The Development and Technology of Realview 4security
Realview 4security began in 2007 as a security data collection system developed at a client's request. This led to the creation of the MONITORING module. The core infrastructure was built using open-source code, leveraging Python and PHP technologies along with an ORACLE database. The software solution was delivered for operation in 2008.
In 2009, the HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT module was developed and integrated, enabling efficient management of security personnel, which had previously been maintained in Excel sheets. In both core modules, developers worked closely with professionals from the contracting company who had deep expertise in the operation of these systems. The result was both highly functional and cost-effective. At this stage, Realview 4security functioned as a hybrid of two software types: PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) and PM (Project Management), operating on a common database with direct correlation between software modules.
By 2016, the rise of mobile applications on the APPLE and GOOGLE app stores prompted Reform to acquire the app development company HummingTech Ltd, leading to the development of the iAlert Facility and iAlert PLUS apps. The first app was designed for employees of security companies, infrastructure patrols, as well as cleaning and maintenance personnel in hotels and public facilities. The second app was designed for universal use, providing a "Panic Button" for individuals facing immediate danger.
These applications were seamlessly integrated into the two core modules of Realview 4security, significantly enhancing the capabilities of Security Operations Center (SOC) managers through the PATROL module. They could now monitor real-time geographic locations of incidents, analyze incidents based on time and location, and cross-check them against an action plan in coordination with client instructions. This marked the activation of the DECISION MAKER module.
The transformation of Realview 4security into a SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) solution was successfully achieved, reinforcing its role in protecting human security and critical infrastructure.

How They Work Together
• SIEM collects and analyzes security event logs.
• SOAR automates incident response based on SIEM alerts.
• PSIM manages and integrates physical security infrastructure but does not deal with cybersecurity threats directlyThe next stage of technological superiority for Realview 4security began in 2019, as REFORM collaborated in the cloud sector with AMAZON and its AWS (Amazon Web Services) system. In the following years, three AWS technologies were integrated into Realview 4security, giving it world-class capabilities. The IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) technology deployed Realview 4security on a global infrastructure capable of supporting any PSIM requirement, wherever it needed to operate. Issues related to data collection from alarm systems, sensors, and cameras could now be organized and resolved easily. In particular, network problems and communication with the operations center had now been overcome. The PaaS (Platform as a Service) technology enabled the ORACLE database to be located at any point of the client, with unparalleled response speed. Its security reached the highest level, and its maintenance transitioned to an "autonomous" response, drastically reducing the final cost for the client.
The third technology was an area of study in 2019, but in the following years, it set Realview 4security apart from competing technologies. This was the IoT (Internet of Things) technology, from which the IoT module was created. Since 2021, Realview 4security can now integrate any IoT device or camera and process it. It can upgrade the core operating system on multiple IoT devices with minimal involvement from the technical team or even act preventively or decisively by sending a command or an upgrade to immediately counter a cybercrime.
Through the integration of AWS security technologies (Machie, KMS, Security Hub, Security Lake) combined with Realview 4security’s fundamental capability to unify AWS infrastructures (OpenSearch, Splunk) and visualize data from them, it evolved into a fully equivalent SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) solution. Now, the company’s entire IT infrastructure can be processed and managed efficiently, with the primary goal of providing the Security Operations Center (SOC) with all the essential information it needs to be aware of.
With the recent (2024) integration of authentication technology, the IDENTITY VERIFICATION module was created within Realview 4security. Now, every alarm system, fire detection sensor, camera, or even IT equipment can be encrypted and authenticated, monitored, and upgraded to protect a client from cybersecurity incidents.
With Realview 4security, a SOC is now fully equipped to handle incidents with the precision required within just a few minutes, as mandated by the new NIS2 regulatory framework. The technology an SOC needs to focus on is complex, but Realview 4security provides the tools to create a shield for each of the 10 security sectors.
Through Realview 4security, clients, supervisors, and management can always stay informed about the status of security systems, whether they are currently implemented or will be in the future, as well as the methods of action. They can receive real-time updates on whether a system has been breached, if a security guard is heading to a specific checkpoint, all while monitoring from on-site cameras or even aerial devices (drones). The Security Operations Center (SOC) processes all suspicious intrusion signals, distress messages, threats, fire alerts, and medical emergencies, assessing any emerging issue and suggesting the optimal workflow and actions to the operator, ultimately aiming to accelerate the ideal resolution. Realview 4security is designed to fully organize companies’ efforts toward an accurate performance and quality control system.

Security service providers often handle user and system authentication. With Realview 4security and the Authentication module, this process becomes streamlined. The provided software and support services ensure real-time monitoring of user and device status, enforcing smooth access control and rights management. The goal is always to enable fast, hassle-free, and highly secure operations across the entire security infrastructure.
The Zero Trust approach is a cybersecurity model based on the principle of "never trust, always verify." This means that no user or device, whether inside or outside the corporate network, is automatically considered trustworthy.
The core principles of Zero Trust are:
1. Least Privilege Access, users and devices receive only the minimum necessary access for their functions.
2. Continuous Verification, all users and devices must be continuously verified through multi-factor authentication (MFA)[8] and dynamic access policies.
3. Microsegmentation. The network is divided into smaller, secure segments to limit the spread of threats in case of a breach.
4. Monitoring & Threat Detection. Continuous analysis of user and device activity aims to detect suspicious behavior.
5. Assume Breach Model, security design operates under the assumption that a breach has already occurred, implementing measures to contain potential damage.
The Zero Trust approach helps organizations protect against cyberattacks, insider threats, and data breaches by enforcing strict access control and continuous monitoring. Realview 4security provides a comprehensive set of tools that enhance these capabilities.
[8] (MFA-Multi Factor Authentication)
5.1 Management of Identities & Access Roles
Users and devices receive only the strictly necessary access for their operations. Each user or device is integrated into the general access control system, which includes encryption keys for communication, operational roles governing them, and control points serving each use case.
At the same time, their behavior is thoroughly monitored, not only in terms of the resources they utilize and their associated costs but also for any potential violations. For example, if a user attempts to delete a file, the system will prevent the action while logging it as an event and notifying the appropriate authority.
5.2 Identity Verification
Every access attempt must be continuously verified, even for users who are already logged in. Multi-factor authentication (MFA, OTP[9], etc.) is used to ensure that the user is who they claim to be. The system responds dynamically to user or device behavior. For example, if a user suddenly downloads a large volume of data, the system may either block them or require re-authentication.
[9] OTP-One Time Password
5.3 Microsegmentation
Realview 4security consists of completely separate system entities within a multi-tier network and infrastructure setup (VPCs, subnets, security groups). The network is divided into smaller segments, ensuring that a breach in one section does not grant access to the entire network. This prevents attackers from freely moving within the system. The same approach applies whether it’s a client system that needs permissions to access resources, individuals working with specific software or files, or a combination of both.
Following AWS architectural protocols, Realview 4security operates within closed communication networks, without internet access and with encrypted network configurations at every system level. Each level ensures its own protection with a dedicated firewall and grants maintenance teams access only to the central machine’s software, not the Realview 4security source code or database. If internet access is required, special encryption measures are implemented, and communications are closely monitored for anomalies, especially those involving critical data or unusual activity.
5.4 Anomaly Detection
If an employee or device that typically accesses specific files suddenly attempts to download entire databases, the system will detect and block the activity. All user and device activities are monitored in real time to identify suspicious actions. Artificial intelligence is used to recognize anomalies. The data is processed through security data collection and analysis from various network points. Additionally, user behavior analysis is conducted to detect suspicious actions, and if the system identifies unusual activity, it can automatically block the user or device and notify the appropriate authority.
5.5 Assume Breach Model
Realview 4security is designed with the assumption that an attack has already occurred or will happen in the future. This enables rapid response preparation and damage containment. It maintains backup copies of data, employs advanced isolation mechanisms (sandboxing), and conducts regular security testing to identify vulnerabilities. Similar cybersecurity response plans are shared with all Realview 4security clients and extended to end-users to ensure adoption and implementation.
6. Decision Maker Module
This module is designed to assess client directives and provide personalized responses effectively. It works in collaboration with artificial intelligence models and serves as the leading component of Realview 4security.
The development of action plans based on client instructions, their adjustment according to the expertise of the security company, and the final structuring of actions at each operational phase in the field environment are all integrated with artificial intelligence to deliver security solutions. The steps defined and processed within Realview 4security are as follows.
6.1 Risk Analysis
• Identification of potential threats (physical, technological, human).
• Assessment of the likelihood and impact of each threat.
• Determination of critical points that require protection.
We identify potential threats (natural disasters, cyberattacks, human errors) and evaluate their probability and impact. These are recorded in Realview 4security with weighted factors for each point, and response teams are assigned accordingly.
6.2 Risk Mitigation Strategies
• Recommendations for technical or organizational security measures.
• Enhancement of physical or cybersecurity based on specific needs.
• Development of incident response procedures.
At this stage, we precisely define prevention and response measures, such as physical security (cameras, guards), cybersecurity (firewalls, encryption), and staff training. We evaluate the effectiveness of each measure and how well our response can perform based on incident history and similar past events. Realview 4security assigns a score to the framework, and we structure actions into steps. Finally, standardized action scenarios are prepared to train the operations center and field teams.
6.3 Cost & Benefits
• Analysis of the implementation cost of security measures in relation to their benefits.
• Optimization of resources for more efficient security.
At this stage, we calculate the cost of each security measure and compare it with its benefits to determine the optimal balance between investment and protection. Depending on the scenario, cost tables and corresponding measures are proposed.
6.4 Regulatory Compliance
• Verification that decisions align with legal and regulatory requirements.
We ensure that security measures comply with legal and regulatory requirements (GDPR, ISO 27001, local laws). Any deviations are noted, and reminders are set for the operations center and company management to achieve compliance.
6.5 Decision-Making Support
• Development of scenarios for different security strategies.
• Presentation of the advantages and disadvantages of each option.
• Assistance in the final selection based on objective criteria.
In Realview 4security, we present different scenarios and the consequences of each choice to support informed decision-making based on objective data. This is done both in a simulation environment for training the operations center and in real-time to respond to emergency situations.
