ATLANTA - GeorgiaChron -- Imagine a security system that blends seamlessly with a building's design, deterring threats without sacrificing aesthetics. This is the realm of physical security design engineering, a field that merges engineering principles with risk assessment to create secure spaces.

Security threats come in many forms, from theft to vandalism to terrorism. Physical security design engineers conduct risk assessments to identify potential vulnerabilities and design systems to mitigate them. This might involve blast-resistant walls for government buildings or secure storage cages for sensitive materials.

A prevailing myth about the Physical Security design process is that a consultant can begin their involvement with the project after 35% design of the project is complete. This is too late though, as by this time, sites have been selected and laid out, and the building structural and envelope systems have already been selected.

Risk assessment forms the basis for physical security and bomb blast design. Assets should be categorized and prioritized, threats should be identified regarding aggressors and potential tactics, and you must be aware of any vulnerabilities that could be exploited by these aggressors.
