ARINC Inc. has released AIM ESP, a new Enterprise Security Platform that is a scaled-down version of the supplier’s AIM Security Computer System (SCS) — widely used for security management at U.S. nuclear electric power plants and government installations. The new platform retains key SCS characteristics related to facility monitoring and command & control, along with open-platform flexibility and scalability. The system uses component-based architecture to provide plug-and-play integration for a range of COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) security hardware and software applications. Users may build an effective security platform based on standard requirements for access control, intrusion detection, IP/CCTV surveillance, biometric integration and third-party interfaces — all using COTS equipment and interfaces.
