-
- Switch deploys a unique system of 5 different layers of Physical Security to ensure that client’s applications are secure:
-
- Physical Security Layer – 1 PERIMETER
Hardened, state-of-the-art, secure facilities.
- Well defined perimeters consisting of signage, blast walls and gates to clear avenues of approach and backup perimeter barriers.
-
- Physical Security Layer – 2 EXTERIOR WALLS
Steel reinforced poured concrete or masonry reinforced beyond building code requirement.
Entry points are kept to a minimum. Each exterior door is reinforced, alarmed, access controlled and viewed by a dedicated fixed camera.
-
- Physical Security Layer – 3 MAN-TRAPS
Specially engineered mantraps built over fire corridor wall construction.
Sheeted with 12 gauge steel and strapped by 1/4” aluminum.
All access points require additional biometric authentication of the card holder.
Controlled via a 24/7 Security Officer and man-trap relay logic. Audio surveillance and fixed cameras viewing every door.
-
- Physical Security Layer – 4 ACCESS CONTROL
Metal walls, turnstiles, cameras, intercoms and biometric readers.
Positive Access Control requires that a 24/7 staffed Security Comm and center officer verifies that the person standing in the mantrap matches a file photo. After confirmation, the officer activates the second proximity and biometric reader for use.
-
- Physical Security Layer – 5 COMPARTMENTED
-
- SPACES/PHYSICAL SECURITY
Every customer space, whether it is a cage, cabinet or suite, is individually locked, protected, and monitored.
-
- SURVEILLANCE
All fixed cameras are high-resolution color (520 lines) with automatic low-light switching, capable of viewing to .1 lux.
Pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras are used on the exterior and areas of sensitivity. All PTZs use up-the-coax protocol for immediate relocation to any fixed camera location.
Video is digitally recorded at 720x240 resolution at 15 images per second (IPS) upon motion or 30 IPS upon operator command.
-
- SENSORS
Detectors are used around the property and provide early warning for perimeter and sensitive area intrusion.
Sensor types include infrared motion, ultrasonic motion, photoelectric motion, electromechanical sensors such as door contacts, internal lock sensors and seismic sensors.
-
- SECURITY STAFF
Switch has a proprietary, fully manned, 24/7 Security Command Center (SECOM).
Security staff members are hired with military and security experience.
A Security Supervisor oversees each shift and reports to the campus Security Manager.
All officers in management positions are required to be active members of ASIS International.
