SECURITYFundamental As Never Before

The Challenges of Today

Today’s world is faced by multiple threats. Terrorism and cyber-crime are on the rise, and natural disasters and epidemics loom. People are increasingly mobile in their daily lives, for both business and pleasure, creating unprecedented traffic in the world’s airports and public spaces. Digital information is also circulating at rates never seen before, augmenting the need for secure channels for transactions and sensitive information. Many traditional borders have become virtual as globalisation is the norm.

In this context, physical and cyber security is essential for the safety of people, assets, infrastructures and data. Mission-critical systems must be scalable to new traffic volumes, and must be available 24/7. Security and safety systems are no longer options: they make up the backbone of our infrastructures.

SECURITY■ Protection of people, information, goods and assets against

any deliberate malicious attacks.

SAFETY■ Dependable fault-free operations and infrastructures.

■ Ensured business continuity.

■ Prevention of injury to users and operators’ personnel in the presence

of accidental events.

MISSION CRITICAL■ No downtime.

■ Operations fully under control in any circumstances.

■ Crucial for social, political and economic life.

Case Study

Critical Infrastructure Control & ProtectionOur contemporary world makes security-engineering civil infra-structure a top regional and national priority. Vital assets, both physical and virtual, are essential to uninterrupted public serv-ices in ground transportation, airport, energy and government infrastructures, where local authorities or operators must keep citizens and services safe while protecting privacy. Our critical infrastructures are highly sophisticated, incorporating human assets and both physical and cyber systems that are highly interdependent. Turnkey solutions from Thales can coun-ter the vulnerabilities of these infrastructures and facilities, to support processes for optimal business functioning. Real-time modular and automated access control, video surveillance and intrusion detection are centralised at control stations that are able to stream activity at every critical point, and equipped with smart-network monitoring to immediately identify anomalies.

This type of rapid and accurate information sharing is critical when securing public transport systems. Current systems, must be upgraded to expand service, increase service fre-quency, and improve efficiency.

Case Study

Val d’Oise Fire Brigade

The fire brigade and

rescue services in

France’s Val d’Oise have

an integrated emergency

response system

developed by Thales.

The system handles an

average of 100,000 calls

per year, managing all

aspects of the rescue

mission including

analysis of the first call,

allocating resources and

realtime monitoring of

the operation’s progress.

Public Safety, Emergency Preparedness & Response ManagementLocal authorities must keep citizens secure while protecting privacy. Thales offers urban security solutions that combine CCTV intelligent surveillance system, face recognition and behaviour analysis for increased security in high-risk areas.

To protect cities and their populations from all manner of significant danger, public safety policies must encompass emergencies arising from human error, natural disasters and malicious acts. These emergency services are generally pro-vided by police, fire and emergency medical teams.

Thales Safety & Security Operations Centre (SSOC) has multi-agency interoperability so fire brigades, police forces and emergency medical services can work in close cooperation. Integrated emergency response systems analyse incoming emergency calls, identify the resources needed and automati-cally alerts the closest emergency squad. Synthetic environ-ments enable civil servants to better prepare their missions.

Thales has designed a field operation vehicle enabling the evaluation of the threat of biological and chemical agents as soon as it is suspected.

Public Service AdministrationGovernment departments, local authorities and other public bodies are facing the dual challenge of meeting growing public demands for greater cost efficiency and better service deliv-ery. A successful transformation must also integrate the high-est levels of security to maintain—or increase—a community’s economic attractiveness to both businesses and citizens.

The ability for citizens to receive healthcare, pay taxes online, register their vehicles or post an e-complaint—all the inter-action available through e-citizenship—can be managed elec-tronically through a trusted platform. For identity documents, Thales uses proven, secure technologies, such as smart cards, biometrics, and cryptographic products including Public Key Infrastructure, to create a trusted environment.

IntelligenceGovernmental agencies look to a variety of tools to ensure national security. State-of-the-art communications and surveil-lance systems are essential for effective early warning, cri-sis management, national defence and and the protection of covert operations. But the decision of where and when to act relies on intelligence analysis.

Thales’s intelligence software platform correlates large amounts of information, whatever the source, and provides users and analysts with a complete set of functionalities. Its information analysis includes automatic documentary process-ing, dynamic cartography and analysis support. Thales sys-tems are protected from cyber-hackers at every access point, with a complete set of IT security solutions.

Border SecuritySeamless information-sharing for green, yellow and blue bor-ders, and coordinated communication with the broader law enforcement communities can enable border control agencies to anticipate inspections to ensure compliance with entry and import permits.

Cost-effective integrated and modular Thales systems com-bine intelligence and automation, enabling efficient, multi-cri-teria analysis to detect potential threats. Intrusion-detection information is gathered via system-integrated acquisition modules or via connections with other sub-systems. Thales selects sensors (radar, cameras, microwaves, and others) that are adapted to the environment, terrain, operating con-ditions and level of security desired.

Passenger flow has increased everywhere. Gatekeepers must enhance the security at check points through the use of digital identity documents. As part of a biometric passport control system, Thales demonstrates chip access security and integration of a high-performance e-passport reading solution for passport control in less than five seconds.

THALES helps governments and businesses offer more services while optimising operations and increasing security.
