  1. Dr. Bhavani ThuraisinghamThe University of Texas at Dallas (UTD)July 2013 Physical (Environmental) Security

  2. Domain Agenda • Site and Facility Design Criteria • Perimeter Security • Building and Inside Security • Secure Operational Area

  3. Site Location Considerations • Emergency services • Hazards/ threats • Adjacency

  4. Threats to Physical Security • National / environmental • Utility systems • Human-made/ political events

  5. Threat Sources and Controls Threat • Theft • Espionage • Dumpster diving • Social engineering • Shoulder surfing • HVAC access Controls • Locks • Background checks • Disposal procedures • Awareness • Screen filters • Motion sensors in ventilation ducts

  6. Domain Agenda • Site and Facility Design Criteria • Perimeter Security • Building and Inside Security • Secure Operational Area

  7. Perimeter and BuildingBoundary Protections • First line of defense • Protective barriers • Natural • Structural

  8. Fences • Federal, state or local codes may apply • Parking should not be allowed near fences

  9. Controlled Access Points • Gates are the minimum necessary layer • Bollards

  10. Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems • Detect unauthorized access into an area • Electronic ‘eyes’ • Note that some perimeters IDSs can function inside the perimeter as well.

  11. Types of Lighting • Continuous lighting • Trip lighting • Standby lighting • Emergency exit lighting • Emergency egress lighting

  12. Access and Visitor Logs and More Rigorous forms of Logging

  13. Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) • CCTV Capability Requirements • Detection • Recognition • Identification • Mixing Capabilities • Virtual CCTV Systems

  14. Guards and Guard Stations • Guards • Deterrent • Possible liability • Guard stations

  15. Domain Agenda • Site and Facility Design Criteria • Perimeter Security • Building and Inside Security • Secure Operational Area

  16. Doors • Isolation of critical areas • Lighting of doorways • Contact devices • Guidelines

  17. Building Entry Point Protection • Locks • Lock components • Body • Strike • Strike plates • Key • Cylinder

  18. Types of Locks • Something you have – Keyed • Something you know – Combinations • Something you are - Biometric

  19. Lock Attacks • Lock picking • Lock bumping

  20. Lock Controls • Lock and key control system • Key control procedures • Change combinations • Fail • Soft • Secure • Safe

  21. Other Electronic Physical Controls • Card access • Biometric access methods

  22. Windows and Entry Points • Standard plate glass • Tempered glass • Acrylic materials • Polycarbonate windows • Entry points

  23. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) • Closed circuit television • Sensors and monitors

  24. Escorts and Visitor Control • Visitor access control best practices • Picture identity • Photographs • Enclosed area • Authorized escort

  25. Access Logs • Computerized log • Closed circuit TV

  26. Domain Agenda • Site and Facility Design Criteria • Perimeter Security • Building and Inside Security • Secure Operational Area

  27. Equipment Room • Perimeter enclosure • Controls • Policy

  28. Data Processing Facility • Small devices threat • Server room • Mainframes • Storage

  29. Communications and Power • Wireless access points • Network access control • Utility and power rooms

  30. Work Area • Operators • System administrators • Restricted work areas

  31. Equipment Protection • Inventory • Locks and tracing equipment • Data encryption • Disabling I/O ports

  32. Environmental Controls System • Electric power • HVAC • Water / plumbing • Gas • Refrigeration Threat • Loss of power • Overheating • Flood / dripping • Explosion • Leakage

  33. Fire Protection • Prevention – reduce causes • Detection – alert occupants • Suppression – contain or extinguish

  34. Materials and Suppression Agents

  35. Flooding Area Coverage • Water – sprinkler systems • Gas – Halon/CO2/Argon systems • Best practices for systems • Portable extinguishers

  36. Types of Electrical Power Faults • Complete loss of power • Power degradation • Interference (noise) • Grounding

  37. Loss of Electrical Power • UPS • Generators • Goals of power • Power controls

  38. Heating Ventilation Air Condition (HVAC) • Location • Positive pressure • Maintenance

  39. Other Infrastructure Threats • Gas leakage • Water threats

  40. Key Performance Indicators • # of physical security incidents detected • # of false positives for biometrics
