Visualization solutions can enable better and faster decision making Courtney Mamuscia is the marketing director for RGB Spectrum . Critical decision making requires access to information. Organizations rely on data visualization to present a common operating picture for more efficient assessment, faster analysis and improved responses. It can also play an essential role in enhancing surveillance systems that use cameras, as they generate large amounts of data that can be difficult to analyze manually. Data visualization has evolved considerably since its beginnings. Early systems were as simple as line graphs and bar charts that were primarily used to display statistics to help people understand complex numerical data. The advent of the internet led to a proliferation of data visualization tools and the development of interactive and real-time visualizations. One of the major developments in recent years has been the introduction of interactive and dynamic visualizations, allo...

Digital Twins Provide New, Dynamic Views of Building Operations Stephane Levyis the founder and CEO of BeamUP . Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming ubiquitous; however, when it comes to the enterprise, physical security has remained within the domain of forensics, with outdated manual methods and tools keeping these departments in the dark ages. The result: Facilities are managing expensive, inefficient and wasteful physical security protocols. Beyond cameras and controlled access, enterprises are now, for the first time, able to harness the gold mine of data held in their security systems, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, IT infrastructure, internal regulations and regulatory compliance documentation. This data can be used to visualize all systems and map them to an organization’s physical security risks, both internal and external, and show how they are interconnected within the facility and the business operation. Risky Business The outdated, manual, analog tools that...

In 2016, the defense contracting industry was taken by storm when the Department of Defense (DoD) announced its plans to create the National Background Investigation Services (NBIS) system as the replacement solution for clearance background investigations. This was part of the amended Obama administration initiative, Executive Order 13467, to have DoD support the National Background Investigations Bureau (NBIB) by handling IT systems development that supports their processes. Coincidentally around the same time, in July 2016, DoD had just rolled out the Defense Information System for Security (DISS) — slowly replacing the legacy Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) for clearance determinations. After that, the next significant updates were in September 2019, when the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) officially took over the responsibility of NBIB functions, and in October 2020, when DCSA was put in charge of finalizing the NBIS system.  From there,...
