Protecting Critical Infrastructure, New Services Make ASIS News Monday

September 23, 2009

First day news ranged from Aqua America, the largest investor owned water company in the United States, saying it has deployed Orsus Situator to G4S Wackenhut telling Security it is going "live" this month with a new state-of the-art remote security monitoring and data center in the United States.

Critical Water Treatment Infrastructure Gets Video Protection

At ASIS, Orsus said that Aqua America, the largest U.S.-based investor owned water company in the United States, has deployed Situator to integrate and manage multiple security systems and other devices at its water-related facilities across Pennsylvania. The project involves using Situator to monitor and manage Aqua America’s access control, video surveillance, fiber optic intrusion detection, and radar systems. Situator is currently used to integrate and manage data from these systems at Aqua America’s pump stations, water treatment facilities, water storage tanks, and dams. By the end of this year, Aqua America will add well stations, bringing the number of managed sites up to 90. Fire detection systems will be added beginning early next year, and Aqua America is considering adding SCADA systems at a later date.

The line provides 12VDC power distributed via Class 2 rated power limited outputs.

Largest Ever HD IP Video System on U.S.-Canadian Border Crossings

Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has deployed what is believed to be the largest ever High-Definition (HD) IP Video surveillance system to monitor its customs operation on the U.S.-Canadian border and at Vancouver Airport. CBSA chose IndigoVision’s complete IP Video system to upgrade 30 of its land border crossings, transitioning its surveillance from analog/DVR technology to a fully distributed, scalable IP-network based platform. The enhanced video surveillance images and tools assist the CBSA with the enforcement of illegal and threatening acts through the collection of useable evidentiary video images.

Five-hundred IndigoVision HD cameras were installed alongside 500 of the original analog cameras, which are connected to the network. The megapixel HD cameras stream high-quality H.264 video at 15 fps. Due to its advanced H.264 compression technology and unique architecture, the technology allows both standard definition and HD video to be streamed and recorded side-by-side using standard IP networks and storage. This has allowed CBSA to significantly improve its retention period for recorded video, even when taking into account the increased storage requirements of HD video.

New Methodology for Reducing Costs Improving Efficiency and Effectiveness

Andrews International, the largest privately-owned U.S. full-service provider of security and risk mitigation services, today introduced a state-of-the-art analysis service for its enterprise customers that comprehensively evaluates the effectiveness of security operations in order to reduce costs and improve efficiency and effectiveness. The new service is based on Andrews’ proprietary Security Effectiveness and Efficiency (SEE) methodology, which includes matching security resources to risk profiles, maximizing the integration of uniformed guards and electronic security assets, and accurately projecting return on investments (ROI) through industry-specific financial models. 

Already, the SEE Analysis has been used to evaluate enterprise security programs across several key industries including high-tech and manufacturing. According to a Fortune 500 global manufacturer, the SEE Analysis identified actionable improvements that will enable the organization to reduce uniformed guard costs by 20 percent across its US headquarters and manufacturing sites, while enhancing the strength of its security operations.
