Our definition of intrusion detection
Intrusion detection is a fundamental pillar of a security system, ensuring the overall protection of a facility. Integrated into the surveillance framework, this system relies on connected sensor networks, including video surveillance, alarms, and motion detectors. Its primary advantage lies in its ability to adapt to the specific structure of each establishment, providing a tailored security solution to effectively counter various threats.
First and foremost, an intrusion detection system allows for the anticipation of intrusion attempts through preventive methods. Therefore, it is crucial to choose the appropriate protection solution, taking into account the establishment’s characteristics, including its size and the sensitive areas that need securing.
The implementation of a customized intrusion detection system must also consider the specific threats the business aims to guard against. This preliminary analysis helps define the optimal level of security required.
Common incidents and risks include:
- Attempted break-ins for theft
- Attacks and acts of vandalism
- Malicious intrusions
- Etc.
When evaluating the effectiveness of the security system, it is essential to consider factors such as the size of the building and the number of employees. Additionally, the value of the assets to be protected and the industry sector determine the importance of the necessary protection and, consequently, the level of demand for the monitoring system required by the business.
