AlertEnterprise, Proximex Form Partnership

  • Sep 21, 2011

AlertEnterprise and Proximex recently announced they have formed an alliance to deliver inclusive protection for the nation's critical infrastructure.

The combined AlertEnterprise/Proximex Surveillint capabilities deliver compliance automation, risk analysis, active policy enforcement, and complete situational awareness into operational security for rapid and effective response to emerging incidents.

For example, a possible out-of-compliance alert, such as an intrusion into a sensitive area, is received by Surveillint and then correlated with alerts from other physical security systems, like video analytics and/or perimeter detection.

The alert is then sent to AlertEnterprise for behavioral analysis and automatic vetting against authoritative identity sources. AlertEnterprise determines if there is a true compliance issue and triggers any required remedial action. Together, Surveillint and AlertEnterprise provide organizations with more rigorous security protection for critical infrastructure incidents.

AlertEnterprise delivers the true prevention of theft, sabotage and acts of terrorism by streamlining onboarding offboarding, delivering identity intelligence to track physical access into facilities and logical access into applications and systems controlling critical assets.

AlertEnterprise conducts sophisticated risk analysis to detect blended threats while enabling enterprises to actively enforce policies, meet compliance requirements and deliver predictive analytics to stop the progression of events from turning into adverse cyber or physical incidents.

Proximex develops innovative solutions that leverage existing and new systems and technologies that are integrated into a centralized command and control center.

With Proximex solutions, organizations can achieve significant improvements in mitigating risk and ensuring compliance while realizing a quick return on investment (ROI). Surveillint is the premier PSIM solution to manage situations and resolve incidents by offering advanced features like Business Logic Manager policy and workflow designer, EZ Track suspect camera tracking, and incident and trend reporting.

According to Jasvir Gill, founder & of AlertEnterprise, "Today's attacks are more sophisticated, involving blended threats that extend across cyber, physical and control systems. Unique capabilities from AlertEnterprise combined with the situational awareness capabilities of Surveillint deliver complete visibility as well as rapid and effective response. AlertEnterprise offers the only solution that can prevent these incidents from occurring by eliminating these silos. Our ability to layer on top of and leverage existing HR / Enterprise Applications, PACS systems, and SCADA control systems is unparalleled in the industry."

According to Jack Smith, president of Proximex, "Large organizations are increasingly pressured by new government regulations to ensure compliance and mitigate risk but stakeholders require better returns. This AlertEnterprise-Proximex alliance brings together the best in identity intelligence and logical access with complete physical situational awareness for regulation compliance while achieving a quick ROI by leveraging existing assets. This alliance offers excellent business value and complete awareness for organizations dealing with critical infrastructure security issues."

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
