Security Systems Consulting: Design Phase
Delivering Policy Enforcement
The goal of AbeoTS's consultancy program is to deliver policy enforcement: a solution that enables each client to know that their security policy is comprehensive and truly effective.
At the core of the security system is the AWARE platform, which receives data inputs from a range of sources and interprets the messages according to a set of scenarios derived from the security policy. AWARE then also notifies the appropriate first responders - again defined by the policy. Careful attention is paid to validating alarms where possible with complementary sensors.
Phase Two - Security System Design
When the security policy is well defined, the second phase of our consulting explores what input and output will the system need in order to deliver that policy. This always starts with analyzing the existing infrastructure thereby respecting the client's previous investments.
AbeoTS's consultants work with all clients to design a comprehensive system that addresses all relevant areas of the policy, anticipates possible threats and exceptions, and has a structured program for notifying the agents that need to know in a timely and efficient manner.
Legacy vs. New Components
AWARE can support a massive array of input components and channels:
- Audio
- Seismic
- CBRNE
- Radar
- Sonar
- Video
- Access Control and Identity Management
- plus all kinds of media channels, such as radios, cellphones, email, PDAs etc.
We will analyze all legacy technology the client may already have in place, and assess how it can best be employed as part of a comprehensive AWARE-enabled system.
Our consultants will also advise where new components may be required to implement the defined policy shortcomings.
The net result of the second phase of consulting is a comprehensive and coherent model for an AWARE-enabled system that the client can be assured will deliver true security policy enforcement under all conditions.
