Answers for National Security
02
Securing the Nation
A challenge of the first importanceThe first decade of the new millennium hasbeen characterized by volatile economicshifts and climatic change, but one issuehas dominated the media and the politicalagenda – security. The events ofSeptember 2001 brought the dilemma ofsecurity in a global age into every livingroom, while ongoing conflict and recurrentsecurity threats continue to dictate publicdiscourse.
Growing diversity and complexityAs the once discrete zones of defense andcivil security merge in an environment of global mobility and deployment, themission spectrum of defense and securityorganizations is now far more complexand asymmetrical than during the ColdWar. Defense organizations are now calledupon to transform rapidly for coalitiondeployment anywhere in the globe, while security services must master the complexities of mass travel and globalmigration.
Technology as a strategic enablerTechnology and information now domi-nate the operations of all entities in thisfield, with integration and real-timeknowledge at a premium. New technologiessuch as Radio Frequency Identification andbiometrics promise to transform militarylogistics and security operations, but suc-cessful implementation requires far morethan mere purchase. Today’s security anddefense organizations must be ready foranything, and execute quicker than ever.As mission complexity and operatingtempo accelerate, securing the nation hasnever been as necessary or challenging.
National security in today’s global environment is a highly complex and
interconnected challenge – spanning cyberspace as well as land, sea and air.
Protecting individuals and society – while enabling modern mobility and enhanced
safety – requires full mastery of the processes behind the technology.
03
The globalization of security threatsAs the Cold War threats of massive conflictrecede into history, a mass of intercon-nected concerns has replaced the tradi-tional paradigm of conventional territorialprotection and defense. These range fromterrorism and nuclear proliferation toregional destabilization and energy security– with no single threat independent ofthe next. National security in the 21stcentury is becoming an increasingly non-linear challenge, with simultaneousinterdependency between the global andthe local.
The new information-centric paradigmLooking at the spectrum of threats andchallenges facing security communities –from asymmetric defense missionsagainst terrorism and ideological conflictto proliferating civil issues such as humantrafficking, smuggling and organizedcrime – one recognizes the supreme needfor speed, synchronicity and synergy
between parties. As nature herself entersthe picture in the form of resource scarcityand increasing climatic volatility, defenseand security agencies must generate anddeploy response forces with ever greaterfrequency and at ever greater distances.Everywhere the need for real-time knowl-edge sharing and cross-organizational collaboration is paramount. In a globalizedenvironment, national security mustbecome information-centric.
Managing modern identity and dataAs citizens travel and migrate in evergreater numbers, and as internationaltrade continues to drive greater volumesof exported goods, identity managementis a field of civil security requiring particu-lar attention. And with so much of theworld’s knowledge assets now virtual andonline, the concept of security itself mustbe expanded to embrace the logical andthe physical with equal expertise.

Selecting the right partner Whether you are a key decision maker in aMinistry of Defense or a strategic thinkerin a Ministry of the Interior, you will needvision and precision to deliver on today’ssecurity agenda. Strategic partners canhelp harness the resources and implementthe required platforms, but with such a complex mission spectrum and such a broad technology remit you might findit challenging to match your goals withpartner scope. You need a partner whounderstands civic values as well as commercial technology. And, increasingly,you need someone who can help yourespond anywhere. In short, you need the right partner.
04
The Right Partner
Conventional partner limitationsThe search for the right transformationpartner in the national security environmentis by no means an easy one. You mightfind potential partners are limited by a consulting focus without engineering follow-through. Expert specialist partnersmay lack global capabilities. Partners maybe dependent on third-party collaboration,or not own software technology in thesecurity field. The right partner for youwill have faced similar challenges in thepast – at whatever point in the missionspectrum and in whatever part of theglobe.
