The NIS2 Directive (Network and Information Security Directive 2) is a European Union regulation adopted in 2022 and effective from October 2024, which aims to strengthen the cybersecurity and resilience of critical infrastructure and essential services across the EU against cyber and physical threats.

According to this NIS2 Directive, companies must implement advanced security measures to protect their critical infrastructures against physical and cyber threats, ensure operational continuity and manage incidents efficiently. With penalties that can reach €10 million or 2% of global turnover, complying with this regulation is not only a legal obligation, but also an opportunity to improve operational resilience and modernize security infrastructures.

In this context, SCATI offers state-of-the-art solutions designed to meet NIS2 requirements, optimizing resources and strenghtening operational security.

Video surveillance in the cloud for critical infrastructure: secure base stations with SCATI CLOUD

by Paula Gracia | Nov 21, 2024 | Blog, products-cameras, SCATI News, solutions-infrastructures-critiques

A leading European company in wireless telecommunications infrastructure has chosen SCATI CLOUD cloud video surveillance platform for a protection pilot project in some of its base stations, thanks to its advanced, adaptable and scalable capabilities.

CHALLENGE

As Europe’s leading operator of telecommunications infrastructure, the company provides connectivity in many countries and manages numerous base stations. Some of these critical connectivity facilities are located in vulnerable areas and face continuous risks of component theft. These incidents not only affect service continuity, but also generate high replacement and maintenance costs.

Implementing a fixed security infrastructure at each base station would be unfeasible due to the high cost and lack of flexibility, as these stations need to adapt quickly to specific threats or situations. Therefore, a flexible and efficient security solution was required that would allow equipment to be relocated in an agile manner, without the need for new installations at each location. This pilot project evaluates the performance of SCATI CLOUD, with a view to future expansion to other high-risk stations in Europe.

SOLUTION

SCATI CLOUD is an advanced video surveillance solution in the cloud that allows managing and storing images in real time, facilitating remote and centralized control of all the company’s stations. The solution includes high-resolution cameras with IP technology, which offer a fast and accurate response to any incident, as well as a fully adaptable infrastructure for critical stations.

This system includes in each station a 4-megapixel PTZ IP Dome camera (model SID-36135R-EXY32) on the tower to monitor the perimeter. This camera features 32x optical zoom and infrared technology to capture images in low visibility conditions. In addition, four 2-megapixel Minidome IP cameras (model SEM-3513R-EY2): three monitoring the plot area and one in the technical cabin, providing coverage of strategic areas.

For recording management, all cameras are connected to the SL-LXU-N04-CLOUD cloud storage platform, which allows up to 16 channels to be managed simultaneously. Motion-detection image recordings ensure fast and remote access in case of incidents.

The same configuration has been replicated in the other stations. Thanks to SCATI CLOUD, operators can view real-time images from all stations from a single centralized platform, and the system is designed for quick relocation between bases without the need for complex configurations.

To ensure connectivity in any location, the solution includes a plug and play system (factory preconfigured) with a 4G router and preinstalled SIM, which allows the deployment of mobile surveillance kits, easy to install and move between stations according to security needs. This facilitates rapid response to emerging threats and allows easy installation for technicians without requiring additional configurations.

SCATI CLOUD is compatible with the rigorous security and cybersecurity standards established by the company’s IT department, ensuring the security of infrastructures, information and the protection of data transmitted in real time. This guarantees that the solution complies with the required policies, as well as being adaptable, effective and secure for high-risk telecommunications environments.

BENEFITS

The implementation of SCATI CLOUD in base stations brings a number of key benefits to maximize the security, scalability and efficiency of these critical infrastructures. With remote access and centralized control, SCATI CLOUD enables operators to monitor all stations in real time from a unified platform, accessible on mobile devices and web browsers, ensuring rapid response and eliminating the need for physical presence at each location.

Its scalability and operational flexibility allow cameras to be added and managed in an agile manner without incurring costly upgrades, a capability especially valuable in high-risk areas where security must be tailored to the specific needs of each site. In addition, the system offers secure cloud storage via Amazon Web Services (AWS) and 256-bit encryption, protecting the integrity of recordings from theft or tampering.

This reduces operating costs and simplifies installation by eliminating the need for physical storage at each station, minimizing hardware and maintenance expenses.

In short, SCATI CLOUD consolidates as a comprehensive and flexible video surveillance solution for the protection of base stations, offering real-time security, operational efficiency and full compliance with cybersecurity standards. Its flexibility allows its performance to be evaluated prior to large-scale expansion, ensuring a robust and adaptable solution for future deployments in Europe. This infrastructure not only optimizes costs, but also strengthens connectivity and continuity of essential services throughout the region.
