The three should complement each other in mitigating risks and securing a business from attacks. Every business is different, with different types of risks, which should be assessed before deciding the most appropriate combination of Protective Security. ## Physical Security Physical security is the protection of people, property, and physical assets from actions and events that could cause damage or loss. For example: - Intruder detection and alarms - Access/Entrance control systems - Security guarding - Hostile vehicle mitigation, including vehicle security barriers - Blast protection - Ballistic protection - Manual Attack protection Safetell has multiple Physical Security Products to assist with Protective Security which can be found [here](https://www.safetell.co.uk/security-products/). ## Information Security The state of being protected against the unauthorised use of information, especially electronic data, or the measures taken to achieve this. For example: - Network access control measures (typically enforced by ‘firewalls’) - Electronic attack intrusion detection and prevention - Identification and authentication measures (e.g. username/password) ## Personnel Security A system of policies and procedures which aim to manage and minimise the risk of people exploiting legitimate access to an organisation's assets or premises for unauthorised purposes. - Identity checking and pre-employment screening - Risk assessment procedures - Ongoing security measures We are open to questions and discussion with our customers and audience about physical security.
