Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002
101 Findings; (1) …there are 361 public ports in the
United States that are an integral part of our Nation’s
commerce, (6) …Ports are a major focus of Federal
crimes, including drug trafficking, cargo theft, and
smuggling of contraband and aliens, (7) …Ports are
often very open and exposed and are susceptible to
large scale acts of terrorism that could cause a large loss
of life or economic disruption, (10) …Securing entry
points and other areas of port facilities…would increase
security at United States ports.

In today’s connected world, the role of system integration is becoming more
and more important as more systems are designed to connect, both within
the system under construction and to systems that are already deployed.
Despite well-documented protocol vulnerabilities and rampant threats, The
Patriot Group seamlessly integrates WLAN and WAN disparate security
technologies into a myriad of distributed backbone platforms. With many
legacy systems in place, our engineers design a IP pathway for convergence
for these previously proprietary, non-standardized devices as well as making
recommendations for current surveillance technologies.
System Integration
Software analytics; depending on the solution set, our engineers have expertise in implementing surveillance
product and intelligent video from both a centralized and distributed system.
In a central monitoring of traditional CCTV systems surveillance video can be fed directly from the analog
cameras into an intelligent video-enabled DVR. The DVR will perform the video analytics (people counting or car
license plate extraction for example) before taking the remaining data, digitizing, compressing, and recording it;
and distributing the resulting alarms and video output to authorized operators.
Distributed architectures are designed to overcome the limitations of centralized architectures by distributing
the processing to different elements in the network. The most scalable, cost-effective and flexible architecture is
based on ‘intelligence at the edge’, that is, processing as much of the video as possible in the network cameras,
or video encoders themselves. 5

Many companies have partnered with security consulting companies that
offer a piece of the pie. The Patriot Group is prepared to bridge the gap
between the physical and logical security needs of your company. The
Patriot Group understands that security is no longer a “half-court” game.
The high stakes endeavor to control risk within the oil and gas industry
now must consider the entire playing field ranging from physical security,
agile monitoring , edge-out IT defense and sophisticated insider threat
detection and mitigation services. The Patriot Group is ready to stand
with you, to offer true security intelligence and to bring to bear the best
of breed solutions in a true systems engineering approach.
While it's true that there are no “impenetrable IT targets”, a company can take reasonable steps to mitigate
risk. Cyber actors are not unlike other criminal actors as most are opportunist. Making your connected
systems harder or more expensive to attack blunts all but the most focused bad actors. These miscreants will
Try elsewhere. Thus, defense in depth and a vigilant balanced approach to IT
will pay huge dividends for your business. TPG core competencies include:
 Network Security
 Security & Vulnerability Research
 IT Ecosystem Inspection
 Threat Detection and Prevention
 IT Forensic Audit
 Insider Threat Mitigation
 IT Data Analytics

Washington, D.C., and consists of two parts:
the above-ground FEMA complex and the

Surface Detection & Deterrence
While agnostic in selecting surveillance product, an example is the Axis PTZ dome network camera
which provides pan, tilt and zoom functions, enabling wide area coverage and great details when
zooming in. The PTZ domes support features such as guard tour, tour recording, audio, input/output
ports for external alarm devices, Gatekeeper functionality, autotracking, AXIS Camera Application
Platform for intelligent video applications, and weather-proofing, including Arctic Temperature
Control for extremely cold conditions.
The most widely chosen solution for offshore communications, satellite communications requires a
VSAT, or very small aperture terminal, at the offshore site; a broadband satellite connection in space;
and a teleport onshore. Available anywhere in the world, satellite services are used many times for
vessels that may be on the move, or extremely remote locations. The only drawbacks to satellite
services are a slight delay in data transmittal and finite bandwidth.
The emergence of sophisticated, pilotless aircraft is presenting energy companies with an
alternative method for keeping an eye on operations in the Arctic and other harsh environments
where they often work. Unmanned aerial vehicles flying over pipelines while outfitted with special
sensors could detect leaks quickly and the potential applications for surface surveillance for
offshore platforms adds another dimension of security to Maritime and other strategic assets.
Surface security to survey and secure maritime infrastructures unmanned vehicles offer efficient
solutions such as assets protection, maritime surveillance and security. Unmanned surface vehicles
(USV) can fill all parts of the solution in protecting critical infrastructures at sea, from surveillance,
recognition, alerting, to finally neutralizing the threat.

Beneath the Surface Detection & Deterrence
Various sonar systems reliably detect, track and classify divers and small underwater vehicles
approaching a protected asset from any direction and alerts security personnel to the potential
threat. Whether it is protecting a critical infrastructure facility, offshore platform, sea port or super
yacht at anchor, Sonar's autonomous monitoring capabilities, long range detection and proven low
false alarm rates, provide a rapidly deployable, 180° to 360° underwater security solution for any
application.
Maritime Defense Systems and Sea Barriers are another layer of security for critical assets
vulnerable to boat or diver attacks. In a security-conscious world, both government assets– Navy
Bases, Navy Ships in Hostile Territories, Coast Guard Boats and Facilities– and private assets– Ports,
LNG Terminals, LNG Tankers, Nuclear Facilities, Oil Rigs and Facilities, Desalination Plants, Pipelines
and Cruise Ships– have a real, immediate, and critical need for high levels of protection.
Near-term applications for generations of Unmanned Underwater Vehicles span a wide range, from
intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; mine countermeasures; anti-submarine warfare;
inspection and identification; oceanography; communications and navigation network nodes;
payload delivery; information operations; and time-critical strike, according to the Navy Unmanned
Undersea Vehicle Master Plan.
