For years, standard perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS) have relied on technologies like fences, visible surveillance cameras, security lighting, barbed wire, and access control; however, evolving threats to the perimeter seem to have outpaced these tried-and-true security devices, as more and more critical infrastructure sites have reported perimeter breaches.
Evolving PIDS systems to meet a variety of perimeter threats is especially important for critical infrastructure sites in the United States. As the COVID-19 pandemic and other recent crises have proven, because of the interconnectedness of nearly every global system, it is now true that the failure of any mission critical facility can prove catastrophic. Whether it be a data center, hospital, airport, or oil well, this applies to mission critical facilities of all kinds both in the U.S. and across the globe.
As threats to physical perimeters proliferate, the responsibility will fall on security professionals to design end-to-end, future proofed PIDS capable of detecting, classifying and deterring threats long before they are able to reach an end user’s perimeter. The most powerful multilayered PIDS, today, integrate multiple, complementary sensors for the most reliable threat recognition and response that not only streamlines intrusion detection, visual verification, and threat mitigation, but also an investment in a system that is built to evolve as future threats emerge.
Our panel of experts will discuss some of the more advanced and emerging technologies systems integrators are implementing for end-user organizations. These include:
- Why should you consider using high-resolution radar designed to accurately detect personnel and vehicles?
- How pairing multi-spectral cameras featuring visible and high-definition thermal sensors with radar can provide immense benefits for active operators.
- As many threats to perimeters can quickly shift position, it is critical to be able to deploy tracking capabilities as an end-to-end, multilayered PIDS that incorporates video analytics and AI.
- Though protecting a physical perimeter on the ground level is vital, it is just as important to equip a mission critical PIDS to mitigate threats from the air, so how do you effectively integrate Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), also known as drones into your plan?
