"In a world where the crime rate is increasing day by day, we cannot compromise security, even in our homes. Then, how can we tolerate to lose or allow criminals to damage industrial property? Keeping in mind the sensitivity of the industrial plants, one cannot take the risk of failed security. Therefore, industrial safety and security must be ensured. Industrial security is an enhanced version, and it involves a comprehensive approach towards the solution. Industrial, in simple words, defines a standard that you have to meet by taking appropriate measures, routines, and procedures. In other words, we can see also that industrial security is a means to secure and protect the working environment, which may include industrial systems, materials, classified information, etc. Other important things for which industrial security accommodates include workers, industrial plants and machines, and many other related items. Industrial security needs proper planning and analysis. The services may differ from place to place. However, the basic procedure and the purpose remain the same, to ensure smooth operation at all times. The present book focuses on analysis of threats, gives practical examples and guides to security standards and guides, and points the way to improving the overall issue of security. It deals with issues of planning, response, and strategies to implement and improve physical security in manufacturing and chemical facilities, and it can be used as a textbook for teaching the subject of industrial security"-- Back cover.
