Physical Security Measures: A Case Study of Extreme Corporation

This presentation explores the physical security measures taken by Extreme Corporation, a world leader in advanced tactical drones. It discusses the physical security risks faced by the corporation, including theft and terrorism, as well as insider threats by system engineers and data warehouse admins. The presentation also outlines the physical security measures used by the corporation, including access control, security patrols, and encryption. It concludes with recommendations for improving security and preventing natural disasters.

PHYSICAL SECURITY MEASURES: A CASE STUDY OF EXTREME CORPORATION

INTRODUCTION
 Physical security designed to deny unauthorized access to the
facilities, equipments in addition to resources from damage
and harm.
 Based on physical security measures for Extreme Corporation,
which is world leader into advanced tactical drones.
 As the corporation is produced of state-of-the-art military
equipments, then its new complex consists of security
measures.

PHYSICAL SECURITY RISKS IN EXTREME CORPORATION (EC)
 The physical security is important for the
corporation as it demands of hardware assets as
well as infrastructure as its operation demands that
the infrastructure they run should be kept away
from anything which would hinder its functions.
 It includes of tampering by the unauthorized
personnel.

PHYSICAL SECURITY RISKS
 Theft of military equipments: EC may be at greater risk of the
physical security attacks as compared to hackers, as data value
and value of the physical equipments provide criminals as dual
motivation (Wang, Hao, & Hanzo, 2016).
 Terrorism: It is use of violence to create terror among the
masses of people into and outside of the building.
 Unauthorized access: The employees of corporation gains of
unauthorized access to the data backup facilities (Xie et al.,
2016).

INSIDER THREATS BY SYSTEM ENGINEERS AND DATA
WAREHOUSE ADMINS
 The insider threat is related to data breach and violation of data
storage policies.
 The incidents of data breaches involve with insider profile which
is results of taking of information outside from the office.
 The insider losses of the media storage devices and the data
breaches cause damage throughout corporate espionage.

PHYSICAL SECURITY MEASURES
 Access control: This control prevents the physical attacks which prevents
from unauthorized access to the physical data to secure areas as well as
prevent from the physical theft.
 Security lightning: It is one of the effective physical security measures
where the intruders are less entered well into the lightning area for being fear
to be seen.
 Security patrols: As the company is produced of military equipments,
therefore there should be strict security patrols management software which
offer them possibility to send of immediate alerts in case there is danger
(Win, Tianfield, & Mair, 2014).

PHYSICAL SECURITY MEASURES
(CONTD.)
 Encryption: It is a process to encode the message as well as information in a
way where only the authorized person can access to the data and information
which are sensitive in addition to confidential (Puthal et al., 2015).
 Alarm system: This security measures help to design deny unauthorized
access to the facilities, equipments as well as resources for protecting the
personnel as well as property from being damage and harm.
 Building access control barriers: It consists of electronic management to
enter the building throughout the door and gates (Sahai & Waters, 2014).

RECOMMENDATIONS
 There should be security measures to assist into detecting,
tracking as well as monitoring of the intruders.
 The organization should implement of physical security
policies that the building site should safeguard in such a way
that it minimizes risks of resources theft as well as destruction.
 The natural disaster should be prevented, controlled as well as
minimized for extending feasible by use of detection of
equipments such as sensors.

CONCLUSION
 There is controlled access to the building for everyone.
 The conference and sales area requires controlled
access. There are secured area for the system
designers and area to house the data center.
 It helps to provide secure transfer of backup data from
one computer to other, as well as they are secured
access to the internet for the employees.
