PSIM or Physical Security Information Management is referred to as a category of software, which provides applications and a platform created by the middleware developers and are designed to integrate different security devices and applications as well as control all of them through a single comprehensive user interface. PSIM correlates and collects certain events from information systems like access control, video, analytics, sensors, building systems, network and other existing disparate security devices in order to mold the personnel to identify and then proactively resolve varying situations. It also enables lots of organizational benefits including the improved management reporting and situation awareness, as well as increased control. Furthermore, these solutions can allow an organization to reduce costs by means of improving security and efficiency through higher intelligence. A complete Physical Security Information Management software system has 6 key capabilities: I. Collection The device management independent software is the one that collects data from other number of disparate security systems or devices II. Analysis The system correlates after analyzing the data, alarms, and events in order to identify the true situations as well as their priority as a whole. III. Verification The PSIM software is the one that presents the relevant information of the situation in a much easily digestible and quick format so the operator can be able to verify the situation quickly and accurately. IV. Resolution The system also provides SOPs or Standard Operating Procedures as well as step by step instructions based on the policies and best practices of an organization. Standard tools are also used to resolve certain situations. V. Reporting PSIM software tracks all steps and information for training, compliance reporting and even in-depth investigative analysis in an organization. VI. Audit trail The system software is also the one in charge in monitoring how each of the operator interacts with their system, calculates reaction times for every event, and also tracks any manual changes done into the security systems. The system solutions manage the entire data produced by different security applications, where the manufacturers of security application SDK or API allows, and then aggregates all of them in order to produce a much meaningful intelligence. That will then be converted to create graphical-based situation management content, which means combining any relevant visual intelligence and workflow based on the automated tasks and on-screen guidance. Oftentimes, this is used for event management and daily security operations. Visit ISM UK today to find out more information.
