Physical security involves protecting personnel, hardware, programs, networks, and data from events that could cause serious losses or damage. Threats include interruption of services, theft, physical damage, unauthorized disclosure, and loss of system integrity. Physical security planning uses a layered defense model with layers at the perimeter moving inward toward assets, including deterrence, delaying, detection, assessment, and response. Perimeter security can be provided by access control, physical barriers, intrusion detection, assessment, response, and deterrents. Security personnel play a central role administering electronic access control, responding to alarms, monitoring video, and more.
