Physical Security Information Management

PSIM Definition

A Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) system is a software

platform with the following components that enhances event management and

security operation:

„Data Aggregation

„Visualization

„System Control & Communication

„Task Automation

„Incident Response Workflow

Systems Integration Levels 5 6 7 8 9 „ Reduce Costs „ Mitigate Risk „ Increase Compliance

Three Key Components of “Integration”

When deployed properly, PSIM integration will enable opportunities to optimize

business policies and procedures that directly affect the profitability of an

organization.

„ Connect – Leveraging investments in networking infrastructure to efficiently transport data in an open and standard method

„ Share – Easily share data and information between disparate systems to enable proper user visibility

Traditional Systems Integration Software Architecture

„ Connect - Integrating these systems together can reduce complexity by establishing a

“User Interface Master” for each connection

„ Many traditional integrating architectures are rigid and fragile

„ A “User Interface Master” is established for each point-to-point connection

„ Some systems do not “talk” to others

„ Compounded complexity with more than one system of a type
