The Bank of Luxembourg centralizes its security with Genetec

La unificación de los sistemas de seguridad y la fusión de las distintas sucursales belgas y luxemburguesas en el seno de Genetec Security Center ha permitido a esta entidad bancaria reforzar su seguridad global y ha posibilitado la implementación de métodos eficientes y el ahorro de tiempo en las operaciones diarias.

He Banco de Luxemburgo unifica sus operaciones de seguridad con la plataforma Genetec Security Center.

Esta es una de las instituciones financieras del país más fiables, operando desde varias localizaciones en Luxemburgo y Bélgica. Emplea a 1.200 personas y se distingue por una sólida tradición bancaria

Ante la rápida evolución de las amenazas físicas y digitales, el Banco de Luxemburgo ha tenido que modernizar su gestión de la seguridad en los últimos años para proteger tanto sus propios activos como los de sus clientes. Besides, ha tenido en cuenta las crecientes normativas en materia de ciberseguridad y protección de datos, al tiempo que mejora la eficiencia operativa y la gestión de incidentes.

“Las infraestructuras informáticas físicas, en particular los centros de datos y las salas de servidores, tienen hoy tanto valor como las cajas fuertes tradicionales”, points out Frédéric Mayer, responsable de seguridad física del Banco de Luxemburgo. “Para proteger eficazmente nuestros activos y los de nuestros clientes, debemos garantizar la seguridad de los espacios físicos, los datos y la información sensible.”

Unified approach with 360° coverage

In the past, the Bank of Luxembourg adopted the Genetec Omnicast IP video management system for its advanced features and ease of use. At that time, the Federation functionality was key to centralize the management of all security systems across the different locations, in order to ensure a clear and coherent overall view and facilitate its management.

Another important step was taken in 2018, when the Bank decided to use the Genetec Synergis access control system, which was integrated with video management within the Genetec Security Center platform. It was a large-scale project with progressive implementations, building by building, and the replacement of all card readers and door controllers.

The unification of security solutions later extended to an increasingly diverse range of advanced technologies. In addition to the video surveillance and access control, the Bank of Luxembourg has integrated the intrusion detection, secure key cabinet management and Genetec AutoVu, the automatic license plate recognition solution.

Genetec has always known how to adapt to our needs, integrating new technologies and constantly improving its systems, says Frédéric Mayer.

A unified and digital future with AI

The unification of the security systems and the merger of the various Belgian and Luxembourg branches within Security Center has not only allowed Banque de Luxembourg to strengthen its overall security. The security system has also enabled the implementation of efficient methods and time savings in daily operations.

Among the ongoing projects, the implementation of Genetec Mission Control represents an important milestone in incident management and the coordination of security responses. Thanks to predefined scenarios and automated workflows, this solution will facilitate decision-making during incidents, while ensuring that every phase of the security procedures is strictly followed.

In this context of innovation, the artificial intelligence also plays a key role in the future strategy of the Bank of Luxembourg, which is in constant search for new ways to improve security.
