As the demand for always-on digital infrastructure grows, so do the requirements for robust physical security systems to protect against insider threats, data theft, sabotage and other risks.
Securitas will reportedly integrate Rohde & Schwarz’s screening tech into its multi-layered data centre security offering, introducing a screening process that is non-contact, safe and accurate.
Rohde & Schwarz QPS are trusted by government agencies and high-security organisations globally.
Not only do they deliver real time industry-specific threat detection while improving throughput, but by optimising on-site officer roles in manual screening, the QPS enable a more efficient staffing model.
“This is a perfect demonstration of how technology augments, rather than replaces, human expertise,” said Milton Plet, SVP and Head of Global Clients Data Center Group, Securitas.
“Our officers are still at the core of the solution, only better supported by real-time information to make even better decisions in order to protect our clients’ assets.”
“A smarter, more adaptive approach”
“The strategic partnership with Securitas enables us to introduce our security scanners, formerly exclusive to governments, now also to data centres, where adaptability, consistency and precision are key,” added Andreas Haegele, VP Microwave Imaging, Rohde & Schwarz.
“Together we are delivering a customised, future-proof solution that adapts to both clients’ needs and the threat landscape.”
“This partnership reflects our shared commitment to innovation and client-centric solutions,” concluded Nelson Barreto, SVP, Global Clients, Securitas Technology.
“By combining electronic security expertise along with our global protective services and reach, we’re delivering a smarter, more adaptive approach to securing data centers, no matter where they’re located.”
