What we do at Meerkat Technologies

To start this blog I thought it would be a good idea to share what it is we do at Meerkat Technologies and what this blog will contain.  First, let me say that this blog will be everything Meerkat Technologies.  It will showcase our current products and will discuss improvements to those products, as well as, new ones we are working on.  It will contain general information technology (IT) information from cybersecurity to how to setup a home computer network, both wired or wireless, and everything in between.  I hope this blog is both informative and fun to read. 

Now to explain what we do at Meerkat Technologies. Meerkat Technologies is focused on helping your company become more efficient and productive, as well as, protecting your business assets and IT infrastructure.  Meerkat Technologies’ team consists of highly qualified personnel that have extensive experience in physical security, cybersecurity, mobile and desktop application development, software integration, software application rehabilitation, asset/inventory control and personnel monitoring.  Meerkat Technologies specialists work with your organization to identify the challenges that face your organization and help develop a custom solution.  We do not have any predetermined technologies or vendors that we utilize by default; instead, we utilize the technologies and/or vendors that will best address your organization’s unique needs. 

Meerkat Technologies has utilized the knowledge and experience of its personnel to develop several different product solutions.  The most extensive of which, so far, is Meerkat Safe.  This product is a comprehensive safety product that can help improve safety by improving the physical security, cybersecurity, and visibility of all assets and personnel within your organization.

One of our security products we have developed at Meerkat Technologies is Meerkat Safe. Meerkat Safe is a wholistic safety solution that utilizes an innovative combination of software, hardware, and integration into your existing systems, to ensure your organization has clear visibility of all assets.  The first steps in accomplishing the safety goals of your organization is knowing what the safety vision is and assessing what needs to be accomplished to ensure you accomplish that vision.  Meerkat Safe helps to achieve this by doing the following steps:

Physical Security Audit

Meerkat Safe will perform a detailed inspection of all your locations to determine what vulnerabilities you may have at each.  We will test the access control for your locations to ensure that all sites are accessible as expected. This audit will also check if any of your personnel are doing things that will circumvent physical security barriers that you have in place. We will preform an audit of your video surveillance system to ensure that it is up-to-date, configured efficiently, and is not easily compromised physically or via a cyber-attack.  Lastly, we will determine if any environmental conditions, either natural or manmade, could pose a security risk to your organization.

Once this audit is concluded Meerkat Safe will provide your organization with a detailed report on what was discovered.  This report will give you possible vulnerabilities and risky behaviors, as well as what is being done well.  Meerkat Safe will provide your organization with a list of recommended corrections and can provide you with an estimate to implement any listed corrections.

Computer Network Audit

Meerkat Safe will perform an in-depth audit of your IT infrastructure to ensure all assets are operating within the manufactures recommended standards, protected from both physical and cyberattack (as well as they can be), that there are no know vulnerabilities within your network, and penetration testing.  Unlike many other cybersecurity auditing companies, we will not just place a piece of hardware/software within your network and give you a print out of what it tells us the vulnerabilities might be in the network.  We will visit all of your sites as well to help determine if there are any environmental or personnel issues that might also leave your IT infrastructure vulnerable to a cyberattack. 

Once this audit is concluded Meerkat Safe will provide your organization with a detailed report on what was discovered.  This report will detail possible vulnerabilities and risky behaviors, as well as what is being done well.  Meerkat Safe will provide your organization with a list of recommended corrections and can provide you with an estimate to implement any listed corrections.

Asset/Inventory Control and Personnel Monitoring

Meerkat Safe utilizes a combination of active tags, tag readers, mobile applications, and other Internet of things (IoT) and advanced computer technologies, to give your organization real time information about any asst, inventory, or personnel that you need.  Our unique approach allows you to determine what information your organization needs to know, who needs to know, and how they need to consume that information.  Since Meerkat Safe is a custom-built safety product we work closely with your organization to ensure you have the visibility that you need within your organization on all the assets, inventory, or personnel that you determine necessary.  Some of the many things Meerkat Safe is utilized for are:

• Realtime Location tracking
• Live inventory control
• Movement of specific items
• Interaction logging (personnel with items and/or personnel with personnel)
• Environmental conditions (light, humidity, temperature, and more)

There are many more things that Meerkat Safe can be customized to do for your organization; the possibilities are limitless.
