RISCO Group, a leading provider of integrated security solutions, was selected to provide security management and additional security solutions for the newly constructed Arena Pantanal in Cuiaba for the 2014 World Cup games in Brazil.

The requirement for a comprehensive security solution that would ensure the tightest security and safety measures for the 44,000 spectator arena, managed and controlled from a unified control room was met by RISCO Group, who provided their powerful Command and Control solution in addition to access control and a customized ticketing and validation system. The Command and Control solution was designed to control other systems such as hundreds of security IP cameras deployed in the stadium and its surroundings, lighting systems, gates, and PA system.

RISCO Group’s Command and Control solution, employing the SynopSYS Integrated Security and Building Management? platform is based on intuitive synoptic maps and integrates all security and building management systems and subsystems, including those from third parties, into one unified interface, ensuring the highest levels of security for all visitors to this momentous event.

axesplus?, RISCO Group’s access control solution, was also incorporated within the platform.
Centrally controlled from the stadium’s main Command and Control Room, axesplus? was utilized to secure the hundreds of doors and turnstiles within the arena, providing protection from unauthorized entry and counterfeit tickets. RISCO Group also provided a specialized ticketing validation system complying with FIFA’s regulations for this purpose.

This extensive multidisciplinary project, custom designed for one of the world’s foremost sporting events, enabled RISCO Group to showcase their capability for creating tailor-made solutions for the most stringent security and operational requirements demanded in today’s market.
