Abstract: 

The security of a modern state is strongly dependent on the use of integrated technology systems. Any weakness of the integrated system involves a weakness of the security of the State. For this reason, it is necessary to design and realize highly integrated, efficient and reliable security systems. The authors illustrate the work made to design and realize the integrated security system of the Vatican City State.
