Scott Gardner, senior analyst with the Global Risk Group, adds “Our Vigilance dashboard support recently helped with security to protect stars of a hit TV series, while they met with fans across America. However, in addition, we followed up with a report on what fans said about the events and the stars themselves. We contributed to future business decisions, something beyond our normal scope.” Another key member of the team, Global Risk specialist Derick de Jesus, continues to explore ways to stream in information, and designs dashboards which provide an optimized view of the total security state and business objectives. As he says, “All of us know what it means to work in the field and we take our commitment to those we support very seriously. Vigilance represents our know-how and experience, and over time will include the collective intelligence of thousands of agents and officers.” Keeping customers As Brad Van Hazel, president, Global and National Accounts, <strong>Securitas</strong> USA, sees it, “Vigilance is a robust tool to help us be proactive with our clients. From a business continuity standpoint, we will become more integrated with clients. Whether it’s a tsunami, or a biohazard spill, we will be ahead of the curve in terms of knowing the facts first, and being able to act. As some of our global customers move toward Vigilance, they will integrate the capabilities with their own systems in place. In turn, staffing requirements will be at a higher level for both short and longterm assignments, where we can step up to the task.” Van Hazel suggests that being first in mind with the CEOs of our valued customers will happen increasingly when they have (Continued on page 29)
Using the Vigilance dashboard Scott Gardner, (left) senior analyst, Global Risk Group and Derick de Jesus, Global Risk Group specialist blend into everyday life on the street. How Vigilance Adds Value for You Vigilance is a web-based interactive capability presented through a dashboard, based upon a family of proprietary and off-the-shelf software tools. TIES, the centerpiece of Vigilance, is an important patented breakthrough, resulting from the U.S. government’s commitment of hundreds of millions of dollars in cooperation with the world’s leading software and risk experts, following the attack on the World Trade Center. Vigilance sorts through massive amounts of private and public data, filtering to convey only essential information and visualizing it for security teams and customers. This unprecedented capability not only delivers time-sensitive information vital to handling risk in a more comprehensive manner, but it also provides a direct benefit to enterprise business continuity. While Vigilance was designed to be a powerful security tool, it’s already migrating into the business intelligence arena, employed by CEOs to advance their brands and win out over competition. Vigilance display modules present a wide range of information in the form of images, video, voice, graphics and documents, as well as specially formatted alerts. Types of information brought into the environment range from 9-1-1 data to breaking news stories, and from flash flood advisories to traffic flows and weather radar. Internal incidents and assets can be imported and displayed, as well, allowing a layered but holistic view of the entire enterprise. Clients can subscribe to world news, and specific communities of information designed for their individual needs. Advanced filters allow the user to tailor what information is displayed, what incidents generate email or SMS text alerts to specified personnel, and define areas and times of coverage. Each “community” information area is constructed to fuse types and sources of information relating to a specific geographic area or subject matter. Subscribers can be members of multiple communities – as many as necessary to achieve total awareness of events and conditions potentially impacting their operations. ¡ WWW.SecuritaSinc.com 25
