Zetron and CS-Solutions Partner to Enhance the Cybersecurity of Mission-critical Operations

  • Aug 11, 2015

Zetron, a provider of mission-critical communications solutions worldwide, and CS-Solutions, developer of mission/business-continuity anti-terrorism software, announced that they are partnering to enhance the cyber-security of Zetron systems. This will strengthen the operational continuity of Zetron systems by delivering immediate computer-platform remediation and disaster recovery after a cyber-event. It also provides a software baseline lock-down that maintains system security settings and ensures that no user data is lost in an attack. In addition, if an incident occurs, operations are restored with the click of a button.

CS-Solutions’ Platinum Cyber Security Protection software is Department of Defense-certified and has been tested and deployed for use by numerous federal agencies, including the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Department of Justice, CENTCOM, and the Joint Interagency Task Force. The solution has a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) designation as an anti-terrorist technology. CS-Solutions is the only mission/business continuity cyber-security software company to receive such a designation.

This cyber-security solution can easily be applied to new or selected existing Zetron systems. It delivers significant benefits to Zetron customers, ensuring that their operations will continue, even if a cyber-incident occurs. This is particularly important to public-safety communication centers that are responsible for delivering life-saving emergency services 24/7. It is also a critical feature in the control rooms of airline, rail, and utility companies, where any interruption in operations can have cascading effects throughout the organization.

“We are very excited and proud that Zetron has chosen Platinum Cyber Security Protection as an essential cyber-security layer for their mission-critical communication solutions,” said Gabriel Raia, CEO of CS-Solutions, Inc. “If a mission-critical communication system is subjected to a malware attack, Platinum Cyber Security Protection immediately remediates and re-establishes the system, protects the organizational mission, and ensures that lives are not put at risk. Maintaining operational continuity and 99.999 percent system availability are key benefits to the operation centers that utilize Zetron systems.”

“Cyber-security is an increasingly urgent concern for those who manage mission-critical communications,” said Zetron President and CEO, Ellen O’Hara. “That’s why we are delighted to be able to offer CS-Solutions’ software as an adjunct to our products. It adds a vital layer of security that ensures that system operations continue and data remains safe if an event occurs. It also gives administrators the peace of mind that comes from knowing their operations are well protected.”

  • 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.
