What is perimeter security?
This term applies to
measures taken to ensure that only authorised personnel can enter a
certain outside area. We usually refer to this within the context of
business security systems.
So what would be some examples?
The perfect example would be the grounds of a commercial establishment such as a warehouse or factory. But it could just as easily apply to shops or small business premises with nothing but a back yard.

Ok - but why is it so important?
The answer to this question will probably depend both upon your point of view and the type of business you own. many business owners will respond to any question regarding security with the answer "that's why I take out insurance". But of course the cost of this insurance can be minimised by ensuring you have adequate security in the first place.
And perimeter security is the first issue to address - and very possibly the easiest and cheapest. The prevention of break in or intrusion starts at your premises perimeter as to making a simple statement - "you will not find this easy!". The hardened criminal will find a way to get in if at all possible but most will turn away if any difficulty is envisaged.
