Security Infrastructure Recommendations

To further secure corporate offices and Timor Plaza, I recommend the following advanced security integration:

A. Surveillance & AI Detection

• Product: Avigilon Unity (Motorola Solutions)

  • Why: Specifically designed for banks and high-traffic commercial areas like Timor Plaza. It features AI-powered facial recognition and unusual activity detection to identify banned individuals or security threats in real-time.

• Alternative: Hikvision DeepinView Series for cost-effective but high-performance perimeter protection.

B. Access Control & Biometrics

• Product: HID Global (Signo/iCLASS SE)

  • Why: The global standard for access control. I suggest installing Biometric (Fingerprint/Iris) Readers for the Central Bank and high-security server rooms to ensure only authorized personnel have access.

• Product: CDVI KRYPTO (Military Grade)

  • Why: Features AES-128 encryption, making card cloning impossible. Ideal for secure office environments.

C. Network Perimeter Defense (Firewall)

• Product: Fortinet FortiGate (60F or 100F series)

  • Why: A Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) that offers superior threat protection (SD-WAN, SSL inspection, and malware prevention) for Timor Plaza’s diverse tenant network and ENI’s corporate traffic.
