Events and disasters around the world serve as a constant reminder to both the commercial and public sectors that no location or activity is immune from the impact of a real or threatened attack.

Terrorists, as well as activists and criminals, see property (Governmental, public and private) as a viable target - both by its destruction as a means to an end, or to cover their tracks and destroy evidence.

Being denied the use of your infrastructure could have a catastrophic effect on your operations, as well as loss of stock/equipment and loss of revenue.

By employing a holistic approach to security, you will benefit from an interactive security system that will provide the best form of defence against a hostile act. Implementing an effective training and planning process will reduce the risk of intentional damage and maximise an organisation's ability to respond rapidly to any emergency situation.

Effective security and property protection is based on the following principles:

• Detecting Threats
• Deterring Access
• Delaying Progress
• Denying Assistance

Every organisation will be open to different kinds of threats.  Before any security system is employed it is essential that an assessment of the threat be carried out.  It is by looking at your specific threats and requirements that the most cost-effective and practical measures will be employed and understood, by both the security force and employees alike.
