Security isn’t just about technology—it’s about understanding behavior.

The safety and protection of your staff and the public, and the security of your building are integral to any business, but today’s threat landscape is more complex, than ever before. The need for your security response to be accurate, fast and adaptive has never been more important.

A single security breach has the power to impact beyond that immediate ‘moment in time’. It can spiral into potential financial, operational, and reputational damage, taking years to recover from. Not to mention that regulatory and compliance violations can be costly, and legal action and liability claims can be debilitating. The impact to reputational damage and loss of trust caused by negative media and public scrutiny can ruin your competitive advantage.

The rise in sophisticated intrusion threats is also running alongside a shift in the way operations are handled. The introduction to 'always-on' facilities, and flexible workforces means traditional security models are no longer sufficient for these new environments.

Advanced situational awareness is the ability to rapidly perceive, process, and respond in dynamic environments. It is achieved by creating a proactive security framework that brings together heightened observation, pattern recognition, and predictive thinking to not only react to threats but actively prevent them. This ability to not just see but to know more about threats in real time, respond with precision, and continuously adapt to emerging risks is crucial for maintaining safety, business continuity, and operational stability.

Multi-layered security is how we do that. By creating several barriers for potential intruders, it becomes more difficult for them to breach the facility. The combination of security technologies strengthens each stage of the security journey from initial detection, through to identification and tracking, stopping threats before they can cause harm.

Don’t just see… know. Taking you beyond the visible

FLIR’s multi-layered security solutions integrates intelligent imaging and sensing solutions, along with tools that continuously enhance action and response.

Our products are designed to provide accurate detections through all hours of the day and, critically, low light and night.

  • Greater site coverage
  • Increased deterrence and risk mitigation
  • Increased detection accuracy
  • Faster response to incidents
