Integrated security platforms for critical infrastructure protection

Operators of data centers, healthcare facilities and other critical infrastructure are increasingly adopting integrated security platforms to manage growing system complexity and evolving threat scenarios. Unified management of video, access control and intrusion detection is becoming central to this approach. In this context, Johnson Controls is presenting updates to its integrated security platforms at ISC West 2026.

Converging security systems into unified platforms
The developments focus on bringing intrusion detection, video surveillance, access control and incident management into common operating environments. This approach reflects a broader industry shift toward centralised security operations designed to reduce response times and simplify system management.

The updates include new versions of the PowerSeries Neo 5 and IQ Panel 5 intrusion platforms, with hardware and software enhancements supporting hybrid deployments, broader device compatibility and simplified system upgrades.

Johnson Controls is also introducing C•CURE IQ 3.2 from Software House, together with C•CURE IQ VMS and C•CURE IQ Incident Management. These systems integrate video management and standardised incident workflows to reduce manual intervention and support faster investigation processes.

Further updates include Kantech EntraPass 9.10, exacqVision 26.0 and new Illustra multi-sensor cameras. These developments focus on interoperability between subsystems, extended camera coverage and operational performance improvements in day-to-day security management.

Automation and analytics in security operations
Security management strategies are increasingly incorporating automation, AI-supported analytics and remote system management to address resource constraints and improve operational efficiency.

The platform updates reflect this shift by enabling coordinated workflows between detection systems and response processes. Such integration allows security teams to correlate events across multiple systems and improve response coordination.

These developments also align with broader smart building strategies, where security infrastructure is increasingly connected with operational technology environments to support governance requirements and energy management objectives.

Preview at ISC West 2026
Johnson Controls is presenting these developments at ISC West, taking place in Las Vegas, USA, from March 23 to 27, 2026 (Booth 18019).

The exhibition focuses on how integrated platforms can help organisations manage security infrastructure across large and complex facilities. Demonstrations highlight the role of unified software environments in reducing operational complexity and supporting consistent security performance across distributed sites.
