Conventional command centres focus on video and access control system monitoring. When something happens at a door, the video system reports the event to one monitor in the command centre, while the access control system reports to another monitor. It is up to the operator to imagine the possibilities, draw the right conclusions, decide on a response and, if necessary, dispatch officers.
Offering our award-winning software, Octopus an advanced Cloud enabled Physical Security Information Management system command and control centres can do much more than just that. Our ‘’PSIM software offers a unique approach to command, and control based on the principles of integration and cloud-based computing. The system unifies multiple security devices and information systems (e.g., alarms, fraud prevention, cyber-attack alerts, safety sensors, entrance monitoring, closed-circuit cameras as well as open-source intelligence and social media and up to 35 additional modules for integration.)) It therefore allows managers to evaluate risks and control all the effected information in one place’’.
Command and Control Centres are more than just about identifying threats and incidents, the probe and threat identification helps nullify threats from happening at all. Command and Control centres provide increased clearness and authority over security systems, enabling the organization to remain ahead of likely security threats.
Composition and Preventive Maintenance.
The most well equipped and dexterous processes are no match for preventing issue from occurring at all. To help maintain maximum security, the Command-and-Control centre can implement measures which can be categorized into.
- Composition: Staying up to date on the newest security innovations, latest in cybercrime and regular regional security updates. All of this can help mitigate and prepare for instances when measure put in place can be activated to prevent being caught unawares.
- Preventive Maintenance: This composes of actions taken to make sure that successful attacks are more difficult, and this includes regular maintenance, system updates/upgrades, adjusting vulnerabilities and excluding, barring, and securing applications.
While the concept of command and control has a long history in military practice, modern warfare is very much enmeshed with computers and information technologies. The more complex acronym C4I, namely, Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence, captures this emphasis. A plethora of software applications has begun to address the needs of military and civil organization alike, offering solutions that enable efficient responses to security breaches. For example, assume an organization faces a cyber-attack that effects both its computers (and therefore internal and external communication) and its physical facilities such as plants, machinery, and onsite access codes – how can a manager prepare for the worst-case scenario?
