In today’s video, we will be discussing what physical security is and how you can
use it to your advantage.
So, let’s dive right in.
Physical security is the physical protection for people, businesses, software, equipment,
or valuables against all or any security risks.
Some of these security threats or security incidents could be theft, fires, vandalism,
terrorism, or even natural disasters.
To understand more about what a physical security incident is, make sure to check out our other
video which will be linked in the description box below.
One way that can we improve physical security and stop these risks is by taking physical
security measures.
A physical security measure is the measures or actions that you take to help prevent security
risks.
Physical security measures can come in many different types of forms, and they will often
depend on what or who you are protecting.
Some of these measures could be visual deterrents or actually apply different actions of security.
Some examples of visual deterrents being used as physical security measures could be a homeowner
installing a home security camera at the side of their home to help protect them from burglars.
Another could be hiring a security guard to stand at the front of your shop or building,
as they can act as a visual deterrent against thieves.
An example of a physical security measure could be a construction site hiring security
guards to patrol their premises to watch out for any suspicious activity.
Another could be homeowners or businesses buying secure locks for all of their doors.
Within physical security and physical security systems, there are different levels of protection,
that companies can use to evaluate how effective their security or security systems are within
their business.
These levels are minimum-security – this is where you only have minimum security measures
in place, low-level security – this is where you only have small measures of security in
place, medium-security – this is where you have some security measures in place but there
is still room for improvement, high-level security – which is where you have a lot
of good security measures in place, and finally maximum security – which is when you have
best and most effective security measures in place.
It is important that your business has good physical security, as it helps to keep your
business, and anyone employed by your business protected and away from any harm.
Furthermore, it is important to have good physical security, whether that be for a business
or homeowner, as it allows people to feel a bit more secure and have a better sense
of safety.
Security guards have been known to be an advantage in physical security, as many business owners
will hire security guards to protect their company.
As security guards can help to improve physical security in a variety of different sectors.
For example, security guards who work in building security will improve a building’s physical
security by logging the amount of people who enters or leave a building.
Security guards who work in event security will help improve physical security as they
will be responsible for everyone at the event, and security guards will use their customer
service skills to help other employees or to help guests feel at ease during an event.
While security guards who work as bodyguards will be hired to protect high-profile people
such as celebrities or politicians.
These bodyguards will help improve the physical security of these individuals, by making sure
that no harm comes to them.
The main reason why security guards are able to improve the physical security of where
they are working is because of a security guard’s main responsibility which is protecting
people, buildings, or valuables.
Security guards are able to complete this through their tasks and duties.
So that’s everything about physical security.
