IPSecurityCenter is a software based integration and management platform, which connects disparate security systems such as radar, analytics, PIDS, GPS tracking, GIS mapping and video surveillance; aggregating intelligence allows organizations to react faster and more precisely to incidents. IPSecurityCenter provides operators with real-time situation awareness, through a common operating picture (COP) and following an alert, alarm or trigger presents step by step process guidance, ensuring complete compliance to organizational security policies.

The ChallengeAccording to research by Washington State University, prior to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the common perception of transportation security was controlling theft and reducing contraband such as drugs, illegal immigrants, and exports of stolen vehicles and machinery. Post 9/11 transportation security was transformed to assessing threats of possible terrorist attacks on or through our supply chain systems. Ports, coasts, and waterways are lined with military installations, nuclear power plants, oil refineries, fuel tanks, pipelines, chemical plants, and major cities with dense populations (U.S.H.R., 2004).

Internationally, port security is governed by rules issued by the International Maritime Organization and its 2002 International Ship and Port Facility Security Code. Additionally, programs such as the Container Security Initiative and the Customs Trade Partnership against Terrorism have become de facto global port security programs.

Faced with these responsibilities and increasing governance port Command and Control (C2) centers constantly monitor their perimeter and critical assets using disparate systems such as radar, video surveillance, access control, fence protection systems, microwave sensors and video analytics to detect activity that requires an immediate response by their security teams. Add to this the numerous everyday false alarm triggers such as authorized personnel, maintenance contractors, security patrols and wildlife; the C2 center is continuously flooded with alarms and alerts.

Responding to all of these events is unfeasible, so to verify each incident a method of efficiently aggregating intelligence from all systems and sensors is required.

The inability to distinguish real incidents from false alarms significantly reduces operational efficiency, reduces preparedness and increases response times, leading to unacceptable security risks in critical infrastructure protection environments.

When an alarm is received by the C2 center, an operator needs to act fast and decisively. Numerous disparate systems mean operators require extensive ongoing training on each process relating to each alarm type. Additionally, responses vary depending on the time, date, historic alarm data and perceived threat level, so a method of allowing dynamic policies to be created and enforced is absolutely essential.

The Integrated SolutionPort Security by its very nature, requires those responsible to have complete situational awareness at all times as risks to their facilities constantly changes and can have catastrophic effects far beyond their site perimeter.

Ports typically have a centralized security facility with a range of systems in place to monitor and manage security risks. To respond and deal with the wide range of potential security risks, they deploy response units each with differing capabilities. Integrating all identification systems allows the immediate verification of all incidents, greatly increasing their preparedness to respond to real security threats with the appropriate resources.

The Value PropositionProviding a completely integrated security system, IPSecurityCenter effectively manages all security resources, systems and people and will allow operators to have the necessary level of real time awareness and emergency preparedness. Organizations can utilize existing systems rather than replacing their security estate, ensuring a cost effective way to achieve this.

IPSecurityCenter works with the leading security systems in the market today and CNL Software’s technology alliance partnerships (TAP) ensures a future proof off-the-shelf solution to this complex integration challenge. Unlike other custom-made integrations, IPSecurityCenter integrates bidirectionally at an application and database level, exposing full functionality and a complete audit trail for any reporting or investigation purposes. Its intelligent workflow allows complex SOPs to be commissioned and enforced for compliance and reduced operational risk.
