Major Aerospace Company Automates Asset Management
The O&M division of an aerospace and global security company was using spreadsheets to manually track more than 3,000 assets assigned to students and staff. Maintaining audit trails for this high volume of equipment became increasingly time-consuming and challenging. The chore involved knowing precisely what equipment was on hand, what had been issued, its location and the name of the custodial owner of each item. Every aspect of this task was carried owner of each item. Every aspect of this task was carried out by individuals with spreadsheets. Manually documenting the full lifecycle of each asset added to the burden. This included tracking maintenance requirements and records, incidents and damages, repairs, calibrations, depreciation, and end-of-life data.

Securing a Large Data Center in the EMEA Region: An IoT Case Study
A leading data-center operator in the EMEA region, with multiple facilities spanning over 25,000 square meters, faced significant security challenges. The operator experienced interruptions in their internal IT network due to unsupervised work of third-party technicians. Despite having a high-end building control system that provided 24x7 monitoring and control to all the building’s infrastructure, the data center was vulnerable from a cyber perspective as it was connected to the IT network infrastructure. The operator launched an urgent OT cyber security project that included both IT-OT network segmentation and OT network asset mapping and anomaly detection. The main objectives were to harden the security of the server systems, secure the facility’s power supply and server cooling system, strengthen the segmentation between building and operational systems, create a visual OT network map, and set up a system for presenting supply-chain attacks that may threaten the data center through equipment vendors’ maintenance activities.

Enhancing Security Precision with IoT: A Case Study of Guardsman Group
Guardsman Group, a leading security company in the Caribbean, faced a significant challenge in maintaining the security of its digital infrastructure. The company provides security equipment, personnel, and systems for various businesses across the region. However, one of its offices experienced a security incident that affected all communications at that location. The existing security tools were not sufficient to provide the necessary protection, and it took hours to identify the source of the issue. This incident highlighted the need for a dynamic solution that could proactively identify threats. The company's primary concern was any disruption to its business, as it manages a significant portion of Jamaica's money and cannot afford for its operations to go down.

Enhancing City Security through IoT: A Case Study of Atlanta
The city of Atlanta, with a resident population of over 420,000 and a metropolitan area of more than five million people, faced the challenge of ensuring the safety and security of its citizens and visitors. As a leading tourist destination and a multicultural city attracting global investment, Atlanta had to deal with the complexities of managing safety and security incidents. Over the years, the city had invested in various surveillance systems, providing visual intelligence to law enforcement and security professionals. However, these systems operated independently and were spread across a wide geography. The city aimed to increase collaboration among government agencies and create a shared Video Integration Center (VIC). The challenge was the disparate nature of the video systems, which were based on proprietary technologies and were both analog and IP based. The city also wanted to leverage the numerous private cameras located across the city, further complicating the integration of all these systems into one common platform.

Implementing Integrated Security Management in Dublin Port Tunnel
The Dublin Port Tunnel, a €752m project and the largest civil engineering project in Ireland, required a comprehensive and fully integrated security management solution. The tunnel, which spans 5.6 km and acts as a link between Dublin Port and the national motorway network, needed a single security management system located at the main on-site control room to centrally monitor and control the entire tunnel. The goal was to create a safe facility and environment for tunnel users. The scale of the project necessitated a high-end security solution that incorporated CCTV, intruder alarms, intercoms, and central monitoring via a single Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system.
