There are similarities to cyber crime attacks and physical facility breaches that are not being tracked today and can be predictive in nature. That will have to change.
Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) is morphing from “alerting” and post-incident-only management platforms and into incorporating a “predictive” behavioral component in their solutions. This is a natural progression being driven in large part by societal trends, the expansion of the Internet, and end user deployments within an accelerating global crime environment. The future is here and PSIM platforms must evolve to address the blended threat of digital and physical crime.
“PSIM identifies a category of products that integrate an organization’s disparate security devices and systems into a single common operating picture. These systems can identify, verify, and resolve emergency and business situations in real time,” states the PSIM Trends website (www.psimtrends.com), a website that was created to provide information from industry thought-leaders about the PSIM market.
