TruePosition Critical Infrastructure Protection Solution

The protection of critical infrastructure, such as commercial power plants, water treatment facilities, transportation hubs, government buildings —any potential target for terrorist attacks or criminal activity — presents a unique set of security challenges.

In most cases, tightening security has meant increasing the number of security guards and installing banks of video surveillance cameras. However, these solutions usually produce diminishing returns. Guards quickly become stretched beyond their limits and cannot pay constant attention to closed circuit TV (CCTV) feeds, which have proven to be more useful for investigations after an incident.

As a key component of a layered defense system, TruePosition® LOCINT™ can significantly expand current or future tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) to fortify and extend critical infrastructure protection efforts.

TruePosition LOCINT combines powerful mobile phone location technologies with sophisticated data mining to empower authorities to:

• Immediately detect perimeter breaches and identify people without proper credentials
• Bolster the safety of employees working in sensitive areas
• Expedite recovery efforts with timely forensic location intelligence

Immediately detect perimeter breaches and identify people without proper credentials.

A TruePosition LOCINT geofence creates a virtual electronic fence of practically any size — large enough to surround a power plant, water treatment facility, or a chemical plant. Once activated, this creates an invisible tripwire around the facility that triggers real-time alerts when anyone approaches or enters the perimeter — and distinguishes between authorized personnel and potential perpetrators.

Bolster the safety of employees working in sensitive areas.

Incorporating geofencing and traffic monitoring around sensitive areas, and establishing approved and barred lists provides the ability to locate employees' whereabouts at all times — enhancing their safety and security.

Expedite investigations and recovery efforts in the event of a disaster.

Constantly monitoring the network, TruePosition LOCINT captures a wealth of mobile and location information, which can be extremely valuable in crime investigation and disaster recovery situations. For example:

• An explosion destroys an oil refinery — who, exactly, was inside the facility prior to the explosion?
• An improvised explosive device (IED) is used in a terrorist act — what was the mobile number that set if off and, more importantly, what were the events associated with this phone number before the explosion?

Looking back in time at all mobile locations and call activity, TruePosition LOCINT can recreate events and identify both suspects and their associates.

Hundreds of thousands of trucks and railroad tank cars transport tons of hazardous materials (hazmats) daily. These shipments can be used as instruments or targets of terror...there are too many points of vulnerability to ensure security during hazmat transportation. A major challenge is to cost effectively increase the security of these shipments, especially those that pose the most danger to the public, while still meeting, to the extent possible, the transportation requirements of commerce.
