Critical Infrastructure

Security solutions for critical infrastructure

The functioning of Dutch society and economy depends in part on (the availability and quality of) critcal infrastructure. For example, if water treatment plants, the water supply system, power plants or the railroad network are sabotaged or hit by an accident or terrorist activity, society can be completely disrupted. Moreover, these types of events have a huge impact on the public’s perception of security and on the national economy.

Complexity

However, securing critical infrastructure is very complex. For example, an infrastructure facility has no clear boundaries; it is often a network of facilities that are connected across the country. Consequently, the security approach differs from that for delineated objects.

High Secure Experts

Thanks to our knowledge of and experience with high-security environments, Mactwin is used to realizing adequate and manageable measures from realistic risk scenarios against, among other things, accidents, sabotage and terrorist threats.

Physical Security Information Management

Within the critical infrastructure, we integrate technical measures with our Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) software. We integrate access control, intrusion detection, camera observation, video content analysis and other security systems into projects. PSIM software not only allows these technical security systems to work together, but also helps you anticipate potential threats.

In the software, per threat, workflows can be defined based on your (standard operating) procedures. In the event of an (imminent) crisis, these workflows support and guide your operators and responsible officers in making the right decisions at the right time. This always from a good situational understanding. This saves lives and prevents or minimizes damage to infrastructure.
