Critical Infrastructure.

Protecting essential services and enabling coordinated response with WinGuard, the open integration platform for critical infrastructure operations.

The Challenge

Risks rising.
Regulation tighter.

Critical infrastructure operators must keep essential services available while protecting people, facilities, and operational processes from physical attacks, technical failures, and security incidents. Fire detection, perimeter protection, video surveillance, access control, building systems, and incident management technologies must interact reliably. Control room teams need to identify critical events quickly, maintain a complete operational picture, and coordinate a secure response without being overwhelmed by routine notifications or false alarms.

  • Service continuity

    Failures or security incidents must be contained before they disrupt services that communities and organizations depend on.

  • Physical and technical protection

    Perimeter, access, video, fire, building, and communication systems must support one coordinated security strategy.

  • Clear event priorities

    Operators must distinguish critical alarms from false alarms, maintenance messages, and routine system notifications.

  • Traceable and adaptable processes

    Security measures must remain documented, scalable, and flexible as risks, regulations, and operational requirements evolve.

The Platform

Everything at a glance.

WinGuard integrates security, building management, communication, and information systems in one unified operating interface. Operators receive the relevant information for each event, can control connected technologies, and follow defined procedures from a consistent environment. Intelligent event presentation helps reduce information overload, while open interfaces support the connection of third-party and incident management systems. The platform can be configured and expanded as sites, regulations, and operational requirements change.

  • Vendor-neutral integrations
  • Prioritized Event-processing
  • Unified Control
System architecture for energy operators: server, hot-standby, surveillance, client, video wall and mobile workstations connected over LAN; integrated subsystems include fire alarm (FAS), intrusion (IDS), CCTV, access control (AC), radio, public address (PA), perimeter and IoT

Scenarios & Solutions

The situations WinGuard handles.

01 / 04

Responding to a physical security incident before services are disrupted.

An intrusion attempt, perimeter alarm, or unauthorized access event can threaten facilities and processes that must remain continuously available. Operators need to understand where the event is occurring, which systems have been triggered, and what measures are required without switching between separate applications.

WinGuard consolidates alarms and related information from connected security systems in one operational view. Operators can assess the situation, control relevant technologies, and follow defined response procedures. By bringing all available information together, the platform supports a faster and more consistent response to physical threats.

02 / 04

Separating critical alarms from routine system messages.

Critical infrastructure environments generate large volumes of alarms, faults, maintenance notifications, and routine messages. When every notification competes for attention, important events can be harder to identify and operators may lose valuable time.

WinGuard presents relevant information in a unified interface and supports structured event processing based on the type and priority of the message. This helps control room teams distinguish urgent incidents from false alarms and daily operational notifications, focus on the events that require action, and process them according to defined procedures.

03 / 04

Coordinating emergency response with shared situational context.

During a serious incident, internal teams and emergency services need coordinated information and clearly assigned actions. Separate systems can make it difficult to maintain a shared operational picture and mobilize the right resources quickly.

WinGuard connects security technologies with higher-level incident management systems through open interfaces. Operators can assess the situation and support a coordinated intervention. Centralized event handling and documented procedures keep actions fast, consistent, and traceable.

Companion use case

Standardizing access for employees and contractors.

Critical infrastructure operators manage employees, contractors, service providers, and visitors across facilities with different access control and visitor management systems. Manual enrollment can reduce visibility, increase administrative work, and leave outdated permissions in place.

AIM provides a central layer for identity enrollment and authorization across existing systems. Automated joiner, mover, and leaver processes keep permissions aligned with current roles, while controlled workflows support temporary and third-party access. Central visibility improves oversight of sensitive areas and helps enforce consistent policies without replacing the installed infrastructure.
