Save Money
with Cobalt’s Advanced Security Solutions
Cobalt’s advanced AI-powered solutions help enterprises achieve significant cost savings by reducing false alarms, optimizing operations, and preventing costly security breaches. Below, we explore how Cobalt delivers measurable savings through its innovative platform.
False Alarm Reduction: Over 95% Fewer Distractions
False alarms consume valuable time and resources, diverting attention from legitimate threats. With Cobalt’s platform, organizations can reduce false alarms up to 95%, enabling security teams to streamline operations and effectively manage critical events.
Common causes of false alarms include:
- Runaway alarms: Persistent alerts triggered by malfunctioning sensors or systems.
- Human error: Incorrect badge usage or entry attempts.
- Device faults: Issues with motion detectors, badge readers, or request-to-exit (REX) devices.
Impact on Costs
False alarms account for an estimated 70% to 90% of total security alerts in large organizations. Each false alarm requires a response, leading to the following:
- Wasted person-hours spent reviewing non-critical events.
- Increased staffing needs to manage high alarm volumes.
- Operational disruptions that slow response to legitimate threats.
Real-World Example
At one of our customers, Cobalt’s solutions reduced access control alarm volume by 87%, saving the security team over 50 hours per week previously spent managing unnecessary alerts.
At this major global organization, implementing Cobalt’s platform allowed its security team to reinvest reclaimed hours into proactive threat prevention, resulting in not only financial savings but also enhanced safety outcomes.
Operational Efficiency: Automating Security for Smarter Teams
By automating threat detection and response, Cobalt’s platform enables security teams to work more efficiently, reducing the need for additional personnel while maintaining robust protection.
Optimized Resource Allocation
Traditional security operations often rely heavily on human resources to monitor, analyze, and respond to alerts. This manual approach can lead to the following:
- Overstaffing during low-incident periods.
- Understaffing during critical incidents.
- Inefficient use of skilled personnel for repetitive tasks.
Cobalt addresses these challenges by:
- Automating alarm filtering and response, ensuring that only verified threats reach human operators.
- Streamlining workflows with intelligent escalation processes so teams can focus on high-value tasks.
- Integrating seamlessly with existing infrastructure, reducing onboarding and operational complexity.
Quantifiable Savings
Cobalt’s automation capabilities have enabled organizations to streamline operations, reducing the need for additional security personnel while maintaining high protection standards. This approach ensures enterprises can optimize budgets without compromising security.
Enhanced Security: Preventing Incidents to Save Money
Cobalt’s continuous monitoring and real-time threat detection capabilities not only improve operational efficiency but also lead to measurable savings by reducing the likelihood and impact of security breaches.
Cost of Security Incidents
The financial impact of security incidents can be devastating. A single breach can result in:
- Property damage and theft cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
- Operational downtime, disrupting business continuity.
- Reputational damage, leading to lost customers and revenue.
Proactive Threat Management
Cobalt’s platform minimizes these risks by:
- Identifying threats before they escalate, such as detecting unauthorized access or tailgating.
- Providing actionable insights to resolve root causes of recurring alarms, reducing long-term vulnerabilities.
- Enabling faster, more targeted responses with automated guard dispatch and incident escalation.
