EDITOR'S NOTE The Professional Magazine Providing Fire, Safety & Security Solutions

Digital India Initiative Needs Speedy Implementation The plan of Digital India is a grand vision for India’s digital future but it needs to look in to speciics. The Rs.1.13 lakh-crore Digital India initiative aims to deliver government services to common man mainly through application on mobile phones. It will be interesting to observe how Modi government achieves the 2019 target. It’s certainly a new dawn on India’s horizon. The irst half of 2014 is agog with mergers and acquisitions in the smart home sector. Nest bought dropcam two months after Google’s Acquisition. In June, Apple announced HomeKit. Microsoft is planning to put Kinect motion sensor at the centre of its connected home initiative, allowing users to turn lights and devices on and of with a simple hand gesture. The global etailer Amazon has jumped in to the fray with its kindle platform and new smartphone. The news for now is that four large tech ecosystem providers are currently vying for tech partners-and for the global smart home market. CIDCO is installing 500 CCTV Cameras to put Navi Mumbai on surveillance mode. This is certainly good news for citizens as well as security Industry. The other development is that Mumbai’s hundreds of Ganeshotsav Mandals are embracing CCTV for added security arrangements. This is a welcome initiative, which is a morale booster for security Industry. If social and public organizers have understood the importance of security technology then further adoption will be easy. The importance of Oil and Gas sector is growing in India with concerns about secure storage, pilferage and hazards. There is a crying need to secure the Oil & Gas sector. The recent coal block controversy has made Oil and Gas sector more critical for Indian economy. The recent GAIL pipeline blast in Andhra Pradesh is a grim reminder of security lapse and criminal negligence. India’s Oil & Gas sector needs to put security and safety on the priority list.We have spoken to some of the key players to know the latest security solutions. There is lot of confusion about network security in security equipments. We have covered it to provide clarity. a&s India wants to know your thoughts and ideas as a security expert and professional. We welcome your valuable response and feedback. Do write in with your suggestions and feedback. We invite all the stakeholders of security Industry to participate in a&s India’s media endeavor. a&s India is always there by your side to promote the interest of security fraternity.

CORPORATE NEWS Dahua Megapixel IP Solution Secures Arabian Center in Dubai

VIVOTEK Introduces Advanced Video Content Analysis Solutions

AUTOCOP & Samsung Techwin Present Unparalleled Video Surveillance Solutions

VIVOTEK has announced its first video content analysis (VCA) application package, which includes three key functions: Field Detection, Line Crossing Detection, and Object Counting. Introduction of the new VCA application package follows the debut of the VIVOTEK Application Development Platform (VADP), an open platform for integrating video analytic functionality within its cameras. Now, the VCA package can analyze data directly on a camera to provide solutions for business applications, in addition to traditional security use cases.

AUTOCOP has achieved yet another milestone by partnering with Samsung Techwin. This collaboration will now offer Samsungs range of unmatched Video Surveillance Solutions, an absolute necessity in these advanced times.

Steve Wang, Sales Manager for the Middle East, Dahua Technology

“This is Dahua’s first high-end case in Dubai, and the mall board didn’t hold an open attitude to Chinese brand,” said Preetham Moras, Sales Manager of the Gulf Detection LLC, a local distributor. “They used to like some other Korean brands, what changed their mind is after a series and rigid testing of Dahua’s NVR. The great performance shows its stability and quality.” “I have a faith in partnership with Dahua as their products are of very good performance and at an affordable price, which the market has a favor on,” Moras added. 20

September 2014

“

The use of surveillance cameras is expanding from their traditional role in security to business applications. VIVOTEK is leading this trend in a big way with our on-camera video content analysis and the VIVOTEK Application Development Platform. We can’t wait to see the powerful software plug-ins that developers are going to create using this combination—and the benefits they will bring to retailers and other customers around the world.

“

Dubai is a land of promise and we see great security demanding from many sectors, such as retail, transportation, entertaining as well as there are so many ongoing construction projects. We do believe that this is just a beginning of our penetration to this market. I was very excited when learning the news that our brand was finally chosen for Arabian Center as it is a big step for us. This shows that Dahua’s branding is based on its product performance and quality and the branding is enhancing in the region.

Steve Ma, Executive Vice President, VIVOTEK The Field Detection feature allows users to define a zone in the field of view for automated monitoring. Whenever a person or object either enters or leaves this zone, the event is automatically detected, and notification is sent to the video management server or other back-end infrastructure. Line Crossing functionality is used to set up a virtual line within the camera’s field of view so that when a person or object crosses the line, the event is detected.

AUTOCOP provides technologically sound and effective security solutions and services at affordable prices. With their customer-focused approach, strategic alliances with many more international brands, AUTOCOP has a network of offices and committed technical support across India. AUTOCOP supported by Samsung Techwin will now provide you with unequalled Video Surveillance Solutions which include Analog CCTV, IP CCTV, Video Management System, Network Video Recorders.

Its urban inner highway, which is the transport backbone, accommodating nearly 1 million commuters every day and people are spending more and more time on the road. In order to better manage the city traic needs and solve out the congestion, the local authority decided to use intelligent traic system (ITS) to improve traic in the city and also people can have better eiciency of their work and life.

“

We have already assured different customers in Poland and neighboring countries to work on ITS projects based on Dahua cameras and detectors. With Dahua’s good quality and services, all the projects we have done proven its stability and greatly facilitate cities’ traffic, leading people a better life.

“

The project started in 2010, Dahua’s customization satisied the end-user since it is quite suitable for the local market because of its great performance, easy installation and good price. The adopted ITS systems integrate Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPRs), red light enforcement, speed systems, green waves as a whole in order to regulate driving behaviors and ight against traic jams. For ANPR systems, Dahua 1.4-megapixel and 11-megapixel HD traic cameras are adopted at intersections on main roads, taking care of the snapshot of front and back side of the vehicle respectively. Moreover, both loops and video detection are used to improve accuracy. As for speeding violations, speed systems are installed and approved by metrology law to impose ines to control urban driving speed and improve road safety. 28

NEWS FEATURE Sontay Releases Second Phase of Sonnet

Kantech Releases Intevo with exacqVision VMS Software

ontay is enhancing its wireless offering by launching the second phase of the ground-breaking SonNet system. Now incorporating a new CO2 sensor and innovative I/O module, SonNet offers system integrators, building consultants and end-users the opportunity for smarter measurement and control without the need to install cabling. This in turn will offer vast benefits for occupant comfort and enhanced energy savings.

antech, part of the Tyco Security Products business unit of Tyco, the world’s largest pure-play fire protection and security company, announces the release of the Intevo integrated security platform which now includes the latest version of the exacqVision video management system (VMS) software.

“

The SonNet range is cost effective and easy to install and the new additions broaden the range of applications it can be used for. In buildings where wired solutions are not an option, SonNet can be used to bring the same level of monitoring to a BMS, significantly reducing energy wastage and costs. It also gives building managers the option of updating or changing the location of sensors easily. With non-wired solutions such as SonNet becoming readily available for use with HVAC, it is possible that wireless sensing will become just as prevalent in corporate and public spaces as Wi-Fi internet is today.

“

Sandy Damm, Managing Director, Sontay A major addition to the SonNet family is the RF-IOM-4A-4U Input/ Output Module. Working in conjunction with SonNet sensors and routers, this clever device acts as a local I/O with connectivity to typical HVAC equipment, such as fan coil units or variable air volume boxes. The module can take any 0-10Vdc, 4-20mA, resistive or VFC signal from wired devices in the field and transmit them to a SonNet RF-RXS receiver. This in turn can be read by a JACE controller through a Niagara framework. The strategy within the controller uses this information to calculate control values, which are then passed back through the I/O module to alter damper positions and other output connections in the field.

oil and gas industry suffers frequent glitches and we expect the new government to address these with a slew of reforms. Reducing oil subsidies will be a clear priority. This, in turn, will cut the fiscal deficit as well as decrease the load on state-owned companies. Steps taken yet to gradually increase diesel pricing and curtail LPG subsidies are in the right direction. As oil and natural gas remain the most important sources of primary energy in India, inadequate domestic supplies of these hydrocarbons are forcing the country in enhancing the import bill.” According to William Ku, Vice President, International Business Division, VIVOTEK Oil & Gas Sector plays a crucial role in supporting a nation’s social development, economic growth and people’s living. In Oil & Gas Sector, any accident could be caused by harsh geographical environments, serious natural disasters or artificial mistakes. Without precautions or immediate actions, the accident could be more serious than people can imagine. The operation of the communities and even the country will be seriously interrupted, bringing significant harms and loss to people’s living.

However, with the technology evolvement and increasing demand for a safer and better living environment, the adoption of the advanced and connected security solution in Oil & Gas Sector would continue to grow.

expected to rise by as much as 50 percent over the following 25 years. This combined with depletion of existing oil and gas reserves will mean extensive exploration and production activities by the oil and gas industry in the years to come. 75 percent of this increased requirement is expected to come from the developing world.”

According To Andrew Minnikin, General Manager, PACOM, “The Energy sector today bears a huge responsibility for the safety of its multiple business facets - exploration, refinery, storage, transportation, retail across various locations.”

“Oil & Gas facilities being part of “Critical Infrastructure” are always the main target of terrorists. Fortunately the Indian Oil & Gas sector & other critical infrastructure sector are reasonably secured & governed by security & risk assessment policies of these companies. However with growing threat perception, unconventional enemies & asymmetric conflicts, the oil & gas companies’ needs to continuously evaluate their existing security policies & infrastructure in order to be better prepared for such situations.The Oil & Gas sector needs resilient safety, security and technology systems to support its core business more than ever,” said Avinash J Trivedi, HeadBusiness Development, Videonetics Technology

He further added, “With an increased number of incidents such as pilferage, sabotage, vandalism and other security threats, an open, integrated security solution with intelligent reporting tools and ease of use has become mandatory in order to comply with challenges as these.” According to Sandesh Kaup, Country Manager, Milestone Systems, “Oil & Gas were the first sector to adopt IP Video Surveillance in India. Milestone has had installations in India in Oil &Gas since 2008. Every one of these projects in India is covered by IP Video Surveillance with the latest technologies but few of them have successfully deployed video analytics. Oil & Gas in India is supposed to be the most secured sector from the surveillance perspective compared to any other verticals. Yet there are still more needs to be met from the perspective of taking more precautions and safety measures. The safety standards in India are still not the best when compared to some other world areas (like the gulf states, US, UK).”

KEY CHALLENGES The oil and gas sector faces some immense security and safety challenges as it ventures into increasingly formidable environments. There is, however, one challenge that could prove far tougher to solve than anything the deep seas will throw at engineersthe need to bridge the growing security technology gap within the industry. “Terrorist attacks on oil and gas pipelines have occurred in many countries around the world. Pipelines are the most popular terrorist target, particularly in countries such as Iraq, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, India and Russia. The motives for such attacks vary considerably. In some cases, the powerful explosive nature is seen to make any attack dramatic and more damaging. In others, energy companies are seen to embody the values of western society. The economic impact of a disabled main trunk pipeline is a serious concern to industry operators and nations,” observed Ashish P. Dhakan. “The

adopted various policies such as offering 100% FDI across various segments in the oil and gas sector such as refineries, pipelines, petroleum products, natural gas etc. NELP, a policy framed to initiate investment, has been successful in accelerating the exploration and production activities,” observed Prasenjeet Bhattacharyya. He further informed, “The major challenges that have an impact on the sector includes domination by state controlled enterprises, elimination of subsidies on oil and gas products and most importantly threat to environment,” said Prasenjeet Bhattacharyya. “There are two challenges: one is hazardous environments and complicated perimeter. The key criteria

are to select solutions which are fire resistant and secure the perimeters that are considered to be the highest risk areas. Perimeters demand 100% coverage. Milestone has been very successful in deploying our integrated solution with some of the well-known perimeter intrusion systems in the world, such as Optex laser scanners,” said Sandesh Kaup. “Key security challenges in the Oil and Gas industry include risk management, compliance, and operational continuity.

customers mitigate risk and ensure the safety of staff, contractors, and visitors’ on site,” observed Curtis Edgecombe, Global Manager – Security, Gallagher. “Oil and gas industry faces a growing no. of security challenges at present scenario. Typically this refinery industry plant covers huge geographical areas, and mostly located in offshore or else on shore areas. These distributed channels are connected by huge network of pipelines which are defenceless to both aggressive threats and natural disasters. A complete protection and solution must take into picture, the entire infrastructure from operating origin to refinery, head quarters, buildings, and offices. Also concentrate on distribution networks i.e. tanks, boats and air transportations,” said Anand Jain. According to Avinash J Trivedi, “Oil and Gas companies have two main security challenges beyond the protection of people involved in their operations, which are protecting critical infrastructure and protecting critical information.” He further added, “While “protecting critical information” deals more with IT & Information Security, the most important challenge is to protect “critical infrastructure” i.e. people &

assets. The Oil & Gas companies needs to properly assess “Vulnerability & Risk” towards their organization and accordingly define their “Security Policies” in line with local needs.”

“

PRECAUTIONS “Effectively capitalising upon potential opportunities, clubbed with the increasing demand for natural gas, favourable government policies, large scale investments and the recent discovery of offshore gas reserves are expected to fuel strong growth in the Indian oil and gas sector. The strategy of sustainable development should be adopted which means development should take place regularly and continuously but not at the cost of future generation,” suggested Prasenjeet Bhattacharyya.

“Networked perimeter security – both electric and non-electric fencing – is used to prevent unauthorized site access and monitor potential threats on the perimeter. Gallagher’s fully integrated visitor management system provides a comprehensive, automated system for inducting visitors and contractors onto site ensuring OH&S compliance and includes all the features of an enterprise grade visitor management system,” suggested

“

“Surveillance has helped administration of operations in this sector through monitoring and alerts that provide and ensure safety precautions taken by the respective workers in the field while performing various activities. Milestone software provides a sophisticated alarm manager which can alert the workers through an integrated announcement system which can be done through a speaker connected to the IP Camera, also alerting the nearby safety engineers to take necessary steps,” said Sandesh Kaup.

Recently, VIVOTEK has just announced its irst video content analysis (VCA) application package, which includes three key functions: Field Detection, Line Crossing Detection, and Object Counting. The VCA package can analyze data directly on a camera to provide solutions for ensuring robust security and enhancing business eficiency. It is worth to note that ield detection and line crossing detection could be used to demarcate a zone in the ield of view corresponding to an area in physical space where access is restricted, ensuring the seamless security around the critical facilities in oil & gas sector

Curtis Edgecombe. “Petrochemical, oil and gas operations represent many specific and often high risk security issues. However, oil and gas refineries are among the select few locations in the world where the need for steady, and quality, secure video surveillance is essential. Yet video surveillance in a remote location such as an oil and gas refinery can be particularly challenging,” observed Anand Jain. He further informed, “Today’s petrochemical operators need solutions offering flexibility, growth and a secure approach to organization employees, contractors and visitors. This security solution must be one that works with their existing physical security infrastructure and ensures compliance with the latest regulations.” “A fully integrated security system is needed. The system should contain a wide range of security mechanism, including video surveillance, intrusion systems, perimeter detection, access control, and the real-time intelligent analysis on data. Moreover, it is worth to note that the deployment of video surveillance system with outstanding image process capability and intelligent functionality is becoming more important since the proactive

event detection and precise object identification can only be done by network cameras with superb image quality and video content analysis capability, no matter under bright or dark environments,” said William Ku. According to Avinash J Trivedi, these special precautions needed to secure human lives and petroleum products: • Identification of hazards, assess the risks and to follow best security practices • Comprehensive emergency response mechanism. • Continue review of security situation &improvement in security apparatus • A clearer command and control structure to ensure response to emergency situations. • Collaborative Monitoring to ensure other external systems are also monitored for better response to emergency situations.

Dhakan. He further added, “Refineries and petrochemical plants are attractive targets for sabotage because of the social and economic impact. Sites must be very secure while allowing effective daily operations and maintenance. In planning a vulnerability and risk assessment, managers need to consider the protection of people, information and property. The list will be long and can include potential problems due to technological failures (electrical, generator, transportation, natural gas, water, sewer, information systems, fire alarms, compressed air, communications, air conditioning, structural, steam or unavailability of critical supplies) or human intervention (workplace violence, chemical terrorism, biological terrorism, hostage situation, civil disturbance, labour action or bomb threat).” “The site protection solution includes cameras for surveillance inside 44

According to Anand Jain Oil and Gas security solutions includes following options: Video Surveillance: Create great security i.e. deters vandalism, prowling, and helps to keep track of who is coming on and off of the property by installing CCTV and monitor and manage when something is going to happen. Practicing surveillance in refinery industry helps to deter accidents and even near misses

in fact; it can be used as an important instruction tool later, as firm can show the employees involved in the incident what earlier they did wrong. Being more aware of Environment, For example, a Rig Manager can use a Surveillance System to concurrently watch places like the rotary table, BOP, Mud Pumps, Pipe Racks and how personnel are interacting with them. Access control system: Access control system is an essential step toward mitigating an organization’s security risks. Controlling access in and around at refinery industrial area/building is not only good for protection, but also for health and security reasons, with users being approved or denied access to certain zones at different times. Access Control is vitally important in Oil and gas industry, as there is regularly a lot of foot traffic. With this facet in mind, if anything were to be stolen or mismanage then it would be really complicated to pinpoint the person, perhaps when they weren’t supposed to be. Most of the time firm engaged by a way for new visitors or clients to sign in and out the premises, installing access control device generate not only for security reasons, but also create peaceful environment.

Distribution of Natural Gas: IT and Cyber security in Transmission The Transportation sector comprises all modes of transportation (Aviation, Maritime, Mass Transit, Highway, Freight Rail, and Pipeline) - is a vast, open, interdependent networked system that moves millions of passengers and millions of tons of goods. The transportation network is critical to the Nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way of life and economic vitality. Ensuring its security is the mission charged to all sector partners, including government (Central, State and local) and private industry stakeholders. BY CAPT. S.B. TYAGI, CO-FOUNDER AND CHIEF COUNCILLOR, ICISSM

of a more connected, more efficient industry is that we have become an attractive target for increasingly sophisticated cyber terrorists. We are meeting the threats daily through our skilled personnel, robust cyber-security system protections, an industry commitment to security, and asuccessful ongoing cyber-security partnership with government and with up-stream and down-stream stakeholders. Capt. S.B. Tyagi, Co-Founder and Chief Councillor, ICISSM

atural Gas is the foundation fuel for a clean and secure energy future, providing benefits for the economy, our environment and our energy security. Alongside the economic and environmental opportunity natural gas offers our country, there comes great responsibility to protect its distribution pipeline systems from cyber-attacks. Technological advances over the last 20 years have made natural gas utilities more cost-effective, safer, and better able to serve our customers via web-based programs and tools. Unfortunately, the opportunity cost 50

September 2014

Our natural gas delivery system is the safest, most reliable energy delivery system in the world. This said, all industry operators recognize there are inherent cyber vulnerabilities with employing web-based applications for industrial control and business operating systems. Because of this, gas utilities adhere to myriad cybersecurity standards and participate in an array of government and industry cyber-security initiatives. However, the most important cyber-security mechanism is the existing cybersecurity partnership between the central government and industry operators. This partnership fosters the exchange of vital cyber-security information which helps stakeholders adapt quickly to dynamic cybersecurity risks.

RISK FACTORS FOR PIPELINE OPERATORS Designing, operating, and maintaining a pipeline facility to meet essential availability, reliability, safety, and security needs as well as process control requirements requires careful evaluation and analysis of all the risk factors. Attacks on a cyber- system may involve only the cyber components and their operation, but those impacts can extend into the physical, business, human, and environmental systems to which they are connected. Operating and maintaining a gas pipeline involves numerous safety concerns. Cyber security assessment is one of the solutions that helps to maintain safety parameters - especially when handling such explosive and flammable goods such as natural gas. Securing Supervisory Control Systems Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural gas transmission and distribution systems depend on computer technology and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems to operate safely and efficiently. The need to provide effective cyber security to operation and maintenance of gas pipelines is similar to challenges faced by bulk electric system and local power distribution providers,

ADDRESSING THE VULNERABILITIES The Operations, Safety, Security, and IT decision-makers of Key Infrastructures, especially oil & gas, power generation and transmission and nuclear energy are well advised to pay attention to following aspects More and more reliability on Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN) and Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) brings increased threats to operations of organizations using them.

except that natural gas systems transport molecules, not electrons, and are equipped with safety devices, which are, in most cases, manually operable as federally required. But all of these groups depend on communications infrastructures, computer technologies, and people to safely and efficiently transport the energy product to the end user. Many utilities have employed a series of measures to protect the critical computer systems and networks that control the flow of energy over geographically dispersed facilities. These measures include the use of technical and administrative controls. Technical controls often used include, but are not limited to: • Firewalls to separate control systems from general corporate networks and the internet • Network intrusion-detection systems to alert operators of potential security events • Event-logging systems to capture

and maintain information regarding the operational status of control networks Administrative controls often used include, but are not limited to: • Overall cyber-security policy and procedures • Change-management and change-control practices • Disaster-recovery and businesscontinuity planning and exercises One of the major challenges associated with providing cybersecurity protection for energy system SCADA and process-control components is addressing legacy equipment. Corporate computer equipment, such as desktop computers, is generally replaced every three to five years. In contrast, natural gas SCADA components are often designed and priced to operate for a decade or more. Legacy systems may not be able to be patched or be able to effectively communicate with systems that use current encryption techniques.

The networks are susceptible to attacks aimed to disrupt and destroy them. Such an attack by viruses, worms or other forms of cyber-terrorism on oil and gas industry process control networks and related systems could destabilize energy industry supply capabilities and negatively impact the national economy. Need to keep control systems safe and secure, and to help minimize the chance that a cyberattack could severely damage or cripple infrastructures. We need to identify ways to reduce cyber vulnerabilities in process control and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) Systems: to identify new types of security sensors for process control networks. Another challenge with protecting energy systems is that, to enhance operational efficiencies, many of the energy SCADA and process-control systems have become connected to corporate business systems. Some of these connections have created a pathway for malicious computer programs or unauthorized users to

solutions for oil and gas pipelines promote safety, environmental responsibility, and efficient operations. The cyber security vulnerability assessment is designed to examine the three core facets of an organization’s cyber security: •

• potentially disrupt the transmission or distribution of natural gas, electricity or water. There is real threat to SCADA from mischief mongers prowling in the web-world and the tech-savvy terrorist and Stuxnet is the most lethal combination! It is a Windows-specific computer worm first discovered in June 2010 by VirusBlokAda, a security firm based in Belarus. It is the first discovered worm that spies on and reprograms industrial systems, the first to include a PLC Rootkit, and the first to target critical industrial infrastructure. It was specifically written to attack SCADA systems used to control and monitor industrial processes. Stuxnet includes the capability to reprogram the Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and hide its changes.

A number of communication solutions are available which provide robust connectivity and communication helpful for protection of assets and personnel in environments where a high standard of inherent safety is a mandatory requirement. There are resilient telecommunications networks such as Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN), which allow for simultaneous voice & communication data communications and secure access to applications from almost anywhere in the world.

People: What is the cyber security awareness level in the organization? Are staff members following security policies and procedures? Have they been adequately trained to implement the security program? Process: What are the cyber security policies and procedures in place in the organization? Do these policies and procedures meet key requirements? Technology: What cyber security technologies are in use in the organization? How are these technologies configured and deployed?

PROGNOSIS While above are the main strategies for securing the transmission and distribution of natural gas, constant improvement and improvisation is needed to be carried out to make security measures reliable as well as cost effective, as in present phase of economic melt-down no organization will take decision without working out the ROI (Return on investment).

Dedicated manpower ready to face the disaster would always be central consideration for any security and disaster response plan. To keep them constantly motivated and updated is also another prime responsibility of the Management as otherwise even the best plans are doomed to fail. Only those will succeed in this sector who foresee and fore-plan and rehearse thereafter their security and emergency response plans!

would contribute towards it achieving LEED certification. A key element in optimising SCM01’s efficiency was enabling the Honeywell Pro-Watch® security management system to share signals with the Tridium Building Management System (BMS). As a result, SmartCity Malta required a mechanism that would aid in seamlessly integrating the two systems.

Situated at the heart of SmartCity Malta, ‘SCM01’ is a commercial building covering 12,000m2 of office space spread over seven storeys, providing a series of flexible office suites together with shared facilities and ample parking for knowledge workers and visitors. SmartCity Malta is continuously striving towards excellence and committing to green policies. Consecutively, SmartCity Malta’s development is planned in studied phases with technologically advanced green buildings that enable its tenants to operate in a secure, comfortable and safe environment. In line with its commitment, SCM01 is the first LEED certified green building in Malta. Leadership in Energy

Development Kit (HSDK). This adapter enables Pro-Watch and the BMS to efficiently share each other’s input and output signals. Also as part of the security system, intruder detection and video surveillance products were installed. OmniAssure™ MIFARE card readers from Honeywell are also installed to monitor when an access control card is presented at door entry and exit points. Using Honeywell PW6000 intelligent controllers, ProWatch sends signals to the BMS whenever an access control card is presented to one of the readers. The access control cards can be programmed with cardholder’s credentials including their personalised preferences for temperature and lighting settings. Due to the integration with the BMS, these settings are then applied based upon the person’s location within the building. The BMS also receives inputs from other security and safety related systems which are now displayed and recorded via Pro-Watch too. Such systems include; fire alarm (where the individual ‘fire zone’ is identified), emergency lighting, Uninterruptible

Power Supply (UPS), back-up power generator, water leakage alarm, IT infrastructure and voice alarm system. For example, when an emergency event such as a fire alarm is triggered, the system automatically records and displays video images of the specific zone. Equally, in the event of a failure with the UPS, an alarm is shown via the Pro-Watch interface. Video surveillance of the public areas is carried out with Honeywell IP PTZ mini dome and box cameras. The high definition images are captured

and managed by the Honeywell MAXPRO® VMS video management system which also integrates with Pro-Watch. MAXPRO VMS gives the security team at SmartCity Malta complete control over all video sources. This includes control of live video from the cameras and enabling them to view video captured before, during and after every alarm/event received from ProWatch. Intruder detection is also integrated via the Pro-Watch system. Sturdy and reliable DUAL TEC® motion sensors and door contacts from Honeywell are installed throughout the building. Alarm outputs triggered from these are managed by MAXPRO VMS and live video instantly shows the area in question on the video wall. At the same time, the BMS sounds a siren and increases the brightness of the lights in the area where the intruder is located.

One Easy-to-Use System The security team manages and controls the system via a dynamic, graphical user interface- the ‘Alarm and Event Monitor’, which displays clearly all alarm statuses and conditions from the BMS and Pro-Watch. For added convenience the interface is integrated with computer tablets and smart phones for access away from the control room.

building, enabling its tenants to operate in an efficient, comfortable and productive environment. The system can continuously check the occupation status of each room / zone by monitoring the presence of access control cardholders and adjusting the lighting and flow of fresh air accordingly. Lights are turned on automatically when rooms become occupied and turned off when they become vacant. In addition, CO2 sensors installed within the premises send signals to the BMS which combine with inputs from Pro-Watch to regulate the amount of fresh air delivered to each room depending on occupancy. Similarly, air flow and lighting is adjusted within meeting rooms when a visitor’s access card is presented. Since the BMS is integrated to other infrastructure systems and equipment within the building which are not directly related to security, critical alarm statuses and conditions from these systems are sent and recorded as events in Pro-Watch. This innovative feature gives the operators visibility of the status of other building infrastructure services which in turn enhances the safety and business continuity of the building occupants 58

and owners. The data from the BMS, which includes inputs from Pro-Watch, also provides new energy-analytic reporting tools and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The SmartCity Malta management team use these statistics to monitor and measure the performance of the building as part of a continual process of measurement and verification of installed building systems. These readings ensure that the building operates as intended and maintains operational efficiencies. Competitive Edge Providing a state-of-the-art Information and Communications Technology (ICT) infrastructure with a converged BMS and security system within a technologicallyadvanced green building not only underpins SmartCity Malta’s corporate responsibility towards the environment, but it allows it to differentiate itself from other commercial buildings and developments to help attract worldwide ICT brands as tenants. Optimum Security and Convenience Via Pro-Watch, the BMS assesses the occupation levels of the building

The MAXPRO VMS system enables the IP video cameras to be controlled with ease and any images to be displayed clearly on the bank of monitors. Operators are quickly and clearly alerted to alarm events and incidents, and video pursuit is possible via motion detection using a set of surrounding cameras.

CASE STUDY UMCG has Largest Fire Alarm System in Europe The University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) has become the largest fire alarm system on one network in Europe. The system was supplied by Siemens Building Technologies. SUBMITTED BY SIEMENS

he University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) has officially taken delivery of its completely upgraded fire alarm system. With 7500 fire detectors, spread over more than 30 buildings throughout the university’s campus, it is the largest fire alarm system on one network in Europe. The system that was supplied by Siemens Building Technologies not only puts an end to the many false alarms raised in the past, but also protects the medical center’s employees and patients optimally, thanks to the use of intelligent smoke detectors.

smoke detectors, 35 fire alarm panels and 18 operating consoles. Another feature that was introduced is the electronic logbook, which provides a comprehensive overview and allows uniform management of the system. At the end of February 2014 the installation as a whole was certified by B.V.I. (Brand Veiligheids Inspecties , a dutch certification body). It was notable that throughout the major upgrade not a single department in the medical center had to be shut down or relocated, which was all very important for safeguarding UMCG’s continuity.

This major upgrade, on which Siemens and the UMCG cooperated very closely from the start, kicked off during the last quarter of 2011. Royal Haskoning DHV acted as advisor for the UMCG and Harwig Installatiegroep from Emmen (NL) installed the 7500 intelligent Sinteso

Erroneous and false fire alarms – 90 percent of all alarms generated at companies and organizations – are one of the biggest problems associated with automatic fire detection and cost the fire department and the companies involved lots of money and time. False alarms also cause disruption and panic,

premises have to be evacuated and continuity comes under threat. The basic starting point with the Siemens Sinteso smoke detectors is that they only react when it is really necessary, thanks to the patented ASA technology. Each area in each individual building was also fitted with a smoke detector that was specifically programmed and tailor-made for that area. The patented ASA technology ensures that the Sinteso smoke detectors are better able to distinguish between different types of smoke particles. The intelligence is also evident in the detector’s ability to correct: if there is no smoke from a real fire, but simply dust from construction work or steam from a shower, the detector will not trigger an alarm.

were Hikvision’s DS-2CD8255F-EI 2MP IR Low-light Bullet Camera, DS2DF7274-A 1.3 MP Network IR Speed Dome, DS-2CD755F-EI 2MP Low-light Indoor Dome Camera, and Hikvision’s own iVMS-4200 Management Software to control the solution. However, each was chosen for a specific task and to improve a specific deficiency. The DS-2CD8255F-EI 2MP IR Bullet Network Camera was chosen for general perimeter security. Placed on walls, or ascending poles, this outdoor camera utilizes its IP66 rating to achieve performance stability and its up-to 30m IR range to allow clarity even in zero light. Mohammad Maarouf, Euro Technology’s Project Manager on this job, explained: “This overall facility houses two security offices, one main, the other supplemental. In the case of the DS-2CD8255F-EI, it w ould fall under the main security office’s jurisdiction. However, in the bigger picture, both security offices’ performance greatly improved with Hikvision resolution. The DS-2CD8255F-EI provides HD1080p real-time video recording, as well as IR and True Day / Night functionality ... in the case of a power outage shutting down both the perimeter and innercourt lights. Our solution also provides a 10-hour camera power backup, making features such as night-time IR very important, if the lights do go out.”

Euro & Hikvision Technology Inside

Hikvision iVMS & Support

Complex 2’s interior utilizes the DS-2CD755F-EI 2MP Low-light Indoor Dome Camera for, well, virtually every interior room. This encompasses sleeping areas to general recreation rooms, and everything in-between.

Maarouf believes Hikvision’s iVMS-4200 software epitomizes the overall Hikvision advantage at this UAE National Rehabilitation Center. “In all honestly, we are blown-away by Hikvision’s support. When we were initially designing this project, Hikvision engineers provided unbelievable service and support. In fact, in over a year, we have not had one single camera failure. Furthermore, iVMS-4200 has brought both foreseen and unforeseen advantages,” Maarouf explained.

Underscoring this usage is the camera’s full-HD 1080P real-time video ability to provide near-perfect clarity in each of these similar, yet still different, environments. Furthermore, as Maarouf noted, “The DS-2CD755F-EI is great indoors because it adds both an outdoor IR and True Day / Night element. Where our Hikvision outdoor cameras use both for zero, or near-zero, darkness, the DS2CD755F-EI uses this to bring clarity to darkened corridors and shadows ... we can still see color, when applicable, and full IR if needed, These, and IRC functionality, provide the best possible picture for security, irregardless of specific light.”

One example Maarouf noted is that CPU usage has been reduced from Complex 1’s 90% load to Complex 2’s now miniscule 20%. Results such as these, combined with stability improvements (no delays / crashes), has led facility administrators to grant Euro Technology a new contract to duplicate its Complex 2 success in the securityproblematic Complex 1 - a transfer set to take effect in mid-2014.

The DS-2DF7274-A IR Network High Speed Dome compliments this perimeter strategy. However in this case, the DS-2DF7274-A places the finer touches on overall perimeter security. Strategically placed on border areas, the main entrance, and the “open courtyard” separating Complexes 1 & 2; the DS-2DF7274-A utilizes a 20x optical zoom feature to get the required close-ups. www.asindia.in 6161 www.asindia.in

control solution. After a diligent search and many demonstrations from NexGen Integrated Systems, a local specialist in security systems integration, Eurostar Diamond India chose Genetec Security Center, the unified security platform that blends Omnicast video surveillance and Synergis access control into one user-friendly solution.

Uniication and Granular User Privileges Heightens Monitoring

For over 30 years, Eurostar Diamond has been processing and selling diamonds from various international locations. In a recent expansion, the leading diamond company opened a new 6,300 square foot wholesale office in Mumbai, India. Since Eurostar deals in high-value precious stones and welcomes numerous dealers into its sales office daily, management has been relying heavily on video surveillance and access control to secure its facilities and safeguard its assets. While the office had been equipped with a network video recorder (NVR) solution, the quality of video did not meet requirements. The NVR features were also very limited, and lacked any

integration with its basic access control system. Aiming to better secure their business and various commercial deals, Eurostar India was ready to make an investment in a video surveillance system that would support and record high-resolution video, provide realtime monitoring from anywhere, and integrate with an advanced access

While video clarity was top of the list, the deciding factor for Eurostar India was that Security Center offered deeply unified video surveillance and access control within one robust and reliable platform. Mukesh Kapse

“

Security is a top priority for Eurostar India and we are very satisied with Security Center as it provides secured access to information when we need it most

Background

Today, Omnicast is managing 64 Axis Communications network cameras, and Synergis is controlling over 34 HID Global door readers through the new sales office. According to Mr. Mukesh Kapse, IT – Manager at Eurostar India, “Our stones are often very small, and we need to be able to see them at all times. We have been able to achieve very highquality video, zooming in to precise details in the sales cabins.”

elaborated: “The unified video and access control was the most valuable feature of the platform. We have a lot of different brokers coming and going from our offices, and distinct areas for different product sales. Now, we can monitor every person that comes in, and get very clear video associated to cardholder pictures each time they swipe their card at a door.” With the Synergis built-in visitor management tool, Eurostar India has been able to create visitor access control cards in advance and quickly assign them to visiting dealers with pre-programmed privileges depending on where they need to go within the office. For an added layer of security, Eurostar India has also implemented Door Interlocking which prevents two doors within the same area to be opened simultaneously, and Dual-Authentication which requires cardholders to provide both card credentials and either BIO or PIN confirmation to access critical office areas. To keep track of daily happenings, department managers were given their own monitoring stations, and assigned

specific system user privileges to only monitor zones and access data within the scope of their duties. To make this possible, Eurostar India took advantage of the Partitioning feature of Security Center to specify which users and user groups have the ability to view, access and control various system devices, zones and functionalities.

User-Friendly Mobile and MapBased Functionality Expedite Investigations The ease of use of Security Center has been instrumental to Eurostar India, helping to expedite investigations and also appease its insurance agencies. According to Jayesh Chauhan, Director at Eurostar India, “The insurance companies are very interested in knowing what security measures have been implemented. Showing that we have a very advanced security platform with video and access control has really helped. With Security Center, we can quickly handle any investigations.” Eurostar India has implemented 10 Security Center Mobile clients, providing the convenience for office management to access the system from their mobile phones or iPads. Building

layouts have also been integrated within Security Center through Plan Manager, the map-based interface of the unified security platform. Plan Manager allows Eurostar India operators to easily monitor cardholders throughout the building, locate cameras and address alarms. The intuitive nature of Security Center has also been extended to maintenance. “The maintenance is simple and in case we need help, we have 24/7 support from Genetec, whose representatives have been very responsive and always helpful,” explained Mukesh Kapse.

Seting the Framework for Future Expansion Since the office in India boasts the most advanced security system within the organization, it now serves as the framework for other expansions. With plans looming for another new 20,000 square foot office in India, Eurostar Diamond India is looking to implement centralized monitoring for both locations. The company also recognizes the potential to expand the system across other international offices as well.

recording modes which include an “Always Record” mode. On top of this, 10 instant responses are bundled into this recorder, providing complete support for petroleum station owners reacting promptly to hostile incidents (e.g. a dine and dash). Furthermore, remote central management of events is possible as the 30 recorders are centralized by SGP headquarters through a NUUO Remote Live Viewer. Thanks to this complementary application, SGP management can use multiple recording servers to simultaneously bring up a live view, access remote events management (i.e. PTZ control, E-map, I/O devices), and enjoy real-time notification. This makes for improved security, enhanced customer satisfaction, and another feather in the cap of SGP.

Beneits

OCAR Georgia Petroleum, (SGP) is Georgia’s sole importer of petrol and diesel. Today, it has 30 petroleum stations in the capital and 60 across the country as a whole. It is a fastgrowing company whose management plans to expand its network to 90 petroleum stations.

Background SGP’s surveillance system was formerly based on IP camera bundled software but when a new Georgian law came into effect, the whole system had to be overhauled. The new law obliges petroleum stations to provide realtime monitoring using 3 megapixel cameras with the data for each installed camera stored for at least 1 month. This regulation also requires continuous recording and 24-hour monitoring of the stations.

Solution To address these challenges, Georgia’s major importer of petrol and diesel decided to call on NUUO’s solutions. They use NUUO Mainconsole IP+ combined with Arecont Vision (AV3105DN) and Mobotix (M24-Sec) IP cameras. Presently, up to 310 IP cameras are installed in 30 of SGP’s petroleum stations and each site is equipped with one PC running NUUO Mainconsole recording server with approximately 10 IP cameras. Every site carries out local real-time recording with a local view enabling station managers to protect their businesses. At the same time, the 30 recorders are remotely accessed and centralized by SGP headquarters via fiber and a PoE switch. One of the requirements for this project is continuous recording and NUUO Mainconsole provides different

NUUO Mainconsole enables full adherence to Georgian government regulations. However, it does much more than this: it is a complete longterm solution for SGP as the petroleum company is planning further expansion in the near future. This solution has a conspicuously friendly interface while also being an open-platform system with an easy licensing mechanism. The most important thing is that it can be used with NUUO CMS enabling a control room solution. As SGP management itself states, “We decided to use NUUO’s solutions for the following reasons: stability of the system, easy maintenance through the easy licensing mechanism, plus the most crucial point: high potential for continued implementation of NUUO CMS for our advanced central monitoring needs as we grow and develop in the future.” www.asindia.in 6565 www.asindia.in

The exacqVision system was integrated with BP Slagboom’s existing ABT license plate recognition (LPR) software and the Tokheim electronic point-ofsale (EPOS) software running on the individual Tokheim fuel pumps to create a complete, integrated solution.

DIck Slagboom, Gas Station Owner data is sent to the exacqVision system. Gas station attendants see an image at the start and completion of a fueling at each pump. When the customer comes into the store to pay, the attendant pulls the corresponding video in the exacqVision client to the appropriate pump to verify the person pictured at that pump is the one paying for the gas. Within the exacqVision software, the Tokheim data can be searched by receipt, pump number, event or time. “The implementation and integration of the exacqVision system with the Tokheim EPOS and ABT LPR software sets a new trend in gas station surveillance system design,”

said Badir Shir, Exacq Regional Sales Manager, Central Europe. “This system configuration will be a model for future installations.” The exacqVision system also provides a powerful way for station attendants to easily find video evidence when needed. In the event of an incident at the station, the duty manager can quickly search from the exacqVision client by receipt information, pump number, event or time to find the associated video with an incident. From there, the manager can export the video to be used as evidence to positively identify suspects, if needed, within minutes. The simplicity and increased capabilities of the exacqVision system have improved the station’s overall security and the employee’s everyday jobs. Using the exacqVision system required minimal training. BP station attendants were quickly utilizing the client to view the current pump activity and to assess and confirm customers are paying for the gas they pumped. The integrated exacqVision VMS system provides BP Slagboom with a powerful, complete solution that provides a better way to manage their fuel and retail business as well as minimize forecourt losses through drive-offs and fuel fraud.

How Much Does Cos t Reduction Really Cos t You?  BY INTERNATIONAL

ome dishonest manufacturers simply claim that they choose different materials to optimize the interoperability of different components. However, the ugly truth is that it is done to “lower” the total production cost. Material substitutions can occur in all components, from resistors and chips to single or layered circuit boards, wiring connectors, relay designs, voltage stabilizers, and many more. Likewise, the external casing material, paint selection, fans and jacks used are also possible places to make alterations. But as mentioned above, these alterations are done to lower costs in order to boost competitiveness, despite the serious impact it has on product performance.

THE PROBLEMS COMING FROM MATERIAL SELECTION Some problems surface quickly, while others only emerge due to the influences of certain environmental or operational factors. Nevertheless, any problem is a headache for users and integrators. Below are some common problems resulting from production cost reductions.

September 2014

Lenses For lenses, cost reductions usually happen with the replacement of the metal molding components with plastic materials. As a result, two problems arise: A. The lens may or may not be tightly sealed with the rest of the camera due to its elasticity. Plastic molds may lose elasticity, shrink, curve in, or curl up with time, or even worse, change shape as temperatures change. This is almost impossible to avoid with plastic, which affects the accuracy of focal alignment. B. In addition, without a piece of metal that serves as adequate grounding, external electromagnetic signals can easily interfere with the auto-iris lens and damage the signal output, leaving interference lines on images.

Cameras The makeup of a camera involves complex circuit and structural designs, including optics, electric wirings, mechanical structures, network modules, and many more. Hence, cost reduction measures to substitute these components may create the following problems: A. Traditionally, security cameras use a sophisticated locking screw ring to

PDF Compressor Pro

adjust the back focus through rotation. To cut down costs, some manufacturers use a metal strip or loosen/tighten the screws to stabilize the back focus. These substitutions do save on production costs, but over time cause cameras to easily become “out of focus” due to vibrations, requiring further manual adjustment by the installer. To save on costs related to circuit boards, some manufacturers combine the imaging sensor and the DSP/ ISP into a single double-layered and double-sided board. Because two individual boards have been shrunk down into one, three problems may occur: Crowded soldering on a circuit board could result in solder skipping or false soldering and could even lead to a short circuit. The simplified board design allows network cameras to become smaller as a whole; however, as the size gets smaller, the heat dissipation mechanism can be compromised. The overcrowding of the pieces of

components on the circuit board makes it difficult to maintain or repair. Therefore, instead of repairing a broken circuit board, the manufacturer would just replace it with a new one. It is a faster solution, but it can take a great toll on installers’ maintenance service. Unless the camera uses power over Ethernet (PoE), to lower the production cost, some manufacturers may simply change its AC/DC power supply to switching mode power supply (SMPS) and simplify the interior power module and voltage stabilizer at the same time. Three problems could surface as a result: Voltage and current flow could be very unstable and fluctuate wildly, thus overheating and damaging the camera. When the external power supply becomes too heavy, the surge protection device (SPD) can be easily penetrated; cameras designed with the substitution or elimination of SPDs or lightning arresters are at greater risk of such damage. In case of lightning strikes, the SMPS

The external casing material, paint selection, fans and jacks used are also possible places to make alterations. could become so sensitive that it would pick up the lightning-induced current and cause damage to the circuit board, which may be too vulnerable to handle strong currents. D. When downgrading electronic components, electrical connections and transmissions in the interior of a camera can be problematic, leading to impedance mismatching to 75Ω. As a consequence, the images shown can be overlapping, too bright, and full of jittery OSD or noise lines. E. Some manufacturers may eliminate the output of video (CVBS) signals or switch the BNC connector to the cheaper RCA jack, even in some network cameras without automatic focus. It may cause a short circuit or loose connection of the BNC connector. Because there is no CVBS output in the camera, installers may spend extra time adjusting the camera focus. F. To substitute the coding component in network cameras, there are two kinds of common selections: applicationspecific integrated circuit (ASIC) and

www.asindia.in

PDF Compressor Pro Special Feature field programmable gate array (FPGA). ASIC is advantageous in terms of achieving low power consumption, but it still has some shortcomings. Therefore, the cheaper FPGA chip is also favorable as it can contribute to a shorter product development period. But FPGA can take up high power consumption, as much as a 30mA current — that’s almost 1 or 2 scales higher than the common power consumption level. G. For PTZ cameras, it is common to see the gear wheel replaced with cheaper chains. As a result, both the horizontal and vertical tilting becomes less smooth and the chains may easily break or fall out of place. Furthermore, when the cradle head stops moving, the chains can exert a kickback force that could shift the camera’s pre-determined angles. H. Another component on a PTZ camera that is easily substituted is the capacitor. A lower-grade capacitor can cause inaccurate cradle head movements and can burn up due to inadequate rotations.

MOTHERBOARDS OF DVRS / NVRS A. DVR/NVR manufacturers usually utilize development boards and kits already on the market to save development and design costs of DVR motherboards. However, this could easily jeopardize a DVR/NVR’s stability and product longevity because of defective firmware and the materials used in the development boards, giving rise to potential risks and faulty performances. B. To reduce cost, some circuit boards would eliminate the CPU cooling fan, which causes the CPU to perform at a compromised level when the server is overheating. Images yielded would not be clear due to mosaic blurriness. C. Transmission wires can be minimized by simplifying the material of jumper

The elimination of a fan can lead to overheating and the breakdown of the machine.

wires. However, this can cause impedance mismatching and the interference of thousands of vertical lines on the monitors. D. DVR/NVR transmission connectors, which have adopted substitute materials, could cause interference, too. The communications between the box, decoders, or control boards could be compromised. E. If the backend server of a DVR/NVR is not equipped with signal blocking materials, interference signals may show up on the display, including diagonal lines, jitters, power supply fluctuations, etc. The interference may not pose a big problem, but badly distorted images resulting from the interference would not be useful to anyone. F. If the DSP components were minimized, then the signals may not be magnified to the desired degree, rendering low-resolution images that may compromise details such as color, saturation, etc. These typically happen when signals greater than 3MHZ are lost. G. The casing of the DVR/NVR may be downgraded with the elimination of a fan. Once again, the overheating issue would cause the machine to breakdown.

CONCLUSION The above scenarios may be the result of common cost reduction measures by manufacturers for their own benefits or because they have no other choice but to. It is not an easy task for integrators and users to distinguish the interior design of equipment. Therefore, what can be and should be done when selecting a product is to evaluate the reactive measures that can solve the abovementioned problems.

midst the hustle and bustle of the fast-developing and fast-growing country that is India — the soon-to-be most populated country in the world, fresh, renewed hope for continual economic growth permeates across the country. Narendra Modi, the newly elected prime minister, represents a renewed optimism in the Indian security industry, and other industries as well. Historically also one of the poorer and lesser-developed countries in the world, India has shown signs of a turnaround and is now headed on a brighter and more optimistic path. The election of Modi has ignited the country as a whole, with so far, “A buzz and definite expectations of changes in the approach and reforms by the Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government,” said Kapil Matta, Director of Marketing & Sales for MitKat Advisory Services. Furthermore, the past five years have been a miss, with the economy growing at a sluggish pace. In the mere two months since the elections in May, the budget plans laid out by the government promises a new foundation for a more “secure and robust India” in the coming future. “Definitive emphasis has been put on sectors such as infrastructure, agriculture, manufacturing, technology, and education,” Matta explained. 75 www.asindia.in 75 www.asindia.in

As Matta explained, announcements of foreign direct investments (FDI) in the defense sector rising from 26 percent to 49 percent have paved the way forward for the security sector. Reforms in the insurance sector and pledges to introduce new real estate developments, as well as infrastructure investment trusts, will surely also help the industry in the future. In addition, India post-election seems to be transforming into one of the most-eyed destinations among economic superpowers, with increasing disposable income for the middle-class population as well as an urgent need to address investments in the infrastructure sectors. The security industry in India is estimated to be worth around US$6.7 billion by 2015. According to Matta, skill development is the constant need of the hour. India today has more than 5 million private security workers engaged in functions such as baggage scanning, x-ray machinery, metal detection, and safeguarding of industrial complexes and corporate areas. Additionally, video surveillance monitoring for critical infrastructure projects such as airports and private ports play 76

another big part in the industry. A unique fact that Matta pointed out is that video surveillance monitoring is categorized as work for semiskilled or unskilled workers. All in all, a closer examination of the security industry and its future growth hinges on a number of factors; both reforms enacted by the Modi government as well as amendments from the Private Security Agencies Regulations (PSAR). Matta elaborated on how the government has recognized specialized security academies that provide advanced training to private security guards, in both technical as well as soft skills. Other organizations worth mentioning include the Security Knowledge and Skill Development Council (SKSDC), which is responsible for coming up with the Star Scheme with the objective of encouraging skill development for youths by providing monetary rewards for successful completion of approved training programs. It aims to increase productivity across the existing workforce and encourage standardization in the certification process. Matta offered a couple of solutions. Scalability needs to be addressed with “centers of excellence” in each and every state to address the ever growing security threats including both physical as well as cyber security issues. “The timeline for any critical and important project should also be ensured. A proposed working committee to address issues such as bureaucracy, restrictions on investments, corruption, and poor infrastructure issues should be made responsible,” he elaborated.

GEOPOLITICAL SCENARIOS Running nearly parallel with Modi’s new initiatives, India’s relationship with its neighbors is also a big factor for the economy. Overall, according to Matta, the geopolitical scenarios in the Indian sub-continent, as well as Asia, appear to be stable. With the new Modi-led BJP government, India plans to have a far more outward reaching perspective from both a commercial and economic standpoint. Specific targets of focus appear to be on countries such as Bhutan, Myanmar, and Japan, with Modi

often expressing his admiration for the Japanese growth model. Not just targeting Asia, “Trade relations with Africa and Latin America could be the jewel in the crown of the BJP-led government,” said Matta. The western state of Gujarat possesses historical trade ties in Africa and could be further leveraged to strengthen India’s political relationships with the continent. Other places of relevant interest include Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, and Bangladesh — where China has already started making huge investments, especially in comparison to India’s current standpoint. Going back to Modi’s new initiative to combat and compete with China’s economic industries, a figurative Great Wall continues to exist that India needs to overcome. One of India’s biggest obstacles is electronics, which continues to be the third-largest component of India’s import bills adding to further trade-deficit woes. It is estimated that electronics imports alone will surge to $400 billion by 2020 from an estimated $45 billion now. One measure Modi is looking to is the levying of certain taxes on some items and goods. “This should assist in a conducive manufacturing environment within the country,” said Matta. By using tax money to

kick-start India’s own manufacturing industry, " the new should help reduce the reliance on india has to this importation in the future. start showing Unfortunately, there is no current and clear character and competition with China in this domain; at least start from their not for the next four to five years, explained Matta. “The backbone of the developmental own backyard. road map for an incorporated India should be corruption information communication technology.

INDIA’S NEW HOMELAND SECURITY

Newly-elected Prime Minister Narendra Modi hopes that by taking a more aggressive approach, he can revitalize the Indian economy and invigorate the stagnant technological industries.

APPROACH

By announcing a zero-tolerance approach towards Maoism, Modi has made his intentions clear regarding the cleaning up of Indian ultra-leftist radicals. However, despite this declaration, the government is by no means taking an extremely aggressive stance either. Rather, the government has announced a more balanced act. This “soft” approach has not been without criticism, as the majority of Indians were expecting a far bolder approach, which included tackling the Maoist contentions with the utmost sincerity and secondly, rigidly dealing with any armed rebellions. “This would have been the most ideal approach, as there have been peace negotiations in the past in 2002 and 2004 that ended with no clear result.” However, it is not to say that nothing has been done about the Maoist extremists either. In the two months since the election, top Maoist leader Sabyasachi Panda has been arrested, and in various operations police officials have recovered more than 130 landmines and 18 pressure cooker bombs. According to Matta, various problems still exist, especially on the political level. “The new India has to start showing character and start from their own backyard. Corruption needs to be curtailed and there is a definitive need to improve governance. The intensity of the

www.asindia.in

PDF Compressor Pro Market Dynamics

problem would fall drastically. The problems in existence today are due to bureaucratic corruption, political insensitivity, and police ineffectiveness. This should improve with the new government at the center.” One thing worth noting about the counter-terrorism sector is the overwhelming consensus that neighboring Pakistan is perceived to be the biggest threat to India’s homeland security. In fact, 47 percent of all Indians see Pakistan in that light. The Islamic terrorist extremists Lashkar-e-Taiba follow at 20 percent, and the Maoist guerrilla groups, the Naxalites, round out the top three at 19 percent. This is especially brought to light because India is unfortunately in a region where instability and unrest have been ongoing for decades. Coupled with political instability, it’s not difficult to picture why homeland security is at the forefront of India’s security priorities.

LOOKING DOWN THE ROAD Modi’s planned initiatives and future plans seem focused on making speedy decisions with an emphasis on reviving economic growth and giving priority to infrastructure and manufacturing. Small airports, the infusion of the Diamond Quadrilateral high-speed trains project, and the Sagar Mala project to connect ports to the hinterland will be the focus areas of Modi’s government as part of the effort to upgrade the country’s much needed infrastructure. The budget further allows complete tax exemptions of real estate investment trusts and additional infrastructure trusts of a similar plan in the infrastructure sectors. This is a long-term positive for attracting cheaper, long-term financing for commercial real estate and infrastructure projects. The budget plan also relaxed the terms for issuance of debt funds used for infrastructure investments by banks and international finance corporations. Overall, the security sector will definitely see a huge boost from the aforementioned projects where a few are already under way and most are planned to commence soon. The entire security industry from consultants to OEMs to SIs will be part of this overhaul with prime focus on training and awareness to bridge the expectations and the chances of a successful plan. Only once these projects are streamlined can the IP infrastructure begin to become realized. All things considered, the new government is both ambitious and extremely focused. With clearer and more transparent plans compared to previous administrations, there really does exist a proverbial light at the end of the long tunnel. To right the ship, Modi has set sail an enormous plan to boost India into the realm of the economic superpowers, and carry a country of over a billion people into better economic stability and peace. With a little bit of luck, India’s manufacturing and heavy industries sector should become streamlined alongside the infrastructure and energy sector. With investment boosts in real estate and infrastructure funds and trusts, there will be better liquidity, transparency in the government, and overall growth which in turn will impact the security industry in a major way, from the people, processes, and technology perspective. The future looks bright, for a country that has been waiting a long time.

September 2014

Putting the Emphasis on Technology According to one of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s post-election talks in early June, he hopes putting emphasis on his “Skill, Scale, and Speed” approach will lead India to a better, more prosperous economy. During the talk, he highlighted, “The need of the hour is to think big. The more we focus on skill, scale, and speed, the more it will Pramoud Rao, MD, Zicom increase India’s growth trajectory.” Electronic Security Systems One of the biggest concerns as far as economic rivals go is its northeastern neighbor, China. However, as Pramoud Rao, MD for Zicom Electronic Security Systems put it, “India is too far and too small to compete with the Chinese security market. In China, the government is already supporting the security industry by investing in start-ups and helping them to grow domestically by creating local demand. In India, this is simply not the case.” However, to combat the monstrous economic superpower that is China, Modi continuously emphasized the need for a self-reliant and self-confident India, as well as the need for better infrastructure in India. Modi emphasized the need to modernize India’s existing infrastructure networks and further the expansion into optical fiber networks. Unfortunately, as Rao explained, “the push towards better IP infrastructure has not been on a large canvas. When cities start becoming more digitalized, we hope this will start to change.” Expanding more on Modi’s “Skill, Scale, and Speed” approach, a plan to promote and build India’s brand internationally has also been put forth by Modi by capitalizing on the five “Ts:” tradition, tourism, trade, talent, and technology. According to Kapil Matta, Director of Marketing and Sales for MitKat Advisory Services, these policies can be realized within the security industry as well, although the roadmap needs to be completely re-laid. With a special partiality on technology, Rao, said, “Modi has been an ardent ambassador of promoting technology since his tenure as Chief Minister of Gujarat. We are sure he will continue to aggressively promote technology to compliment his vision in turning India into a superpower under his regime.” To put it in another light, Modi has been actively advocating technological penetration across all market sectors, with a special emphasis on the education and manufacturing front. He has mentioned technological advances from digital literacy to the government building up India to become a more intelligent and self-sufficient country. Sprucing up the infrastructure, ensuring better network connectivity, reducing VATs, and providing better access to easy bank loans are just some examples that Internet sources have cited that could have drastic impacts on the future of India’s technological super highway.

IP-based access control meets a variety of important needs for metro rail and other transit operations. For instance, public transport system operators must be able to prevent unauthorized entry and closely manage access to all stations and electrical substations, as well as the parking lots and major facilities at metro line sections. The same systems must also protect equipment and staff at key locations including fixed plants, offices, equipment areas, machine rooms, and automatic fare collection (AFC) system management offices, as well as the central station, communications equipment rooms and many other public areas.

IP access control provides an effective solution, by offering a centralized, top-tobottom, web-based access control system with which to monitor all stations and site equipment in real time. Readers can be installed where needed, and connected to a network controller for central access management and report generation. All central management functions can be performed at the metro line control center, which consists of a central server, an access authority management station, a central station, and all associated system software. With this solution, the central station administrator can track and manage door access in all metro stations, improving flexibility and speeding response to network failures. Meanwhile, controllers enable every

Both the control center and station offices are connected to the central server via TCP/IP for data transmission. Remote computers can be deployed at high security level zones, with the administrator can manually controlling access. A controller is used for station access management, and if communication with the host is lost, each station control center can independently operate using a reader interface. In this way, metro station offices can work independently when they are offline with the central station. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s IP-based, networked access control solutions fulfill the need for topto-bottom management capabilities at metropolitan transportation systems. Administrators can track door access in all metro stations, check event logs and remotely control access to entry points. This approach assures maximum flexibility and the fastest possible response to network failures, with all operations protected by multi-layered security and fail-over support.

to protecting a physical security network. Key threats that need to be mitigated include restricting physical access to the network. This means that endpoints connected to the network should be physically secured and the network port’s endpoint is connected to should only allow access for that endpoint. One of the largest risks we see is resilience or redundancy, that is, ensuring there is no single point of failure within a physical security network that could affect the operation of the network. This means ensuring that the core of the network is duplicated or fully redundant, ensuring that there are multiple paths between equipment and ensuring that key equipment has redundant power supplies and that those power supplies are connected to different power circuits, ideally on different phases.”

Key Considerations “It is important that a formal risk analysis is conducted using a proven risk assessment method. This should ideally be conducted either by an internal team if they have this competency, or ideally an external organization that are risk assessment experts that will not be involved in the actual deployment. This ensures independence of the risk assessment and is likely to result in a better outcome for the organization,” informed Subhasish Gupta. He further added, “A security team needs to be headed by a knowledgeable and trusted person. The person needs to be trusted by the team and the organization. A culture of openness and honesty needs to be fostered to ensure the highest level of security and trust.”

Prevention “Today’s networks go beyond traditional boundaries, and constantly evolve and spawn new attack vectors: mobile devices, web-enabled and mobile applications, hypervisors, social media, web browsers, home computers, and even vehicles. Point-in-time solutions can’t respond to the myriad technologies and strategies in use by malicious actors. This makes monitoring and managing information security even more difficult for security teams,” observed Pravin Srinivasan. He further added, “Organizational vulnerabilities are increasing because enterprises are working through disaggregated point solutions and multiple management platforms which results in a set of disparate technologies across control points that were never designed to work together. This increases the potential for the compromise of customer information, intellectual property, and other sensitive information, and puts a company’s reputation at risk. A continuous capability that provides the best opportunity to meet the challenges of complex threat environments is needed.”

With the complexity of threats and corresponding solutions at an all-time high, organizations need to rethink their security strategy. Instead of relying on point solutions, they can minimize complexity by continuously integrating security into the fabric of the network itself, so the network can:

•

•

Continuously monitor and analyse files and identify subsequent malicious behaviour whenever it may begin. Help organizations scale enforcement, expanding the surface on which networking devices can be placed. Accelerate the time to detection because it can see more traffic. Give organizations the ability to aggregate unique context awareness that is not possible to obtain by relying on security-specific devices alone. Response

“It is important that the organization doesn’t have a culture where fingers will be pointed or blame attributed as this often results in information about the incident being obscured or distorted. An organizational culture of openness and honesty will ensure that the true nature of the incident can be uncovered to ensure that the risk can be mitigated so it won’t be exploited again in the future,” concluded Subhasish Gupta.
