ABSTRACT

From the physical security standpoint, we are the gatekeepers. We are the protectors of the organization from all threats; regardless of whether they are malicious, internal, or environmental. We need to be ever vigilant and confident that the work we are doing will be regarded as a necessary operational function for the overall security and the protection of the asset-to include employees, information, and property. Protection of these three things is the cornerstone of our profession (Figure 1.1).
