Talk:Physical security

message: :For discussion on the proposed merger with Central Station, please see its talk page.
-----
Physical Security is the protection of personnel, hardware, programs, networks, and data from physical circumstances and events that could cause serious losses or damage to an enterprise, agency, or institution. This includes protection from fire, natural disasters, burglary, theft, vandalism, and terrorism.
: Actually, this is more like Business Continuity Planning, in which Physical security plays a role.    I agree absolutely - more needs to be added to the article about physical protections against fires, floods, or other disasters.   Current emphasis of the article is preventing unauthorized access by intruders, but you (whoever you are who responded) are right that there is more to physical security than just that. --74.107.74.39 (talk) 22:22, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

message: If I have an small island, then its water all around then it will be physical security because it will be difficult for people to come there, because they want walk, they must swim or use boat or chopper. If I have hungry crocodile in water around island it will be more security. Look picture:

Hello, I do not think that this merge is a good idea at all. No matter what you want to call (Physical Security) whether it be hardware, software, residential or commercial we are still talking about a (Central Station,) not a moat. Security is not the only systems that are monitored by a (Central Station.) There are also fire alarms, building temperature, low water, building controls, and a million things. If anything, the meaning of (Central Station) should be expanded to include all of the other things.
: Yes and no.   You can still have physical security without a Central Station.   Central Station is just one of many possible solutions (a rather expensive one at that).   This page should not force the reader to assume that it is the only solution.--74.107.74.39 (talk) 00:58, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

message: I personally do not see any reason for the two headings to be merged.  I cannot even see the comparison the two topics have with each other.  I am a new contributor so maybe I am overlooking the "wikipedia" protocol or some other reason for the proposed merge.   Anyone want to comment?

* Seems to me that Central Station (Alarm Monitoring Center) has some data that could be used to this article's benefit, but it should still not be merged, as it is an implementation of physical security. If anything, Central Station (Alarm Monitoring Center) should be marked as a stub, and that would be the end of that. -- N3X15 05:05, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed Merge 

message: I think the article should be about concepts/principles of physical security, not about specific solutions or attempt to become a comprehensive list of physical security technologies and techniques (there are simply too many).   An entire book could be written on the many and varied methods;  and yet this article invites solutions without consideration of the environment, costs, esthetics, or other factors that affect stakeholder decisions.     This article needs to be protected from those who would attempt to use this to advertise specific security products and services.  IMO, Central Station is just another form of solution, but is not required in all cases.   Home security can utilize many of the same basic principles used by banks, large businesses and other sensitive facilities; but there are cost-benefit tradeoffs to consider in both business and personal security situations. --74.107.74.39 (talk) 22:22, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
