Section III. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
1-17. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION. ICIDS is a system of intrusion detection equipment that provides an early warning
indication of intrusion attempts to a central monitoring location. ICIDS is installed to enhance the physical security of
sites and assets. ICIDS is used by security forces as the principal element for intrusion detection. ICIDS components
are configured based on the required site level of protection.
Protection of assets consists of three functions. They are (1) intrusion detection within a specified area, (2) delay of
intruders once the protected zone has been penetrated, and (3) assessment of the intrusion and deciding the type of
security force response required to prevent asset compromise.
ICIDS provides early warning of attempted actions against a protected asset by an intruder. Intrusion into an area may
be attempted by forced entry, covert entry, or insider compromise. These tactics can be performed separately or in
combination. Intruders may be motivated to steal. sabotage, or learn about the protected asset.
ICIDS equipment functions are briefly described here with more detailed information provided in the following
paragraphs.
