Security
Platform Offered for U.S. Chemical Industry
ARINC Inc., Annapolis, plans to unveil an integrated
security platform targeted to the current and future needs of U.S.
chemical facilities. The solution expands on ARINC's expertise, spanning
over 25 years, in supplying 10 CFR 73.55-compliant security systems to
Nuclear Regulatory Commission Licensee facilities.
ARINC is cooperating with two other technology providers, BroadWare
Inc., Santa Clara, Calif., and Hirsch Electronics, Santa Ana, Calif., to
demonstrate a set of integrated, field-proven security technologies for
the chemical industry at the Chemical Sector Security Summit, June
11-13, Booth #9, at the Fairview Park Marriott in Falls Church, Va. The
companies have formed an open consortium -- the Open Standards Security
Alliance -- to move the U.S. chemical facilities security industry
toward open standards.
The Department of Homeland Security has recognized that chemical
facilities require regulation and compliance standards similar to those
that ensure security for the nation's nuclear facilities. The platform
at Booth #9 will include command and control, intrusion detection, video
surveillance, access control and biometric integration.
