Physical Security and Threats

Physical controls are your first line of defense. 

You work as an independent consultant within physical security, you are hired to choose a location for an IT start company that just received a multi-million dollar government contract to provide cloud services. Although the company will handle non-sensitive information you will provide consultations as the information was sensitive. 

Task:

• Research a real location, a building that is for sale
• Cost of the building?
• Will you use security guards?
  • What area will they monitor?
• What perimeter controls will be used
• What internal controls will be implemented

Tips:

• Google Earth to see the physical layout,
• Zillow 3D is helpful. 
• FEMA Perimeter Security Design
