Hidden threats could cripple your critical infrastructure – are you protected?

Trusted by one of North America’s largest utilities across hundreds of substations, Acoem ATD delivers real-time physical defense where traditional perimeter security falls short.

Operating on a 500-foot per-sensor radius, edge AI detects gunfire instantly, triggering immediate audio alerts and slewing PTZ cameras for live visual verification—giving operators the situational awareness needed to isolate threats before catastrophic failure occurs.

A multifaceted approach to infrastructure security

A holistic security strategy, acknowledging the interconnectedness of cyber and physical risks, is essential for effectively addressing vulnerabilities. When evaluating your infrastructure, avoid focusing solely on cyber threats. Instead, assess your comprehensive security plan and ensure robust physical security measures serve as a critical first line of defense, complementing your cybersecurity efforts.

Implementing layered physical security controls—including perimeter security, gunshot detection, access controls, surveillance, and on-site personnel—builds a more resilient security posture.
