FAST CHANGING INDIAN SECURITY MARKET

India being the world’s largest aggressively independent democracy and an emerging economic giant, has implemented a set of reforms leading to major improvement in the business environment. An increasing amount of business value and personal information worldwide are rapidly migrating into digital form. The Indian Security Market scenario is fast changing and the need for Security on all fronts have become vital. Our crisis-punctuated times further problematise the complexity of the global order. While transcending global forces make the borders irrelevant, the chauvinist national voices loudly proclaim the need to fortress state borders and make them non-porous. Technology simultaneously shrinks the world into a global village and expands it in the virtual realm. The pursuit of stability and order in these circumstances of flux requires frequent recalibrations of security concerns. Threat to India’s security is posed by both ‘changing global imperatives’ and ‘internal security’. The deterioration in the global security environment, largely contingent on the policies of major powers, is evident in the escalation of continuing conflicts across the world. Access control technology does not have a “one-size fits all” solution that will work for all. The security equipment always needs to handle newer necessities and technology up-gradation at regular intervals. Visitors entering at various establishments have escalated and an automated entry management solution giving better control and situational awareness is the need of the hour. The aim of Fire Safety planning is to provide maximum protection to the occupants of the commercial and residential buildings by providing leading technological equipment, seamless training and supported by technical competence from the solution providers. This edition of a&sINDIA provides a review of Indian Security Market from both the end-users and OEM point of view making it an interesting reading. Thanking all the contributors to this magazine we look forward to another exciting edition of a&sINDIA focusing on the automation and security needs of the Retail Sector.

a&sINDIA Review I have been an avid reader of a&sINDIA magazine for the past few years, I have found the topics covered in each of the edition has been relevant considering the then prevailing trend of the security industry. Like the smart city edition published recently covered the entire spectrum of solutions available for building smart cities, and the edition on the transport sector was well covered on security aspects of transport sector. Most of the news of the security industry are adequately covered in the magazine, as well as the viewpoints of various eminent personalities as published in the magazine provide a local as well as the global disposition of security industry in India. I look forward to reading the upcoming editions of your magazines. Also, I would

request if there can be one special edition on make in India IOT products, and other on the growth of physical security apps, it would be nice! - Purvesh Gada, Mumbai

Security and Smart Cities go hand in hand Smart homes, Safe cities and Cyber security are the current focus in both the public and private sectors. The rate of urbanization has moved cities to adopt and implement ‘Smart City’ programmes. Innovative solutions and technologies are much sought after to ensure that security risks in cities are minimised. The lack of understanding of such innovations will lead to improper implementation and execution making it difficult to ensure that a smart city is safe. In developing Smart Cities, the local government may partner both with big service and technology providers, as well as with small and medium-sized local firms or start-ups. Smart PPPs may involve comprehensive reforms of the legislation and procurement procedures. There is a wide range of legal arrangements available for the different parties to enter into a partnership for better implementation of secure Smart Cities. - Mazood Shaikh, Hyderabad Security in skyscrapers The skyscraper buildings certainly have proven to be a big boon to humanity at large but also have a small demon hidden in it termed as ‘Security’. The need for the sophisticated security systems in the high rise structures is due to rise in population, increase of migration, nuclear family, non-availability of reliable domestic help, limitation of horizontal expansion, change in lifestyle, speedy life etc. It becomes vital

to have high-speed network of all the devices, appliances and functions at user’s home, thus making them to communicate with each other using Internet access or SMS available with the mobile phones. Information, communication, entertainment, security, automation etc all these functions are designed carefully so as to be accessible from the simple user interface. These security systems not only serve the prime purpose of security but also make human life more comfortable, luxurious & happier. - Ashwini Patil,Mumbai

D-Link and Kwilt Partner Hikvision's DarkFighterX camera to Offer Consumers wins GIT Award 2018 Access to Home Photos Anywhere, Anytime

Hikvision, the world’s leading supplier of innovative video surveillance products and solutions, is pleased to announce that its DarkFighterX camera (iDS2DF8225IH-A) has won a GIT Award 2018 in Category C – CCTV, Video Security. The camera, which was launched earlier this year, is the next level of night surveillance and an upgrade of Hikvision’s DarkFighter technology. The technology can provide colourful, sharp images right down to the lowest light levels – in fact to 0.001 lux. This takes colour to the max by taking inspiration from the way the human eye works. Eyes use different cells to collect colour and brightness information, which the brain then merges. The DarkFighterX cameras take information from an IR sensor (for brightness) and information from a visible light sensor (for colour) and combines them to provide the best of both worlds – one bright full-colour image. The camera is at the cutting edge of security technology and is particularly useful in applications that require 24h full-colour images, like cities - streets, squares and parks; outdoors - rivers and forests; and transportation – railways and ports.

We are honoured to receive this award as we are constantly striving to develop products that are high quality and fit for purpose. This is especially relevant to us as it represents the voice of readers of GIT Security – our customers Derek Yang

President, EU, Hikvision

VIVOTEK Appoints CTDI As Authorised Repair Partner In India

Videonetics secures FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017 at Salt Lake Stadium, Kolkata

The strategic alignment is aimed at minimizing the service time that VIVOTEK’s state-of-the-art product offerings had to experience during maintenance.

z New York tightens security after truck attack out of caution, not over concern of more attacks

22 Dead, Dozens Injured in Boiler Blast at NTPC Power Plant in UP

The suspect, who allegedly drove along a Manhattan cycle path killing eight people, told police he “felt good” about Tuesday’s Halloween attack. The victims were five Argentines who had travelled to New York to celebrate 30 years since their high school graduation, a young mother from Belgium and two Americans. Mr.Saipov, 29, an Uzbek immigrant, was shot at the scene by police, according to officials. Mr. Saipov was known to US authorities after his name was associated with the subjects of FBI counter-terrorism investigations in 2015. The source says the suspect had some contact with individuals who were considered radicalised extremists, at least one of whom was Uzbek. It is unclear whether those being investigated were in the US or overseas. New York officials said security would be enhanced in the days ahead after what they said was a lone-wolf terror attack in Lower Manhattan. But they said the motivation was vigilance — not out of concern about more attacks looming. “There are also heavy-weapons teams being deployed throughout the city at key iconic locations.”

We have added more resources, more police officers, heavy-weapons teams, blocker vehicles on the streets leading to the route, as well as more sand trucks Carlos Gomez

“There is no ongoing threat. There is no evidence of that at this time. There is no reason to have any undue anxiety,” Cuomo said. “You will see more security forces, but it’s only because of an abundance of caution, and not a signal of anything else.”

22 people were killed and dozens were scalded as a boiler exploded Wednesday afternoon in the newest power generating unit at a state-run NTPC plant in Raebareli in Uttar Pradesh. The number of dead and injured may rise as many are believed to be trapped inside the unit. Many of the injured have suffered severe burns. The boiler pipe burst in the 500 MW power generating unit that started operating in March at the plant in Unchahar, which is nearly 30 years old. A massive fire broke out and a huge ball of dust rose after the explosion, making rescue difficult.

Blockages in the flue gas pipe in a unit led to the blast. Hot flue gases and steam let out by the blast severely injured several workers Sanjay Kumar Khatri Collector & DM, Raebareli

The accident occurred in the ash-handling section of the plant and ash gushed out at high-temperature, burying several workers, said Lalmani Verma, an engineer at NTPC. These incidents have become a recurrent and should definitely be a warning bell for all the industrial plants across India to be vigilant and keep close check on the equipment and boilers. It is vital for the Fire Departments to enforce strict ordinance and regular inspection visits. The fire equipment manufacturers have the state of the art products that need to reach these setups.

z Draft Regulation of CAR on Civil Use of Drones Announced

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has come up with draft regulations on civil use of drones which will also enable commercial use of drones for tasks like photography, doorstep delivery and even passenger transport, Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju announced on 1 November. Under the draft rules, the drones are classified into five categories based on their maximum take-off weight: nano (up to 250 gm), micro (251 gm to two kg), mini (2 kg to 25 kg), small (25 kg to 150 kg) and large (greater than 150 kg).

Except for nano category and those operated by government security agencies, all other commercial categories of drones will be registered by DGCA which will issue it a Unique Identification Number R.N. Choubey

Secretary, Civil Aviation

The Civil Aviation Ministry said that mini and above categories will require Unmanned Aircraft Operator Permit while model aircraft up to 2 kg flown below 200 feet inside educational institution premises will not require the permit. Remote pilots of the drones will have to undergo requisite training except in case of nano and micro categories.

NOVEMBER 2017

www.asindia.in

The draft rules also imposed some restrictions on use of drones in terms of no-fly zones which include area within 5 km from an airport, within 50 km from international border, beyond 500 metres into the sea along the coastline, within 5 km radius from Vijay Chowk in Delhi and from mobile platform such as a moving vehicle, ship or aircraft. They would also not be permitted to fly over densely populated areas without prior approval and over areas affecting public safety or where emergency operations are underway, the statement added.

North Korea nuclear tunnel COLLAPSES ‘killing at least 200 people, triggers fear of a massive radioactive leak

The collapse happened at the Punggye-ri nuclear test site in the country’s north-east on October 10 2017. The disaster has prompted fears of a massive radioactive leak which could spark a Chernobyl- or Fukushima-style disaster. A North Korean official said the collapse happened during the construction of an underground tunnel. Some 100 people are said to have been trapped by the initial tunnel collapse, with a further 100 lost in a second collapse during a rescue operation.

We call it ‘taking the roof off’. If the mountain collapses and the hole is exposed, it will let out many bad things.A 100 kiloton bomb is a relatively large bomb. The North Korean government should stop the tests as they pose a huge threat not only to North Korea but to other countries, especially China Dr.Wang Naiyan

Chairman, China Nuclear Society

The accident is believed to have been caused by Kim Jong-un’s sixth nuclear test which weakened the mountain. Earlier this year the mountain under which the base is believed to be hidden was at risk of collapsing and leaking radiation into the region. Experts said if the peak crumbles, clouds of radioactive dust and gas would blanket the region. The Punggye-ri test site is carved deep into the side of Mount Mantap. The blast caused numerous landslides around the Punggye-ri test site. The collapse could spark a major environmental disaster. These incidents have become recurrent and should definitely be a warning bell for all the industrial plants across India to be vigilant and keep close check on the equipment and boilers.

The incorporation of Fire Safety Planning is very essential today and in design process to make our living and workplace safer. NAFFCO understands this need of the hour and hence has implemented new innovative monitoring system that enables to monitor the Fire Pump 24/7 where ever it is. Submitted by - naffco

hat Fire Safety Planning needs to be incorporated in residential, commercial or industrial facilities? The incorporation of Fire Safety Planning is very essential today and in design process to make our living and workplace safer. The combined efforts of designers, code officials and stakeholders can result is safer work areas and residence for firefighters, residents and workers as well. When Fire Safety Planning is implemented the designs of facilities are tailored to meet emergency service operation, response needs, time and complexity needed to mitigate. This in turn increases the Safety of the building occupants, workers, residents, visitors and reduces property damage and limit related indirect loses. During the early stages of the planning process the identification of suitable roads, water, fire protection, response times around the city and surrounding areas is vital for the fire service to understand for gaining access to any property, resources as fire suppression systems design and subsequent construction. Also ensure homes and business are not only consistent with government regulations but also safe fort their occupants and workers.

What are the steps involved in Fire Safety Planning?  Conduct a fire safety audit of the facility- Identify Building Features and Human Resources.  Appointment of Supervisory Staff- Identify Trained Supervisory Staff Duties and responsibilities.  Develop Emergency Procedures- Establish Fire Emergency Evacuation procedures  Fire Drill Procedures and Training - Fire drills are an integral part of preparedness. Fire Drills should be in consultation with the local Fire Services  Maintenance of Building Facilities and Fire Protection Equipment- Detailed schedule of fire protection features checked, inspected, tested and maintained.  Alternative measures for Occupant Safety-Establish fire watch procedures for temporary shutdown of fire protection equipment or systems.  Control of Fire Hazards- Avoid, Prevent, Reduce, and Control Fire Hazards.  Preparing Evacuation and Site Plans- Fire Plan Diagram identifies type, location and operation of building features Approval Safety Plan- Requires approval by Fire Officials or Fire authority.  Implement and Maintain Fire Safety Plan- Owner implements and maintain safety plan.

NOVEMBER 2017

How Fire Safety Planning can be helpful in averting fire hazards? Some of the benefits of a Fire Safety Plan include: reduction in incidence of fire through awareness, promotes fire hazard identification and elimination. It also promotes employee safety and awareness. It coordinates business and fire department resources during a fire emergency. It reduces the potential impact of a fire on the business and communities, injuries, losses, liability and it also enhances fire code compliance. The implementation of a Fire Safety Plan helps to assure effective utilization of life safety features in a building, to protect people from fire. The required Fire Safety Plan should be designed to suit the resources of each individual building or complex of buildings. Fire Safety Plans are intended to assist the owner of a building with the basic essentials for the safety of all occupants, to ensure an orderly evacuation at the time of an emergency and to provide a maximum degree of flexibility.

www.asindia.in

What are the latest technologies and solutions for Fire Safety Plan? There currently exist a range of methods for making ventilation gaps fire resistant. Intumescent materials that expand on exposure to flames and hot smoke gases create a seal against the spread of fire. However, these take a few minutes to fully seal, so still allow fire to spread in the critical early stages. The alternative technology is flame arresters which uses the principle of a quenching distance to prevent combustion. Cloud system for Fire Pumps: Fire pump is considered the most important and critical

equipment in the whole firefighting system. It is considered as the heart of the system. Due to this, it became very necessary to monitor firefighting pump on 24 / 7 bases. This is to make sure the system is running perfectly, and to get immediate alarms or messages in case of any failure, critical or up normal situation, so as the dedicated maintenance team can do the necessary actions in early and immediate stages. NAFFCO is implementing new innovative monitoring system that enables to monitor the Fire Pump 24/7 where ever it is. Features: Real-Time Information Captures real-time information about the Fire Panels Integration with map Generate Alerts to the Service Desk Fault Management Assists to identify and notify fault conditions to operators immediately Content based routing through notifications via email, SMS Alerts passive assets failure Alerts when events deviate from preset threshold

Analytics Helps to visualize and gain insights in a centralised point of control for pro-active decisions thus improves profits. Ability to select and filter events based on specific criteria Ability to forecast outcomes based on the archive report ESFR systems Are ceiling-mounted, featuring high-pressure heads capable of producing a high volume of water â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about 100 gallons of water per minute. Unlike a conventional sprinkler system made to control a fire, ESFR fire safety technology suppresses the fire (shrinks it back to the point of origin). These systems require large amounts of water and are hooked up to fire pumps.

Integrated Voice Evacuation and Messaging System Not all fire safety technologies are built to fight fires but some protect people. An integrated voice alerts occupants with pre-recorded messages when a fire breaks out.

When Fire Safety Planning is implemented the designs of facilities are tailored to meet emergency service operation, response needs, time and complexity needed to mitigate Ketan Sethi Export Manager, NAFFCO

Fire safety is regarded as a component of building safety. In India, it is governed by the Building bylaws and National Building Code. Submitted by Jeetendra Kumar Singh, Chief Security OfficerFortis Memorial Research Institute

hat Fire Safety Planning needs to be incorporated in residential, commercial or industrial facilities? Fire safety is the set of practices intended to reduce the destruction caused by fire. Fire safety measures include provision of equipment and installations which are intended to detect, alarm, and prevent ignition of an uncontrolled fire, and it also includes equipment/ installations that are used to limit the development and effects of a fire after it starts. These measures are planned at conceptualisation / architectural level and executed during the construction of a building or implemented in structures that are already standing / existing.

The NBC (National Building Code) Part 4 – 2016 covers following broad clauses : (1) Fire Prevention - covering aspects of fire prevention pertaining to design and construction of buildings on passive fire protection measures, also describing the various types of building materials and their fire rating. (2) Life Safety - covering life safety provisions in the event of fire and similar emergencies, also addressing construction and occupancy features that are necessary to minimise danger to life from fire, smoke, fumes or panic. (3) Fire Protection - Covering the significant appurtenances and their related components and guidelines for selecting the correct type of equipment and installation meant for fire protection of the building, depending upon the classification and type of the building.

Having said this, Fire Safety Planning in residential, commercial or industrial facilities evolves around above mentioned aspects. Depending on the peculiarities associated with operations in residential, commercial or industrial facilities, the applications / execution of Fire Safety Planning may vary, but the basic remains the same for all these three sectors.

What are the steps involved in Fire Safety Planning? Planning / Conceptualization stage – In this stage, fire safety measures are defined as provisioned in NBC and Building Bylaws and proposed for execution be it a residential, commercial or industrial facility. Execution Stage – In this stage, defined and proposed fire safety measures are installed and integrated, while the structures of residential, commercial or industrial facilities come up. Building management and safety matrices are defined and Fire Safety protocols are defined in this stage. Various equipment and installations are integrated with Building management system and Fire Safety Plans are made. Training / Capacity Building Stage – On the basis of Building management ,safety matrices and Fire Safety protocols the training modules are developed and are conducted for the occupants / employees. Buildings are divided into Fire Zones and wardens are identified. Exercise / Audit stage – Once all these three stages are clear, it paves the way for exercises and drills to test the efficacy of the Fire Safety Plans. Infrastructure Safety and Security Audits ensure adherence to Fire Safety norms, which is essential part of Fire Safety Planning.

How Fire Safety Planning can be helpful in averting fire hazards? If a structure of residential, commercial or industrial facilities is made in accordance with NBC and in total conformity with Building Bylaws, it eliminates half of the problem of Fire Hazards. Integration of Fire Safety measures at the conceptualization level of a building making ensures safety as most of the related aspects are covered by confirming to certain quality and safety standards. This in turns helps contain the fire hazards and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occurrence in the building. It is also worth mentioning that training and exercises (Fire and Mock Evacuation drills etc) are important part of Fire Safety planning, it helps spread awareness and capacity building, this also in turn helps in neutralising the threat of the Fire Hazards. What are the latest technologies and solutions for Fire Safety Planning? Point to Point Automatic Fire detection and Alarm system, Automatic water sprinkler system, Fire Hydrants, Fire Separation Wall, Emergency Lighting, Smoke Management System, Fire detection and Fighting system like FM 200, Fire Lifts, Various

Training and exercises (Fire and Mock Evacuation drills etc) are important part of Fire Safety planning, it helps spread awareness and capacity building, this also in turn helps in neutralising the threat of the Fire Hazards

types of Fire Exit and guidance systems, PA Systems, various Evacuation and Rescue devices, Breathing Apparatus system, Fire Entry Suits, and Sky lifts etc are conventional solutions for Fire safety planning, however, integration and upgradations of these systems with Cyber and IT aspect is happening at a very fast pace. In days to come we may see installations of many such IT enabled intelligent Fire Safety systems

India is one of the largest security markets in the world after the US and China. The Indian security market can be a test case for lots of futuristic technologies like Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Deep Learning, Big Data, and Machine Learning. India also has the vast pool of trained engineers and skilled workforce. The incumbent government needs to understand the immense potential of India’s Security solution providers; it could be the next opportunity for security professionals and business community. We can simply rewrite the history by replicating the IT success story by 2020

According to Mr.Aditya Khemka,Managing Director,CP Plus,” The Indian Security Market is growing by leaps and bounds. As the need for efficient and reliable security systems continues to grow, key trends paving the way forward in security and surveillance will be the increased adoption of Internet of Things (IoT); consolidated

cyber security policies as digitization transforms life; and smart video analytics for identifying breaches before they cause damage. Undoubtedly, the security revolution will continue to manifest creating new possibilities to detect and deter threats more effectively.” According to Robbin Shen, Director, India & SAARC Region, Dahua Technology India,”The security market in India is well poised for welcoming 2018 with greater hope, enthusiasm and confidence. The recent initiatives taken by the Indian government have created a buoyant atmosphere in the security industry. The Goods & Services Tax or the GST has come down on many electronic security items leading to affordability to a large section of the Indian society. The government also made it mandatory to have security systems in various places and means of transport. The Indian economy is also set for higher growth. The growing awareness about the benefits of electronic security equipment amongst the Tier-I, Tier-II, and Tier-III cities is expected to escalate demand for electronic security equipment in the near future. The booming commercial and industrial sectors driven by the increasing number of offices, retail stores, and large industries in the country is also likely to contribute to the growth of India electronic security market in the coming years. Growth in demand for electronic security equipment has also attracted the attention of many domestic and foreign electronic security equipment manufactures and others to tap this segment of the domestic market.So, on the whole the security market will witness enhanced growth and increased adoption of security solutions and technologies. The year 2018 will be an exciting year for the India’s security industry. According to Sudhindra Holla, Country Manager-Axis Communication, “The Indian security market is still fragmented but is poised to witness immense growth in coming year with increasing crimes, emergencies and threats from terrorists. We see a need for India as a country to adopt security policies and ensure a safe and secure environment. Today security has gained primary importance in various sectors like city surveillance, hospitality, airport security, banking sector, retail, BPO, manufacturing infrastructure companies and education sectors. In terms of volume demand, private sector showing vast potential outlining the sectors using IP surveillance practices, though we see a huge requirement in the Government sector however there is still a long way to go for its adoption and implementation throughout the country. The biggest trends to look out for are the adoption of advanced technologies in the Indian security market. Consumers are no longer interested in low cost, general purpose cameras. There is a growing demand of highly sophisticated solutions, such as thermal imaging, low-light receptor, advanced sensors and facial identification etc. Not only enterprises, people are also far more cautious due to the expansion in urbanization and want to adopt these solutions which can be customized according to their requirements. Although there is a majority market share of analog systems, this is poised for a change in the coming years with a rapid paradigm shift to IP adoption.

Big Data is the next big thing in CCTV cameras and solutions, as it helps in effectively manage and use the endless amounts of video data being generated. CCTVs are not only becoming pocket-friendly, but with reducing maintenance costs, the total cost of ownership is also reducing drastically. IoT is driving the need for edge based devices with interconnectedness to central intelligence/ analytics. We see increasing adoption of edge based analytics in applications like city surveillance and traffic management for Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) & Red Light Violation Detection System (RLVDS). Video analytics is also penetrating the mid segment applications like POS integration, people counting, facial recognition, masking for retail and banking verticals.”

as a hurdle in the smooth growth of this industry. Cyber security being still in its nascent stages further adds to the apprehension and warrants measures to secure all the data being generated. That said, the security market in India offers opportunities at various levels as well, including transition, upgrades, customization, and other value added services. With effective customer training, education, and feedback mechanism in place, security solutions are both accessible and affordable today.” Aditya Khemka MD, CP Plus

A number of start-up security companies are redefining security and thereby rewriting the future of the industry. As one of them ourselves, we can safely say that we have been able to change the way security is perceived. What was earlier thought of as a commercial requirement, has now been redefined as a basic need. Today, surveillance has now become an integral part of homes and commercial undertakings, and its utility and significance is only growing by the day

Ajay Bhayani, Director, Ambisure Technologies said that, ”According to a recent report by NASSCOM, Internet economy in India is expected to touch INR 10 trillion by 2018. Which accounts almost for 5% of country’s GDP. The Information Technology (IT) sector has seen the YOY growth of 12-14%. Indian eCommerce start-ups like Flipkart, MakeMyTrip, Ola have opted to be supported by Cloud-based rather than traditional on-premise IT infrastructure. Digital India initiatives have immensely improved the growth of data center infrastructure market, which is expected to touch US$ 4.5 billion by 2018 from current US$ 2.2 billion according to report by IAMA. Such investments have generated a tremendous need for IT & Cyber Security to protect Organisations’ Assets viz., Information, Reputation, Brand, and Intellectual Property, Investments, Research, Customer lists & Business process. Total spend on Security by Banks has been growing YOY at 8-9%.” The challenges and opportunities that Indian Security Market is confronting “The complex business environment is changing for better. There is a special focus by government on simplification of bureaucratic procedures and archaic policy framework. The Indian market is very price sensitive, but now the government and private sector buyers understand the value of innovations and high end products. A highly fragmented supply base means that customers are able to choose from a wide selection of alternative products. Nevertheless, the Indian market offers excellent growth opportunities for vendors with the right approach”,informed Ashish Dhakan. Aditya Khemka had to say, “The security industry comprises of a significant sized unorganized sector, and owing to the lack of government policies, frameworks and standards, quality and service cannot be evaluated . Further, the lack of education and awareness about security also stands

Robbin Shen said that,“The challenges include delay in implantation of projects, cumbersome procedures, lack of skilled manpower in rural India which is now a growing market, inadequate infrastructure, lack of standardization, natural disasters and terrorism are the main challenges that are being faced in India especially in the government funded surveillance projects. Geographical challenges include extreme weather conditions, long distances (geographical spread), and hostile terrain present unique transportation and storage requirements, which need a high degree of customization both in planning and in execution of product distribution to rural India. To ensure healthy growth, the security industry must follow some quality certifications. While standards should be formulated for equipment, suppliers and installers should be certified as per their performance and professionalism. The opportunities are humongous. The advent of ‘Smart City’ ,’Digital India’ ‘Safe City’ ‘ City Surveillance’ ‘ Housing For All’ initiatives have opened flood gates of opportunities for the security Industry in India. New ports, airports, metros, bullet trains, expressways, educational institutions, hotels, health care facilities, retail chains, real estate condominiums will dot the Indian landscape in the coming years. They all require security. Hence, there are more opportunities in India in the coming years for this industry to grow and prosper. “ Sudhindra Holla continued to say, “There is a growing requirement for video analytics embedded in surveillance systems. CCTV cameras now are not just meant to monitor the premises and store them for the future use. The feed can now be analyzed in real time for the control room to have data on people and movement. In the past, video surveillance was synonymous with security applications, with technology opening the door to new business opportunities and markets. Surveillance had been used to detect human threats however we can now also react to environmental threats, fire hazards and chemical contamination with the right blend of technology. Digital technology offers the opportunity to provide customized solutions which can easily be integrated with retail analytics. The biggest threat to the projects is data security, in the form of cyber-attacks and manipulation of surveillance data. Digitisation of data can make any institution vulnerable to attacks, data breaches can take place at any point. From an implementation point of view, the challenge lies in the arduous process of selecting vendors who have the technologies and deploying their solutions in a multi-vendor environment. Another challenge is changing the mindset of the citizens. Low quality CCTV cameras are not capable of detecting faces and license plates - the main requirement for law enforcement in their investigation. It is critical to raise these issues and generate awareness about the benefits of using high resolution cameras and software.” Ajay Bhayani speaking about the cyber security mentioned, “Large Organisations have identified the need of IT Security and there has been changing in a way IT services are being used. Organisations have come to realize that only Antivirus & Firewalls are not the best protection against data theft & cybercrime. This has led to change in demand of security solutions like: Vulnerability Assessment & Management, Website protection and Two Factor Authentication.”

Ajay Bhayani went ahead to say “The major challenges are reactive approach in most of the business verticals due to lack of security awareness among organisations. Organisations tend to be negligent to maintain and upgrade the existing Security deployments. In the non-financial sectors there is the absence of strict compliances or regulations. Additional investment on the high cost of IT & Cyber-security solutions for SMBs. Limited workforce of cyber-security with accurate domain knowledge.” India be the trendsetter to the world According to Ashish P Dhakan,“India is one of the largest security markets in the world after the US and China. The Indian security market can be a test case for lots of futuristic technologies like Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Deep Learning, Big Data, and Machine Learning. India also has the vast pool of trained engineers and skilled workforce. The incumbent government needs to understand the immense potential of India’s Security solution providers; it could be the next opportunity for security professionals and business community. We can simply rewrite the history by replicating the IT success story by 2020.” Aditya Khemka mentioned that, ”The security industry is constantly evolving, and R&D is imperative to developing better products & services. Manufacturers, especially new players, require funds to undertake R&D. As such venture capital funding can be enabling in a major way.” Robbin Shen says,”With determined efforts India can be the trend setter to the world in the security sphere. India has the potential. Its young workforce, growing technically qualified professionals and the rising middle class are the demographic dividends that will

drive the economy. However, before becoming the trend setter, India has to cover a lot of grounds in the coming years to iron out the wrinkles in the system. Ease of doing business, less cumbersome procedures, higher incentives to R & D and entrepreneurs,creating a conducive atmosphere for business will certainly put into in a different orbit paving way for global leadership in the security space future.” Beyond mergers and acquisitions for the leading global security market According to Ashish P Dhakan,“The consolidation trend will continue with a slew of mergers and acquisitions. It will bring a new order and stability to the unorganized security market scene. The consumer will be benefitted by consolidation process.” Robbin Shen says, ”Although mergers and acquisitions are here to stay for the inorganic growth of companies in the security industry, they can go beyond them to tap opportunities in the third countries, set up regional hubs in potential markets like South East Asia, Middle East, Africa, Caribbean, South America and Australasia to cater to the security needs of those regions and grow. Joint Ventures, strategic alliances, industry academia partnership, transfer of technology, technological tie-ups, and associations with leading players in a particular country to gain foothold in that country and nearby markets will also accelerate the growth of security solutions providers.” The reforms implemented and needed According to Ashish P Dhakan, “The government must consider cutting the Import Duty on Security Systems and Surveillance. The current GST slab of 18% on CCTV should be reconsidered to decrease further to bolster security in Indian cities.” According to Aditya Khemka, “Possibly the most effective way to boosting the growth of the security industry in India is to educate and train. Be it distributors, partners, system integrators, or even end users, educating is by far the best way to generate awareness about the significance of security in the present times. While educating and

There is a growing requirement for video analytics embedded in surveillance systems. CCTV cameras now are not just meant to monitor the premises and store them for the future use. The feed can now be analysed in real time for the control room to have data on people and movement. In the past, video surveillance was synonymous with security applications, with technology opening the door to new business opportunities and markets

India’s thriving middle class population of should be empowered through tax reliefs so that it can safeguard itself by having disposable income to buy security devices. Reduction in corporate tax, higher personal income tax exemption will induce many to go in for security devices which hitherto remain out of their reach. Right now there is no standardization. Government should come out with proper guidelines for strict standards and the companies in the security business which fully adhere to the stipulated standards should be suitably encouraged and rewarded.

Three-way cooperation among Government- Industry – Academia is a must to ensure national security. City Surveillance projects should be earnestly implemented and no public area should be left uncovered. Last but not the least, in order to reduce crimes in the country, all vital places and buildings should have CCTV cameras installed.” Ajay Bhayani mentioned “One of the reforms brought in by MeitY- The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology was that Ministries are to spend 10% of the IT Budget on Cyber Security. Also the Cyber Swachhta Kendra for Botnet Cleaning and Malware Analysis under Digital India Initiative aim to create a secure cyber ecosystem in the country was brought in. RBI & SEBI have laid cyber security guides which will be complied by 2018.There is a need to reform and help create a cybersensitive culture in the country. There is a need to introduce education of cyber security at Universities. This will help Indian industries to be proactive rather than reactive against the cyber-attacks.”

training distributors and system integrators (by way of certifications and training programs) would ensure that the service quality is improved, educating users would ensure that they understand the necessity of security & surveillance. Furthermore, there needs to be policies and procedures to keep the unorganized sector in check so that the security solutions available in the market are credible and reliable.” Robbin Shen continued to state that,” The Indian Security Industry needs a lot of reforms. Some are implemented but there are others which need to be considered. Let me mention the important ones Our suggestions for reforms such as reduction of tax, simplification of tax structure, easy compliance, removal of cascading effects, transparency,abolition of multiple taxes, reduction in prices and ease of doing business have been met with the introduction of the GST. But other reforms should be given due consideration may be in the next Union Budget: • • •

Security industry must be given priority status. As Security Industry is a service industry, service tax should be reduced from 18 % to 5 % to make security devices more affordable. Innovation and R & D play an important role in the security industry. Therefore, to encourage them, tax holidays should be given to companies who spend on innovation a n d R & D.

According to Aditya Khemka,”The security industry is constantly evolving, and R&D is imperative to developing better products & services. Manufacturers, especially new players, require funds to undertake R&D. As such venture capital funding can be enabling in a major way. “

Flipchart, SnapDeal, PayTm, Zomato, Tracxn, Practo, InMobi, and Your Story to name a few have won laurels by judiciously combing their technological expertise with marketing savviness. They chose right kind of partners along the value chain to sustain and succeed. They took calculated risks in venturing into altogether different areas of business from their IT past. They figured out the market needs ahead and came out with what the customer wanted by introducing useful applications and creating job opportunities in that process. Their success stories attracted a lot of global investors.” NOVEMBER 2017

Ajay Bhayani says, “Businesses today are looking for holistic security solutions & services that defend their systems from both the external and internal threats. Indian cyber security startups have effectively assessed risk areas with respect to people, processes, policies and technology, and built the next generation cyber security shields using: Threat Intelligence Solutions, DDoS mitigation, Deception Technologies, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Documents Rights Management, Security through Blockchain etc.” Venture Capital helping security industry to innovate and grow to the next level

According to Robbin Shen, “Venture capital can play an important role in the development of security industry by funding a few deserving companies in their R&D and innovative initiatives. They can back up the ideas for useful applications and security solutions as the developers will be confident to go ahead and produce something essential and holistic without unnecessarily worrying about the wherewithal. Already venture capital funds are available for many fields and if more venture capitalists can come forward to support the security industry then you can see phenomenal development. In short, venture capital helps the developers in the security to confidently take more risks and come out with some thins groundbreaking. Venture capitalists also want to get involved in areas where there is a real change happening. That is why venture capitalists are gung ho about funding cyber security which is becoming hot in the market.”

The Indian security market moving from security in closed spaces to security and surveillance of public places especially with the Government focusing on development of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Smart Citiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; across India. Submitted by N. Shridhar, Hiranandani Communities

he Indian economy has shown remarkable resilience in the face of severe global financial crisis. In spite of global slowdowns, the growth of the economy has been quite decent and modest over the last couple of years. However, in order to maintain this robust economic growth, we need a secured environment, free from major risks such as occupational health hazards, social disharmony, public malfeasance, natural calamity etc. Indian security industry is today at an interesting juncture especially with the Government focusing on development of ‘Smart Cities’ across India. The proposed cities are to have infrastructure and buildings fitted with modern amenities aimed at making the place a ‘safer place to live in’. This promises an opportunist future for the Indian security industry with a lot of potential to tap the latent demand of the future security markets. The design and construction of secure and safe buildings continues to be the primary goal for developers, owners, architects, engineers, project managers, fire officers, product manufacturers and every other stakeholder associated with the building.

N Shridhar Director, Hiranandani Communities

The Indian security markets will experience significant growth in cost efficient, effective products and systems. This coupled with quality people operating the system will go a long way in augmenting the security and safety environment in the country

Risk assessment is the activity that estimates potential threats to the safety and security of the building infrastructure from fires, theft, earthquakes, tsunami and coastal floods, and other hazards. Realizing this goal is often a challenge due to cost factors, resistance from the occupants, environmental policies and non-availability of safety equipment. Understanding the impact that site security has on the overall security of the building is an important aspect of risk assessment. A balance between the security and safety goals and other design objectives can be attained through an integrated design process where all of the stakeholders understand each other's goals.

Regulations, codes, standards, and best practices will guide the design of buildings to resist natural hazards. For new buildings, code requirements serve to define the minimum mitigation requirements, but compliance with regulations in building design is not always sufficient to guarantee that a facility will perform adequately when impacted by the forces for which it was designed. Consider the case of recent fire at Jeevan Sudha building, a high-rise in Kolkata where three floors were gutted because the fire fighting system was defunct and there was no accessibility in the surrounding area to use a sky lift for controlling the fire in time, however it being a holiday any loss of life was averted. This is just one such example. Individual evaluation of the costs and benefits of specific hazard mitigation alternatives is essential as it can lead to effective strategies that will exceed the minimum requirements. Such individual evaluation would have been useful in the case of recent four-storey building collapse in Damodar Park in Mumbai in which 17 people were killed and 11 injured, where the reason of the collapse was found to be extensive renovations on the ground floor. Additionally, special mitigation requirements may be imposed on projects in response to locale-specific hazards. For instance in India construction and earthquake safety requirements of a building are based on where out of the five seismic zones in the country, the building is constructed. When a change in use or occupancy occurs, the designer must determine whether this change triggers other mitigation requirements and must understand how to evaluate alternatives for meeting those requirements. The Indian security market is in an interesting growth phase on the back of renewed interest on existing security and surveillance measures in the country mainly due to terror threats in recent times. Today the security is moving from closed spaces to security and surveillance of public places. So spending is foreseen on this industry both from the government and private sector. The sector has not only seen interest from domestic players, but also foreign companies looking to enter the market. The market is also evolving presently and one can witness various shifting trends. Areas like sensor based detection, biometrics, in line baggage scanners are expected to gain popularity and increased spending will happen in these areas in the coming years. Investments especially in video surveillance systems and other related security measures are expected to increase. Artificial Intelligence systems are being developed that will classify people based on more than a hundred characteristics including what a person is wearing, what they are carrying, how they are walking etc. The AI systems will be capable of following a person in a crowd to monitor suspicious behaviour. Such systems will have broad applications at airports, railway stations, malls, smart cities and integrated townships. A police robot capable of walking, recognising people, taking complaints as well as diffusing bombs is currently being developed by a Hyderabad based company. The Indian security markets will experience significant growth in cost efficient and effective products and systems. This coupled with quality people operating the system will go a long way in augmenting the security and safety environment in the country.

There are four fundamental principles for all building design: • Plan for Fire Protection • Protect Occupant Safety and Health • Natural Hazards Mitigation • Provide Security for Building Occupants

Industry trends reveal that the Indian Security Market is on an upward growth trajectory with many foreign players evincing interest having read the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;writing on the wallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Commander Subroto Mukherjee , Cipla Ltd.

rivate Security in India is poised for an exponential jump in importance, both as a revenue earner and as a necessity in everyday life. Today, close to 33% of India’s population lives ‘cheek by jowl’ in urban areas and this figure is expected to rise to 40.76% by 2030. Significantly, the overall crime rate in urban areas stands at nearly 2.5 times that of rural areas. Cybercrime rate in India has gone up 20 times over the past 10 years, ranking India third, only after the US and China and Economic Offences doubled between 2006 and 2015 as per NCRB data. The US State Dept. ranks India third after Iraq and Afghanistan in the highest number of terrorist incidences in 2016. The silver lining here is that though the number of incidences have gone up by 16%, the fatalities have decreased by 17%, indicating increased effectiveness of India’s security apparatus. In such a dynamic and fertile security scenario, the police forces are finding it difficult to keep pace with the multi-dimensional threat landscape due to lack of manpower, coupled with inadequate training and equipment. The widely prevalent threat perception levels have prompted a situation wherein Indians have to make do with one policeman for every 663 ordinary citizen, as compared to an average of 3 policemen for every one of the 20,828 VIPs across the country. With the pressures on police forces increasing dramatically due to low intensity asymmetric warfare by terrorist forces, increasingly, the soft-targets like Malls, Socio-religious gatherings, Leisure spots, Schools, Hospitals, Residential areas etc, all find themselves on the potential hotlist of terrorism. The unspoken understanding is that ‘self-help is the best help.’ Consequently, we have been witnessing a mushrooming of the private security sector in India. The Private Security Industry, can be broadly classified

Cdr. Subroto Mukherjee (Retd) Head, Administration & Facilities Management for Cipla Ltd

The need of the hour in the changing security scenario are professionals who are technically and legally knowledgeable, deployment ready to function jointly with police forces and international security specialists and physically and psychologically fit and background check cleared

into ‘Security Services’ segment and ‘Security Systems’ segment, with a net share aggregate of 75% and 25% respectively. However, given the spread patterns in Cybercrime, Economic Offences and Terrorism as compared to conventional criminal activities, it is only a matter of time before this ratio is reversed. According to the Grant Thornton Report – 2015, on Private Security Services in India, the Indian security sector was worth INR 40,000 crore in 2014, and is growing at the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20%. That is a huge sustained growth projection by any standards. Another significant development in the Indian security scenario that is slowly but surely driving the growth towards a more pervasive ‘Systems’ based private security apparatus, is the entry of MNCs into India in a big way. This has highlighted the gap between the sophisticated cyber based security protocols demanded by their internal security code and the ‘security services’ and ‘systems’ currently available in the private security sector in India. Deterrence has been the watch word for the private security sector in India, due to the lack of police powers and restrictions in carrying firearms. The cheapest and most visible source till date has been the ‘manned security’ sector, which today employs close to 80 Lakh personnel. Growing urbanization will further push up this workforce substantially, as the government increases its thrust towards ‘smart cities’ and development of Tier II & III cities. Public Private Partnership (PPP) is inevitably the way forward, as police forces seek to include Private Security Services as a viable economic option to share the burden of their load of ever increasing emergent requirements. On the flip side however, is the poor educational and training quality, high turnover rate and difficulties related to background checks of the workforce of the ‘security services’ segment. This is perhaps the most telling reason why, on the security front, organizations, both private and public, will increasingly put their faith in ‘systems’ rather than ‘people’. As any security professional will tell you, “Security is neither Cheap nor Convenient,” therefore, the inevitable shift will gather pace in tandem with the sophistication and cost of ownership of future security systems. Unobtrusive, predictive surveillance systems, networked with Access Controls and Quick Reaction Security Teams provided by niche security contractors, will rule the roost at the upper end of the private security spectrum. The aim here would be to provide effective, fool-proof, convenient and failsafe security, covering the entire security cycle of Observe – Detect – Analyze – Act (ODAA). These proactive systems will be essentially real-time, due to the embedding of self-learning Artificial Intelligence. At the entry level, due to India’s burgeoning population, the efficacy of ‘manned security’ will continue, albeit with increasing systems support in terms of forcemultipliers like remotely operated physical barriers; RFID operated access controls; biometrics for both, identification and access control; movement monitoring and alerting sensors; walk-through body scanners etc. All these will be designed for high-speed activation, compressing time taken from Incident to Effective Reaction. These systems will be more reactive in nature due to their target environment and cost of deployment and ownership. Specialist Security Training is poised to become another major spin-off from the Security Sector. India lacks recognized world class private security training institutions that provide effective modern training to personnel, which are in tune with Indian Law Enforcement Regulations. The need of the hour in the changing security scenario are professionals who are technically and legally knowledgeable, deployment ready to function jointly with police forces and international security specialists and physically and psychologically fit and background check cleared. Industry trends reveal that the Indian Security Market is on an upward growth trajectory with many foreign players evincing interest having read the ‘writing on the wall’. The government is encouraging the sector due to the entry level, mass job market potential that it promises. Law Enforcement agencies look forward to partnership with private security agencies offering quality services. The industry is well on its way to becoming a major source of revenue to the exchequer by way of taxes. The unstable security environment in India’s neighborhood is the undoubted catalyst for the growth of the security market that points towards an exciting and buoyant future, limited only by lack of initiative or foresight.

Growth in security industry will not only have to be balanced, well-managed and inclusive, but also responsive to the evolution dynamics Submitted by manish kachhy, head of business security & loss prevention, reliance jio infocom ltd.

Introduction: Security has become the buzz word in today’s world, be it for the governments, businesses, citizens or general environment. There are multiple factors, often intertwined, which contribute to this phenomenon. World over the dynamics of governance, of doing business, and of the politico-economic-socioreligious set up is seeing a churn like never before. The world has moved from being a comity of individual nations, to being a “global village” to being islands of inward looking nationhood and segregated beliefs, a la BREXIT, Catalonia, et al. World over, the security paradigm has been changing and constantly evolving with newer and more sophisticated threat perceptions, new vectors and more complex risk scenarios. India has its own set of peculiarities in this regard. Per se, the country is on a cusp of unprecedented and sustained growth trajectory; business activity is not only picking up, but continuously evolving, diversifying and integrating across verticals.

NOVEMBER 2017

The Indian Landscape: Government of India has just about set the stage right for a strong, sustained upward move of economy in the short to middle term; and with it, the entire domestic business activity is expected to see an upward swing. Add to this, the evolving threat dynamics and the growing ‘felt need’ for assurance of a safe, secure environment among individual businesses and the society at large; the security industry has a crucial contribution to make. Not just will it have to gear up to the high demand, but also stay ahead on the curve. Growth in security industry will not only have to be balanced, wellmanaged and inclusive, but also responsive to the evolution dynamics. It would be expected to shift from being largely unorganized and ad-hoc, to a more professional, well regulated and compliance oriented. Industry reforms have begun, but a lot more distance needs to be covered.

www.asindia.in

In the recent years, specifically the last decade, numerous studies and sample-based research work have been undertaken on the security industry in India to gauge the size, spread, diversity and dynamics; to evaluate the potential it holds for stakeholders, especially the private security players; and the likely challenges in the years ahead. For example, the private security industry in India, which started

in 1960s with a handful of players and hardly any investment worth a mention, is today a Rs. 40,000 crore+ industry, with just about 35% market share for the organized sector, and a whopping 65% still in the unorganized format. The industry’s most notable growth has been in the past decade, with a Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23 to 25 %; some more aggressive estimates suggest a YoY growth rate of 40 % in more recent years. Approximately 15000 companies/security agencies are operating across the length and breadth of the country. As compared to the demand for strong police force being roughly 8 mn, only 3.2 million police personnel are in service, with over 5 mn (and growing) gap left for private security service providers to fill. Add to this the perceived changes and qualitative shift in the modern day security needs for the government, businesses and society - the future is indeed bright, and the bottom of the jar probably fathomless. Peculiarities that Make Indian Landscape Ideal for Business Opportunity & Growth:1. Internal Security Situation and Business Continuity Imperatives. India has been a victim of some or the other form of internal disturbance ever since it is Independence. In the recent years, naxalism, religious intolerance and social activism have added a new dimension to the internal security environment. Add to it the virtual dimension, the cybercrime and online frauds, and completely new security paradigm is under evolution. 2. Qualitative Shift. In India, the bulk segment of security services industry is ‘Manned Guarding’, with nearly 75% share, with Cash Services and Electronic Security Services making up for most of the rest. So

long as India has a vast surplus of employable/up skill-able manpower supply, the growing demand for manned guarding will always find a matching supply as well. However, the qualitative benchmark for manned guarding is constantly getting raised - the need has changed from a simple, static security watchman to a multi-function, multi-talented, skilled security professional, who can not only co-opt security technology tools, but also undertake investigations and audits. This is where the gap in demand and supply is fast widening - while the client expectations get constantly tweaked upwards, the available supply side surplus continues to languish qualitatively. There are various constraining factors on one hand, and competitive, wafer thin operating margins on the other. 3. Regulatory Reforms. The need is for a holistic and reformative regulatory intervention, stricter compliance norms and phased implementation thereof, to not only cover wide range of security services under a common minimum protocol, but also deter qualitative compromise caused by competitive undercutting between the organised (compliant) and unorganised (non-compliant) players. Once done, expect a steady, sustained, long term growth in the domestic security industry. 4. Entrepreneurial Push. Corruption and bureaucratic hurdles often encountered by smaller, lesser influential entities in obtaining government licences, certifications, etc. are factors which have largely served as deterrence to several skilled security professionals from turning into entrepreneurs. There is a vast pool of untapped talent at entrepreneurial and managerial levels for driving growth and penetration in the security industry, but it largely prefers to remain aloof - often discouraged by the bureaucratic and ethical hurdles. A reformatory and reconciliatory approach should provide the right stimulus. 5. Structural & Macro Economic Reforms. Given India’s overall economic growth potential and the vast, untapped market, security service industry is expected to be among the biggest beneficiaries of the government’s ongoing structural and macro-economic reforms. Ease of doing business is the present day government’s stated priority and an important area of focus. It should eventually enable a steady rise in entrepreneurism and all-round stimulus to business activity. Since security tends to touch practically every form of business activity, especially in its growth stage, the unstated is obvious. The Way Ahead In recent years, ‘Security and Loss Prevention’ has evolved as an integrated function. It not only caters to the standard physical and information security requirements, but also provides for safety & security audits and a bunch of business continuity essentials. The provider of security solutions also offers to undertake aforesaid audit checks, and provides end-to-end crisis detection & response mechanism. The potential for growth of this integrated function in Indian context is vast; having already caught the imagination of a niche few industry leaders.

Forensic investigations, cybercrime detection and mitigation, Intelligence and counterintelligence, integrated information security and analytics are some of the sunrise segments in security industry. Several new players have mushroomed in these niche fields to provide smart security solutions, and create force multipliers or game changers for their clients. However, these are largely unorganized and unregulated islands of excellence. In a relatively infant stage, these promise to offer a huge investment and research opportunity; these are also tipped to become formidable segments of security industry going forward.

India as a country has seen a lot of technology developments in the last decade. The Indian government has launched various initiatives to turn the country into a fast paced digital economy, right from UPI, BHIM- Mobile App developed by National Payments Corporation of India, based on the Unified Payment Interface, BBPS- Bharat Bill Payment System from NPCI- National Payments Corporation of India to Digital Locker from GoI to Aadhaar from UIDAI, thus spurring the use of technology systems and digital payments across the country to fuel economic growth. This however brings along its own set of challenges, that of cyber security with the increase in digital storage and online transactions thus making India a big target for hackers. Technology has advanced significantly in past decade with the launch of virtual currency, Cloud Techonologies, Internet of Things (IoT), Smart Cities, etc. thus increasing the possibilities of cybercrimes. Likewise, cyber threats have evolved from known viruses and worm attacks which were more of a nuisance to users

and organizations to ransom-ware, distributed denial of service (DDoS), zero-day and advanced persistent threat (APT) attacks which add to the ever growing concerns for cyber security landscape. The Dark Web offers for sale various weapons, drugs, and exploits, etc. It is known fact how hackers can remotely hack a car and paralyze it on the highway. Imagine the possibilities where technology created to benefit mankind can be exploited for all the wrong reasons to harm them. One of the biggest cyber-attacks observed in India was in 2016 where as many as 32 lakh debit cards belonging to various Indian banks were compromised resulting in the loss of Rs. 1.3 crore in fraudulent transactions as per news headlines. Recently even India was not spared by WannaCry and Petya ransom-ware attacks considering even today a majority of the desktops, laptops and ATMs in the country still run on Microsoft Windows XP, support for which was ended by Microsoft in 2014. To tackle such cyber threats, as a nation, some significant changes are needed in country cyber security policies and regulations. The National Cyber Security Policy 2013 is in need of an immediate review considering these dynamic threat scenarios and must be approved by the Parliament. A National Body or Structure on Cyber Security should be formed focusing on public-private partnership

model to create a trust based relationship for secure operating in the cyber world. Today, there are only few sectors such as BFSI and Telecom which are considering cyber security threats and enforcing guidelines and mandates for organisations operating in these sectors to acknowledge the risks and put in adequate measures to mitigate the risks to

an acceptable level. However, at a country level, India needs to have cyber intelligence and data analytics centers which collect attack and indicators of compromise (IoC) data from organizations across multiple sectors, correlate the big data to analyze patterns for sectorial and country wide threats for timely incident response, remediation and recovery. Another very important challenge is poor awareness and education about cyber security threats and the need to follow best practices, across different levels â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ranging from school children to uneducated sector to elderly people who find it very difficult to understand the importance of data privacy and online security thus making them easy targets for social engineering & phishing attacks, spurious scam email communications, etc. Many such cyber threats can be easily mitigated if individuals are aware and vigilant.

With regard to the present situation in India, commendable technology and digitization advances have taken place. However, security still requires. Unfortunately, this development has also led to the near-simultaneous growth of the cyber attacks. India as a country needs to create a partnership model with public and private corporations to make our Indian cyber-space more robust and resilient to cyber attacks.

GROWING DRIVE FOR DIGITISATION PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES FOR THE SECURITY INDUSTRY

www.asindia.in

Geostrategic location of India has always posed complex security challenges for India, with external factors having a direct bearing on internal security complexities for the country. It has been rightly stated that these are the factors that can’t be resolved as a country’s neighbours cannot be! Submitted by Col. Naresh Jethwani, Associate Director- Risk Consulting-KPMG

These situations have a rippling effect on the security situation in other regions in many ways. In the country bursting with a population of 1.3 billion, ramifications are obvious. Lack of development leads to lack of opportunities leading to increase in unemployment and poverty further boosting up the crime rate.

Col. Naresh Jethwani Associate Director- Risk Consulting-KPMG

As Indian companies transform to process oriented operations and customer friendly interface, the manpower intrinsic security system has to start depending more on technology and bring in the best established global practices with due financial support. With the promising economy, huge vibrant market and young population India holds, the security industry in India could well be a trendsetter if structured growth of the industry is ensured

eostrategic location of India has always posed complex security challenges for India, with external factors having a direct bearing on internal security complexities for the country. It has been rightly stated that these are the factors that can’t be resolved as a country’s neighbours cannot be! The world has realized how Indians have long been victims of terrorism. The direct impact has been crippling of states like J&K inspite of best efforts by security forces. There has been a similar story in the North-East part of our country where in the insurgency has long been supported by external and internal inimical forces. Needless to say that such security scenario could provide no industrial and economic growth in the affected states. In the recent past the influx of illegal immigrants has only added to the complexities in the area. The challenge therefore remains for the Government to provide a secure environment for a total growth under such circumstances.

On the other hand, India’s overall growth story has been rather impressive. The economy has been largely on an upswing. The foreign investments in India have been on an increase considering the lucrative market, availability of skilled and unskilled labour and promising domestic growth visualized. The country is on the path of transformation with financial reforms, measures to curb corruption, development projects like smart cities, up-gradation of airports and enhanced social security. Considering the given scenario the responsibility and market for the security system grows manifold. The momentum of initiatives launched to curb corruption and build on the social security is likely to continue and therefore promises a huge potential for global security industry. The growing drive for digitization provides both opportunities and challenges for the industry. As per the Pinkerton Risk survey report 2017 the top 3 risks to the business are Information and Cyber insecurity, Insurgency and Terrorism and Corruption and Corporate frauds. According to the report, ‘Information & Cyber Insecurity’ in India, has become more pronounced due to the shift that the nation is undergoing towards digitisation of various assets; and the ever-present loopholes that hackers breach upon. The recent demonetisation saw a spike in the number of people resorting to online platforms for financial transactions. This poses greater risks for users, including businesses, while engaging in e-commerce. There has also been an increase in subscribers to the Unique Identification Number (UIN) in which personal information is stored as data. The proposals for linking the UIN to banking details are therefore rightly being debated. The need for security industry to reform to cater for new challenges has long been talked and is now becoming critical. Industry needs to gear up as risk mitigation agency providing a holistic solution to the organisations. The overall risk coverage could look into physical protection of assets and employees, business continuity, crisis response/management, cyber security, information and data protection, internal investigations, countering fraud and money laundering, counter espionage, brand protection, anticounterfeiting/piracy and sexual harassment. Integration of efforts to mitigate these risks, in addition to providing much needed cost cutting would also provide more effective coverage. One important dimension that has been lacking in the corporate security is an inherent vigilance/intelligence system which would be a force multiplier in providing inputs to centrally mitigate these risks. Another aspect that continuously needs to be developed in India is adoption of latest technology on regular basis. The present day fraudster in India is young, tech-savvy and largely well placed in an organisation. The security apparatus has to match up. The start-up companies in India have been shining and drawing global attention and investment. Hope is to see more and more investment in Indian companies more so as India is also galvanizing its position in ease of doing business. As Indian companies transform to process oriented operations and customer friendly interface, the manpower intrinsic security system has to start depending more on technology and bring in the best established global practices with due financial support. With the promising economy, huge vibrant market and young population India holds, the security industry in India could well be a trendsetter if structured growth of the industry is ensured.

VISITOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – A TRANSFORMATION The visitor management system is one such process undergoing transformation not just in India but globally. System integrators across the globe are striving to evolve the security management paradigms and practices moving towards being least intrusive Submitted by Capt. sanjeev mishra, vice president - global corporate security, reliance industries ltd.

he famous adage that you don’t get a second chance to make first impression is becoming increasingly critical in the context of visitor management in the current cut-throat competitive business environment. To gain competitive advantage, corporates are investing heavily on the meet and greet services at their facility to create a superlative lasting first impression in the minds of visitors as part of their business strategy. The number of visitors and their type might vary but the requirement of a friendly, efficient, accurate and effective Visitor Management System (VMS) is a non-negotiable today. Most companies have moved away from the pen-paper systems to various versions of electronic visitor management systems.

JULY 2017 2017www.asindia.in NOVEMBER www.asindia.in

Whatever system an organisation adopts, at the bare-bone level, there are three major constituents or touch-points of the Visitor Management process as depicted here. But, there are various stakeholders to this process. And, these key stakeholders have varying priorities vis-à-vis the visitor management process as can be seen in the table below. For example, at one end, the organization, the host and the visitor demand a friendly and quick process. And at the other end, the Chief Security Officer (CSO), demands optimum security by fool proof authentication of the visitor. CSO will also want to analyze the data for reporting, process improvement and investigations. Striking right balance between the

level of security and user’s experience has been the prime challenge. The balancing of these priorities (conflicting at times) is core to any design improvement in the VMS process. A standard VMS process can be depicted as in the illustration here. More and more organizations today invest in world class infrastructure for the visitor reception, have well-groomed and trained reception staff, software based VMS systems and physical barriers (turnstiles, access

In addition to these improvements, the CSO is also going the extra mile by providing site navigation facility for large campuses through mobile apps and in some cases Virtual Reality walk-throughs. Globally and more so in India, work places are being designed to be OPEN, CREATIVE and INNOVATIVE. The thrust is on creating an environment providing for vibrant exchange of ideas without restraint. Keeping in step with this philosophy, the security management paradigms are evolving and security practices moving towards being least intrusive. The visitor management system is one such process undergoing transformation. Security being the FIRST TOUCH POINT for a business visitor, the improvements in the Visitor Management Process definitely enhances the organisational brand across the entire business ecosystem.

Most VMS systems today, meet the software based requirements of pre-registration, pass making and data analysis. The two major areas where the CSOs are working to improve the experience of a visitor are: ď Ž Identity verification: From a visual check of identity to phone number based authentication (by PIN generation) and now to Aadhaar based biometric identification, the CSO wishes to move to a faster and far more accurate system of identity verification of the visitor. ď Ž Making the visitor self-reliant: App based self-registration, pass vending machines in the visitor lounge, touch-less entry to the facilities (mobile technology) are some of the features being explored and implemented by a few companies.

INDONESIA. Submitted by hikvision The offerings included their best-in-class solutions like COSEC CENTRA, a server or site o protect its assets and infrastructure, Orange Group, one of the leading telecommunications companies in Cameroon, has specified and deployed iVMS software, NVRs, decoders and IP cameras from Hikvision, the world’s leading supplier of innovative video surveillance products and solutions.

NOVEMBER 2017

Consolidating its leading position in the 23 million population central African country, Orange Cameroon is progressively substituting voice and SMS applications by data communications and value-added services, expanding its 3G and 4G coverage, and upgrading its access network. This move is set to greatly enhance Orange’s network capabilities for new applications and the development of high and very high-speed broadband. Furthermore, Orange Cameroon leads the way in providing mobile payments, thanks to numerous innovations in its Orange Money service, including the Orange Money Visa card.

www.asindia.in

Project background Wanting to provide an effective solution to the frequent problem of theft of stock at many Orange sites, and the requirement to help better manage remote access to some key sensitive areas, along with confirming the locations and status of its employees, Orange Cameroon enlisted the help of Servitel. Based in Douala

72 72

(the seaport and economic hub of Cameroon), Servitel is a leading specialist systems integrator. To address the issues raised by Orange Cameroon, Servitel, who are adept in the supply of integrated security equipment, communications and network management solutions, worked with the head of security for Orange, to deliver an effective solution that would provide an answer to the security and management issues being faced. Using information derived from a study of the initial proposed eleven Orange sites by the Orange Group security team, and utilising staff feedback, after much consideration, the first phase of the new surveillance system specification was developed and approved. The eleven Orange locations to be covered by the networked solution would include the company’s HQ in Douala, its technical HQ, commercial HQ, and Orange retail and technical sites in 10 cities throughout Cameroon. At the majority of locations covered by the new surveillance system, a mix of entrances and exits, fence line perimeters, tops of buildings, and internal areas were all chosen to be monitored.

Dome, and DS-2DF8236IV-AEL 2MP Ultra WDR Smart PTZ network cameras. At each remote site, the Hikvision cameras are integrated with the access control system, to allow remote verification of entry and access doors, with some access points used to trigger camera snapshots of users. Local remote site continuous recording is facilitated by Hikvision DS-9600NI-H8 Series NVRs, with built-in network protocol for connectivity with Hikvision and other leading camera manufacturer IP products. Local recording plays an essential role within the multi-site system, primarily because the data connection between the remote sites and the control room can sometimes be lost for relatively long periods, interrupting live monitoring. But with highcapacity local storage, events and local recordings are maintained safely, and available for retrieval when the connection with the control room is resumed. The mix of internal and external IP cameras specified was installed across three phases, and devised to address the varying range of surveillance scene conditions encountered across each of the eleven Orange sites. The mix of technology specified directly addressed issues such as bright-backlit scene lighting, total darkness and the need for wide-area coverage. Comprehensive control At the central control room in Douala, supporting 24/7 live monitoring and reporting of incidents to the Orange security department, Hikvision DS-96128NI-E24/H Embedded NVRs were specified to provide up to 8 Megapixel resolution recording and playback of the multi-site networked surveillance system. Hikvision’s Blazer Pro (256-channel) all-in-one server was also deployed to provide a comprehensive and powerful surveillance video management solution, along with Hikvision DS-6408HDI-T Series decoders, used to provide video stream decoding for a highresolution 20 x 32” monitor screen video wall. Networked multi-site surveillance Linking the multi-site networked surveillance system internally via Cat6a cable and microwave video transmission to the central control room located at Orange’s HQ, a mix of over 300 Hikvision HD cameras were installed by Servitel. “Even for a highly experienced Mobile Telecom Provider, building a remote IP CCTV network to link to a remote central Control Room is a real challenge in Africa, as there is no existing interurban optical fibre network to utilise,” explained Gregory Ancelin, Director at Servitel. “So for this multi-site system, we installed microwave links. We then needed to consider how we would maximise the limited broadband bandwidth available, this is where the Hikvision solution really came in to its own. The Hikvision cameras’ use of the very efficient H.264+ encoding technology enabled the transmission of 1080P HD quality images, but using only half the bandwidth of cameras using standard H.264. The efficient H.264+ algorithm also reduced the amount and cost of storage hardware needed by requiring only half as much disk storage space, and the cameras themselves are very competitively priced considering their high-spec and high quality.” Providing the comprehensive high-quality video surveillance coverage and facilities management Orange required, the mix of Hikvision camera models installed included, DS-2CD4212F-IS 1.3MP Low-light IR Bullet, DS-2CD2722FWD 2MP WDR Vari-focal

Utilising the powerful Hikvision surveillance capability, if and when an event occurs, depending on its severity, control room operators notify the Orange security department with the precise nature and level of the event taking place, furnishing them with detailed information and enabling them to take the appropriate course of action. Post event investigation is also catered for by the system, where search and playback of specific events enables control room operators to provide the Orange security team with snapshots or video footage whenever requested. System benefits Since the system went live, it has contributed a positive impact on the business, with a number of acknowledged security benefits across the Orange estate. Looking to the future, the Hikvision based scheme has been deemed a great success, and as such, a complimentary phase two installation has been specified and works begun to extend the coverage to further Orange sites across Cameroon.

Company Profile: Coca-Cola history began in 1886 and since then it emerged as one of the most valued brands with a net worth $74 billion. The company owns and markets more than 500 beverage brands across 200+ countries. Over the last 23 years, ever since its reentry in 1993 in India, the company has gone on to establish an unmatched portfolio of beverages. The company along with its bottling partners, through a strong network of over 2.6 million retail outlets, touches the lives of millions of consumers. Challenges: Coca-Cola has established its manufacturing unit in Kudus and Pirangut, Maharashtra, India and was looking for biometric solutions to secure their premises. Coca-Cola required individual servers at both locations. Their prime requirement was to restrict unauthorized user entry into secured area. Moreover, they require user punch i.e. events for both the locations separately. Both locations didn’t have many power supply ports. Providing separate power to door lock, biometric device and exit switch was a concern. Coca-Cola was in search of a solution where the basic requirements of user events as well as power issue to devices were solved easily. Solution Offered: In order to overcome the challenge Matrix offered individual software platforms which act as servers for both the locations. In order to resolve power supply port challenge, Matrix offered its premium range of biometric device which itself offers power to door lock and exit switch. Thus, Matrix biometric solution helped in solving both the challenges faced by Coca-Cola. Solution Diagram:

ow the introduction of GST has been impacting the growth prospects of Security Industry in

NOVEMBER 2017

India? The introduction of GST will lead to ease of doing business owing to the big saving in logistics costs. And, most likely, manufacturers will be able to pass on some of these benefits to their customers. With GST in play, manufacturers will no longer need to invest heavily in setting up and maintaining separate warehouses in different locations, and can maintain inventory through consolidating their warehouses.

www.asindia.in

What are the best options for Taxation & Import Duties? With GST in play there will be less complexities when importing and taxing security products in India as the earlier set of taxes such as CST, Entry Tax, Octroi, etc.

will no longer be in play. This will not only help reduce the price of security products but will also involve lesser compliant and regulatory issues. Overall, it will help create a business-friendly environment in India. How implications of GST can bolster the growth of Security Industry in India? With a common, standard tax in play now, manufactures will now be able to save on logistics and inventory management. This will in turn help lower the prices of security products thereby them affordable and accessible. And considering how important and indispensible security has become lately, and the growing rate of adoption of the same, this new taxation regime will surely bolster growth of the security industry in India

hat are the key demands on Security Industry on Implication of GST? The GST (Goods and Service Tax) being a new indirect tax reform has brought a complete revolution in the Indian economy. It will have a great impact on the Gross Domestic product (GDP) of our country. Under GST, India has become a common marketplace by embracing the “One Nation, One Market, One Tax” regime. The biggest boon of GST regime is that it has reduced operational cost. This has further led to reduction in logistics & operational cost of products and services. The current government has set the ball rolling by implementing path breaking reforms like GST and Demonetization. After initial teething troubles both of these reforms were accepted by the market. There are some corrections (GST Rate & Compliance Adjustments), which are underway as per the market feedback. How the introduction of GST has been impacting the growth prospects of Security Industry in India? To get rid of the cascading effect of taxation which prevailed in the pre-GST era economy, GST has changed the present system of taxation with the introduction of the

concept of taxability based on destination. Under the GST regime with the introduction of free flow of Input Tax Credit all registered person under GST and his customer should be in a position to claim INPUT credit of GST on most of its Business procurement. This will provide an opportunity for all businesses to take benefit of the tax efficiency and recoup additional profits on the supply. Needless to mention and with due respect to Transitional Provisions of GST, Input Credit on Stock on Hand is also a very good measure to safeguard the Tax Loss suffered with the introduction of GST. The GST impact on the electronic security industry has given a boost to the demand across the nation. States like Maharashtra and cities including Mumbai will, however, see a decline as the Octroi, Local Body Tax is subsumed after the GST. The prices of electronic security systems are lowered due to the factors of simplified tax structure, transitional credit and removal of the cascading effects of the taxes. What are the best options for Taxation & Import Duties? The best options for taxation and import duties are often discussed by industry bodies and associations. To be modest, a 5% GST slab coupled with reasonable import

duty can be expected from the Finance Minister for the speedy growth of the security industry. How implications of GST can bolster the growth of Security Industry in India? Goods and service tax is proving to be very beneficial for the entire nation as a whole, be it a manufacturer, importer, or Exporter. Furthermore, The Make in India campaign also got good boost with the liberal custom duty structure on Import of Raw Material and compotents of security & surveillance Products. With the introduction of GST, the ultimate cost of warehouses and logistics are now reduced and the benefit of such operational cost reduction are passed on by manufacturers to the ultimate consumers. This cost reduction will further boost the growth in terms of sales as well as development of new market opportunity for the Industry at large.

GST WILL SPUR

DEMAND IN THE SECURITY MARKET The GST will spur growth and accelerate the pace of development in India. It will benefit all the stakeholders’ right from the manufacturer or producer, Central and State Governments, industry to the end consumer. Submitted by Dahua Technology India Pvt. Ltd.

he key demands on Security Industry on Implication of GST: The security industry’s key demands such as reduction of tax, simplification of tax structure, easy compliance, removal of cascading effects, transparency and ease of doing business have been met with the advent of GST. These will have positive implications in pushing the demand for security products and solutions in India. The introduction of GST impacting the growth prospects of Security Industry in India: The GST bodes well for the security business as devices which were having 28 % tax have been reduced to 18%. This reduction in tax rate concomitantly brings down the prices of security devices. So, more people will now be able to go in for security solutions. Consequently, the security industry will grow and the crime rate in the country will come down. Dahua welcomes the GST introduction. NOVEMBER 2017

The best options for Taxation & Import Duties: India has many incentives under the following categories: Location based, Industry specific, Export linked, Activity based, R&D Specific and many more. There are more incentives for SEZ Units- Investment Allowance, Skill Development and Tax Holidays being the best option to avail these. Also under the recently introduced Goods & Services

Taxes or GST companies can avail input tax credit for most business expenses. India’s Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology gives various incentive schemes. The scheme is available for both new projects and expansion projects. The scheme provides capital subsidy of 20% in SEZ (25% in non-SEZ) for units engaged in electronics manufacturing. It also provides for reimbursements of CVD/ excise for capital equipment for the non-SEZ units. For some of the high capital investment projects, it provides reimbursement of Central Taxes and Duties. The incentives are available for 29 electronic verticals. Units all across the manufacturing value chain are covered under the scheme. For each of the product category, an investment threshold is prescribed which an applicant has to incur for getting eligible for incentives. The investment threshold varies from Rs 1 crore to Rs 5000 crores depending upon a type of project. The incentives are available for 10 years from the date of approval. Implications of GST can bolster the growth of Security Industry in India: There are many benefits businesses can derive from the introduction of GST in India. The key benefits include Single Common Market across India, Transparency, Traceability, Removal of Cascading Effects, Abolition of Multiple Taxes, Reduction in tax burden, Easy Tax Filing, Reduction in Prices, Reduction in Inflation, Easy Compliance,

he 21 Century has witness a paradigm shift in the advancement of technologies in almost all the industries. And in the warfare, technology is changing not just how we engage with our enemies but also the fronts on which we will engage them. It’s also potentially promising to help bring about world peace.

attacking hostile targets. Drones can spot submarines and mines, and even deliver humanitarian aid to places where aid convoys cannot go. They are smaller, stealthier, and safer for the troops employing them. The possibility that the drone could be spotted from the ground is slimmer, and when it is, the pilot is safely back at base, operating the vehicle from a computer station.

Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles Drones and AI are a lethal combination in the future warfare. Autonomous stealth drones such as the Taranis produced by BAE Systems change the way traditional wars are fought. The Taranis can fly to a preselected area on a programmed flight path, identify a threat, target that threat, and alert a human operator that it has identified a target. The human operator reviews the information, approves the attack and the drone fires a missile and destroys the target before flying itself back home.

Of course, not everyone is thrilled with the idea of autonomous machines capable of killing and destroying. More than 17,000 researchers and many global thought leaders have signed an open letter to the United Nations calling for the body to ban the creation of autonomous and semi-autonomous weapons, including Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, physicist Stephen Hawking, and Google’s director of research Peter Norvig.

As we have all witnessed in the last two decades, Drones are already in wide military use conducting surveillance and even

The main problem these scientists see with autonomous weapons is that it’s often unclear where and how human oversight will be included in the process, and what rules will govern the autonomous weapon’s program. A human operator might consider the proximity of a school

Big Data Management Let’s see the positive side of it. While this all sounds vaguely apocalyptic and terrifying, there’s also a bright side to all this data and technology. Organisations including the U.S. Defense Department, the United Nations, Russian Defence, Chinese Intelligence Agencies and many other global defenses including India have all launched big data initiatives in the past few years, the goals of which are to predict and anticipate “political crises, disease outbreaks, economic instability, resource shortages, and natural disasters." The programs use the vast quantities of unstructured data from media reports, blog posts, social media posts, and more to try to anticipate events, plan interventions, and assess what worked and what didn’t. Using this data to prevent problems and promote peace may still be a long way off, but because these are learning algorithms, every bit of data they receive and every prediction they make brings them closer to their goals. Just as the CDC and Google are hoping to predict the spread of flu season via analysis of unstructured social data, so these agencies are hoping to predict — and prevent — the spread of unrest and violence. It seems a noble and worthy goal, trying to use the technologies to predict the way to peace rather than fight more terrible wars.

or hospital before targeting, or take Geneva conventions into account before approving a target. A computer might not. The NextGen Technology Apart from the ethical challenges surrounding weapons equipped with AI, big data and technology will challenge what we perceive as “war.” Future wars may not be fought on physical battlefields, but digital ones. One of the greatest fears of our governments is the scenario in which a regime, terrorist group or in fact anyone targets the networks themselves. As more and more systems and infrastructure are built to be “smart” and include Internet of Things connectivity, the more we are putting those systems and infrastructure at risk. Imagine the chaos that would be caused by disrupting or disabling wireless communications or internet connectivity. Now imagine that it also disrupts your electricity, your water, the traffic lights, the emergency services — because all of those systems rely on data and networks. The scenario quickly becomes a nightmare. We’ve already seen examples of governments hacking other governments, like the allegations that a foreign government was behind a massive data security breach of the Democratic Party earlier this year. And security analysts say that our governments are woefully ill equipped to meet sophisticated hackers on this battlefield. It’s not hard to imagine that wars in the future could be won by hackers and that the soldiers or fighter pilots of today will be data scientists and autonomous machine learning algorithms tomorrow.

t has been said that “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it”. All security managers would agree that it is nearly impossible to illustrate the value of their function to the organisation without well designed metrics. Questions that senior leadership should keeping nagging their corporate security managers with:

www.asindia.in

1. Are we spending too much on security? 2. Can you demonstrate the return on investment? 3. Has our security improved in the past year? 4. How is our security compared to peers?

All these questions require objective answers which are difficult to come by in most of the organisations. An industrywide survey results depicts that only 30% of the participating organisations collects security metrics regularly. This means that around 70% security managers “assumes” that their function is adding lots of value to the organisation because they have no objective way to “measure” it.

to profit centers. Security mea¬surement is difficult because security operations are multidimensional addressing both defensive and offensive postures. Security is com¬posed of several attributes that, in combination, tell us not only about deter, delay and detect an attack but also about response to an attack and the speed of return to “business as usual” state. Combining the measurements of these innumerable systems into a single representation of overall system security is a big challenge. Another challenge is to quantify the preventive value of security functions in absolute terms. Usages Objective measurement of security efforts in an organisation can be leveraged to enhance decision-making, increase visibility, perform benchmark comparisons and demonstrate the value of security department. This measurement can also be used to increase accountability, diagnose problems, enhance awareness, demonstrate compliance, guide resource allocation and demonstrate the return on investment of the security outlay. These metrics are best use to communicate performance, drive performance improvements and persuade senior leadership.

in designing “perfect” security matrices. As we know, “Security” is a collection of multidimensional attributes. We should develop and use different metrics for different purposes, audiences, and goals rather than developing one single security metric. You can measure following areas in your security program: 1. Activity – Gather data of all the activities to depicting work volume/load like personnel & vehicle movement, material movement, visitor control, badges/entry permit printed, patrolling, security control room activities (alarm processing, call handling, dispatches, incidents), Investigations (open & closed), % theft/frauds cases resolved,recovery of stolen goods, operation & maintenance of security equipments/ systems (preventive maintenance tasks), annual maintenance contract renewals, security incidents & trend, loss prevention, traffic accidents, safety violations, etc. 2. Efficiency – Attributes affecting efficiency of security program like budget compliance (plan Vs actual expense), staff turnover, manpower deficiency, manpower optimization, training man hours, skills & capacity building, security equipments & systems uptime, technology driven projects, etc. 3. Quality – What makes security stand out in the organisation like security education (security awareness programs, security orientation workshops, campaigns, online training etc.), security staff absenteeism & overtime, discipline cases, emergency response time, cycle time in material movement, speed of processing visitor passes/entry permits, surprise checks, night rounds, penetration test results (red hat audits), Mock drills & exercises conducted, Security risk assessments recommendations, security audits observations, security reviews outcomes, etc. 4. Customer Satisfaction – Conduct an annual survey to get the pulse of customers. Ask questions on emergency handling, night escorting service, visitor handling, complaint/query resolution, behaviour of security staff, security concerns, level of security etc. 5. Compliance status – Statuary compliances (Provident fund, Employee state insurance corporation, Factory act, PSARA, Factory act, Radio set licenses etc.), Company polices, etc. Security is a risk function and we must fully integrate security matrices with enterprise risk management. If we want to win the game on corporate turf, we must align security matrices with the organisational objectives or risk or measure the specific issue management is most interested in. We should present matrices data regularly and tell visually compelling stories to logically pursue the senior leadership and maximise their mind share. Conclusion A well-crafted security metrics program can have positive impact on the performance of the organisation. It objectively demonstrates the increased maturity of the security program and assures top management of its success.
