Abstract

States of security and risk are accurately recognized and an appropriate measure can be taken. Therefore, in a security monitoring device connected to a security device for securing security of an asset and monitoring the security, information from the security device is monitored and collected in real time on the basis of a set monitoring condition. On the basis of the monitored and collected information, a security risk change is analyzed and estimated, and the analyzed and estimated results are displayed, etc., and outputted.

Claims

1. A security monitoring device connected to a security device and monitoring security, and comprising:

monitoring-collecting means for monitoring and collecting information from the security device in real time;

analyzing-estimating means for analyzing and estimating a security risk change on the basis of the information monitored and collected by said monitoring-collecting means; and

output means for outputting a result analyzed and estimated by said analyzing-estimating means.

2. The security monitoring device according to claim 1, wherein the security monitoring device further comprises control means for controlling security strength on the basis of the result analyzed and estimated by said analyzing-estimating means.

3. The security monitoring device according to claim 2, wherein said control means changes a setting parameter of said security device.

4. The security monitoring device according to claim 2, wherein said control means changes access qualification with respect to said security device.

5. The security monitoring device according to claim 2, wherein said control means changes a security division.

6. The security monitoring device according to claim 1, wherein said monitoring-collecting means monitors and collects a setting state of said security device and the number of access times with respect to said security device, and

said analyzing-estimating means analyzes and estimates the security risk change on the basis of said setting state and said number of access times.

7. The security monitoring device according to claim 6, wherein said analyzing-estimating means calculates static risk corresponding force on the basis of said setting state, and calculates dynamic risk corresponding force on the basis of said number of access times, and calculates synthetic risk corresponding force on the basis of the static risk corresponding force and the dynamic risk corresponding force, and calculates occurrence frequency of risk on the basis of the synthetic risk corresponding force.

8. The security monitoring device according to claim 1, wherein said analyzing-estimating means analyzes and estimates the security risk change on the basis of the information monitored and collected by said monitoring-collecting means, and an acquired asset value.

9. The security monitoring device according to claim 8, wherein said analyzing-estimating means calculates the asset value in real time on the basis of acquired asset quantity and the asset value per unit quantity.

10. The security monitoring device according to claim 9, wherein said monitoring-collecting means monitors and collects reading information from the security device for reading an identifier attached to an asset in real time, and

said analyzing-estimating means detects the asset quantity in real time on the basis of said reading information monitored and collected by said monitoring-collecting means.

11. The security monitoring device according to claim 1, wherein, when the security division of a monitoring object is hierarchically formed, said monitoring-collecting means monitors and collects information from the security device located in each layer in real time, and

said analyzing-estimating means calculates risk corresponding force every each layer on the basis of the information monitored and collected by said monitoring-collecting means, and also calculates the risk corresponding force of said entire security division on the basis of each risk corresponding force.

12. A security monitoring system constructed by a security device, and a security monitoring device connected to the security device and monitoring security,

wherein said security device transmits set information or detected information to said security monitoring device, and

said security monitoring device monitors and collects information from said security device in real time, and analyzes and estimates a security risk change on the basis of this information, and outputs the analyzed and estimated results.

13. A security monitoring method for monitoring security relating to a security device,

wherein information from the security device is monitored and collected in real time, and a security risk change is analyzed and estimated on the basis of this information, and the analyzed and estimated results are outputted.
