Security of Sensitive Areas in Working Hours —: the New Philosophy

Abstract

Up to about 1971, security thinking was concentrated on providing perimeter protection of buildings, out of working hours, when the building was virtually empty — except perhaps a guard or two — with the aim of preventing intrusion by anyone, if possible; and fitting sensors within to detect any intruder who nevertheless succeeded in penetrating — to alert the security lodge, the police or a central station.
