  • (c) Steel-lined​ -
    • If the load-bearing steel members are being placed in a continuous floor and ceiling of reinforced concrete, they must be firmly affixed to a depth of one-half the thickness of the floor and ceiling. If the floor and/or ceiling construction are less than six inches of reinforced concrete, a steel liner is to be constructed the same as the walls to form the floor and ceiling of the vault. Seams where the steel plates meet horizontally and vertically are to be continuously welded together.​
  • (2) Class B Vaults​ - (a) Monolithic Concrete. ​
    The wall, floor, and ceiling will be a minimum thickness of four inches of monolithic concrete.​
  • (2) Class B Vaults​ - (b) Masonry Units. ​
    The wall will be brick, concrete block, or other masonry units not less than eight inches thick. The wall will extend to the underside of the roof slab above (from the true floor to the true ceiling). Hollow masonry units shall be the vertical-cell type (load bearing) filled with concrete and metal reinforcement bars. The floor and ceiling must be of a thickness determined by structural requirements, but not less than four inches of monolithic concrete construction.​
  • (3) Class C Vaults​ -
    • The floor and ceiling must be of a thickness determined by structural requirements, but not less than four inches of monolithic concrete construction. Walls must be not less than eight inches thick concrete block or hollow-clay tile or other masonry units. The wall will extend to the underside of the roof slab above (from the true floor to the true ceiling).​
  • STRONGROOMS​ - A. Purpose​
    • A strongroom is an enclosed space constructed of solid building materials. ​
    • Strongrooms are normally used for the storage for classified material or sensitive materials, such as firearms. ​
  • Strongrooms -
    • Protection is normally supplemented by guards or alarm systems. Rooms that have false ceilings and walls constructed of fibrous materials, and other modular or lightweight materials, cannot qualify as strongrooms.​
  • B. Construction Standards​ - (1) The perimeter walls, floors, and ceiling will be permanently constructed and attached to each other. ​
    All construction must be done in a manner as to provide visual evidence of unauthorized penetration. Heavy-duty builder's hardware shall be used in construction. ​
    All screws, nuts, bolts, hasps, clamps, bars hinges, and pins should be securely fastened to preclude surreptitious entry. Hardware accessible from outside the strongroom must be peened, brazed, or spot-welded to preclude removal.​
  • INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM​ -
    •  is a device or software application that monitors a network or systems for malicious activity or policy violations and produces reports to a management station.​
  • INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM​ -
    • It is very similar to a house alarm system which will sound an alarm if an intruder attempts to break into a window or a door. ​
    • For example, if a hacker attempts to gain access to your computer or network, the intrusion detection system will immediately notify the network administrator of the attempted security breach. Once reported, the manager can pinpoint the exact location of the suspicious activity and follow the proper safety protocols.​
  • INTRUSION PREVENTION​ -
    • Some systems may attempt to stop an intrusion attempt but this is neither required nor expected of a monitoring system. ​
    • Intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) are primarily focused on ​
    • identifying possible incidents, ​
    • logging information about them, ​
    • and reporting attempts. ​
  • INTRUSION PREVENTION​ -
    • In addition, organizations use IDPS for other purposes, such as​
    • identifying problems with security policies,​
    •  documenting existing threats and ​
    • deterring individuals from violating security policies.​
    •  IDPS have become a necessary addition to the security infrastructure of nearly every organization.​
  • INTRUSION PREVENTION​ -
    • In addition, organizations use IDPS for other purposes, such as​
    • identifying problems with security policies,​
    •  documenting existing threats and ​
    • deterring individuals from violating security policies.​
  • INTRUSION PREVENTION​ - IDPS have become a necessary addition to the security infrastructure of nearly every organization.​
  • INTRUSION PREVENTION​ -
    • Alarm systems are designed to alert security personnel of an actual or attempted intrusion into an area while also providing deterrence to intrusion.​
    • These warning systems detect intrusion or attempts, not prevent them.​
    • Any alarm system requires an assessment and a response capability to provide real protection for an area. ​
  • INTRUSION PREVENTION​ -
    • All system have weak points by which their functioning can be minimized or even completely interrupted or circumvented.​
    • The advantage and limitations of a variety of detection systems are described below.​
  • PLANNING ALARM INSTALLATIONS​ -
    • Alarms are used to detect approach or intrusion.​
    • Some are intended for exterior protection, and some are suitable only for indoor installations. ​
  • SENSORS​ -
    • The three basic types of sensors are​
    1. Perimeter​
    2. Volumetric​
    3. Proximity​
  • PERIMETER​ -
    • Perimeter protection is the first line of defense. ​
    • The most common point for sensing devices are door, windows, vents, and skylights. These maybe protected with detectors sensing their opening or breaking.​
    • The major advantage of perimeter-protection sensing devices is their simple design.​
  • PERIMETER​ -
    • The major disadvantage is that they protect only openings such as doors or windows. ​
    • If intrusion occurs through a wall or ceiling, these devices are ineffective
  • A.SWITCHES​ -
    • These devices are usually magnetic operated switches affixed to a door or window in such a way that opening  the door or window removes the magnetic field causing an alarm. ​
    • High security switches are normally balanced or biased magnetic switches.​
  • B. METALLIC FOIL​ -
    • Metallic foil window tape is the traditional means for detecting glass breakage. ​
    • Strips of thin foil are affixed to a glass surface.​
    • Breaking the glass also fracture the foil, which interrupts the circuit causing an alarm.​
    • It deteriorates with time and may require frequent maintenance, especially on glass doors where it can be easily damaged.​
