Siemens shows at SICUR 2016 how to protect critical infrastructures

At the International Security Hall, Siemens is presenting its most innovative solutions to protect critical infrastructures, avoid cyberattacks and extinguish fires.

The solutions you're presenting Siemens In Sicur 2016, that is being held at Feria de Madrid until next year 26 February, They aim to curb both physical and cyber threats, that structures such as power plants may face, Industrial Plants, Water Supplies, Airports or Oil Facilities&gas.

The effects of the different risk situations faced by this type of infrastructure range from the risk of death and serious injury, to an environmental disaster, Financial or intellectual property losses, elimination or decrease in the quality of production or damage to the corporate image.

To combat these risks, Siemens has developed new applications from its Building Technologies Divisions, Digital Factory & Security Company, Tecosa.

PSIM Solutions

Physical Security Information Management Systems or PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) and the establishment of secure channels for industrial communications over public networks are two fundamental aspects to take into account when protecting critical infrastructure.

Siemens PSIM systems offer the possibility of integrating all the disciplines required to secure this type of facility: access control, Cctv, perimeter intrusion, Intercom, Radar, GIS systems, PCI & Lighting.

These systems make it possible to collect and correlate events from different security systems and, therefore, Empower security leaders to identify and resolve any threats.

Intelligent video surveillance

Siemens Siveillance VMS is an intelligent video management platform that meets the needs of CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) for both small enclosures and large sites with multiple geographically dispersed sites.

This platform incorporates the Siveillance SiteIQ Analytics video analytics plug-in – Perimeter Security Essentials, that offers high intrusion detection rates and low false alarm rates in perimeter security applications.

Through this platform, The different locations can be managed centrally and incorporates video analytics with high rates for intrusion detection and low false alarm rates. An ideal solution to protect the perimeter of critical infrastructures, as Oil installations&gas, Airports, Nuclear ports or power plants.

Siemens is also showing at SICUR 2016 Your Latest Versions of Video Analytics for Large-Area Perimeter Security (Siveillance SiteIQ WA), with the possibility of integration of short-range surface wave radars, and the unmanned aerial system (drone) by Aeryon Labs.

On the other hand, Inspection and detection equipment can also be viewed for any safety demand, from X-ray scanners or arcs to trace detectors of drugs and explosives.

Mobile Fire Detection

In the field of fire protection, the company is introducing Sinorix H2O Jet, An extinguishing system through the use of water and constant-discharge nitrogen (CDT), which allows for quick and effective extinguishing of Class B fires, Flammable liquids, both in closed rooms and with openings.

In addition, Siemens has developed new applications for the maintenance of fire protection systems such as Sinteso Mobile and Sinteso Test, that allow access to the detection systems from any mobile phone or tablet, so that the installation can be monitored and, based on the user's permissions, Operate.

Industrial Cybersecurity

Siemens, as a manufacturer and supplier of industrial technology, It has developed a series of products that respond to the growing need for industrial network protection systems to combat cyberattacks and protect critical facilities.

The company, among other solutions, has created the new platform for remote connection management Sinema Remote Connect, that provides a server application for the secure establishment of connections between users and machines or facilities distributed around the world.

This solution ensures remote communication between the different participants using VPN tunneling technology.
