Physical Security Information Management PSIM

Critical infrastructure - transportation networks, hospitals, schools, power plants and more - underpins a nation's entire economy. Threats to this infrastructure are the highest they've been since 9/11/2001, according to Senior Homeland Security department officials. Yet the systems that agencies and organizations have traditionally used to secure this infrastructure often do not adequately mitigate these risks. While these solutions capture vast quantities of information, bringing all this data together in a manner that allows an organization to quickly identify real threats and respond intelligently has proven a complex and arduous process.

This white paper describes how Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) systems can simplify security management by consolidating security information to deliver more complete and actionable security intelligence. PSIM systems help position organizations to respond to security incidents more efficiently and intelligently, while reducing costs and improving compliance.
