Visual Fusion helps operators at Microsoft’s Global Security Operations Centers protect company interests around the world, using an application that is the subject of a new case study. The GSOCs dramatically improved their ability to respond to emergencies by visually consolidating data from dozens of systems into a single view on top of Bing Maps.
The application enables security workers to act quickly and to immediately track response through integrated workflow via a SharePoint collaboration server.
The case study, just published to the IDV Solutions website, describes how operators use the application to monitor more than 700 company properties, while also checking global newsfeeds for events that may affect the company. The application integrates data from local security staff, live video feeds, alarm system messages and Web feeds in a map-based view, enabling Microsoft to respond to threats, summon emergency services and assure worker safety around the world.
