Technical security - security systems, monitoring, and integration

‍

We design and integrate technical security systems for facilities, critical infrastructure, the public sector, industry, and organizations with distributed infrastructure. We combine devices, management systems, and software into solutions tailored to the nature of the facility, how it is used, and its specific security requirements.

The scope of the project includes the selection of technology and equipment, as well as the architecture of the entire environment, communication between systems, and the method of managing events and data.

Technical security systems for facilities and infrastructure

Technical security involves many interconnected systems. Depending on the nature of the project, we integrate:

• CCTV video monitoring and VMS,
• access control and personnel identification,
• perimeter protection and alarm systems,
• vehicle identification and ANPR,
• sensors and IoT devices,
• communication and intercom systems,
• software for management and data integration.

We tailor the scope of the solution to the facility's architecture, its zones, processes, and user requirements.

‍

Security system architecture

We design the layout of devices, communication between systems, data flow, and event handling. We take into account existing infrastructure and solutions that are to remain part of the environment.

In modernization projects, we develop existing systems in stages, combining new elements with already operational infrastructure.

‍

Integration of security systems from different manufacturers

We combine solutions from various manufacturers that operate on different technologies. We design the methods for data exchange, event handling, and communication between systems.

Integration can include video surveillance, access control, alarm systems, perimeter protection, ANPR, sensors, applications, and security management systems.

In our projects, we utilize available interfaces, APIs, communication protocols, and dedicated integration layers developed by squareTec.

‍

Centralized security system management

In distributed environments, we consolidate information from multiple systems and locations into a single management environment.

The scope may include:

• centralized event monitoring,
• alarm and notification handling,
• access to video feeds from multiple locations,
• information on personnel and vehicle access,
• event history and reporting,
• user permission management.

We design information presentation tailored to the roles and tasks of the system users.

‍

Technical security across multiple locations

In multi-site projects, local systems can maintain their own infrastructure and functionality while simultaneously transmitting selected data to a central environment.

We design, among other things:

• local and central servers,
• communication between locations,
• central data repositories,
• redundancy and high availability,
• division of responsibilities between local and central systems.

This approach is effective for infrastructure spanning multiple facilities, zones, or locations.

‍

Integrating technical security with IT infrastructure

Technical security systems rely on an organization's network, server, and communication infrastructure. That is why we consider how they connect to the existing IT environment as early as the design stage.

We analyze:

• network architecture,
• segmentation,
• servers and storage,
• communication between locations,
• user access,
• redundancy and availability,
• methods of data storage and transmission.

Depending on the project, the solution can operate locally, in a distributed environment, or in a hybrid architecture.

‍

Data analytics and security system automation

Data from security systems can be used for incident analysis, information correlation, and the automation of selected processes.

We integrate data sources and design rules and mechanisms that allow for the correlation of information from various systems.

For projects involving advanced image analysis, AI, or big data processing, we leverage the expertise described on the pages Artificial Intelligence and Software Development.

‍

Technical security vs. cybersecurity

Technical security systems are part of an organization's IT infrastructure. Designing them requires considering user access, network communication, device protection, segmentation, and data management methods.

In our projects, we combine technical security expertise with cybersecurity solutions. We describe the detailed scope of IT and OT infrastructure protection in the Cybersecurityarea.

How do we design and implement technical security systems?

Facility and requirements analysis

We get to know the infrastructure, processes, facility usage, and security requirements.

System architecture design

We define the scope of the systems, their layout, communication, data flow, and management methods.

Technology and equipment selection

We select technologies and solutions tailored to technical conditions, the work environment, and user requirements.

System integration

We connect new solutions with existing infrastructure and systems from various manufacturers.

Testing and commissioning

We verify the performance of individual components and communication between systems before launching the production environment.

Development and maintenance

We evolve the system in line with changes to infrastructure, user needs, and organizational requirements.

‍

Technical security for the public sector, industry, and critical infrastructure

We design systems for environments where facility security is linked to the continuity of infrastructure and processes.

We deliver solutions for:

• the public sector,
• critical infrastructure,
• industry,
• transport and logistics,
• multi-site facilities,
• organizations requiring centralized security management.

The scope of each solution is determined by the nature of the infrastructure and the organization's requirements.

‍

Technologies and partners

In our projects, we use technologies from proven security system manufacturers as well as solutions developed by squareTec.

Depending on the scope of the project, we work with solutions in the areas of:

• monitoring and VMS,
• access control,
• perimeter protection,
• vehicle identification,
• video analytics,
• systems integration,
• IT and network infrastructure.
