TRUSYS to Speak at the ASIS Technology Expo

On December 15, 2009 the ASIS Puget Sound Chapter is sponsoring the 2009 Fall Technology Seminar and Exhibitions at Microsoft Corporation Campus.  This year there will be a focus on emerging Security and Safety technologies and their convergence with Information Technology systems.

 John Gargett, R-SEC Professional and TRUSYS Principal will be presenting “Risk, Safety, Security, Emergency & Crisis Management – An Integrated Model” which will cover the concept of development of a Risk, Safety, Security, Emergency & Crisis Management (R-SEC) program.  Using the T4 Operational Excellence framework Mr. Gargett will demonstrate how to bring together the organizational silos of information contained in the different departments across the enterprise.  This provides sustainable communication in order to address all of the risks, security threats, emergencies and crisis situations that the enterprise faces.

TRUSYS to Conduct Workshop on Continuity of Operations

On December 2, 2009, John Gargett, R-SEC Professional and TRUSYS Principal, will be conducting a workshop for the Washington State Transportation Training Coalition in Everett, WA. This class will cover the basic tenants of Continuity of Operations, as well as introducing students to the concepts of T4 Operational Excellence (which is the framework for any organization doing risk, security, emergency and crisis management). The underlying principle is simple, consisting of teams of people, using proven organizational techniques, with current technologies, all brought together with regular training. The result will enable a transit agency to provide continued delivery of services and programs through any security, emergency, or crisis situation.

This class will benefit operations supervisors, safety managers, general managers, security personnel, maintenance managers, public information officers and anyone else who is involved in the continuity of operations before, during, or after an emergency.

For further information, including cost and registration, you can contact the Washington State Transportation Training Coalition by going to http://www.wsttc.org/calendar.asp?classid=179&bcid=2

TRUSYS to Attend Opening of the National Public Security Integration Center in The Hague

President and CEO of TRUSYS, Ryan Taylor, and TRUSYS R-SEC Professional John Gargett have been invited to attend the opening of the Public Security Integration Center.  The Public Security Innovation Center (PSIC) is the organization for technology innovation in public security. Public security is the domain of hundreds of technologies: voice, data and video communication, physical, network and biological sensors, as well as geospatial intelligence and analytical models. Incident command and operations center management and hazard forecast and vulnerability analysis, handheld wireless data sharing, visualization and situational awareness and surveillance and smart video analytics.

 

The PSIC has established data interoperability by adopting the Unified Incident Command Decision Support System (UICDS.)

UICDS is a “middleware framework” designed to support information sharing for the National Response Framework and the National Incident Management System, including the Incident Command System. UICDS is built around data standards and the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) to enable information sharing and decision support among commercial, academic, volunteer, and government incident management technologies used across the country to prevent, protect, respond, and recover from natural, technological, and terrorist events. UICDS will link homeland security and emergency management organizations, from incident command at the scene of an emergency to local and state operations centers to federal departments and agencies, from intelligence fusion centers to transportation management centers to health service organizations, and many others. UICDS is the standards-based middleware that will expose selected data from commercial and government external applications and allow relevant emergency personnel to subscribe to that information in order to have a common situational awareness.
