Perimeter Security – Security Fences and Gates

Perimeter security is a foundational component of an organization’s physical security program. For water and wastewater utilities, enforcing stringent access controls is critical for preventing unauthorized access to sensitive sites and safeguarding vital water and wastewater services for the community. Moreover, an effective physical security framework utilizes the five D’s: deter, detect, deny, delay, and defend. These principles offer a roadmap for designing layered defenses that protect both assets and personnel.
