Golden Rule No 12
Incorporate Unpredictability in Your Security Measures
While visible security measures serve as deterrents, incorporating an element of surprise in your security systems can significantly enhance their effectiveness.
Here's why:
1. Unpredictable measures keep adversaries guessing, making it harder for them to plan attacks.2. Varied security tactics force potential intruders to constantly adapt, increasing the likelihood of detection or deterrence.3. Covert measures, such as hidden cameras or undercover security personnel, can catch threats off-guard.4. Combining overt and covert security creates a more comprehensive defence strategy.
Consider implementing a mix of visible and concealed security measures, such as:- Covert CCTV cameras alongside visible ones
- Long-range thermal imaging for early detection
- PTZ cameras with built-in radar for perimeter monitoring
- Undercover security personnel blending with the environment
Remember, the goal is to create a security system that's not only robust but also unpredictable to potential threats. |
