High Security
Gallagher high security solutions are proven to meet the challenging requirements of government, defence and research facilities
Gallagher’s security platform protects high security sites against a technical attack or system compromise from internal or external parties.
It delivers end-to-end superior system security through very high levels of data encryption and monitored communications by implementing a minimum encryption key length of 256 bits coupled with stronger encryption algorithms.
By drawing on a combination of system division and operator privileges, both high and regular security areas can be supported through this single platform. For a premium solution, Gallagher’s scalable system can also be combined with:
• DVR Interface to integrate imaging systems
• Cardholder PhotoID and Card Encoding to enable image capture, card design, card printing and encoding
• Cardholder Challenge gives operators the ability to visually confirm the identity of a cardholder who has badged their card at a reader. The cardholder’s image is compared against a live image from a third-party system
• Integrate biometric technologies to verify user’s ID
• Anti-passback configuration prevents a cardholder gaining access to a zone and then passing the card out to another person for entry
• Anti-tailgating configuration prevents people from following other cardholders into a building without presenting their own card on entry by generating an alarm on exit
• Zone counting for live counts of cardholder numbers present in specific access zones
• ‘No alone zones’ configuration ensures that when a high security area is occupied, at least two people are recorded as present
• Gallagher Trophy FT perimeter security systems deter and detect would-be intruders with virtually no false alarms.

Case Study: ANSTO
The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) is Australia’s national nuclear research and development organisation and the centre of Australian nuclear expertise. Its nuclear infrastructure includes the Open Pool Australian Light-water (OPAL) Research Reactor, Australia’s only nuclear reactor. The organisation manages high and medium security areas on Gallagher's single security platform
Defence
Gallagher systems are extremely efficient in securing the perimeters of military bases. Government departments have carried out successful field trials to validate the Gallagher security electric fence system for military sites.

Critical Infrastructure
Utilities: Oil and Gas, Power Generation and Supply, Water Utilities
Utilities: Oil and Gas, Power Generation and Supply, Water Utilities
Utilities sites require reliable security solutions with a high degree of configurability and redundancy to protect its critical infrastructure. For these and other reasons, many choose Gallagher to help solve the challenge of mitigating the safety risks to the public and their staff.
As well as preventing vandalism, theft, contamination and terrorism, we provide our customers with solutions for visibility and control over multiple sites.
Gallagher is unique in that our security system delivers perimeter security, access control, intruder alarms and compliance management on one platform, reducing the risk of utilities management being sued for security negligence. The use of multiple platform systems may mean that there is inadequate protection to the Critical National Infrastructure (CNI).
Gallagher’s electric fence perimeter system is also tried and tested, having undergone full government attack trials and have been approved for CNI at the highest levels.
Gallagher also delivers excellent value, particularly by spreading the lifetime cost of the system over many years.

Gallagher delivers business value through:
Automating Compliance
• Conform to local ordinances/regulations related to electric fencing. The Gallagher Code of Practice and minimum installation standards exceed the requirements of all national and international standards regarding safety and the application of electric fence systems
• Duty of care and limitation of liability through perimeter containment
• Automate and enforce guard tours
• Automatically enforce compliance with policy in every access control decision
RISK MANAGEMENT
• Remote site protection: multiple site security management from a single platform
• Visitor and contractor access management
• Automate compliance with OSH policy/requirements such as fitness for work, exposure and fatigue management, drug and alcohol testing
• Management of personnel perishable skills. Prevent access denial based on pending competency expiries
• Reduce the risk of legal action for negligence in making correct security decisions
• Operational continuity of service delivery
• Staff safety through destination assurance
• Perimeter detection systems provide a visual deterrent
• Reduce risk of theft and contamination
EMERGENCY AND INCIDENT MANAGEMENT
• Evacuation accountability – mustering capability. Full audit trail of events is recorded in the system in real time
• Isolation and lockdown of areas – predefine criteria which triggers a lockdown of access to all or part of your site
• Use of surveillance footage for incident control and providing evidence
• Integrated intruder alarms – fully integrated intruder alarms functionality means there is no need for a separate intruder alarms system
• Alerts via SMS notifications
OPERATIONAL COST REDUCTION
• Contractor invoice reconciliation through time on site reports issued by access control system
• Reduced vandalism. Deter and detect would-be intruders with perimeter fence and integrated imaging system
• Reduced operators training. A single management platform and system for access, alarms and perimeter management
• Network-friendly system
• Minimise your business downtime. Prevent unnecessary denial of access by notifying people when their competencies are about to expire
• One card site-wide access management across single or multiple sites
• One system for the lifetime of your site – a scalable and flexible system which grows with your business. Software Maintenance keeps your system current with the latest technology developments
ANSWERING VULNERABILITY THREATS
• Perimeter protection through physical and psychological deterrent capabilities (Trophy or Fence Integrity Monitor systems)
• Detection capabilities are answered quickly at the perimeter via alarms and disturbance sensor notifications
• Guard services are reduced, saving recurring labour costs as Gallagher perimeter security fence runs 24/7
• Territory coverage is greater with fewer personnel due to the perimeter physical security structure volume that it can effectively cover.
