Hello,
I recently joined this forum after a friend tipped me off.
I'm a bachelor's student of software engineering, and we're doing our final year project on data center service management system.
My part is to take care of all the physical security related aspects. I've been searching the web and different document to find and list what to included in the abstract term 'physical security'.
Uptill now, I've included the following items to use in my software for physical security monitoring.
1- Intruder Detection via:
i- Motion Detection
ii- doors lock detection
iii- window-break detectors
2- An employee entering a section of the data center unauthorized.
3- Steps to take in case of emergency, i.e. how to protect the building incase it has to be evacuated etc.
4- fire protection mechanism (i'm using some abstract things i know, i.e. to shut down the sytems in the room, check the room has no employees, lock down the doors, and fire up the fire extinguishers).
Can anyone please point me in some right direction regarding physical security, so i know what things to include in the physical security/monitoring of our data center management system?
Thank you in advance.
