Other Physical Security Tools
New developments in information and communications technology, as well as new demands on security managers, have widened the scope of physical security apparatus.
Fire alarm systems are increasingly becoming based on Internet Protocol, thus leading to them being accessible via local and wide area networks within organisations. Emergency notification is now a new standard in many industries, as well as physical security information management (PSIM). A PSIM application integrates all physical security systems in a facility, and provides a single and comprehensive means of managing all of these resources. It consequently saves on time and cost in the effectual management of physical security.

Famous quotes containing the words physical, security and/or tools:
“... life is moral responsibility. Life is several other things, we do not deny. It is beauty, it is joy, it is tragedy, it is comedy, it is psychical and physical pleasure, it is the interplay of a thousand rude or delicate motions and emotions, it is the grimmest and the merriest motley of phantasmagoria that could appeal to the gravest or the maddest brush ever put to palette; but it is steadily and sturdily and always moral responsibility.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
“The most disgusting cad in the world is the man who, on grounds of decorum and morality, avoids the game of love. He is one who puts his own ease and security above the most laudable of philanthropies.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“No man is born into the world, whose work
Is not born with him; there is always work,
And tools to work withal, for those who will:
And blessèd are the horny hands of toil!”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
