Chemical facilities: Main target for terrorists?

The chemical industry plays an important role in profits, services and employ thousands of people, although it is a very attractive target for terrorists, for which CIAS, brand marketed by ProdexTec, offers its solutions.

The Italian multinational CIAS, whose systems you market ProdexTec in Spain and Portugal, explains that direct attack or terrorist sabotage of chemical plants can have two main absolutely harmful outcomes.: the human cost and the economic consequences.

Security against such risk should address three key points to avoid vulnerability:

1) Transportation Safety

It is essential to ensure the system of transport of chemicals to plants, as well as the storage facilities themselves. An example would be the protection of fencing near the railways..

CIAS bets on Mems technology for this, that is not affected by the powerful vibrations caused by a running train, is easy to install and can be managed remotely.

2) Physical security in fixed installations

With the creation of invisible walls to protect the perimeter of the facilities. The CIAS proposal to achieve this and avoid serious intrusions is based on integrating protection with microwave perimeter barriers that have maximum reliability and have low maintenance.

These solutions are not affected by weather conditions and are prepared with an IP port interface.

3) Cyber threats.

Create a cybersecurity IP protocol for full integration. CIAS's full range of IP interfaces offers Pids on a cyber-secure LAN by integrating the 802.1X standard for the IP protocol, that provides protection against viruses, malware or attacks by people.
