Method for Modeling and Testing a Security System

Abstract

A method of designing, modeling and testing a security system for protecting a defined security area. The method includes modeling the security area, modeling the security system for the security area, and testing the security system using a computer to run various breach scenarios to determine weaknesses in the security system. The testing may be in the form of a computer game with one or more players implementing the models and scenarios or in real-time.

1 . A method of training personnel in the use of a security system, comprising: 
 a) selecting a breach scenario for the security system; and    b) responding to the breach scenario using a computer.    
   
   
       2 . The method of claim  21  further comprising selecting one or more parameters to promote realism for the training.  
   
   
       3 . The method of claim  21 , wherein the training is implemented on a computer of an actual security system.  
   
   
       4 . The method of claim  21 , wherein the training is implemented on a computer having programmed thereon a model of the security system.
