barox and Gallagher Security Link Network Diagnostics With Site Management
A new integration between barox and Gallagher Security is designed to give operators deeper visibility into security networks, combining access control and site management with advanced diagnostics, cyber alerts and remote troubleshooting
barox Kommunikation AG has announced a new integration with Gallagher Security’s Command Centre platform aimed at improving the way organisations monitor and manage access control and security network infrastructure. According to barox, the integration allows operators to oversee barox network switches and connected devices directly from Gallagher’s site management environment, giving security teams a more unified operational view.
The companies say the integration brings advanced network management features into Command Centre, including full network topology visualisation, remote reboot of IP devices and switch ports, and automated prompts for device discovery and configuration. SNMP trap notifications, including security and cyber alerts, are also sent directly into the platform, helping operators identify faults and respond to changes more quickly.
For security operations, the significance lies in bringing network health and physical security management closer together. barox said the integration is intended to reduce support time, cut operational costs and improve uptime by letting teams diagnose and address issues across the security network from a single interface rather than relying on multiple management systems.
The operational gains could be particularly relevant for large sites, critical infrastructure and government deployments, where both companies already have a strong presence. barox said the platform can help reduce site visits, lower support costs and improve health and safety outcomes by enabling more issues to be resolved remotely, while also allowing organisations to rely on existing operational staff for routine diagnostics.
The announcement also reflects a wider industry shift toward tighter alignment between physical security platforms and the underlying IP networks they depend on. By embedding monitoring, resilience and cyber-awareness more directly into day-to-day security operations, integrations of this kind are increasingly being positioned as a way to strengthen both operational continuity and infrastructure protection. This final point is an inference based on the capabilities described in the announcement.
