Orsus To Provide Situator Technology At Cyprus Airports

  • May 15, 2009

Orsus recently announced it has partnered with Israeli-based systems integrator Orad to implement Situator at two airports in the Republic of Cyprus, Paphos and Larnaka International Airports.

The two-part project was awarded to Orad by Bouygues Construction, one of the world's leaders in building, civil engineering, electrical contracting and maintenance, operating in more than 80 countries. Orad specializes in integrated advanced security and control systems.

The first project involved installing Situator at Paphos International Airport, a newly constructed facility representing the second largest airport on the Mediterranean island. As part of the project, Orad implemented the latest technology, including physical and logical biometrics-based access control systems and advanced IP-based surveillance systems.

Situator brings together these security solutions and manages its new standard operating procedures and emergency scenarios at the recently opened terminal.

The second phase of the project, currently in progress, involves implementing Situator at Larnaka International Airport, which is the largest airport in the Republic of Cyprus. It serves an estimated 7 million passengers each year. The new airport, now under construction, is scheduled to open in November.

"Airports are complex facilities to manage from a security perspective. The implementation at Paphos and Larnaka International Airports, with the latest in airport security and passenger screening technologies adds the consolidated experience that Orsus has gained over the years in the transportation market," said Rafi Bhonker, vice president of marketing and sales at Orsus. "We look forward to this relationship with Orad and the Cyprus international airports to continue to develop in the future."

Situator is a comprehensive Situation Management software platform that delivers clarity and control to enterprise control rooms -- enabling better coordination of the interaction between people, alerting sources and responses.

  • Cyber Overconfidence Is Leaving Your Organization Vulnerable

    The increased sophistication of cyber threats pumped by the relentless use of AI and machine learning brings forth record-breaking statistics. Cyberattacks grew 44% YoY in 2024, with a weekly average of 1,673 cyberattacks per organization. While organizations up their security game to help thwart these attacks, a critical question remains: Can employees identify a threat when they come across one? A Confidence Gap survey reveals that 86% of employees feel confident in their ability to identify phishing attempts. But things are not as rosy as they appear; the more significant part of the report finds this confidence misplaced. Read Now
