                                                  Critical Infrastructures

                                                    Smart and global solutions for the security of critical areas

                                                    Critical infrastructure protection – that is, securing airports, government and military areas, public areas, transportation networks, ports, industrial plants, etc. - raises a wide range of issues and requires solutions designed to take into account the sites’ operational constraints. Thales offers global, smart and modular solutions, customizable to cope with the most diverse situations.
                                                     
                                                    Comprehensive and smart answers
                                                    As far as security is concerned, some areas require special attention because of their strategic importance and the threats they attract - especially terrorists. Such is the case of government and military sites, some industrial facilities, but also all transportation infrastructures - particularly exposed to terrorist risk. In all these situations, the challenge is to simultaneously ensure smooth infrastructure operation and optimal security.
                                                    Thales has developed an exceptionnally agile expertise in critical area protection. Always based on a precise identification of threats involved, the designed solutions follow two guidelines:
                                                    • Addressing problems in a comprehensive way, including technical design, software architecture, human organization in the conception;
                                                    • Providing smart solutions using video and data processing to ensure accurate diagnoses and swift interventions.
                                                     
                                                    Solutions fit for every situation
                                                    Each site faces its own set of operational constraints and its own range of threats. For more than 20 years, Thales has been deploying protection systems on more than 400 sites around the world, representing just as many different problems.
                                                    Such success is built on the mastering of a wide range of technologies and a deliberately customized approach to each situation. Depending on field parameters, Thales solutions combine, in various proportions :
                                                    • High level security for people and data: Thales provides both physical security and cybersecurity;
                                                    • Increased responsiveness, faster and more relevant intervention decisions, through real-time smart analysis of surveillance data;

                                                    As nodes in the air transport network, airports play a crucial role. Airport operations are key to the overall security and safety of the air traffic infrastructure, the passengers who use it and the data flows that make it work. Countries’ entire economies are dependent on the performance of the air transport system.
