International. Pivot3 announced the launch of its Virtual Security Operations Center (Virtual SOC), designed to address the need for security teams to access customers' workstations running video surveillance and other related systems in multiple unused locations without using expensive, dedicated hardware for customer workstations.
With the Pivot3 Virtual SOC, security teams can now get fully functional security workstation capabilities, including video surveillance, access control, PSIM and other security-related systems, on more devices, more securely and cost-effectively than desktop workstations.
The Pivot3 Virtual SOC offers fully functional client workstation capability to any device, including low-cost/zero thin clients, remote PCs and laptops, video walls, and mobile devices. Video data is stored and protected in the Virtual SOC's central storage system, while only a secure, encrypted desktop image is transmitted to the remote device, ensuring that all sensitive information remains secure and secure at the host's central site. This also allows the security team to share videos with external agencies and organizations in a more immediate, secure and bandwidth-efficient manner. The Pivot3 Virtual SOC works with any video management software, regardless of brand.
"Security teams must have the ability to access video and related systems securely on any device, including mobile clients, to facilitate a faster and smarter response to an incident," said Brandon Reich, Vice President of Security and IoT, Pivot3. "The Pivot3 Virtual SOC offers virtualized video workstation capability that provides greater security, a faster solution, and a rich mobile experience for better situational awareness, and provides compelling economics by eliminating the need for expensive, dedicated workstations."
Organizations with distributed locations such as university, corporate, and medical campus environments, airports, safe cities, casinos, entertainment complexes, and correctional facilities benefit from high-performance virtual security workstations to provide real-time information in the event of an incident. An administrator or security agency can leverage the Pivot3 virtual SOC to deliver real-time, fully functional security systems to any mobile device in use by distributed security personnel, reducing their risk through better situational awareness and faster response.
"Within mission-critical security environments, organizations require a scalable, easy-to-manage solution that maintains the integrity of mission-critical video and data," said Todd Brown, president of Affinitech, Inc. "The Pivot3 virtual SOC exceeds all expectations by offering a cost-effective replacement for physical workstations, improve ROI and increase operator visibility."
