SIRV Wins Finalist Innovation Award 2023
SIRV wins finalist status for the Security and Fire Excellence Awards 2023: Software as a Service Innovation of the Year. It’s the seventh nomination for SIRV in as many years. On this occasion, it reflects SIRV’s situation awareness product Threat AI, an incident management product.
The need for situation awareness in incident management
Despite significant advances in security technology, when it comes to visualising threats such as protest and civil unrest and, providing decision makers with situational awareness, little has changed since World War Two. Most security operations centres receive intelligence from multiple sources. Then, use maps, magnets, and whiteboards to visualise the status, location and movement of threats, assets, and mitigation measures.
Though helpful, these tools give limited functionality and do not reflect the increased complexity in risk that organisations face.

Solution: Threat AI
Threat AI by SIRV offers organisations a significant improvement in functionality and sophistication. Web and mobile apps give rich visualisations to engage stakeholders, artificial intelligence assists decision makers and live events are recorded, ready for review.
Better, faster communication through visuals
In time sensitive environments, quick and easy communication is vital, that’s why visualisations are so valuable. Threat AI leverages visualisations to assist users and give stakeholders contextual understanding.
Threat AI features interactive, bi-directional mapping. This allows users to not only view street maps (and schematics) but also, interact with them. As a result, users can plot threats in areas of interest and update their movement. All the while, Threat AI calculates a threat’s distance from areas of interest and triggers protocols according to user defined parameters.
