Benefits of ARES Security for Complex Situations
ARES provides a comprehensive and centralized solution for managing the global security operations center in complex situations. It consolidates all security-related information and functions into a single platform (single pane of glass), enabling security professionals to respond quickly and effectively to any potential threat.
Some of the key benefits of using ARES include:
Increased Situational Awareness Across Your Enterprise | ARES always gives security professionals a clear overview of the situation, allowing them to identify potential threats and take appropriate actions. ARES technology allows hundreds of sites to be managed from one or more regional centers.
Highly Scalable Enterprise Architecture | ARES has a scalable, flexible architecture that allows for server-based central systems and full multi-tenant, SaaS-enabled deployments for your global security operations center. This architecture allows for deployment across the enterprise and allows for 100,000’s of sensors/systems to be integrated at one or across many sites.
Improved Response Through Automation | ARES streamlines and automates all aspects of your global security operations center, from incident management to resource allocation. ARES unique rules engine, automated incident response, and advanced AI/Robotics automation provides the next generation of response improvement. This increases the overall efficiency of the security team, reduces response time, and allows them to focus on the most important tasks during any event.
Enhanced Collaboration | ARES’ built-in collaboration features facilitate communication and information sharing between different sites, stakeholders, and even outside agencies, ensuring that everyone is on the same page during an incident.
Improved Decision Making | The wealth of data available through ARES helps security professionals allows ARES rules and automation engine to support better decision-making when responding to incidents.

With ARES Security, organizations can:
– Manage all their security information in one place, integrating your site digital twin, responders, and monitor the data feeds and status of all sensors/systems that are integrated.
– Get real-time visibility through a “single pain of glass” about the state of your security operations during any event at any location.
– Detect and respond to threats faster, through our rules, and advanced automation.
– Simplify complex security situations through a user specific, configurable GUI, that is tailored to your needs, and automated to support any potential incident response.
Automated Response Workflows & Inter-Company/Agency Data Sharing
In any global security operations center, time is of the essence. The ability to share information quickly and efficiently between groups, agencies and departments can mean the difference between a contained incident and a full-blown crisis.
ARES streamlines information sharing by automating response workflows and inter-company/agency data sharing. By automating key processes and providing incident/data specific security, ARES ensures that critical information is quickly and securely disseminated to the appropriate parties when needed, saving valuable time in the overall response. Additionally, the platform’s inter-company/agency data sharing capabilities allow for real-time collaboration between organizations at the click of a button, further enhancing the efficiency of the response.
What Types of Organizations Benefit from ARES Global Security Operations Center?
There are a variety of organizations that can benefit from ARES, including those in the public and private sector. In the public sector, ARES can be used by local, state, and federal government agencies to improve communication and coordination during security operations. In the private sector, ARES can be used by companies of all sizes to streamline global security operations center activtivites and to improve situational awareness, response times and automation responses to incidents.
Integrating ARES Security with Existing Systems
ARES can integrate with existing security systems to provide a more streamlined and effective global security operations center. ARES has integrations available to over 450 sensor and security systems from leading manufacturers of video management systems, access control systems, intrusion detection systems, video analytics systems, gunshot detection systems, weapons detection systems, mass notification systems, fire alarm systems, building control systems, and much more. It also includes features such as incident management, automation and reporting, which can help streamline complex situations.
By integrating ARES with existing systems, operators can take advantage of its real-time data processing capabilities to reduce response times to incidents. In addition, ARES’ situational awareness dashboards can provide a “single pane of glass” for your security information allowing valuable insights into ongoing incidents and help security teams make better decisions about how to respond.
Conclusion
ARES is a powerful platform for enhancing your global security operations center, providing streamlined visibility and control during complex situations. It enables organizations to quickly identify issues and respond effectively, it also provides the insight needed to make better decisions in real time.
