SECURITY

CATEGORIES OF SECURITY

- PHYSICAL SECURITY – System or barrier placed between the installation and documents and
would be intruders.
- PERSONNEL SECURITY – In the intelligence point of view is the prevention of unsuitable
individuals or persons with doubtful loyalty to the Philippine government from gaining
access to classified matters or being appointed, employed in an organization involving
security of the state.

CONCEPT OF PHYSICAL SECURITY

- Enemy agent must have access – In most cases of espionage, acquisition of information is
the ultimate result. The means and the form how information can be acquired are merely
operational details. Normally, information on films or tapes is as useable as an original
document, therefore, in considering access, one should not only think of physical access but
must also think of access to discussion by using listening devices.
- There is no impenetrable barrier – An unfriendly government or organization will spend and
devote money, time, and effort, even personnel, to pass all established barriers to acquire
ultimate result.
- Surreptitious vs. Non-surreptitious entry – Surreptitious entry is the greatest hazed in
countering espionage. Surreptitious entry is difficult to be detected and it makes espionage
hard to neutralize.
- Each installation is different – Every installation has different physical security problem
