  • As new technologies emerge and threats become increasingly complex and unpredictable, security professionals who are living in the age of information face an increasingly complex array of challenges. In recent, virtually all organizations with physical and IT assets protect those assets in a variety of methods. There are physical systems to protect facilities and their contents from unlawful trespassing. It is important to note that the integration of physical and IT security is to be required: When done correctly, the integration starts with laws, strategies, policies and procedures. Integration of physical and IT security systems is done not for its own sake but in support of security policies and procedures. Significant security improvements can be made by integrating physical and IT security management without necessarily integrating physical and logical electronic security systems. Up to now, the private security industries of the Republic of Korea have been operated and developed by the separation of physical security and industrial security. However, considering the fast changing security environments, physical security companies should turn their attention to security convergence field to cope with the new trends in the security matters. At the same time, governmental supports on the improvement of various laws, regulations and policies in such a way to meet the realistic needs of the industries should be followed.

  • The pivotal emphasis of the physical training for the security agents of the security headquarters in the North Korea is to inspire them with the defense physical training-centered ideology and the war spirit. Their special martial arts is the protectee-centered offensive arts rather than the self-centered arts. It puts emphasis on training black belt-holders in diverse martial arts rather than in a certain martial art. Thus, the physical training for security agents in the South Korea should be also developed into the ways to rear them as black belt-holders in diverse martial arts rather than to foster them as high grade-holders in a certain martial art. And also, professors majoring in security and physical science have to develop jointly the measures to improve the physical and mental agility and the basic physical strength to inspire rapid handling and perseverance, to develop the physical training program to reduce mental and physical stress of security guards, to develop the standard for the examination of physical strength suitable for the body figures of Korean people and the regular evaluation with the standard and to apply traditional folk-games such as the swing and the seesaw to the physical training for security guards.

  • In this paper, we present a survey of security and privacy preserving issues in M2M communications in Cyber-Physical Systems. First, we discuss the security challenges in M2M communications in wireless networks of Cyber-Physical Systems and outline the constraints, attack issues, and a set of challenges that need to be addressed for building secure Cyber-Physical Systems. Then, a secure architecture suitable for Cyber-Physical Systems is proposed to cope with these security issues. Eventually, the corresponding countermeasures to the security issues are discussed from four aspects: access control, intrusion detection, authentication and privacy preserving, respectively. Along the way we highlight the advantages and disadvantages of various existing security schemes and further compare and evaluate these schemes from each of these four aspects. We also point out the open research issues in each subarea and conclude with possible future research directions on security in Cyber-Physical Systems. It is believed that once these challenges are surmounted, applications with intrinsic security considerations will become immediately realizable.

  • From public insecurity, access of wealth, alteration of population structure, and changes of security recognition, physical security has been continuously developed and changed. In these days, typical systems for physical security are unmanned security system using telephone network and security equipment, image recognition system using DVR and camera, and access control system by finger print recognition and RFID cards. However, physical security system is broadening its domain towards ICT based convergence with networked camera, biometrics, individual authentication, and LBS services. This paper proposes main technical trends and various security convergences for future physical security services by classifying the security categories into 3 parts; Individual security for personal protection, IT Convergence for large buildings, and Homeland Security for omni-directional security.

  • The purpose of this paper is to take a look the effect of the physical security level of companies possessing national core technology on security performance and work efficiency. To this end, a survey was set out for about 200 security officers for a month. In the survey, the independent variable was physical security level, the parameter was security performance, and the dependent variable was work efficiency. Reliability analysis, validity analysis, discriminant validity analysis, etc. were analyzed for causality through SPSS. As a result, "Physical Security Level ⇒ Security Performance, Security Performance ⇒ Work Efficiency" was adopted, but "Physical Security Level ⇒ Work Efficiency" was rejected. Therefore, it was found that the physical security level affects work efficiency through security performance, which is a parameter. However, it was found that the physical security level did not directly affect work efficiency. In order to improve work efficiency in the future, improving security performance should be a priority.

  • In the domestic physical security (mechanical security) market, there is an increasing variation in the expansion of security areas due to the infrastructure of large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises. In other words, problems related to on-site dispatch between companies are constantly being raised due to the limitation of physical security service s to the scope of dispatch according to the dispatch time. Therefore, in this study, based on the results of the criteria for the scope of dispatch as a criterion for dispatch time through simulations related to on-site dispatch, we propose a plan to activate the physical security (mechanical security) market in the future.

  • Physical security protecting people from physical threats, such as a person or vehicle, has received a great attention. However, it has many risks of hacking and other security threats because it is highly dependent on automated management systems. In addition, a representative system of physical security, a CCTV control system has a high risk of hacking, such as video interceptions or video modulation. So physical security needs urgent security measures in accordance with these threats. In this paper, we examine the case of security threats that have occurred in the past, prevent those from threatening the physical security, and analyze the security problem with the threats. Then we study the countermeasures to prevent these security threats based on the problems found in each case. Finally we study for the method to apply these countermeasures.

  • Recently, many domestic and foreign industries is increasing gradually in the importance of security such as the emergence of a Convergence Information Technology(internet of things, cloud computing service, big data etc). Among these techniques, the industrial security market is expected to grow gradually and the evolution of security technologies, as well as vulnerabilities are also expected to increase. Therefore, an increase in physical vulnerability factors it is no exaggeration to standards that are determining the security of industrial security. In this paper will be analyzed to the physical security technology and case study, physical vulnerability factor. Thereby this is expected to be utilized as a basis for the countermeasure of physical corresponding infringement and attack in a future.

  • Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) are the most protected facilities among all critical infrastructures (CIs). In addition to physical security, cyber security becomes a significant concern for NPPs since swift digitalization and overreliance on computer-based systems in the facility operations transformed NPPs into targets for cyber/physical attacks. Despite technical competencies, humans are still the central component of a resilient NPP to develop an effective nuclear security culture. Turkey is one of the newcomers in the nuclear energy industry, and Turkish Akkuyu NPP has a unique model owned by an international consortium. Since Turkey has limited experience in nuclear energy industry, specific multinational and multicultural characteristics of Turkish Akkuyu NPP also requires further research in terms of the Facility's prospective nuclear security. Yet, the link between "national cultures" and "nuclear security" is underestimated in nuclear security studies. By relying on Hofstede's national culture framework, our research aims to address this gap and explore possible implications of cross-national cultural differences on nuclear security. To cope with security challenges in the age of hybrid threats, we propose a security management model which addresses the need for cyber-physical security integration to cultivate a robust nuclear security culture in a multicultural working environment.

  • Today's security initiatives tend to integrate the physical and information securities which have been run by completely separate departments. That is, the converged security management becomes the core in the security market trend. However, to the best of our knowledge, we cannot find any solutions how to combine these two security events for the converged security. In this paper, we propose an information security object-driven approach which utilizes the physical security events to enhance and improve the information security. For scalability, we also present a systematic method using the analytic hierarchy process finding the meaningful event combinations among the large number of physical security events. In particular, we show the whole implementation processes in detail where we consider the information security object 'illegal computing system access' combined with two physical security devices - access controller and CCTV+video analyzer system.
