[PDF] The Complete Guide to Physical Security Paul R. Baker, Daniel J. Benny

As the physical security field continues to grow, there is a requirement to stay up to date on the constant technical enhancements. There is also a need to train the newly recruited members of the physical security trade and make them aware of the nuances of this field. Physical security is the use of multiple devices, hardware, and technology; this pulls into place access control, closed-circuit tv (CCTV), intrusion detection, and environmental controls. The knowledge base for our field is partly technical and partly physical. We have received this training through years of working in the field and collaborating with other members of the physical security community. The physical security professional needs a clear understanding of the dynamics of his or her organization and the market forces that drive the organization.
