Category: Physical security
Most people start thinking about protection at this level. Physical security encompasses the tangible layers of protection materials, like steel, bolts, and barriers. It protects what you want from those determinate to get it. It includes everything from rolling shutters at the end of the night to a crash barrier, keeping vehicles from entering the lobby of a public building. Over the past ten years, a lot has changed in the perspective of physical security. It’s not about making things difficult to break. It’s about multiple layers. Most determined intruders will eventually get through anything. Physical security’s job is to make it more difficult and slow them down. By the time they break through, the detection system or response team has a higher risk of catching them. That’s why things like LPS 1175 focus on the time it takes to break through rather than making it impenetrable. It all comes down to what is being protected, where it is, and the people most likely to break in. A warehouse that holds valuable stock will most definitely be different than the barrier of a corner store. They will also be different than a home in a quiet village.
In this section, we present all types of shutters, grilles for situations requiring light and visibility, doors built to certified standards, gates from domestic to industrial use, and the heavier kits like bollards, anti-ram barriers, safes, and vaults, which are employed when the threat level increases.
