PCSC Security, Davista partner on predictive access control analytics

LOS ANGELES—PCSC Security has partnered with Davista.ai to introduce AI-powered predictive intelligence and analytics capabilities to its access control portfolio, creating what the companies call a new approach to "Predictive Security."

The partnership integrates Davista's artificial intelligence and predictive analytics technology with PCSC's access management solutions, including its LiNC-NXG physical security information management (PSIM) platform. The companies said the combined offering is designed to help security teams identify patterns, detect anomalies and gain actionable insights from access control and security system data.

According to the companies, the platform analyzes access events, alarms, door activity, camera triggers and other security-related information to provide a broader view of activity across facilities and campuses. The system can also correlate information from other security and operational data sources.

A key component of the offering is visual activity mapping, or "heat maps," which provide a graphical representation of security-related activity to help operators identify areas experiencing elevated alarms, access activity or other unusual events.

The technology is designed to function as an intelligence layer within PCSC's existing access management ecosystem, helping organizations gain greater value from data already being generated by their security systems.

“Access control has traditionally been very good at telling us what happened,” said Mas Kosaka, president and CEO of PCSC. “With Predictive Security, we are taking the next step, helping security professionals understand patterns of activity, visualize what is happening across their environment, and identify where their attention may be needed.”

The solution also introduces automated and suggestive guard tour capabilities, allowing security teams to adjust patrol routes based on current conditions, historical patterns and emerging activity rather than relying solely on fixed schedules.

The companies said they are developing the technology for a range of applications, including enterprise, government, education, healthcare, financial services and critical infrastructure environments.

“The opportunity is not simply adding AI to an access control system,” said Scott Sieracki, co-founder and CEO of Davista. “It is using the information already being generated by security systems to identify patterns, anomalies, and emerging conditions that warrant attention and then turning that intelligence into action. Our partnership with PCSC brings those capabilities directly into the access management environment, helping security teams move beyond simply reviewing what happened toward understanding what is developing and where intervention may have the greatest impact.”
