The need to deliver critical data to multiple security agents is
driving expenditure on command and control systems, finds Frost
& Sullivan's Security Team
LONDON, Sept. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Evolving security
and communication technologies are transforming security control
rooms. From being areas to monitor video feeds, modern control
rooms are now tasked with gathering information from various
sources before analysing the data to deliver meaningful,
operational insights to security operatives in real time. The
continuing integration of traditionally disparate systems will be
accelerated by the Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile and wireless
security technologies. The challenge for end users and the
opportunity for the industry lie in the creation of control rooms
that not only meet current operational demands but are also capable
of providing greater efficiency while protecting against future
threats.
Global Security Control Rooms Market Assessment
(http://frost.ly/sx) is the new analysis from Frost &
Sullivan's Aerospace, Defence and Security Growth
Partnership Service programme, which includes subjects such as
critical national infrastructure, cyber security, Internet of
Things in public safety. This study focuses on evolving market
needs across the first responder, mass transport,
airports, oil & gas and utilities segments
and covers hardware, software, managed services and integration
trends.

"The transfer of data into both control room settings and the
field will create opportunities for a range of technology
suppliers," confirmed Aerospace, Defence and Security Research
Analyst Robert Haddon.
"Greater levels of data and the use of contextualizing data
sources, such as social media, will put a premium on analytics
technology in order to draw meaningful conclusions and linkages
from disparate sources of information."
However, pressure on budgets across the industry compels greater
efficiency at lower costs. At the same time, high security must be
maintained at critical locations regardless of service funding
restrictions. To balance these operational considerations, users
will seek more intelligent and scalable systems, which in turn
create opportunities for security hardware, software and service
providers.
"Today, security operations need to work faster, smarter and be
increasingly connected, making technology crucial to both
organisations and end users that are trying to protect increasingly
complex and distributed infrastructure networks from a range of
threats," said Haddon. "Using more automated control room solutions
and analytic technology enables organizations to maximize insights
from both new and existing security architecture. Savings on
hardware and personnel costs mean that organizations can create
efficiencies without sacrificing security performance."
There are number of companies positioned in the market to
provide solutions that will enhance the operations of security end
users. Egidium Technologies provides supervision software
that puts a 3D map at the core of the security control room to
enhance security situation awareness and support the end user
throughout incident handling. Their track record already includes
major events such as the UN's COP21
and several sensitive sites across utilities, sporting arenas and
airports.
"We believe security control rooms will evolve towards a better
user experience, driven by software that merges information from
various sources in a meaningful fashion. What the control room
operator fundamentally needs is to correctly assess a situation and
deal with it without delay. Control room solutions and equipment
must support this critical objective," commented Laurent Denizot, CEO at Egidium
Technologies.
Region-wise, the extensive installed base and technology renewal
within the North American and European market will continue to
boost spending. New infrastructure in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East will also create project
opportunities. Further, the implementation of new command and
control (C2) and smart city infrastructure in city
development projects will remain a key driver for enhanced spending
on a range of technology.
"Organisations will seek security control room systems that
offer speed of delivery and clear return on investments,"
summarised Haddon. "Software solutions, and in particular analytic
systems, enable both new and existing systems to enhance their
security preparedness while limiting larger costs associated with
hardware investment."
