Naftoport is the only crude oil and liquid fuels terminal<br />
in Poland. It performs transhipments <strong>of</strong> crude oil and<br />
refined oil products in the Port <strong>of</strong> Gdańsk. The company<br />
is a critical part <strong>of</strong> the petroleum supply chain for Polish<br />
and German refineries and crude oil transit from Russia<br />
and Kazakhstan to the ports <strong>of</strong> Western Europe, the<br />
United States and the Far East.<br />
Due to Naftoport’s close proximity to Poland’s border<br />
and the nature <strong>of</strong> its activities, the port has heightened<br />
security needs that include the threat <strong>of</strong> terrorist and<br />
activist attacks as well as unauthorized entry into the<br />
Naftoport facility.<br />
As a result <strong>of</strong> expansion over the years Naftoport had a<br />
large number <strong>of</strong> non-integrated legacy security systems<br />
caused problems with the speed <strong>of</strong> reaction with each<br />
operator having to act manually to play back incidents<br />
in order to find out what took place.<br />
The primary purpose <strong>of</strong> this project was to integrate<br />
these siloed security systems and sensors, so that security<br />
<strong>of</strong>ficers could more effectively track and analyze<br />
information and respond to threats in real time. Naftoport<br />
also wanted to empower security operators with<br />
the ability to respond to events consistently, regardless<br />
<strong>of</strong> their experience or capabilities.<br />
The port has successfully deployed NICE Situator PSIM<br />
and NiceVision VMS with intrusion detection video analytics<br />
to protect its critical resources. “Our new video<br />
analytics greatly increases facility security. We’ve achieved<br />
our goal <strong>of</strong> being able to reliably detect intruders inside<br />
