Octopus
Industry

Unified operational intelligence for distributed banking environments.

Connect physical security, relevant cyber alerts, site information and response workflows across branches, corporate facilities, cash centres and data centres.

01

The operational challenge

A bank's estate is large, distributed, and noisy. Branches, ATMs, cash centres, offices, and data centres all raise alarms. The events that matter usually touch more than one system. AI helps operators organize information and assess incidents while retaining decision authority.

02

The estate, end to end

Branches, ATMs, cash centres, offices, and data centres feed one layer. Select a system to follow a single signal from the estate to the response it triggers.

Noise reductionSuppress the repeat and false alarms that consume the shift.
Cross-domainCorrelate access, video, and cyber activity for one identity.
Consistent policyBank policy applied through the rule engine at every site.
Outside contextOpen-source intelligence attached to the subject of an incident.
Group visibilityRegional and group teams see the same picture.
AuditThe trail regulators and internal audit require.

One branch incident, start to finish

A single night at one branch, as the duty operator sees it. The agent assembles the incident and proposes the response; the operator holds the decision.

Where the shift goes

The point of the platform is the gap between what the estate raises and what reaches an operator.

Video managementBranch and ATM cameras, live and recorded, with analytics events
Access controlDoor and gate state, badge events, lock and unlock commands
Intrusion panelsZone state, alarms, arming and disarming
ATM monitoringSelf-service estate faults, tampering, and service events
SIEMCyber alerts ranked in the same queue as physical events
HR and identityEmployees and contractors, so an event has a named subject
Building managementEnvironmental and facility faults raised as incidents

Where agents help most

Alarm noise reduction, correlating a credential used in two places, and assembling the incident record for audit without an analyst writing it by hand.

On deployment: on-premise and private cloud are the common choices for banking. SaaS is available, and the agents, integrations, and operator workflows are the same in either model.
