Physical security is not only huge man power, high rise walls or barrier, wire fencing or CCTV setups. Physical security is a lot more than this. The point of physical security is not only aimed to safeguard or protect any facility or asset. Most people would think that physical security is all about protecting things by using some physical human resources or using materials which ensure security and safety of things. But according to Smiths and Brooks, physical security is the collaboration of human, systems and machines which is incorporated for protection when there is potential chance of threat or risk. The complete intention of physical security is to be prepared to combat and eliminate any threat (Smith & Brooks, 2013).
