The need to provide an adequate level of protection for mission-critical locations, facilities, assets and data presents an overarching concern for commercial, governmental and military organizations. Restrictive regulatory guidelines and standards-based security policies warrant a heavy reliance on specialized infrastructures, which may include broadly divergent combinations of surveillance, access control and threat detection equipment. As important as it is, efficient operation of security networks, especially those that are extremely diverse or geographically dispersed, is an imposing challenge in itself.
This challenge is the centerpiece of our two flagship projects, developed jointly with major players in two segments of the security technology industry.
Physical Security Information Management
Primarily targeted at highly secure military settings, the system brings security intelligence to bear on ramified device networks. It provides a holistic environment which collates raw device data from multiple sources and codifies security assurance workflows, empowering security personnel at all levels to adequately assess threats, take informed decisions, promptly resolve incidents and counter a variety of security threats.
Across the board situational awareness
- GIS based maps and facility layouts with graphically represented access zones and device locations
- Automatic alarm annunciation and system-generated alerts
- Adjustable dashboards correlating and contextualizing sensor data, video surveillance footage and identity information
- Customizable user workspaces and multi-screen support
- A system-supported framework for threat verification and incident management
Access control and granular identity management
- Functionality for issuing, suspending and revoking employee and visitor pass cards
- Integration with biometrics and pass card based access portals
- Video badging
- Fine-grained calendar- and zone-based access permissions
Integration and adaptability
- Open, device-agnostic architecture
- APIs for interfacing with any types of security devices, from legacy video surveillance systems to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive (CBRNE) sensors
Security policy enforcement and regulatory compliance
- Audit logs and robust reporting
- Configurable alarm conditions and automatic system responses
- Encrypted communications and standards-compliant information security
Secure Out of Band Network Management
The system is a vendor-provided solution that complements a line of encryption and authentication devices used for securing out-of-band connections and protecting proprietary information networks against back-door attacks and unauthorized access.
- Centralized device management
Network administrators can manage remote and vastly distributed network components via a single interface, synchronize device databases and scale the device inventory whenever necessary.
- Real-time status information
The system periodically checks device parameters, notifies the relevant technician once an error condition is detected and allows retrieving audit trail information on individual devices or device groups.
- Authentication by ID, ID and password, or RSA SecurID token
