AVERT is the only tool of its kind on the market, providing repeatable and proven metrics to enable risk-informed decision-making.  With the SAFETY Act certification from the DHS, the use of AVERT provides liability indemnification from the U.S. Government.  This powerful software incorporates both security technologies and security personnel into a 3D model, calculating probability of threat detection and neutralization with solid, quantifiable metrics.  AVERT's near-real-time "what if" scenarios analyze security system effectiveness at each layer of defense, identifying the optimal solution.  The robust software can model any area, from single structures to entire geographic regions, and takes into account risks posed from the air as well as bodies of water.  In this time of escalating security concerns, AVERT empowers users to maximize both system effectiveness and return on security investments.

"As the choice security software service on all DoD nuclear facilities worldwide, AVERT has been tested and proven on diverse facilities and sites in many environments," said Steve Fogarty, Vice President of ARES' Security Software Solutions.  "The newest version expands this powerful functionality, allowing users to make effective security decisions both at a deeper layer and on a broader scale, covering every aspect of their security needs at an even faster processing speed."
