| Universal Guardian introduces petroleum security system Universal Guardian Corporation has announced the release of its integrated UniGuard Integrated Petroleum Asset Management and Security System for the protection of petroleum industry assets, including oil fields, refineries, offshore platforms and oil tankers. The Universal Guardian UniGuard Integrated Petroleum Asset Management and Security System is designed to provide automated surveillance, threat detection, assessment and immediate response for high-risk petroleum industry assets. In addition, the system mitigates many potential threats in various petroleum industry environments, including oil field wellheads, refineries, offshore oil platforms, storage facilities, ships, and harbours. The ‘sensor neutral’ platform integrates, assesses and displays signals from a multitude of sensors, including video, SONAR, RADAR, thermal imaging cameras and others. The UniGuard platform is designed to accept virtually any sensor technology, ensuring easy integration and scalability in numerous threat environments. "The risk to petroleum producers, refiners, and transporters is rapidly increasing with the escalation of regional conflicts and global terrorism. The financial and ecological impact from an attack on an oilfield, pipeline, refinery or ship in harbour or at sea has consequences of national and international proportions," said Michael J. Skellern, chairman and CEO of Universal Guardian Holdings, Inc. "Universal Guardian's Petroleum Asset Management and Security System provides real-time security management and coordinated response for local security operators, regional security elements, government agencies and corporate management anywhere in the world," added Skellern. The UniGuard Petroleum Asset Management and Security System is capable of providing a geo-spatial collaborative environment to organise and manage the placement and monitoring of information resources (sensors, intelligence reports, and personnel). This unique environment allows system operators to better manage and exploit their resources quickly and effectively.
