Layering Physical Security: Ensuring Comprehensive Facility Protection

The 2024 GSX Conference in Orlando, Florida showcased several informative presentations for those interested in exploring new security technology, products, and services. Robin Rice, Customer Success Director at SoundThinking, spoke about layering physical security, including the best practices for comprehensive facility protection, and how AI-driven weapons detection systems can work as part of the layering in various entrance settings.

Physical Security Layering

The session titled “Layering Physical Security: Ensuring Comprehensive Protection” included an overview of the layers of physical security, the implementation steps for the layers, a risk assessment to determine the necessary layers, and an overall security roadmap to illuminate how the security layers work together for comprehensive facility protection. The conversation focused on the innovative use of Magnetic Moment technology, which ensures non-intrusive, safe detection for vulnerable populations, including those with medical devices, while maintaining high accuracy in identifying threats.

The presentation will also touch on the various aspects of technology-driven platforms and physical security. Stressing the importance of risk assessment as part of the implementation steps for any security layer will share why the security roadmap is crucial. With an overview of the roadmap and the various aspects of security that comprise the security layers, Robin will include the important security layer of weapons detection and note how artificial intelligence and machine learning work in detecting weapons.
