Autonomy Unveils New Situational Awareness Web Portal to Revolutionize the Security Center
CAMBRIDGE, England andSAN FRANCISCO, California, October 6
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a
global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today unveiled
its new unique Situational Awareness Web Portal that offers global companies
the ability to control and monitor their security and surveillance activities
through a rich user interface accessible over a standard Internet connection.
This Portal not only provides security officers with a secure, comprehensive
view and analysis of security scenarios, but it also allows them access to
all relevant intelligence information without being restricted to the
Security and Control Centre. This frees security officers to engage in
hands-on investigation and monitoring throughout the premise, allowing them
to keep abreast of the situation on the rest of the premises via a mobile
device, or through portals installed in strategic locations.
Built on Autonomy's Meaning Based Computing technology, IDOL, the Portal
is an extension to Autonomy Virage's Command and Control platform that brings
together information from a wide range of applications and allows holistic
monitoring and analysis of security data in real-time. The new system is able
to understand the significance of an event and automatically connect it to
relevant intelligence. For example, an intercepted radio conversation can be
used to automatically identify the speakers, understand what is being
discussed, and retrieve any existing intelligence regarding the subject. This
helps to streamline traditional investigative methods and facilitate
investigative work by performing conceptual analysis to reveal trends and
patterns hidden in the data set.
Autonomy's unique conceptual approach to security and surveillance
enables security officers to gain an acute sense of situational awareness and
delivers the best technology that provides security officers with a critical
asset for risk assessment and incident response planning. In addition, the
Portal can be integrated with a wide variety of data sources, such as access
control, video surveillance, license plate recognition, facial recognition
and scene analysis and feed this information through a single user interface,
allowing analysis to be conducted effectively and in real-time.
"Autonomy has long been the leader in security and surveillance
technologies. The new Situational Awareness Web Portal is yet another
powerful tool to enable security professionals to connect to intelligence in
real-time, offering the unrivalled ability to automate security operations
and uncover threats which would otherwise be missed," said David Humphrey,
Managing Director of Autonomy Virage. "The Portal gives us a new leading edge
in the market and offers great advantages to companies by allowing security
officers to securely monitor and analyze intelligence through a standard
Internet Connection."
The Situational Awareness Portal is part of Autonomy Virage's Command and
Control suite which automates the capture, analysis, reporting and retrieval
of security information. It is a security infrastructure platform that
seamlessly integrates with the full range of security and surveillance
equipment creating a completely scalable security platform. For more
