Event Zero’s next generation monitoring platform delivers core capability in security and surveillance contexts through industry leading data collection, correlation and analysis, and response support. Designed from the ground up to meet challenges on the scale of national security and law enforcement, the Event Zero platform provides the foundation for delivering public safety and criminal justice outcomes.

Typical Security and Surveillance Challenges

The business and technical requirements of security and surveillance operations in threat identification are significantly complex:
• Addressing a wide variety of target types— for example, persons, vehicles, mobile phones, access cards, financial transactions, or online activities.
• Sourcing data from different types of infrastructures— for example, CCTV, ANPR, or GSM.
• Accessing data sources with short lead and delivery timeframes, with limited resources
• Handling large volumes of data under complex analysis
• Collecting data from, and providing data across, multiple agencies and jurisdictions
• Building actionable intelligence in real time, and integrating with historical activity
• Assuring data sufficiently to support legal processes— for example, the chain of custody or forensic integrity
• Balancing the right to privacy with the need to protect.

Event Zero Solution Framework

Event Zero’s solutions for security and surveillance are based on the deployment of a next generation monitoring platform enabled by industry leading event processing technologies.

Event Zero’s EPN-based solution meets the key requirements of security and surveillance contexts:

Event Zero’s EPN-based solution meets the key requirements of security and surveillance contexts:
• Support for over 60 industry-standard protocols for data capture, ranging from ICT infrastructure through to industrial automation and control.
• Internally secured communications with ingress to egress point data integrity, verification, and validation
• Vertical and horizontal scaling to support tens of thousands of data sources and a throughput of billions of events per day.
• State-oriented analysis engine for universal and persistent person and object-of-interest tracking.
• Built-in flexible visualization framework for web dashboards and reporting.
• On-demand data anonymization or resolution to support privacy.
• Comprehensive data segmentation, access control and security framework for multi-agency support.

An important common security and surveillance requirement is the ability to track objects of interest, for example, vehicles. Event Zero has used combinations of existing detection infrastructure, including GPS transponders, ANPR/ALPR, toll transponders, and human sightings, and combined these event sources with GIS technologies and the EPN’s dynamically created analysis rule set capability and historical data storage to provide comprehensive vehicle tracking solutions.

Advantages to the Event Zero Approach

A key feature of any platform deployed for security and surveillance solutions is that it must be adaptable in real time to support emergent analysis requirements. Traditional ICT infrastructure and applications often require extended timeframes for deployment and further significant investments for incremental changes, neither of which are aligned with the highly operational footing of security and intelligence businesses. By contrast, the Event Zero event processing network platform offers a lightweight deployment footprint (measured in days to weeks, rather than months to years), and ground-up support for iterative and emergent analysis models. Consequently, using the Event Zero platform, new analytical capability can be deployed rapidly, as new threat scenarios are identified, to allow national security and law enforcement agencies to react quickly and respond effectively.

• Lightweight data source integration.
• Time, effort, and cost to solution delivery are drastically shortened, providing better alignment with security and intelligence operational requirements.
• The platform solution approach enables multiple and variant analyses requirements to be met using shared data, and provides investment amortization across many different operational scenarios.
• Security assured data collection, analysis, storage and delivery.
