As the demand for always-on digital infrastructure increases, so does the need for robust physical security systems to better protect against insider threats, data theft, sabotage and other risks.
Securitas, an intelligent security solutions company with world-leading technology and expertise, has entered into a strategic partnership with Rohde & Schwarz, the leading provider of AI-based millimeter wave screening technology. This long-term collaboration sets a new standard for data center security, bringing greater precision, data protection and agility to the world’s most critical and high-risk environments. At the heart of the partnership is the integration of Rohde & Schwarz’s screening technology into Securitas’ multi-layered data center security offering, introducing a touchless, secure and accurate screening process.
“This is a great example of how technology complements, rather than replaces, human expertise,” said Milton Plet, senior vice president and head of the Global Clients Data Center Group at Securitas. “Our employees remain the central part of the solution, but they receive valuable support through real-time information to make even more informed decisions to protect our customers’ property.”
The Quick Personnel Security Scanners (QPS) from Rohde & Schwarz are trusted by government agencies and high-security organizations worldwide. They enable industry-specific threat detection in real time, significantly increasing throughput while improving operations. The QPS optimizes manual screening tasks for employees and enables a more efficient staffing concept. Monitoring and response can be done remotely in real time, making the access process not only safer and faster, but also more cost-effective. Based on millimeter wave technology and artificial intelligence, the QPS uses algorithms to detect anomalies and directly support security staff in their decisions.
“The strategic partnership with Securitas allows us to bring our security scanners, previously reserved exclusively for governments, to data centers where adaptability, consistency and precision are critical,” says Andreas Haegele, Vice President Microwave Imaging at Rohde & Schwarz. “Together, we are delivering a tailored, future-proof solution that adapts to both the needs of our customers and a dynamic threat environment.”
The QPS supports with clear data such as monitoring alarm rates and optimizing operations. It helps to keep operations stable, comply with regulatory requirements and ensure a better user experience – even in demanding and sensitive environments.
“This partnership reflects our shared commitment to innovation and customer-centric solutions,” says Nelson Barreto, Senior Vice President Global Clients at Securitas Technology. “By combining our expertise in electronic security with our global protection services and reach, we offer a smarter and more flexible approach to securing data centers, regardless of their location.”
With over 90 years of experience in the security industry, Securitas relies on integrated services and modern technology to provide intelligent and scalable security solutions for the world’s most critical infrastructure, continuing to set the standard.
