AGT International introduces unique multi-zone security approach for critical asset protection

November 8, 2011

Berlin --- AGT Germany, part of AGT International, one of the fastest growing public safety and security solutions organizations in the world, introduced its unique multi-zone security approach for the protection of critical assets at the Congress on European Security and Defence in Berlin. “The protection of national critical infrastructure is vital to the maintenance and preservation of national resilience” said Prof. Dr. Lutz Heuser, CEO AGT Germany and CTO AGT International, during a key note speech on Security and Safety in the Information Age. “We are presenting a unique approach to critical asset safety and security which integrates existing operational, surveillance and dispatch systems with ad-hoc deployments of mobile sensors and communication components.“

The AGT approach to critical asset safety and security integrates automatic components and processes, to both conserve resources and reduce human errors. Applied through different zones and layers of security, a network of existing and dedicated sensors collects volumes of structured and unstructured data from multiple sources, including sensors, the web, and human operators. “AGT International’s automatic multi-zone security approach emphasizes hierarchical command and control methods to decrease factors of human error, increase cost-effectiveness and deploy the highest level of safety and security for critical assets”, said Professor Heuser.

AGT International is a major participant at the Congress on European Security and Defence. At the accompanying exhibition, the organization is presenting its innovative offerings in the areas of urban management, including emergency response, crime centre, mega events, safe city, traffic management and environmental monitoring. “The multi-zone security approach outlined today is part of AGT International’s portfolio of solutions, which allow Governments and corporations to predict, prepare for, prevent and manage challenges to security and public safety,” said Mati Kochavi, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of AGT International. “This is achieved through the combination of multi-level sensor technology, data analysis capabilities and unique algorithms, which enables continuity of services and supplies.”
