Perimeter security can be defined as the measures and systems which are deployed in order to protect
a physical space from intrusion, unauthorized access or any kind of security breaches. Perimeter security
involves a wide array of physical and technological methods which are utilized to secure a property of
facility aiming to detect, deter and respond to the threats before those threats can even get/penetrate
that particular secured area/space. The primary objective of perimeter security is to safeguard assets,
information or people within that secured perimeter. Basically, perimeter security acts as the first line of
defense from security breaches and unlawful activities. The global perimeter security market was valued
around USD 76 billion in 2023. The global perimeter security market is expected to grow around USD
151 billion by 2033 growing at a CAGR of 7.1%.

The importance of the perimeter security can’t be ignored in the current situation. Perimeter security is
crucial for military, government organizations and other business enterprises alike to detect potential
threats, deter the possible intruders, and delay the illegal attempts which the intruders make while
breaching in a secured area/perimeter. Additionally, perimeter security maintains the operational
continuity within these organizations. To prevent unauthorized entry to the premises, high-security
associations, commercial centers, government facilities and other organizations can establish a physical
barrier utilizing detection and deterrence techniques. Traditional perimeter security systems may
encompass electrified fences along with other preventative measures such as CCTV security system and
intruder alarms.
