In today's era of digital and complex physical environments coexist, what we are talking about is the area of peripheral security protection, which is important. To put it simply, various effective protection measures should be taken for the boundary range of specific areas or networks. That is to say, keep those bad and harmful things out of this range to ensure the safety of the things inside. This involves the security of many places, whether it is the site of large factories like industrial parks; the cyberspace of data, etc.
First, let’s talk about several common physical peripheral security protection modes.
1. Construction of barrier facilities : Like a fence, it is not ordinary simple fences. The walls used to achieve the purpose of prevention are often very high and sufficiently strong, which is not a joke! Many places use relatively tall and sturdy walls, and some even have special treatments such as barbed designs. For example, some sensitive confidential research institutions use walls that even reach several meters in height, just to prevent outsiders from climbing over.
There is also electric gate, which is very popular now! It has a lot of complex linkage capabilities such as automatic identification, control, and alarm, and is widely used in various corporate parks or high-end residential communities. Some large enterprises have installed smart electric gates in the import and export of parks to intelligently control the entry and exit of visiting vehicles and employee commuting vehicles. 2. Surveillance camera equipment : The camera position layout is focused on one link after another. The coverage without blind spots is a relatively ideal state. Not only is the installation of monitoring at key entrances and exits to facilitate the entry and exit of personnel and vehicles to check and trace later, but also the corners of the park or some blind spots that are easy to ignore must be arranged. A large number of surveillance cameras are distributed near the public aisles and warehouses on all floors of large shopping malls. All day long, ensuring that abnormal movements within the visibility range can be captured at any time. If you choose a good camera type, it will be of great use! There is no controversy over this ordinary wide-angle camera can scan and cover this area. For some special points, such as the thermal imaging type in which the park equipment installation site is dark or at night, it is particularly suitable. With its unique thermal imaging capability, it clearly distinguishes the dynamics around these special periods. Perimeter Security is really allowed to let our business managers sleep well.
Let’s talk about the key points of network peripheral security.
The network firewall is built, and this area is like a solid line of defense between the network and the outside world! You can choose a software firewall, which is installed on servers and computer equipment, occupies system resources, and has sufficient rich firewall rules for flexible adjustment of different communication data control work; in addition, hardware firewalls, physical equipment such as outstanding security performance, are deployed at key entrances and exits of the company's network. Many people use hardware firewalls to resist the threat of frequent access by frequent malicious hackers from outside, and protect the normal communication and access order of valuable data of the enterprise internal business system and data.
Now the Q&A session is starting, asking, "Can you only rely on one aspect to achieve comprehensive peripheral safety? For example, just physical prevention and other things are ignored!" My God, I definitely can't say it, then sure! From a physical perspective, even if the super blocking and defense facilities are set up, if various attack risks are exposed at the network level, then this "enemy" can sneak in from the mesh and steal or destroy data assets; if it is too concentrated to build a virtual network "protection network" and the physical site management is messy, there is no access control at all, and the outside world is free of access control and access without verification. If the Internet is stable, the Internet will be in chaos. Everyone knows this a little bit!
I also asked, "Compared with other regions, such as Europe and Asia, are there any big differences in physical building closure facilities? What do they look like?" Oh, some of these ancient castles in Europe are still left to this day. Some of them still use ancient wall building forms, but at the same time they are improved and renovated and added modern sensors. Equipment that cooperate to protect and maintain their historic style characteristics. If some of our Asian cities, such as new commercial areas and scientific industrial parks, they often emphasize practicality and functionality from the beginning of design and highly concentrated style, the overall is particularly simple and smooth, and has the advantages of high performance protection. It is obvious in large electronic industry entrepreneurship centers in some Asian countries. On the premise of ensuring safety, it is beautiful, generous and practical, and it is a very good model choice!
Let’s ask again, “How to balance the functions and economy in the software selection of security monitoring systems?” From this point of view, some high-end security monitoring software have extremely comprehensive and complete functions including complex behavior analysis, in-depth video mining, and big data correlation tracking. All the high-standard capabilities are included, but the corresponding price is really not low! If you can't bear the financial strength for those small merchants or early-stage teams, then you can choose some open source or shared properties to develop relatively cost-effective tools. As long as you meet the basic surveillance video recording files viewing and playback, there are alarm prompts. Our funds are not very redundant. This is indeed a kind of compromise operational method, providing global procurement services for weak current intelligent products!
From my opinion, the surrounding area is safe, so you must use a variety of protective measures to operate together to ensure reliable results. None of these measures such as physical security and network prevention cannot be ignored. They must work closely together to establish an interrelated system in order to truly prevent and eliminate various potential insecurity risks in advance and achieve the ideal goal of truly long-term stability.
