In terms of physical security, brute force focuses on the following:

• Forcible Entry
  • Act of gaining unauthorized access to a space by physically breaking or bypassing its barriers, such as windows, doors, or fences
  • Use high-strength doors with deadbolt locks, metal frames, or a solid core
• Tampering with security devices
  • Involves manipulating security devices to create new vulnerabilities that can be exploited
  • To protect against tampering with security devices, have redundancy in physical security measures
• Confronting security personnel
  • Involves the direct confrontation or attack of your organization’s security personnel
  • Security personnel should undergo rigorous conflict resolution and self-defense training to mitigate risks
• Ramming barriers with vehicles
  • Uses a car, truck, or other motorized vehicle to ram into the organization’s physical security barriers such as a fence, a gate, or even the side of your building
  • Install bollards or reinforced barriers to prevent vehicles from driving into your facilities
