What is a Common Operations Platform?

The real value of "Common Operations Platforms" in a security context, is the unified and standardized approach to managing and responding to multifaced security situations and incidents.

Imagine a central hub where information from different security systems and sources flows in and is analyzed. This hub allows security teams to:

• Gain a shared understanding of the situation: Everyone involved sees the same real-time information, whether it's from security cameras, access control systems, social media, or incident reports.
• Coordinate response efforts: Teams can collaborate seamlessly, assign tasks, and track progress, ensuring a swift and effective response to any incident.
• Standardize procedures: Common operating procedures are established for different types of events, ensuring consistency and efficiency in handling incidents.
• Improve decision-making: Data analysis and visualization tools help identify patterns, assess risks, and make informed decisions.
• Enhance communication: The platform facilitates clear and efficient communication among security personnel, first responders, and other stakeholders.

Think of it like an orchestra conductor. Each musician (security system or team) plays their part, but the conductor (the common operations platform) ensures everyone is in sync, playing the same tune, and working towards a shared goal.

Here's why it's important:

• Breaks down silos: Instead of different security teams working in isolation, common operations fosters collaboration and information sharing.
• Increases situational awareness: A comprehensive view of the security landscape allows for better threat assessment and risk mitigation.
• Improves response times: Coordinated efforts and standardized procedures lead to faster and more effective incident response.
• Enhances efficiency: Streamlined workflows and automated tasks optimize resource allocation and reduce response times.

Examples in action:

• A school using a common operations platform to monitor security cameras, access control systems, and social media for potential threats, and coordinating responses with law enforcement if needed.
• A city using a platform to manage large events, coordinating security personnel, monitoring crowds, and responding to incidents in real-time.
• Critical infrastructure facilities using a platform to monitor for physical and cyber threats, coordinating responses to ensure the continued operation of essential services.
