Talk:Physical security
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For discussion on the propsed merger with Central Station, please see its talk page.
Physical Security is the protection of personnel, hardware, programs, networks, and data from physical circumstances and events that could cause serious losses or damage to an enterprise, agency, or institution. This includes protection from fire, natural disasters, burglary, theft, vandalism, and terrorism.
[edit] Island
If I have an small island, then its water all around then it will be physical security because it will be difficult for people to come there, because they want walk, they must swim or use boat or chopper. If I have hungry crocodile in water around island it will be more security. Look picture:

Hello, I do not think that this merge is a good idea at all. No matter what you want to call (Physical Security) wether it be hardware, software, residential or commercial we are still talking about a (Central Station,) not a moat. Security is not the only systems that are monitored by a (Central Station.) There are also fire alarms, building temperature, low water, building controls, and a million things. If anything, the meaning of (Central Station) should be expanded to include all of the other things.
[edit] Proposed Merge
I personally do not see any reason for the two headings to be merged. I cannot even see the comparison the two topics have with each other. I am a new contributor so maybe I am overlooking the "wikipedia" protocol or some other reason for the proposed merge. Anyone want to comment?

- Seems to me that Central Station (Alarm Monitoring Center) has some data that could be used to this article's benefit, but it should still not be merged, as it is an implementation of physical security. If anything, Central Station (Alarm Monitoring Center) should be marked as a stub, and that would be the end of that. -- N3X15 05:05, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with N3X15, Central Station (Alarm Monitoring Center) should be left as a stub. -- Grafikm_fr (AutoGRAF) 13:37, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

If anything, the meaning of (Central Station) should be expanded to include all of the other things that report to them. Eli 6/4/04 Phx.
