The measures and systems put in place to protect the boundary or perimeter of physical or virtual space are referred to as perimeter security. It is commonly used to prevent unauthorized access or intrusion into buildings, facilities, and computer networks. The primary goal of perimeter security is to establish a secure perimeter that prevents or detects unauthorized entry and, if necessary, initiates an appropriate response.
Physical barriers are intended to prevent or discourage unauthorized access. Walls, fences, gates, bollards, barriers, and turnstiles are some examples.Unauthorized individuals find it difficult to enter a restricted area due to these physical barriers.
Access Control Systems: Entry and exit points are regulated and managed using access control systems. This can include technologies such as electronic key cards, biometric systems (such as fingerprint or retina scanners), or PIN codes that allow only authorized personnel access.
Surveillance Systems: Surveillance systems are critical components of perimeter security. Closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, motion sensors, and video analytics are among them. These systems aid in the monitoring and recording of perimeter activities, providing real-time monitoring and evidence in the event of a security breach.
Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS): An IDS is an automated system that detects and alerts about unauthorized perimeter breaches.It can detect potential intrusions and raise an alarm using technologies such as sensors, lasers, or motion detectors.
Lighting: Adequate perimeter lighting deters intruders and improves visibility for surveillance systems. Well-lit areas reduce hiding places and make it easier to detect illegal activity.
Trained security personnel can add an extra layer of security by monitoring the perimeter, verifying identities, and responding quickly to security incidents.
