Cairo Bank has deployed the Security Center platform from Genetec Inc.<\/a> across its branch network. The move changes how the bank monitors, manages, and optimizes operations. Genetec<\/a> provides enterprise physical security software, and this deployment supports Cairo Bank’s push for stronger branch security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cairo Bank is one of the largest and oldest financial institutions in Egypt. It serves over three million customers through more than 230 branches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New regulatory requirements from the Central Bank of Egypt drove the upgrade. In addition, the bank is pursuing a broader digital transformation agenda aligned with Egypt Vision 2030. Beyond compliance, it needed a scalable operational intelligence foundation. This foundation strengthens oversight, improves customer experience, and supports long-term expansion and financial inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The implementation unifies video surveillance, access control, and intrusion detection into a single platform. As a result, operators can centrally manage more than 6,000 cameras across 122 active branches. Deployment across the full network is nearing completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The platform also provides the foundation for a centralised Command and Control Room. Operators can monitor branch activity, coordinate response, and support decision-making across the institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, the system separates operational responsibilities. IT and security teams can monitor device health and system status without accessing sensitive video feeds. This supports strict data governance and privacy requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Unification and scalability were just the starting points. From day one, I knew we wanted functionalities that add value to all aspects of our operations. Security Center delivered everything we wanted in one easy-to-use solution,” said Major General Hesham Tawfiq, Head of Security at Cairo Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beyond traditional surveillance, the platform introduces automation and analytics capabilities. These support both security and operational decision-making. They are now embedded across the entire branch network. Consequently, Cairo Bank can strengthen compliance reporting, improve risk detection, and enhance operational consistency at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The platform also offers insights into branch activity patterns, customer flow, and operational trends. This extends the value of security data beyond incident monitoring. Meanwhile, governance and operational control remain central to the deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Security Center’s open architecture also played a key role. It allowed Cairo Bank to integrate best-of-breed hardware while preserving existing infrastructure investments. Moreover, the bank can add technologies and expand the deployment over time. It does not need to standardize on a single hardware provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “We are honored to work with a forward-thinking institution like Cairo Bank that continuously seeks new ways to leverage technology,” said Firas Jadalla, Regional Director, Middle East & Africa at Genetec Inc. “By unifying systems, the bank is building a consistent operational foundation for its branch network, allowing it to respond to changing regulatory and operational requirements while retaining control over how its environment evolves.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Integrated Technics served as the systems integrator for the project. The company led the proof of concept, system design, and implementation. It continues to provide technical support and system optimization as the deployment expands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The Command and Control Room gives Cairo Bank a real-time operational hub built on Security Center, bringing video surveillance, access control and intrusion detection into a single interface. This enables operators to monitor activity across the branch network, coordinate responses and make faster, more informed decisions,” said Walid Alagamy, CEO of Integrated Technics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In short, this branch security upgrade gives Cairo Bank a unified, scalable base for compliance, oversight, and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cairo Bank has deployed the Security Center platform from Genetec […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":58,"featured_media":107679,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9639,9682,9624],"tags":[959],"contributor":[9732],"class_list":["post-107676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-banking-and-finance","category-middle-east","category-smart-sectors","tag-cairo","contributor-news-desk"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Genetec-x-Cairo-Bank.jpg.jpeg","author_info":{"display_name":"Lubna","author_link":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/author\/lubna\/"},"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
