Security and Safety – a must for all airports

Security has become a key issue with the need for a holistic approach: there is little value in addressing unsecured areas via point solutions. Physical security and information security have to be covered in an integral approach. Furthermore we have to consider the prevention of security breaches but also put our Airport customers into a position which allows them to initiate fast and accurate counter measures in case of security or safety incidents.

Therefore Siemens does not only protect your business but additionally provides the capability to relate security information to the airport’s operational context across organizational boundaries. This is the key to a successful security management and operation of the entire airport community especially in time critical situations.

The effective prevention and management of any security threat is predominantly a matter of fast and precise processing of signals from all kinds of detectors. The physical security communication network must transport these signals in a reliable way and assure fully availability in emergency conditions when “all systems go".
The complete picture of a scenario, however, only becomes apparent if the various signals (from cameras, motion detectors, image generators, alarms and other devices) are combined in a meaningful way and put into the right context.

Siemens not only provides the devices and sensors, but also the intelligence and integration to operate security systems in such a way as to enable security personnel to quickly assess any irregularity and react promptly and adequately.
Siemens’ systems integration and intelligent communication and escalation procedures, as well as the capability to relate security information to the airport’s operational context across organizational boundaries, are the key to a successful security management and operation of the entire airport community.
