The Balancing Act

• Security • Balancing Openness and Public Safety

• Applying new technologies and lessons learned

• Improving the physical security of buildings

• Protecting people and assets while maintaining a pleasant work environment.

• The challenge facing government officials, realtors and corporate building owners.

Security….”The Absolutes”

• Our world is dangerous and will get more dangerous

• We take security for granted till something goes wrong.

• Security is inconvenient- and expensive

• Paranoid or Prepared? Politics!

• Constant vigilance – Almost overwhelming!

• 100%, guaranteed security ?? No such thing !

• 100% security = 0% accessibility

• 100% security = 0% productivity

• Buildings must be functional, comfortable, inspirational – SAFE

• You don’t design a building for security. You secure the design of a building

• Rethinking Security – new meaning to architects

Architects and Security

Security Elements

• Deterrence• Training, Fences, Signage, Lighting,

Consequences

• Delay• Locks, Doors

• Detection• Alarms, CCTV, Metal Detectors, Motion & Sound

Sensors

• Communication• Voice, Data, Video

• Response• Crisis Preparedness, Security Personnel, Police

Access Control Defined

• WHO?

• WHERE? / WHAT?

• WHEN? / TIME?

The WHO

• The person, or device, requesting access to an area, or asset, we want to control.

• Authentication Methods

…something the person / device…• HAS – Physical • KNOWS – Knowledge of• IS / ARE – Biometric

The WHERE / WHAT

• The place or process we want to allow authorized persons to get to.

• Physical and Logical

• Controlled or Restricted area

• As it relates to both manual and electronic access controls this is critical to our access management plan

• Vending, gas dispensing, copier machine usage, time and attendance, meal plans and more

The WHEN

• The time period or interval when access is granted or denied.

• Can be managed with both on line and off line systems

• Also used for setting events and logic statements for:

• Triggers • Time Zones• Timing responses to alarms• Timing for routing of messages to other devices

Access Control Defined

• WHO?

• WHERE? / WHAT?

• WHEN? / TIME?

Access Control is…

AS SIMPLE AS A KEY

• Knowing exactly who has keys• Knowing areas of access of each key holder• Knowing key blanks are not readily available• Knowing keys cannot be copied without proper

authorization• Having a policy on lost keys• When issuing temporary use of keys, keeping record trail

Unauthorized key duplication remains the most violated security policy and one of the largest

problem of facility managers

Homeland Security Presidential Directive/Hspd-12 Subject: Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors

(1) Wide variations in the quality and security of forms of identification used to gain access to secure Federal and other facilities where there is potential for terrorist attacks need to be eliminated. Therefore, it is the policy of the United States to enhance security, increase Government efficiency, reduce identity fraud, and protect personal privacy by establishing a mandatory, Government-wide standard for secure and reliable forms of identification issued by the Federal Government to its employees and contractors (including contractor employees).

Access Control Panel Operation

• Card is presented data sent to Panel

• Panel compares information

• Grants/Denies access• Based on Card Status

• Time of Day

• Cardholder’s access privileges

• Other Administrator selected features

Access Control Panels

• Contain Microprocessors • On-board Random Access Memory (RAM)

• Upgradeable Software stored in Erasable Program Read Only Memory (EPROM)

• System Administrator or authorized web client enters all information related to system at host computer or direct to board via web with on board software in panel

• Information may be downloaded to Access Control Panel’s RAM

Access Control Panels

• Once downloaded/programmed a Panel can process information locally.

• “Intelligent” panels inform the Host of all actions taken, including time and date• Often referred to as “distributed processing”

• Saves Host processing time

Access Control Panel Operations

• May be configured many ways• Can store thousands & some users are requiring

Millions of records!

• Multiple access levels

• Time Zones

• Thousands of historical transactions

• Quantum leaps in storage abound

Access Control Panel Operations

• Can support Inputs• Can detect an input’s change of state, process the

information and report it to the host computer/ or web based client on alarm

• Typical Inputs include door monitor and request to exit (or bypass) devices

• Can support Outputs• Door locking mechanisms• Sound or broadcast alarm devices

• Lights, sirens, bells, digital dialers, etc.• Can be programmed so an Input activates or deactivates

outputs automatically• Example: Glass break sensor (input) might activate a

siren (output)

Access Control Panel Wiring

Access Control Panel Wiring

• Three different approaches to cabling of readers• Bus Cabling

• Readers can be wired to a common cable that runs back to the panel

• Saves wiring costs when readers are close to each other

• Star Cabling

• Readers can be wired to the panel individually

• Combination Bus and Star sometimes is best

• Independent IP / Network Drop communications via Network

Access Control Panel Trends

• Distributed intelligence

• Embedded software – web enabled data management

• FIPS- 201 for Federal Employees

• Full feature set resident at the local panel

• POTS pack up / cellular back up

• HiCap memory backup

• On line and off line capacity

• Bio-metric / Smartcard

• Integrated into lock hardware

Convergence

Analog to IP (Security to IT)Applications ConvergencePhysical and Cyber

“Soon the security industry will move to systems in which there are no analog or proprietary wired devices at all; where all

devices connect to the Ethernet infrastructure. The knowledge of how to design efficient network systems and how to secure those systems is paramount to successful security systems.

This is the future of security technology”

Reduce security vulnerabilities in all types of facilities.

The industry's first-ever guide for exterior and interior security features, NFPA 730: Guide for Premises Security addresses security in all occupancies from residential dwellings to large industrial complexes. Uniform guidelines help you assess vulnerability and design appropriate security plans.

Provisions describe construction, protection, and occupancy features and practices intended to reduce security risks to life and property. Topics covered include:

General requirements and facility classifications Security vulnerability assessment Exterior security devices and systems Physical security devices Interior security systems Security planning

Measures to control security vulnerabilities in educational, healthcare, and other facilities

The Guide also addresses protocols for special events, and the responsibilities of security personnel. (Approx. 88 pp., 2006)

Resources

Ensure the quality and reliability of security system installations

NFPA 731; Installation of Electronic Premises Security Systems is the first Standard developed primarily to define the means of signal initiation, transmission, notification, and annunciation, as well as the levels of performance and the reliability of electronic security systems.

Requirements cover every step of security equipment installation, with provisions for the application, location, performance, testing, and maintenance of physical security systems and their components.

Detailed chapters are included for:Intrusion detection systems Electronic access control systems Video surveillance systems Holdup, duress, and ambush systems Testing and inspection

Rules address the protected premises from the property line to the interior of the premises. NFPA 731 also references or incorporates provisions from applicable UL, SIA, and other standards. (Approx. 43 pp., 2006)

Resources

ETHICS IN SECURITY

• Perform professional duties in accordance with the law and the highest moral principles.

• Observe the precepts of truthfulness, honesty, and integrity.

• Be faithful, competent, and diligent in discharging their professional duties.

• Safeguard confidential and privileged information and exercise due care to prevent its improper disclosure.

• Not maliciously injure the professional reputation or practice of colleagues, clients, or employees.
