while almost every building incorporates
[8]
elements to keep its occupants contents
[11]
and the built asset itself safe some
[14]
buildings take security to the extreme
[22]
from underground military bunkers and
[25]
gold reserves to historic and rarely
[28]
accessed religious archives these are
[31]
the world's most secure buildings built
[40]
adjacent to the Cheyenne Mountain Air
[42]
Force Base and at a depth of six hundred
[45]
and ten meters below ground the Cheyenne
[48]
Mountain complex in Colorado acted as
[50]
the Center for NORAD and the United
[52]
States Space Command monitoring North
[55]
American airspace for Soviet missiles
[57]
and aircraft throughout the Cold War
[60]
consisting of a labyrinth of tunnels and
[63]
15 buildings mounted on shock-absorbing
[66]
Springs the facility is capable of
[68]
withstanding and remaining operational
[70]
in the event of a 30 Megaton nuclear
[73]
blast and is protected by a series of 25
[76]
tons steel blast doors while the end of
[80]
the Cold War saw NORAD and Space Command
[82]
operations moved from the facility the
[85]
complex still operates as an Air Force
[87]
training station and as a backup
[89]
strategic command center
[95]
though most national archives are
[97]
available to the public the same cannot
[100]
be said of the papal archives located
[102]
within the walls of the Vatican City in
[104]
Rome home to more than 1200 years of
[109]
historical documents and texts the
[111]
archives were completely off-limits to
[113]
anyone outside the inner circle of the
[115]
Catholic Church
[116]
prior to 1881 while limited access can
[120]
now be requested the process to gain
[123]
entry is amongst the strictest anywhere
[125]
in the world journalists students and
[128]
amateur historians are forbidden from
[130]
entering and credentials are only
[132]
granted to academic scholars who must
[134]
renew their access requests every six
[137]
months when permission is granted
[139]
scholars enter the Vatican through a
[142]
designated entry point which is
[144]
protected by the Swiss Guard and Aris
[146]
courted into the archives where they can
[148]
view up to three pre requested documents
[150]
each day while personal computers are
[154]
allowed into the archives Photography of
[157]
the material is forbidden since being
[160]
opened to scholars only a handful of
[162]
photographs of the more than 80
[164]
kilometres of archive shelving have ever
[166]
been taken
[173]
the United States bullion depository at
[175]
Fort Knox is perhaps one of the world's
[178]
most famous secure buildings often
[181]
referred to as Fort Knox
[183]
due to the building's location adjacent
[185]
to the Fort Knox military base and its
[188]
fortress-like appearance the facility
[191]
holds large portions of the United
[192]
States gold reserves and is heavily
[195]
guarded at all times by the United
[198]
States Mint police surrounded by a
[201]
series of fences and constructed with
[203]
granite walls the vault is protected by
[206]
a 20-ton blast-proof security door there
[209]
requires passcodes unique to each member
[212]
of the depository staff while the
[215]
facility doesn't hold as much gold as
[217]
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
[219]
access to the depository is much more
[222]
heavily restricted while daily tours
[226]
operate in the Federal Reserve Fort Knox
[229]
has only allowed external visitors from
[231]
outside the Treasury Department onto the
[233]
premises twice since its completion once
[236]
in 1974 and again in 2017

[244]
as our world becomes ever more reliant
[248]
on online services Internet service
[250]
providers are going to great lengths to
[252]
secure their systems nowhere is this
[256]
more apparent than at the underground
[258]
data center operated by Swedish internet
[261]
provider bahnhof built of 30 meters
[266]
beneath a Granite Mountain the facility
[268]
originally operated as a Cold War bunker
[271]
and was designed to offer protection
[273]
from a nuclear war between Soviet and
[276]
Western forces with servers located deep
[280]
within the mountain and only accessible
[281]
via a single tunnel protected by a 70
[285]
centimeter thick steel door the data
[287]
center is capable of surviving the blast
[290]
of a hydrogen bomb and can operate
[292]
independently at the National Grid
[294]
thanks to two submarine engines that act
[297]
as backup generators while the facility
[301]
is considered to be one of the most
[302]
secure data centers in the world due to
[305]
its subterranean location it's working
[307]
environment is made more welcoming for
[309]
employees with simulated daylight

perhaps one of the most recognizable
[323]
buildings in the world the White House
[325]
in Washington DC employs a number of
[328]
sophisticated measures in order to
[330]
protect the President of the United
[332]
States and their administration while
[335]
visitors are able to tour parts of the
[338]
White House complex all bookings must be
[341]
made in advance with at least 21 days
[343]
notice to allow time for background
[346]
checks US citizens must request access
[349]
through their member of Congress while
[351]
international visitors are advised to
[353]
contact their embassies the White House
[356]
complex lies at the center of a highly
[359]
restricted 15 mile flight exclusion zone
[362]
surrounding Ronald Reagan Washington
[364]
National Airport a number of
[367]
surface-to-air missile launchers are
[369]
also positioned across the city ready to
[372]
intercept any aircraft that do not
[374]
comply with direction from the US air
[376]
force on the building itself
[378]
roof-mounted radar closely monitors the
[381]
area around the White House additionally
[385]
the perimeter of the White House is
[386]
monitored by an array of infrared
[388]
cameras able to detect the slightest
[391]
temperature change and alert security to
[393]
any potential threats while most of the
[396]
White House defenses operate hidden from
[398]
public view
[399]
the White House fence surrounding the
[402]
entire premises is an imposing piece of
[405]
fortification in itself standing 2.1
[409]
meters or 7 feet tall on crash resistant
[412]
concrete footings the wrought iron fence
[415]
is topped with a series of spikes to
[417]
deter climbers in 2017 plans were proved
[422]
to increase the height of the fence to
[424]
three point three meters and for the
[426]
fence to be fitted with sensors that
[427]
alert security when pressure is applied
[430]
to the bars in addition the building's
[433]
bulletproof windows are capable of
[435]
resisting multiple direct impacts from
[438]
semi-automatic weapons below ground the

presidential Emergency Operations Center
[444]
or PEO C located under the East Wing and
[448]
the Situation Room
