Activate physical barriers - to trap the person inside until authorities or security team arrive
Access Keys
Biometrics (face id, fingerprint)
NFC keys (phones, keycards)
Physical key
A common issue being that physical keys are easily lost
Password, pin code, or encryption key
Info (i.e. knowing where something is kept, decoy access systems)
