HIGH PROFILE FACILITIES SECURITY
Why do you need it?
In the last few years, we have witnessed a rise in attacks against Jewish and western facilities and locations around the world.
The attacks are being carried out by several elements:
- Terror
- Hate crimes
- Mentally ill attackers
Due to the profiles of the attackers, law enforcement agencies will have no intelligence nor warning in advance.
To minimize the chances of these attacks, Etos has developed a highly effective method for increasing the level of security at facilities.
The primary purpose of this method is to prevent the attacker from accessing a secure facility and the public by providing protocols and procedures and placing technological and physical means, while at the same time producing an emergency plan aimed to protect people.
THE ETOS METHOD
- DETECT - IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL THREATS, RISKS, DANGERS, AND LOOPHOLES
The first objective of an effective security measure is the detection of potential security threats, risks, hazards, and gaps.
We define what must be protected and then identify exposures, vulnerabilities, and threats to those assets.
- DETERRENCE - DISCOURAGE POTENTIAL THREATS, RISKS, AND DANGERS
The second phase of a highly effective security measure is to deter threats according to the results of your extensive risk assessment.
This involves the physical display of the security measures in place within the premises to clearly announce to potential attackers that the target facility is highly secured.
The overt presence of security guards and their actions, CCTV cameras, electric fences, and other security measures serve as warning signals to deter attackers. The goal is to keep attackers away!
- DELAY - INTERRUPT POTENTIAL THREATS, RISKS, AND DANGERS
The third phase of a highly effective security measure is to delay threats.
To delay means to forestall an eventual outcome. In this case, it means to delay unwanted attacks that can lead to the loss of lives.
Security measures must be in place to ensure that clients are shielded from attacks through delay mechanisms.
The more obstacles, the more the people are protected from threats, risks, and dangers.
- DEFENSIVELY - DISRUPT POTENTIAL THREATS, RISKS, AND DANGERS
The fourth phase of a highly effective security measure is defensive. Despite all the physical displays of the existence of security measures in a facility, human error or relative advantage can cause the attacker to enter the secure facility.
If the attacker was still able to enter the facility, we must establish an emergency plan. The plan will allow a time to react until law enforcement forces arrive at the scene.
- IMPLEMENTATION OF PROCEDURES AND TRAINING
The fifth phase is the implementation phase of the various methods and protocols written to manage the security in the facility.
At this point, we will be briefing employees and those with specific roles defined in the plans on how to operate the security procedures in different scenarios and according to the various emergency procedures.
