1. A security system which includes a controller with an associated processor, associated storage means, a power supply, and data communication means;
with the system configured to include at least one associated event sensor and at least one associated countermeasure device, both operatively associated with an asset monitored by the security system and in data communication with the controller through the data communication means;
with the processor configured:
to receive data input from an associated event sensor, and
to analyse data input from the event sensor according to predeterminable rules and parameters in respect of the event sensor stored on the storage means for the processor to determine the presence of an alarm event;
for the processor to determine from the alarm event and from a predetermined set of responses and predetermined set of security outcomes stored on the storage means in association with the alarm event a selected response to the alarm event with the aim of achieving a predetermined security outcome to protect the asset, and
for the processor to generate an output signal to:
at least one countermeasure device with the output signal configured to activate the countermeasure device to deliver the selected response, or
at least one monitoring station with the output signal configured to alert the monitoring station to activate the countermeasure device to deliver the selected response.
