deter potential intruders (e.g. warning signs, security lighting); detect intrusions, and identify, monitor and record intruders (e.g. security alarms, access control and CCTV systems); trigger appropriate incident responses (e.g. by security guards and police); delay or prevent hostile movements (e.g. door reinforcements, grilles);
[1] [2] It is believed that a "strong, visible defense will deter or delay an attack". [3] In terms of business and home security, target hardening [4] is one of the suite of protective measures that are included in crime prevention through environmental design. [5]
A fence-mounted perimeter intrusion detection system installed on a chain link fence. A perimeter intrusion detection system ( PIDS ) is a device or sensor that detects the presence of an intruder attempting to breach the physical perimeter of a property, building, or other secured area.
Security controls or security measures are safeguards or countermeasures to avoid, detect, counteract, or minimize security risks to physical property, information, computer systems, or other assets. [1] In the field of information security, such controls protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information.
An electronic countermeasure (ECM) is an electrical or electronic device designed to trick or deceive radar, sonar, or other detection systems, like infrared (IR) or lasers. It may be used both offensively and defensively to deny targeting information to an enemy.
This form of "electronic warfare" cuts both ways and since detector-detectors use a similar superheterodyne receiver, many early "stealth" radar detectors were equipped with a radar-detector-detector-detector circuit, which shuts down the main radar receiver when the detector-detector's signal is detected, thus preventing detection by such ...
Security lighting to prevent intrusions may be counter-productive. Turning off lights halved the number of thefts and burglary in Övertorneå Sweden. [2] [3] A test in West Sussex UK showed that adding all-night lighting in some areas made people there feel safer, although crime rates increased 55% in those areas compared to control areas and to the county as a whole.
Deception technology (also deception and disruption technology) is a category of cyber security defense mechanisms that provide early warning of potential cyber security attacks and alert organizations of unauthorized activity. Deception technology products can detect, analyze, and defend against zero-day and
