Methods of Security
Seven types of physical barriers designed to thwart a potential threat are: (1) perimeter security measures, (2) physical barriers (natural or structural), (3) fencing (chain link, barbed wire, top guard), (4) gates, (5) protective lighting, (6) doors, and (7) windows (U.S. Geological Survey Manual, 2018). Of these, I feel that the most important is to have perimeter security measures. Perimeter security measures can include virtually anything that secures a perimeter and can vary in complexity and comprehensiveness—from something as simple as a wall around one’s home to a missile defense shield that protects one’s city or state. Perimeter security measures prevent a physical assault or intrusion from occurring at the front lines. It is the first and in some cases the last line of defense.
Perimeter security also serves as a deterrent as well. One looking to gain entry will not be able to see over a wall in most cases and thus will not know what awaits him on the other side. Scaling a wall can put in a position too from which it is impossible to get out of quickly. Likewise, if a wall has been erected, it is likely that there...
Other lines of defense are likely to exist: the perimeter security indicates as much.
The layer of protection that I feel is least important is protective lighting. While protective lighting can make one feel safe, it does not actually prevent one from gaining access to property or from advancing on property. Lighting my serve as an alarm of sorts if one is paying attention, but unless some other system of alarm is in place, it is not a very viable layer of protection and really only gives a false sense of security to the individual who uses it.
Plus, protecting lighting is only useful for that portion of the day in which the sun is down. When the sun is up, it literally serves no purpose. As Fennelly (2017) notes, protective lighting is helpful but it really should be supported by surveillance systems, as these actually help to identify an intruder, capture the intruder on film, and set off an alarm that can alert security personnel if the threat is identified as real.
Fennelly (2017) points out that “the…
Wall Street Compared to what it looks like and implies today, Wall Street had relatively humble beginnings. Its towering skyscrapers and art Deco architecture, its digital tickers and wireless waves resemble little the original New Amsterdam road. Named after an actual mud -- and timber wall built by original Dutch inhabitants of Manhattan Island, Wall Street has morphed beyond its geographic location, and has come to symbolize American corporate culture in

"Yet earnings estimates have acquired a life of their own and often generate more attention from the media and analysts than a company's actual financial results." (Whalen, 2003). More conservative critics of analyst conflicts rules believe that they are a step in the right direction, but view them as a work in progress. For example, the Sarbanes-Oxley bill, which mandated many improvements in corporate managers' financial practices, did nothing to

The Pentagon's first formal cyber strategy, unclassified portions of which are expected to become public next month, represents an early attempt to grapple with a changing world in which a hacker could pose
