Securing the Future: Aker Security’s Global Operations Powered by Cyviz
Aker Security‘s Global Security Operations Center (GSOC) acts as a 24/7 global hub managing centralized security, intelligence, and incident response for more than 75 companies in the Aker Group.
Facing the increasing complexity of global threats, rapid company growth, and evolving security landscapes, Aker Security initiated a major upgrade to its Global Security Operations Center. The goal was to establish a secure, reliable, and scalable platform to unify information from thousands of sources and enable fast, data-driven decision-making.
Designed to manage the growing complexity of threats for over 75 portfolio companies, the solution utilizes a software-driven platform that integrates a high-resolution unified videowall with a dual-purpose briefing room. This mission-critical infrastructure unifies thousands of data sources into a single operational picture, significantly improving the speed and accuracy of incident response through enhanced real-time visualization and seamless collaboration. By prioritizing a user-centric design, the project established a scalable and resilient blueprint that allows Aker Security to make higher-accuracy, data-driven decisions while maintaining 24/7 operational readiness.
The need to centralize the growing complexity of global threats and manage emergency response for over 75 portfolio companies with an agile, scalable, and reliable command-and-control infrastructure.
To manage the increasing complexity of global threats, Cyviz and Aker Security collaborated to design a new Global Security Operations Center (GSOC) from a blank canvas, prioritizing user experience and mission-critical workflows. Built on a standardized, software-driven platform, the solution ensures a unified and consistent experience that aligns with the Aker Group’s broader technology strategy.
Real-time Data Visualization: A high-resolution unified videowall serves as the central operational hub, aggregating content from thousands of data sources, dashboards, and multimedia feeds.
Enhanced Situational Awareness: This visualization allows security teams to effectively collaborate, plan, and react to mitigate risks in real-time.
Dynamic Workflow Control: Operators can instantly change content states or save and reload layouts, ensuring seamless content sharing between operator desks and the main videowall.
Dual-Purpose Briefing Room: A connected space designed for strategic decision-making, training simulations, and showcasing GSOC capabilities to external stakeholders.
The implementation of the Cyviz platform has transformed Aker Security’s Global Security Operations Center into a strategic asset, providing a holistic view of the organization’s risk profile on a single panel. By prioritizing user-centric design, the project achieved a workspace that optimizes information flow and ensures constant operational resilience.
Faster Incident Response: The unified view significantly improves the speed and accuracy of decision-making during critical events.
Improved Collaboration: Seamless content sharing between operator desks and the main videowall ensures full situational awareness across the entire team.
Enhanced Readiness: The integrated briefing room allows for realistic training and simulation exercises, ensuring operators are prepared for any scenario.
Data-Driven Leadership: Centralized control enables leadership to make richer, higher-accuracy decisions based on interconnected, real-time data.
Future-Ready Scalability: The software-based platform is a blueprint for modern infrastructure, designed to easily integrate new data points and visual models as the security landscape evolves.
