Which measures are used to prevent a facility assault?

• A. Only training
• B. Random checks with no systems
• C. High-quality, effective and visible security measures, alert systems, perimeter controls, or appropriate warning techniques
• D. Delayed response measures

Answer: (C)

Preventing a facility assault relies on a layered, proactive defense that makes it hard for someone to breach a site and ensures rapid detection and response. The best approach combines high-quality, effective and visible security measures with alert systems, perimeter controls, and appropriate warning techniques. Visible security acts as a deterrent and sets expectations for behavior; alert systems provide fast notification to staff and responders; perimeter controls physically restrict access and guide movement; warning techniques communicate imminent risk to would-be attackers and to occupants, buying time for a response. Training alone isn’t enough without physical and procedural safeguards, and random checks with no systems lack consistency and fail to provide ongoing protection or timely alerts. Delayed response measures hinder any chance to prevent an assault once it starts.
