US Dept. of Homeland Security Chemical Facility Anti–Terrorism Standards
Chemical Facility Anti–Terrorism Standards (CFATS) requires "high–risk" chemical facilities to enhance security and establish new procedures for protecting chemical facility operations and information. CFATS covers the full spectrum of a sound security protocol deter, detect, delay and respond.
Wireless and CFATS
Wireless technologies allow you to deploy applications that could never be deployed using cables. In addition, the US Department of Energy has studied the role of wireless technology in securing industrial facilities and has found that a wireless infrastructure can be deployed at 10-20% of the cost of wired systems. More importantly, these wireless systems can installed in less than 10% of the time of wired systems – with only about 5-10% of the operational impact on the organization.
