Physical Security and Perimeter control


-Access control systems allow authorized personnel and
material to move through normal access routes while
detecting and delaying movement of unauthorized
personnel and material.
-Access control adds little, if any, enhancement to a structure's
physical barriers. The use of electrically operated locks and
strikes with access control systems may actually reduce
penetration delay times for doors.
-Thus, access control systems must be integrated with other
components of the overall physical security system to be
effective. This will ensure that personnel seeking entry to the
protected area are queued at the control point(s).
-There are many different types of access control systems
and they vary extensively in their complexity and
capabilities.
