 Perimeter Security
A holistic approach

Why Perimeter Security?

• Financial
• Efficiency
• Effective
• Response
How is this accomplished:

 Physical Security is accomplished by performing an assessment of

the facility/building and the surrounding premises.

 Physical security enhancements should be considered during the

budget process. Consideration of alternative funding sources should
be taken into account such as Homeland Security Grant Funding,
“One Shot Appropriations” from governing bodies and Capital
Improvement Projects (CIP)

– During new construction Physical security should be taken into

account during the budgeting process

– Physical security designs should be performed by a qualified

professional regarding the topology and architecture of the
systems and how they will integrate

– Physical security installations should be performed by a

manufacturer certified/authorized dealer
Physical Security Assessments

 Examples of questions to ask when performing a Physical

Security Assessment:

– What are you protecting? Determining what you are protecting

will determine the amount of “security” you will place on the
information and/or facility

– Is the facility located in a high crime area?

– Do you own or lease/rent the facility?

– Is the facility a multiunit or multiple tenant facility?

– Is the facility designed for the type of environment the work

will be performed? (IE. Power, structure, communications, HVAC
and fire suppression)
Evaluation of Assets and Data

 What is the net worth of the assets to be guarded

 How much would it cost your organization to overcome a

catastrophic loss of data or property

 Implementing physical security measures worth the cost of the data

or property

 Perform an impact statement to determine if the cost of

implementing physical security measures is cost effective or
prohibitive.
 Security assessment
• The base is located in an insurgent active area
with high probability of attack.
• The base is located in a remote Jungle
inaccessible region.
• The base has both operational command and
civilian population.
• The base is thus open to counter-force and
counter value strike with Insurgents and
enemy special forces and organised mafia
acting as mercenaries.
 Security assessment
• The surrounding area will have tribal
population and any wrong use of force is
politically sensitive and will be of high
propaganda value to the insurgent.
• Base my be surrounded by high mountains
from where the insurgents can keep watch
and track the movement of the forces and
families and plan and coordinate attacks.
• The base will need supplies and provisions
and munitions where infiltration and attacks
can come.
 Security assessment

• The base will be visited by local workers and

civilian populations where be can have
insurgents, lone attacks and reconnaissance
activity by the enemy
Physical Security Domains

There are a number of ways to subdivide physical security, to

simplify we have divided Physical Security into five parts.

 Part I: Perimeter protection and outer structure

 Part II: Access Control & Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)

 Part III: Power

 Part IV: Heating, ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC)

 Part IV: Life safety

Part I: Perimeter protection and
outer structure
 Facility may require a perimeter fencing:

– Chain link fence should be at least 11 gauge steel. Common

installation, easy to climb or cut for entry

– Concrete masonry unit (CMU), One of the strongest

installations, offers privacy, very expensive

– Wrought iron fencing, offers great protection, very expensive.

– Box steel welded fence construction, Architecturally acceptable,

offers great protection, offers very little privacy and expensive
 Perimeter protection

 Are barriers located onsite of the facility:

– Physical barriers such as fences and walls deter intruders and

restrict visibility into the premises

– Inspect barriers for deterioration

 Outer Structure

 Windows are conducive to forced entry:

– Windows have the highest vulnerability to forced entry

– The location and characteristics of windows needs to be

inspected

– Doors that have windows should not be within a 40” proximity

to the door lock

– Windows that are less than 18 feet from the ground are the
most vulnerable since they are easily accessible from the
building exterior
 Outer Structure

 Facility doors should be constructed of material that will

discourage breakage:

– Steel or Solid wood doors, not hollow core doors

– Doors that are constructed of glass, should be inspected for

glass type such as tempered glass, wire mesh or safety glass
 Outer Structure

 Ensure door strikes and strike plates are adequate and

properly installed:

– Door strikes should be secured and properly fastened

– Door strike protectors should be installed on doors that require

protectors or exterior doors

 Inspect doors with exterior hinges that may be in a sensitive

area of exposure:

– Normally doors that open out are the issue

– Door that open out are easier to compromise

 Outer Structure

 Door frames should be strong and tight to prevent

forcing/spreading:

– Inspect door frame to ensure the frame is plumb and level

– Ensure fasteners are tight and properly installed

 Door locks should be in good repair:

– Inspect for rust or deterioration

– Inspect for proper operation

 Outer Structure

 Door locks should include a dead bolt with 1-inch throw:

– Measure the depth of the deadbolts

– Inspect door frames to ensure frame can support deadbolt force

 Exterior areas should be free from concealing structures or

landscaping:

– Inspect for "pony walls"

– Inspect for over grown landscaping next to external windows

 Outer Structure

 visitor’s should be required to sign in:

– Require a visitor’s log

– Require visitor’s identification badges

– Have an attendant oversee the visitor’s log

– Review the visitor’s log periodically

 Outer Structure

 Escort facility visitor’s:

– Create a policy on escorted and unescorted visitor’s

– Provide different color identification badges for escorted

and unescorted visitor’s

– Require visitor’s to turn in identification badges after visit

Part II: Security Access Control
and Closed Circuit Television
Access control systems are typically a
scalable management solution
encompassing complete access
control, advanced event monitoring
and administration auditing. Access
control systems typically involve a
central server or host for control and
monitoring.
 Basic Access Control:

– Remote capability to lock and unlock doors

– Audit log of who and when personnel utilized a door

– Audit log when a door has been forced or help open

– Capability to restrict or remove access to specific person or

group

– Monitoring of room occupancy by intrusion-detection systems

 Access Control Selection
Criteria:
– What manufacture of system to purchase

– How many facilities attached to the access control system

– How do you communicate with the access control system

– How many card holders will you have

– Who will administrate the system

– What type of card technology to use (FIP 201 compliance)

Closed Circuit Television and Digital
Video Management Systems

Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) and Digital Video Management

System (DVMS) has taken many advances over the years. The
evolution of CCTV is an interesting history that combines the
entertainment industry, consumer electronics and CCTV. None of
the three are a combination we put together, but there is a strong
parallel that has moved the industry to where it is today
History of Closed Circuit Television
Systems
 The original CCTV systems were built using equipment intended for
the use of the broadcast industry and industrial television

– Cameras were large

– Expensive

– Required high energy consumption

– Required frequent maintenance

History of Closed Circuit Television
Systems
 As a result of the high expense and the need to change tubes in the
equipment coupled with the heat generated by the equipment,
service calls and service technicians made for a lucrative business.
The high expense of CCTV installation and the cost of servicing the
equipment made it possible for only the wealthy to afford such
systems since the cost of installation and maintenance out weighted
the cost of the assets to be protected for most

 In the mid-60’s, CCTV started to evolve as an industry. Two

inventions facilitated this change and allowed the cost of installation
and the maintenance of CCTV systems to become an affordable
option. The Pan, Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) was invented along with the
motorized lens. The PTZ function allowed the camera to move up,
down and side to side. The motorized lens allowed remote control
of zoom. Focus and iris adjustment. These inventions reduced the
number of cameras required to cover an area
History of Closed Circuit Television
Systems
 In the consumer electronic market, amateur video taping, movie
rentals and the mass production and use of the video cassette
recorder (VCR) become less expensive and lightweight. Soon the
two technologies merged creating the camera and recorder or what
we know today as the “Camcorder”

 In the late 80’s a mass market of products began to dramatically

reduce prices and improvements in quality and availability. What
was once enjoyed by the wealthy was now made affordable and
available to the general public and industry
Designing a Closed Circuit television
Systems
When designing a usable Closed Circuit Television System (CCTV) it
does not take an “expert” to design a system. Some of the most
usable CCTV system have been designed by individuals that said
time and time again “I do not know anything about this, but
shouldn’t we….”. If you take a common sense approach based on
specific applications and needs of your organization the basic
placement of cameras can be accomplished keeping in mind
cameras are like “people” they only can see what “people” can see
Designing a Closed Circuit television
Systems
 System use, Security or surveillance:

– Security is defined as watching objects or items

– Surveillance is defined as watching people

 Will operators manage the system:

– Operators will be required for surveillance

– The potential for “large” storage may be required for security or

the watching of objects or items (recommended seven days of
storage)
Designing a Closed Circuit television
Systems
 Cameras selection and locations, indoors or outdoors:

– PTZ or fixed cameras

– Indoor cameras are used, are they covert or in plain site

– Outdoor cameras are used, what is your outdoor climate

 Storage of video:

– Hard drive storage or the network storage

– Video cassette recorder

Closed Circuit Television Systems
Designs
 Common short comings of many CCTV systems

– Not enough cameras

– Cameras installed incorrectly or incorrect cameras installed for

application

– No operator

– Not enough storage or improper media for storage

– Improperly trained personnel

– Neglected or improperly maintained systems to include

cameras, power supplies, VCR’s, DVR’s, software application and
network connection
IT concerns for Closed Circuit
Television Systems
– Network traffic for IP cameras

– Network traffic with the Integration of CCTV and access control

– Improperly trained personnel

– Storage of video on site with specific hard drives or network

storage

– Transfer of video files via email

– The downloading of updates for windows based DVR’s

– The potential of viruses on windows based DVR’s

 Part III: Power
 Does the facility have multiple services from the power
company

– Primary and secondary service in case of power loss

– Secondary services (if available) require a device called “Tie-

breaker” in the electrical service main
 Power Conditioning
– One to one transformer for power conditioning

– Main service(s) over-current protection, is it fused or

manual/auto reset breaker

– Main service should be protected by adequate Ground Fault

protection

– Electrical systems dedicated to computer systems the main

electrical service and distribution panels should have an
isolated ground (IE. Orange receptacles)

– Are the use of “K” rated transformers for harmonics instituted

within your facilities
Back Up Power Generators

– What is the intended use of the generator (emergency lighting,

Computers or back up of the facility)

– Generator should be sized for the load

– Back up generators should be tested weekly, monthly or

annually

– All generator should have strict maintenance schedules with

work performed by generator mechanics/specialist
Back Up Power Uninterrupted
Power Supply (UPS)
– What is the intended use of the UPS

– Is the UPS sized for the load

– UPS 5 KVA or great are they Standby or in use type (Standby UPS’s
usually do not have power conditioners)

– What is the maintenance schedule for the UPS

– Is the UPS surge factor greater than 1.15

– UPS should include a feature to alarm when a low battery
condition exists

– UPS should have remote alarm panels located in server rooms and
security/maintenance office
Part IV Heating, ventilation and
Air Conditioning (HVAC):
 Is the facility equipped with the proper HVAC system

– Is the HVAC system sized for the current occupancy and

heat/cooling load

– Was the HVAC system designed with electronic equipment in

mind (heat load and humidity)

– Does the HVAC system connect to an environmental control

system or direct digital control (DDC)

– Who provides programming and support for the HVAC

application if the system is controlled by DDC

– Is the HVAC application on the network and is it network

dependant to operated
 Heating, ventilation and Air
Conditioning in server rooms:
 Server rooms and remote communication closets should
have proper and separate HVAC Systems:

– Inspect HVAC system to ensure separate heating and cooling

controls are within server rooms and telecommunications
closets

– Within server rooms and telecommunication closets are high

and low temperature warning mechanism present

– Are HVAC filters changed on a regular basis

– Is the HVAC system serviced on a periodic basis

– Is the HVAC system for server rooms and telecommunications

closets on a back up generator
Part V Life Safety: Fire Alarms

– Does the facility have a fire alarm system

– Fire alarm system are required by law to be periodically test

(Annually)

– Manual pull stations and horn/strobes must be located near the

exits

– Fire alarm system should attached to a UL approved monitoring

service

– A representative from your organization should be for the

administration of the fire alarm system
 Fire Suppression:

– Does the facility have a fire sprinkler system

– Fire sprinkler system are required by law to be periodically

tested (Annually, inspection tag looped on main valve)

– Fire sprinkler system spray heads shall not have any object
within eighteen inches (18”) from the spray head vertically and
two (2) feet horizontally

– Server rooms should have an emergency power shut off switch

at the exit doors to shut down power in the event a water fire
suppression system is activated within the room
 Fire Extinguishers:

– Does the facility have fire extinguishers

– Fire extinguishers should be periodically tested (annually

licensed and certified personnel)

– Where are the fire extinguishers located and are they depicted
on an emergency evacuation plan

– Personnel should receive training on fire extinguisher use. A

quick reference below would be the word PASS

• Pull
• Aim
• Squeeze
• Sweep
Integrator Challenges and IT
Resources:
Challenges that face many security integrators is the lack of
administrative authority on a network (for good reason) and the
lack of understanding of a network or the dynamics of an
organizations network
Key questions to ask an integrator when a system is to be
installed:

– Will the system and application require administrative rights on

a machine or the network

– How does the system communicate. (TCP/IP, RS 232/485,

modem etc.)

– Does the system require a software application? If so, how

many client/nodes are allowed

– Who will retain the software and software license

Integrator Challenges and IT
Resources:
– How much bandwidth will be consumed by the system or
application

– How much data storage will be required for the system

– Is the system capable of running if the application loses

communication

– Will the integrator retain an administrative account on the

system

– Will the integrator have an remote connection to the system,

during and after the project

– What is the recommended specifications of the host or server

machine
Management and Planning of IT
Based Physical Security
Discussing the challenges ahead:

 The challenges that face many organizations currently, is finding a

balance between Physical Security personnel with knowledge of IT
systems and physical security solutions that are IT based dependant.

 The relationship of physical security IT systems requiring IT

knowledge and background verse physical security is eighty/twenty
(80/20). Eighty percent physical security and twenty percent IT
system based background knowledge.

 Many IT organizations assume the responsibility of an IT based

physical security system understanding approximately twenty
percent of the system.
 Access Control

Challenges for the State:

 Through shared resources such as the Access System IT
organizations on a statewide level can assume the responsibility of
an IT based physical security system with greater understanding and
support .

 Challenges ahead such as Federal Identification Process Standard

201 (FIPS 201) and the Real ID Act, shared resources will become
invaluable to the success of our statewide programs.

 Currently no one person or organization has the answers, with

constant changing standards and never ending technology it is
nearly impossible to keep up. I invite each of you to join together to
assist in the progress of physical IT security allowing for consistency
statewide.

MAPS CONFIGURATION

An icon editor, integrated in the system, allows to:

• Associate to each object type (sensors, input, output, cameras …) the graphical files (.ico, jpg, …) that
represent it .
• Define different status (inactive, alarm, active, fault, …) that can be assumed by the objects of an
adequate representation.
• Define different icon families for the same Object type

A graphical map editor, integrated in the system, allows to:

• Build the tree of the graphical representation inserting as many “maps” as necessary for the plant
representation.
• Import the map background file (.jpg, .bmp, .gif, …).
• Select a specific icon for different object types (sensors, areas, input, output, cameras, …)
• Insert, in the preferred position of the map, icons that represent objects and build the associations icons
 objects.
• Accurately move the icons (pixel by pixel), to the desired position.

Defender

• Alarm control units and

components (concentrators,
keyboards, input, output, groups)
are represented in the physical
tree and can be inserted in
graphical maps.

• Auto-learning mechanism:
automatic acquisition of the list of
devices linked to the units.
ACCESS CONTROL

•SCS manages “Solicited” and

“Unsolicited” commands from/to
Brain devices

• Remote users master data

defined in SCS :
• users list
• user badge number
• user profile
• time slot
• list of readers enabled
ALARM MANAGEMENT
What happens in case of alarm
• Automatically (if this option is active) the system shows the map with the object which caused the alarm
(i.e. an intrusion sensor).
• The icon associated to the object blinks, to recall operator attention.
• If programmed, an audio file is played.
• In the events list (at the bottom) the new event is displayed (compatibly with the event priority level in
regards to other events still in queue to be accepted).
• The system activates the “MACRO” associated to the event, that can, for example:
• Activate one or more output (to light the alarm scene and/or emit an acoustic signal and/or send an
audio message).
• Send preset commands to one or more dome camera.
• Activate the recording where requested (on Codec MPEG4, and/or Server)
• Request live pictures from cameras that are framing the alarm scene (or, as an alternative, the
pre/post alarm buffer pictures).
• Send to the player(s) the display format command (full screen/quad/…) followed by the command to
display the desired cameras.
 EVENTS
Complete events list
• Everything is archived
• To simplify the events analysis a very
effective filter mechanism has been
developed …

Filter by
• Object (sensor, peripheral, ...)
• Operator / Action
• Date/time
• Event type (alarm, failure …)
• To be confirmed / confirmed
• …
 MACROS
SCS allows to create very complex Macros: the sequence of actions can be made up with more commands
toward different devices.

Macros activation:
• by the operator
• automatically executed as a
consequence of a particular event
• automatically executed as a
consequence of a particular event on a
particular device

Examples:
• launch of movie recording on one or
more camera on an alarm event on any
sensor
• launch of live visualization from one or
more cameras on an alarm event on a
particular sensor
• activation of the anti-intrusion alarm
on more areas with a single click made
by the operator
• activation of the anti-intrusion alarm
on more areas on the badge passage

HYDRAULIC BOLLARD SYSTEM
HYDRAULIC BOLLARD SYSTEM
HYDRAULIC BOLLARD SYSTEM
 THE ACCESS CONTROL PRINCIPLE
DBT deterrence and access control systems
are comprised of:
One or several retractable bollards made of
treated anti-corrosion and painted steel.
A control system for long-distance bollard control
Magnetic detection loops
Posts with signalling lights
Bollard controlling devices
Further options
 CONTROL UNIT
• The technical control unit is the bollard’s
indispensable control instrument. It contains
all automation components necessary for
operating the bollard.
• The technical unit can control several bollards
simultaneously or individually. How the
control unit is made up thus depends on the
general configuration of the system and the
chosen options (number of managed entries,
signalling lights, operating mode, clock,etc…).
 CONTROL UNIT
• According to the topography of the site, the
unit can be offset:
– in a wall box, the size of which varies depending
on the system characteristics (number and type of
bollards).
– in an external terminal made out of anti-corrosion
treated and painted steel, which allows for a good
integration in the urban environment.
– in a totem that enables interface elements to be
received on the front (badge reader, signalling
lights, keyboards, etc…)
 EXTRA SECURITY
• access control systems can be fitted with magnetic detection
loops placed in front of and behind the bollard. They enable
the presence of a vehicle in range of the bollard to be
detected so that it does not go back up whilst the vehicle is
passing. What is more, they enable an automatic rising and
exit for the vehicle to be set.
• The security whilst the bollard is in motion can also be
reinforced by light and sound devices (luminous bollard head,
signalling lights, buzzer …).
• There is also a device of automatic descent in case of
absence of tension which, in emergencies, enables the way to
be freed for emergency
 Features

• Defence solution against all forms of attack

(terrorism, theft…).
• Specially adapted for the protection and
security of vulnerable sites.
• Very high shock resistance: can stop a vehicle
going at 95km/h.
