Integrated solution links physical and IT security

With Siveillance Netwatch Siemens presents an integrated solution which links physical and IT security. The system enables data from security systems – such as intrusion detection, access control and risk management systems – to be systematically combined with security measures of the IT infrastructure.

For example, a PC can be automatically shut down completely if the access control system reports that the owner of the PC is not in the same room. For gathering the required information and monitoring purposes Siveillance Netwatch uses proven Siemens protocols as well as standards such as ICMP and SNMP and specifically developed software agents.
