As schools and campuses invest in glass security, many are encountering misleading claims that security window film is “bulletproof.” It is not, and believing otherwise can create a dangerous false sense of protection. Recent reporting, including a Wall Street Journal investigation, has highlighted how exaggerated marketing and unverified demonstrations have confused school leaders trying to protect students, staff, and facilities.
This presentation is a fact-based session for campus safety directors, school administrators, and facilities leaders who want clarity, not hype. This webinar breaks down the three core categories of glazing security:
- access delay (security window film)
- access denial
- ballistic glass
It will what each is designed to do, what it cannot do, and where each fits into a layered campus safety strategy.
We’ll also explore the importance of the ASTM F3561 forced-entry standard and how standards-based solutions provide measurable, third-party-tested performance. Attendees will leave with a clear, honest framework for evaluating glazing security options and making informed decisions rooted in truth, transparency, and real-world performance.
By attending this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Distinguish between the three primary categories of glazing security — access delay (security window film), access denial, and ballistic glass — and understand the purpose and limitations of each
- Identify common myths and misleading claims about “bulletproof” window film and recognize why transparency matters in campus safety planning
- Understand how ASTM F3561 establishes a clearer, standards-based benchmark for forced-entry resistance in glazing systems
- Evaluate glazing security products and vendors using performance data, third-party testing, and real-world application, not demonstrations or marketing claims
- Make more informed, defensible decisions about glass security that align with campus risk profiles, budgets, and layered safety strategies.
