Ciber Federal, a division of Ciber, said that it is partnering with CNL Software, a provider of physical security information management (PSIM) software, under which it will use the CNL software development tools to provide its clients with a command and control offering to meet their requirements for security integration and management software.

Under the agreement, CNL will work with Ciber’s Enterprise Security Solutions (ESS) group, the Ciber organisation that provides security offerings for government and commercial clients worldwide.

The Enterprise Security Solutions group provides a command and control offering CIBERSecure, which is an open-system architecture offering that has the flexibility to implement automated organisation-based policy response rules and system-to-system data sharing for comprehensive event management, the company said.

Erin Phelps, vice president of enterprise security offerings at Ciber, said: CNL software will enhance CIBERSecure’s system integration capabilities, allowing the transfer of data needed to support real-time situational awareness, as well as the sharing of event data and automated response procedures among multiple agencies.

“CIBERSecure not only capitalises on the technology investments that our clients have made so far, but importantly allows them to remain free to select the best emerging technology in the future with the confidence that it can be integrated into their overall security management as their security needs change.
