Fundamentals of Physical Protection Systems v2.0
Introduces and examines how a physical protection system integrates people, procedures, and equipment to keep assets or facilities secure from theft, sabotage, or other malicious acts.
This course introduces and examines how a physical protection system integrates people, procedures, and equipment to keep assets or facilities secure from theft, sabotage, or other malicious acts. A physical security system’s basic functions are to
- Detect – discover an adversary’s action.
- Delay – add time and complexity to an adversary’s path, increasing response time for protective forces.
- Respond – interrupt and neutralize the adversary.
At the end of this workshop, participants will know how to apply principles of performance-based methodology to design and evaluate a physical protection system for nuclear material; how to identify and describe the strategies and general technologies used in a physical security system; and how the technologies and procedures are deployed in the field.
