Be GST Ready to Stay Ahead The Goods and Service Tax (GST) got implemented from 1st July with lot of fanfare. It has put most of the security and fire safety products between 12% to 28% GST slab. This decision has come as a rude shock to the industry stalwarts, stakeholders and end-users. Now it is critical for the industry to understand the broad contours and framework of the proposed GST law. The likely impact of the new levy on the business needs to be assessed carefully. One must take appropriate steps to implement necessary changes in business processes. It is important to assess financial impact on your business due to GST. Be it a manufacturer, trader (Dealer –Distributor), system integrators, one must frame pricing strategy. Everyone needs to align internal organization and IT systems. The most critical aspect is to be prepared to face the changes and be GST ready. We are sharing an insightful article on GST’s impact on Security and Fire Safety industry. The fall of ISIL has come as good news as Iraqi Army with coalition forces have got the control of Mosul city. Let’s hope for a new era of peace in Iraq and Syria. The Gulf Crisis has taken a new turn with five Arab nation’s putting more stringent sanctions. The border conflict issue raised by China with bullying tactics has surprised observers. It might be a knee jerk reaction to growing diplomatic ties with US. The Kashmir Valley is still simmering with terrorist attacks and Pakistan backed backed Terror groups like Hijbul Mujahideen and Lashkar –E- Toeba . In this issue we are providing India’s critical infrastructure security protection update by sharing views from the key stakeholders and end users. We are also exploring evolving trends in Fire Secure segment with special feature on NAFFCO and Vijay Fire Vehicles and Pumps. The other themes include evolving tech-trends in SaaS-VSaaS and Identity Management. We are dwelling up on Drone Cameras, Body Worn cameras and Cover cameras under special theme.We take this opportunity to thank all the security, safety and fire protection ecosystem partners, professionals and business leaders, who have supported us through our journey. We will continue our media initiative to spread awareness and evangelize innovation. July 2017
We welcome your valuable suggestions and feedback. We express our special thanks to security industry patrons, peers and professionals for their continued support.
Be resilient and stay secured!

GST- the one nation , one tax regime is here for better. Critical Infrastructure Security is evolving with latest technology driven solutions Demand for Identity Management solution is growing fast. Drone Camera , Body Worn Camera and Covert Camera tend is catching up in india.
GST Rates Disappoint Security industry Government’s decision to club the 28% GST Slab to CCTV, Fire & Burglar Alarms, Access Control Systems and Fire Extinguishers etc. which are life safety equipments on the same level as Luxury and Sin Goods (like tobacco and cigarettes) and 18% applicable on Guarding and Cash Transportation Services has created shock waves in the security and fire industry. In fact, in Australia a GST of 10% is charged on fire & security systems and there is no/nominal import duties/tax. In Malaysia the GST is just 6%. India’s security and fire professional community is expecting lower GST rates. As most of these systems are not currently made in India, they have to be imported. Since the tax concessions that the handful of manufacturers enjoy at present are also proposed to be withdrawn, thereby discouraging local manufacturing, a lower GST rate will also help such manufacturers. The security industry employs large number of people as security guards (employees), who mainly belong to families presently below poverty level and which are significant in number i e. exceeding 50 lacs, thereby providing means of livelihood to them.
July 2017
Recently there has been significant increase in central wage (by 56% approx.) due to which the manpower costs have already increased and with the increase in the GST rate to 18%, it will further make the business establishments to cut down their work orders to avoid additional financial burden.

projects only after several deliberations with the residents of this city. What came across on top of everyone’s list were water and transport and accordingly PSCDCL prioritised projects, thus, the first project was 24x7 water supply followed by the pilot street design project in Aundh. Initially, PSCDCL had planned 52 projects but later, we segregated it into 31 basket projects, small projects which could be done together. The very structure of this project is very different, it compels you to think differently. This programme looks at two components –pan city and local areas, hence, we are looking at the whole picture when it comes to a city’s development. Pushkar Gokhle, Pune

The security landscape is evolving with the advancement of technologies. Criminals are taking advantage of technology, ease of international travel and the anonymous world of virtual business to disrupt public security and commercial stability. Yet, technology alone cannot be the only solution to counter technological risk and threats. A strategic response has to be taken into account to fight transnational organized crime. A conscientious effort from law enforcement agencies, businesses and citizens, is necessary to protect ourselves, our assets and our property.

Being at InTErPOl WOrlD itself is an honor for us. We want the world to know that with COM-Sur and through Crowd Sourced Surveillance, we can perhaps help discover the recce before the next Terror Attack. It is important to Make CCTV work for you! CCTV by itself is not enough. just add the angle of ‘Auditing’ CCTV/Video as a Standard Operating Procedure, Back up ‘Smartly’, and create ‘Intelligent’ Audit/Incident reports. Then ‘See’ the difference.

This year, Team COM-SUR is going to be at INTERPOL WORLD, Singapore, July 2017 demonstrating how the technology can Help, Prevent Crime and Losses, Improve Processes and Sales, Solve Crime Faster. CCTV Cameras and Video Sources per se, are increasing world over; yet Crime Continues to take place, and Business Processes Continue to be Flouted.

McAfee today released findings from a recent global study, “New Family Dynamics in a Connected World,” that aims to better comprehend how families’ attitudes and habits are evolving as their homes and lifestyles become increasingly connected. This study underscores the need for simple ways for parents to manage internet connectivity in their homes – from blocking inappropriate sites to controlling the amount of time users spend on their devices. The growing integration of connected devices in the lives of children is paving way for unique and hackable gateways for cybercriminals into the smart home network of consumers. Gartner forecasts that “there will be more than 10.5 billion ‘things’ in homes by 2020,” which, we believe, would further create a larger potential risk that the devices and personal data, that flow from them, can be compromised. While internetconnected devices offer consumers new opportunities, they can also come with some drawbacks and potential risks that can be the detriment of relationships. “In today’s connected world, parents play a crucial role to decide on the usage of technology and how it can influence their kids’ lives,” said Anand Ramamoorthy, Managing Director, South Asia, McAfee. “As Indians shift towards smart connected homes, we must help parents actively manage the way their families interact with connected devices to ensure that security and privacy measures are implemented. When these measures are realized consumers can enjoy the full potential that connected devices and smart homes have to offer.”
July 2017
Current Monitoring Methods Don’t Keep Pace with Technology • Parents tend to use older methods to monitor the device usage of their children. For example, 59% of Indian parents monitor their child’s device usage by keeping the device in their possession and only giving the child the device when the parent can monitor. Only 36% of Indian parents are using software to monitor. • 49% of Indian parents are concerned about their child potentially interacting with a social predator or cybercriminal online.

Vertiv Ranks Most Critical Industries in the World
Utilities, including electricity, gas, nuclear power and water treatment, are the most critical industries in the world according to a new ranking from Vertiv, formerly Emerson Network Power. Vertiv convened a panel of global critical infrastructure experts to systematically quantify and rank the criticality of multiple industries based on 15 criteria. Mass transit—specifically rail and air transportation—ranked second on the list, followed by telecommunications, upstream oil and gas activity and cloud and colocation.
“
If there is a common theme at the top of this list, it is the interconnectedness of these industries. These sectors are important to the foundation of today’s society, and downtime in any of these areas can reverberate across industries and around the globe. This will only continue as our world becomes more mobile and more connected and as the Internet of Things expands.
Jack Pouchet,
Vice President, Market Development, Vertiv.
“
Almost Half of Indian Parents Are Concerned About Stranger Danger, Reveals McAfee
The panel set criteria encompassing the range of potential impacts from the loss of availability of critical systems and weighted them based on the severity of the impact. These criteria then were used to create a criticality rubric the panel used to score the industries, which then were ranked by their average scores. Clean power and water are fundamental needs in a developed society and underpin most other industries and services, making utilities a clear choice as the most critical industry. Mass transit ranked second, with panelists citing not just the safety of travelers, but the massive impact delays and disruptions can have across multiple businesses, markets and the world. The No. 3 ranking for telecommunications reflects the importance of communications and connectivity in personal and business activities and emergency situations. Financial services topped the list of industries ranking highest in terms of financial impact of unplanned downtime. E-commerce was second, followed by cloud and colocation. Cloud and colocation also ranked fifth overall in the list of most critical industries due to the increased dependence on those platforms across multiple businesses. The panel also identified cloud and colocation as one of several rapidly emerging industries that are becoming increasingly critical. “Cloud and colocation growth continues to accelerate,” said panelist Tony Gaunt, senior director for colocation, cloud and banking, financial services and insurance for Vertiv in Asia. “We are right at the beginning of the up curve for core industries’ cloud adoption, and it’s likely that future critical services—the IoT networks that support smart cities and manufacturing, for example—will develop in the cloud.”

FIREBALL – The Chinese Malware 250 Million Infected Computers
Check Point Threat Intelligence and research teams recently discovered a high volume Chinese threat operation, which has infected over 250 million computers worldwide. The installed malware, Fireball, takes over target browsers and turns them into zombies. Fireball has two main functionalities: the ability of running any code on victim computers–downloading any file or malware, and hijacking and manipulating infected users’ webtraffic to generate ad-revenue. Currently, Fireball installs plug-ins and additional configurations to boost its advertisements, but just as easily it can turn into a prominent distributor for any additional malware. This operation is run by Rafotech, a large digital marketing agency based in Beijing. Rafotech uses Fireball to manipulate the victims’ browsers and turn their default search engines and home-pages into fake search engines. This redirects the queries to either yahoo. com or Google.com. The fake search engines include tracking pixels used to collect the users’ private information. Fireball has the ability to spy on victims, perform efficient malware dropping, and execute any malicious code in the infected machines, this creates a massive security flaw in targeted machines and networks. KEY FINDINGS • Check Point analysts uncovered a high volume Chinese threat operation which has infected over 250 million computers worldwide, and 20% of corporate networks. • The malware, called Fireball, acts as a browser-hijacker but and can be turned into a full-functioning malware downloader. Fireball is capable of executing any code on the victim machines, resulting in a wide range of actions from stealing credentials to dropping additional malware. • Fireball is spread mostly via bundling i.e. installed on victim machines alongside a wanted program, often without the user’s consent. • The operation is run by Chinese digital marketing agency. • Top infected countries are India (10.1%) and Brazil (9.6%) 250 Millions Machines And 20% Of Corporate Networks Worldwide Infected The scope of the malware distribution is alarming. According to our analysis, over 250 million computers worldwide have been infected: specifically, 25.3 million infections in India (10.1%), 24.1 million in Brazil (9.6%), 16.1 million in Mexico (6.4%), and 13.1 million in Indonesia (5.2%). The United States has witnessed 5.5 million infections (2.2%).

First investigations are talking about the flammability of exterior cladding, the lack of fire sprinklers and so on. All we can say that this is an eye opener for building owners to retrospect themselves and put their shoes in this situation and rise to the occasions. In India we have had high-rise fire incidences happening almost every month, which results into some human loss or injuries coupled with property damage, business interruption etc. There was a fire incident reported at a high-rise building in Powai, Mumbai on 7th June 2015. This fire hazard killed 7 residents and 28 were injured with woefully inadequate fire protection systems in the high-rise building.

In another horrific fire incident on 18th July 2014, a fireman was killed and at least 20 people suffered injuries in a blaze at 22 storied Business Park at Andheri, prompting questions about

pre-planning, high rise building in the metros, fire service ability to respond to an event of this magnitude and public awareness around this growing threat. These fire cases raised questions about appropriate permitting for high-rise building’s use, code enforcement, lack of fire Prevention-detection-protection and the role of occupants in understanding the impact of their surroundings on their own personal safety. Each of these incidents is an individual tragedy. Taken together, they depict a larger global problem warranting action. Looked at in their entirety, they are a collective example of how, either intentionally or accidentally, the fire prevention and protection system has
been broken. A system that the citizen believes exists and counts on for their safety. Where are we going wrong? In each of these scenarios as well as many more not mentioned we can point to one or more factors: • Lack of awareness or ignorance of the dangers of fire • The usage of outdated codes and standards by designers • Acceptance of reduced safety requirements to save money • Lack of education around the application of the fire codes and standards • Reduced or compromised enforcement When government and AHJ (Authority having jurisdiction) don’t adopt or
34
designers don’t use the latest versions of codes and standards, they lose the benefit of the latest technology, research and collective wisdom related to fire, electrical and life safety. When users fail to review and follow standards that are referenced in the codes, they aren’t ensuring the right
practices and products are used in the right situations, increasing vulnerability to such fire emergencies. When the professionals involved in design, installation, enforcement and maintenance have not kept up to date on the latest requirements they can end up applying products improperly leading to such disasters.
When fire officers/AHJ, under fiscal pressures or lack of understanding of the importance, reduce enforcement efforts, they place their society at risk as buildings deteriorate, change ownership or type of use. And when the public takes life safety for granted and is uneducated about fire risks, their improper or uneducated actions can place them in peril. The system on which the public relies for managing fire safety is broken and a single solution isn’t the answer. It will take a systems approach to fix it. At East Corp, we are focused on looking at the entire system and working with everyone involved to fill the gaps. We may not be able to prevent every tragedy from occurring, but by recommitting to and promoting a full system of fire prevention, protection and education; we can help save lives and reduce loss. Lets learn from lessons and make informed decisions.

injury, work accidents affect productivity, and companies can suffer significant financial losses. In the United States alone, workplace injuries and illnesses cost employers more than $220 billion annually, with 27 million working days lost per year. These rising costs are also hurting insurance companies and influencing coverage rates. Chris O’Connor, General Manager, Internet of Things Offerings for IBM
ccording to the International Labor Organization every 15 seconds, 151 workers have a work-related accident. The global number of non-fatal occupational accidents reaches a staggering 317 million, annually. Even more concerning, 321,000 people die each year from occupational accidents. Work accidents remain a huge, cross-industry problem, despite safety regulations and procedures. Even a non-fatal injury can have a potentially devastating effect on an employee’s health and livelihood. For employers, in addition to the distress of an employee suffering from

The good news is that advances in IoT technology is giving rise to the connected worker – a worker who is more aware of, and sensed by, their environment is inherently safer. Wearable and embedded sensors are making it possible for workers to be monitored within their surroundings to prevent injury from falls, overexertion, heavy machinery – the list of what wearables allow us to prevent is a lengthy one. Wearable technology taps into the Internet of Things for gathering, integrating and analyzing sensor data, and when coupled together with innovative cognitive capabilities and external sources like environment and weather, we see
enormous potential for better managing health, wellness and safety to truly help transform the way we live and work today. IBM AND NORTH STAR BLUESCOPE STEEL North Star Bluescope Steel, a steel producer for global building and construction industries for Australia, New Zealand and North American markets, is working with IBM to develop a cognitive platform that taps into IBM Watson Internet of. Things technology for wearable safety technology to help employees stay safer in dangerous environments. By gathering and analyzing sensor data collected from sensors embedded in helmets and wrist bands, the technology, IBM Employee Wellness and Safety Solution, provides real-time alerts to employees and their managers, enabling preventive measures if physical well-being is compromised or safety procedures are not being followed. Although certain wearable sensors such as fitness bracelets exist to provide individual solutions, the IBM research project offers
a platform that can be customized and extends the power of cognitive computing to collect and analyze information from a group of many sensors. By bringing this information together and analyzing what’s really going on around the employee, the solution can detect even hazardous combinations that individually may be overlooked. For example, a combination of skin temperature, raised heart rate, and no movement patterns for several minutes could mean a person is suffering from heat stress. Each of these signs individually would not be a cause for alert, but together they indicate a serious situation that warrants intervention. The majorities of workplace injuries are easily preventable through monitoring worker status. Injuries can be prevented, whether by ensuring that protective equipment is used correctly, or that time or location limitations for hazardous situations are monitored. Integrating and presenting contextual information to field workers from a wide variety of sensors creates more aware and well informed workers. It’s a method that is non-intrusive, hands-free, always-on, environment-aware, and offers the direct delivery of critical information to those who need it, when they need it.
“Through the use of the IBM Employee Wellness and Safety Solution, we have observed an increased awareness of heat stress and exertion in our trial users,” said Malcolm Edge, I.T. Director, NorthStar Bluescope Steel. “The solution has provided a proof of concept showcasing how data can flow from the user to the IBM Watson IoT Platform and back to a supervisor for intervention. This solution, once fully developed, will provide a solid foundation for increasing worker safety by providing real time monitoring of the environment around the worker.” In an effort to combat heat stress, Northstar is using the IBM Employee Wellness and Safety Solution to collect data from various sensors that continuously monitor the worker’s skin body temperature, heart rate, galvanic skin response and level of activity, correlated with sensor data for ambient temperature and humidity. The solution then enables Northstar to provide personalized safety guidelines to each individual employee, advising them to take a 10 minute break in the shade, if temperatures rise to unsafe levels.
or toxic gases, using sensor tags for temperature, humidity, noise, or light measurements. Gases can be detected using personal sensors enabled using Wifi or Bluetooth low energy sensors. Connected workers are not only inherently safer, but monitoring for more than scenarios that could cause injury can also lead to more productive workers. Monitoring workers can help implement measures that lead to less fatigue, less time spent on unnecessary tasks, and more time focused on the most critical tasks. The project with Northstar Bluescope Steel was developed as part of the IBM First-Ofa-Kind program, which brings together IBM researchers and clients to test new technologies on real business problems and growth opportunities.

ccording to Aditya Khemka, CEO and Director, Aditya InfoTech, “When designing a security solution for critical infrastructural facilities, you need to be prepared for all sorts of threats. Thankfully, significant advances in the surveillance technology have made securing critical infrastructure even more efficient, for instance the digital PTZ cameras which works as a single highdefinition camera allowing the viewer to zoom into vital areas to properly interpret a suspicious event; or thermal cameras to detect people, vehicles and incidents even in complete darkness; and the likes.” According to Ashish P Dhakan, Managing Director & CEO, Prama Hikvision ( India) “The Government of India’s ‘Smart Cities’ initiative has provided tremendous opportunities for the security solutions providers to safeguard initially 20 cities in Phase I and another 80 cities by the completion of this commendable mission. The initiative involves building critical infrastructure like airports, highways, power plants and rapid transit.” He further added, “Apart from CCTV cameras the ‘Smart Cities’ projects need enabling Wi-Fi at around strategic locations across the city , establishing Emergency Call Centers s and Public Address Systems, Environmental Sensors, Variable Messaging Displays, Network Connectivity

and Video analytics Integration. The project also involves setting up stateof-the-art Smart City Operation Centres (SCOCs) to integrate all its services and applications on a single platform. In this segment providing cyber security solution is another big opportunity.” According to Jatin Desai, Product Manager of Access Control and Time-Attendance Solutions, Matrix Security Solutions, “Many opportunities continue to exist with the growing awareness about security in India along with governmental influence to secure critical infrastructure against emerging threats. Our way of lifestyle is interlinked with the critical infrastructures that supply public safety, health, power, transportation, water and more. One of the highest priorities is to protect these infrastructures from vulnerability. This has created a demand for advanced security solutions in Government Offices, Banking Sector, Hospitals, Financial Institutes, Factories, Defense, Airport Authority of India, Transport, Seaports, Chemical Plants, Power Stations, Dams, Power and Energy, Oil Refineries, etc. Hence, there is a huge potential market in India for advanced Security solution and Video Surveillance in the coming years. Moreover, with consistent innovation in technology we can expect good market for security solutions in India.”

vulnerable to a host of threats, including intrusion, tampering, theft, and terrorist activities. In fact, there has been a significant rise in terrorist threats on critical infrastructure over the past decade. Hence, it has become extremely important to secure critical infrastructure and assets,” said Aditya Khemka.

According to Sanjeev Sehgal, Founder and MD, Sparsh, "As the threats to critical infrastructure increase with the advent of terrorist attacks and subsequent increase in government regulations, the physical security technology is expected to have the largest market share in India’s critical infrastructure security solutions market. It is therefore essential to go beyond ISO standards and benchmarks to tackle these growing threats through an increased focus on R&D." According to Russell OST, Vertical Market Manager –Oil & Gas,Pelco by Schneider Electric, “India has made significant investments to secure its Critical Infrastructure in the Oil & Gas and Transportation segments. Additional opportunities exist today in the utilities markets; including Power, Water, and Mining. Because all the aforementioned markets involve highly volatile environments, there is increasing demand for specialized surveillance products such as explosion proof cameras that are designed for plant safety.”

According to Ashwin Amarapur, Director, AllGoVision, “Critical Infrastructure is a very broad term and many verticals fall under its umbrella. These can include Power and Energy sectors, BFSI, Transportation, IT/ITES, Government Enterprises, and even monuments of national importance. The security of such verticals is given very high importance and thus the new technologies being used for security have many opportunities to be implemented across these varied sectors. Since the reliance on Human Security has reduced and the need to have highly accurate and cost-

effective automated security solutions is high, Critical Infrastructure sectors make a big market for Security Solutions.” According to James Chong, Founder and CEO , Vidsys, “The critical infrastructure security solutions market is growing rapidly in India. Smart Cities are emerging all over the country, and many of these cities are greenfield projects - essentially a clean slate for a new infrastructure. As the Internet of Things (IoT) is growing, there is a huge opportunity for cities to connect their existing infrastructure and hardware to begin utilizing the data to drive smarter decisions, better efficiency and overall cost savings.” EMERGING THREATS “The very fact that Critical Infrastructure forms the backbone of a country makes it
For the critical infrastructure sector to ensure better security, not only is it important to have the best surveillance equipment but also train security personnel so that they can monitor and manage the system efficiently. Aditya Khemka CEO & Director, Aditya Infotech
“The emerging threats are both traditional ones such as terrorism, political unrest, communal or sectarian violence, crime and militancy/ insurgency and nontraditional and unconventional threats as well. The imminent threat spectrum is quite broad, ranging from non-state actors waging cyber-attacks, adversaries carrying out information warfare and abnormal individuals and miscreants destroying valuable information with deadly electronic viruses. Therefore, the emerging threats are three fold and they have to be effectively tackled on the human, property and cyber fronts,’ said Ashish P. Dhakan. “Cyber Threats are continuously threatening public infrastructure in India. The community of cyber criminals and hackers has become more sophisticated, which influences the vulnerabilities of our infrastructure,” said Jatin Desai. "Terrorism is at its peak. Every day, new incidences highlight sensitive areas in world security and the innumerous ways security can be exploited. New methods of terrorist attacks increase the vulnerability of critical infrastructures. There is thus a need to regularly audit security solutions for keeping up with new levels of threats. “A regular upgradation in technology is essential to combat new world hazards to India’s critical infrastructure," said Sanjeev Sehgal. “The greatest new emerging threat is Cyber Security Attacks, because they have such a high potential for damage and disruption to the society and because they can be originated from anywhere in the world. Protecting the existing network infrastructure against both external and internal attacks will require careful thought, intelligent investments, and continuing vigilance, and will require security hardening of the network, servers, and edge devices. Physical security systems also need to deliver wider area surveillance with higher
levels of intelligence. This is where the combination of better panoramic imaging devices, advanced analytics and intuitive control platforms combine to deliver the specialized solutions required for critical infrastructure,” suggested Russell OST. “India’s Critical Infrastructure is under serious threats of both Physical and Cyber Attacks and also other calamities. Some of the Verticals like Transportation, Government Enterprises, BFSI, etc. are threatened by Terrorist Attacks and Theft/ Burglary and verticals like Power and Energy, Monuments, etc. are threatened by natural/ man-made disasters and accidents. Apart from these threats, disclosure of insider information and cyber-attacks are also prevalent nowadays. Human Errors and System Failures are also some of the threats,” said Ashwin Amarpur. “He further added,”Perimeter Protection is an important concern for Critical Infrastructure sectors like Oil & Gas, Power and Monuments of National Importance. The Entry/ Exit of such sites needs to be secured to prevent any unwanted movement or tailgating. The different regions inside the site also require security to prevent any mishaps/ accidents. All these requirements can be ensured through Video Analytics features. AllGoVision has successfully secured major Power Plants, Oil and Gas Production Sites and Monuments through its Video Analytics.” “A major increase in the number of data sources, and sheer volume of data being produced, presents unprecedented challenges for India as it undergoes a digital revolution. This could make the country even more vulnerable to cyber attacks such as WannaCry and others that we have seen so far in 2017. The latest attack is a wakeup call for India and other countries around the world to improve their cybersecurity posture and put tools in place to establish better situational awareness,” informed James Chong. KEY CHALLENGES “Considering the dependence on critical infrastructure, the destruction or incapacitation of even one of them can have a debilitating effect on the country’s security, national public health and safety, and economy. The key challenges to ensuring the best for critical infrastructure
include Crime prevention; Industrial process monitoring; Traffic monitoring; Transport safety; Surveillance,” suggested Aditya Khemka. According to Ashish P. Dhakan, “The key challenges of critical infrastructure protection are a multifaceted one requiring a variety of responses from various agencies and stakeholders.” • Adequate resources in terms of manpower and modern equipment • Skilled personnel to monitor, maintain and manage the protection of critical infrastructure 24x7. • Getting larger involvement by the private sector to share the responsibility with the government. According to Daniel Chau, Marketing Director, Dahua Technology, “Generally speaking, Critical infrastructure includes public infrastructures such as ports, airports and highway. To ensure best in class critical infrastructure security, the key challenges are quite different according to various applications.” • Ports 24/7 non-stop working, seaside salt spray, demanding working environment, difficulties of managing staffs, vehicles and containers • Airports Terrorism and lone-wolf attacks, Airside threats and perimeter security, Landside threats, Theft and robbery, Trafficking • Highway High capacity, high speed,
The Critical Infrastructure Sector should have a broad security framework to protect its people, assets and information. Strict enforcement of policy guidelines and make them known to all stakeholders and public. Ashish P. Dhakan, CEO & MD Prama Hikvision( India)
• Increased connectivity • Availability of information to preempt or prevent imminent threat • Rapid accessibility to the infrastructure site to manage emergencies. According to Daniel Chau, Marketing Director, Dahua Technology, “Generally speaking, Critical infrastructure includes public infrastructures such as ports, airports and highway. To ensure best in class critical infrastructure security, the key challenges are quite different according to various applications.” • Ports 24/7 non-stop working, seaside salt spray, demanding working environment, difficulties of managing staffs, vehicles and containers • Airports Terrorism and lone-wolf attacks, Airside threats and perimeter security, Landside threats, Theft and robbery, Trafficking • Highway High capacity, high speed, controlled access, high safety, quick response According to Jatin Desai, “The key challenges to ensure critical infrastructure are to identify the scenarios that lead to a security breach and to define the roles and responsibilities of industries and organizations in talking the liability of protecting critical infrastructure. A holistic approach needs to be adopted by governments and private sector providers.” According to Sanjeev Sehgal,"Lack of architectural framework and no common enforcement policy restricts a common playfield for development of security solutions. There are no prescribed policies or standards to provide a clear direction for protecting the critical infrastructure of the country. One of the biggest problems facing India is that there is still a need to indentify our critical infrastructure." According to Russell OST, “For best-in-class security, systems and procedures must be in place to protect against attacks. This includes detection of successful intrusions, mitigation of the effects of an intrusion, and quick restoration of any affected infrastructure to operational condition. While this is possible to say in one sentence, to fully implement such a security system requires a significant investment in time and money, and the strong cooperation of

effectively in industry today,” said Ashish P Dhakan. He further added, “The Framework is a living document and will continue to be updated and improved as industry provides feedback on implementation. As the Framework is put into practice, lessons learned will be integrated into future versions. This will ensure it is meeting the needs of critical infrastructure owners and operators in a dynamic and challenging environment of new threats, risks, and solutions.” many different organizations.” He further added, “The new emerging threats are part of a broader context of threats on infrastructure, which presents some big challenges. Infrastructure tends to be spread out over large distances, making it difficult to monitor by either staff or surveillance cameras. It also has many potential failure modes and failure locations, making it difficult to focus the protective actions on a few key locations. The effects of infrastructure failures on the general population can be significant – making the efforts to overcome these challenges all the more important.”

“Fortunately, traditional security actions including video surveillance of physical locations is also an important element for protecting against cyber-attacks particularly by detecting intruders and monitoring for attempts to damage or gain access to these critical systems. Before any action is taken to install new security measures, a detailed assessment must be completed to (1) identify failure modes and risks from known and unknown threats, and (2) review possible options to deny the attack and recover from any successful or partially successful attack. Only after this analysis is completed, can you design a security solution that can successfully protect the location,” said Russell OST.

“The technologies being used for Security tend to get obsolete with time and need to be frequently updated. Also, there may be cases where 2 different aspects of critical infrastructure would be interrelated. One of them may be highly secured but the other may not be and
42
thus this would threaten the security of the highly secured aspect as there may be loopholes in the other aspect’s security. There should be uniformity in the systems being used for interrelated aspects of critical infrastructure,” suggested Ashwin Amarpur.
“Enlarge the investment from governments and enterprises to critical infrastructures to build comprehensive security system. Set standards on security level and use machine (AI –deep learning) instead of human judgment to enforce the security level,” suggested Daniel Chau.
He further added,”In certain technologies, there are implementation challenges as they need to have ideal environmental conditions for the best performance.”
“Framework is a set of industry standards and best policy practices that help organizations manage vulnerability of risks involved in critical infrastructure. Adaptation of policy framework enables organizations to apply the practices of risk management regardless of its size, degree of security or degree of risk. This strategy
“India’s policy makers need to start planning for 1.7 billion people. As it prepares to become the most populous country in the world by 2050, the country faces a number of challenges. This includes everything from older roads that need to be repaved to traffic congestion in major cities, older buildings that need to be rewired and other fire and public safety concerns, in addition to the cybersecurity challenges that countries around the world face in the present age,” suggested James Chong. POLICY FRAMEWORK “Policy framework will ensure that solution designs and installations follow standards thereby,” suggested Aditya Khemka. “Policy Framework lays a broad roadmap to guide stakeholders in the right direction. The Policy Framework enables organizations to apply the principles and best practices of risk management to improving the security and resilience of critical infrastructure. The Framework provides organization and structure to today’s multiple approaches to cyber security by assembling standards, guidelines, and practices that are working

Maharashtra. Projects are also underway in Delhi, Lucknow, Hyderabad and Nagpur,” informed Ashish P Dhakan.
“Every organization should have a written security policy framework. This would allow individual sites to create their own detailed security policy, while complying with the organizations larger security goals,” said Russel OST.
He further added, “In Pune also we understand that L& T is doing some good works in its ‘Smart City’ project there. So, L&T’s ‘Smart Cities’ projects can be followed as a role model.”
“With the implementation of a policy framework, there would be uniformity in the security systems being used across varied sectors. This would decrease the vulnerability of interdependent aspects as uniformity would remove unwanted loopholes. Also, the systems that should be selected need to be continuously updated to counter new security threats. The security systems should be scalable and measurable and should undergo testing. This would help in setting a standardized practice. Policy Framework can also limit the investment/ cost of the security system and can help in filtering out highly expensive solutions which do not offer a good ROI,” observed Ashwin Amarpur. ROLE MODEL “Metro rails are a role model for best security management systems in India. Metro railsof almost all metropolitan cities have seamlessly integrated security systems within their infrastructure and operations, with smart analytics for effective surveillance and traffic management. And the results are for us to see: smooth operations even at the peak hours, without compromising on security,” suggested Aditya Khemka.
“Today’s critical infrastructure is widespread among various segments. It encompasses of a wide range of solutions in the security management and systems. However, Airport Authority of India can be followed as a role model for best security management and services. But no specific area can be taken as a role model as there are constant updates in the critical infrastructure,” suggested Jatin Desai. "Individuals or organizations cannot themselves take steps to advance security solutions for critical infrastructure unless there is a defined framework of guidelines and procedures. There is also a need to monitor these guidelines regularly. Since tenders are assigned on a lowest-bid process, it does not ensure that the best solutions are available for protecting the most sensitive areas of the country. Indian government has set up the national critical information infrastructure protection centre to assess the risks. This is the first step towards consolidating
The key challenges to ensure critical infrastructure are to identify the scenarios that lead to a security breach and to define the roles and responsibilities of industries and organizations in taking the liability of protecting critical infrastructure. A holistic approach needs to be adopted by governments and private sector providers. Jatin Desai, Product Manager of Access Control and TimeAttendance Solutions, Matrix

Many of these sites embrace IP-based communication technology for fast and flexible video transmission, and utilize HD and panoramic video cameras to provide a useful and accurate situational awareness. Security video is commonly integrated with access control applications to enhance the overall security posture. And, designed with redundancy can ensure systems with continuous operations,” opined Russell OST.

“It would not be ideal to select a role model but there are quite many Critical Infrastructure sites which have effective security management systems. Many Power/ Energy Sector Companies in India have successfully installed Video Analytics at the plants for applications like Perimeter Protection and the Detection of Intrusion and Suspicious Incidences and have been able to greatly reduce threats. Similarly, AllGoVision Video Analytics has been proved to be highly effective for ensuring the security in the BFSI sector and public-sector banks have been secured across different locations in India. Similarly, Transportation sector has also been served by AllGoVision, and Video Analytics has been installed at Highways,

manage the system efficiently,” suggested Aditya khemka. He further opined, “Any security assignment implemented in a critical infrastructure should be backed by careful recce, need analysis, identifying the objectives, and solution design based on the need and objectives.” “The Critical Infrastructure Sector should have a broad security framework to protect its people, assets and information. Strict enforcement of policy guidelines and make them known to all stakeholders and public,” suggested Ashish P Dhakan. Better security management requires the following: • Monitoring the infrastructure facilities 24x7x365 • Maintaining all security devices in operational condition. • Having a comprehensive crisis management plan ready. • Establishing a full-fledged Security & Surveillance Dept. • Regular Coordination with Law Enforcement Agencies. • Creating awareness on the importance of security. “The key to plan for better security is to thoroughly dig into the sore spots of each critical infrastructure, pay attention to the newest development and trend of global security industry, so as to better plan for the most suitable security layout for each critical infrastructure,” opined Daniel Chau. Evolved Infrastructure Security management requires following :
• Make available budget, both the governments and enterprises. • Informatization and visualization, enabled by intelligent video analytics and powered by AI • Less labor and better efficiency. • High definition, intelligent operation and maintenance. “Looking at the rising threats of vulnerabilities, protecting our critical infrastructure requires implementation of new technologies. The demand of advanced access control solution is rising with respect to securing our critical infrastructure. For better and enhanced security, advanced access control solutions can be integrated with Fire Alarm, Video Surveillance, Turnstile, Boom Barrier and many other security devices to avoid any untoward incident.,” observed Jatin Desai. He further added, “More and more security solutions must be implemented to reduce the risk of vulnerabilities. Keeping in touch with latest technologies, new inventions must be done.” "Critical infrastructure constitutes the cornerstone of a country’s growth. So the sector requires the best of security solutions within a defined set of guidelines to ensure safety. Investment in defining the framework through developments in R&D is the basic current requirement. Keeping up with new threats, technology has to be fostered with physical solutions to ensure protection from dangers pertaining today’s times," suggested Sanjeeev Sehgal.
He further added," there is no homogenous concept of protecting critical infrastructure. Standards vary in different countries, exposed to the same threats. Critical infrastructure requires regular upgrades in technology and solutions to be at par with terrorism and cyber threats. Government regulations and policies have to ensure that only the best security solutions are present at these sensitive locations." “While video monitoring provides excellent site intelligence, it often depends on human operators to notice irregular conditions and take action to investigate a potential attack situation. The ability to detect events and reduce remediation time can be greatly improved through the use of video analytics to automate at least part of the monitoring function. This enables the human operators to focus on evaluation and investigation tasks rather than watching and waiting for something to happen. Careful planning at the design phase is required to increase the effectiveness of intelligent analytics, because analytic functions depend on sufficient resolution and accurate programming to operate correctly,” suggested Russell OST. He further added, “Thus there are two essential components that should be built into critical infrastructure physical security systems: (1) imaging devices with detailed resolution, wide area coverage (long distances as well as wide angles), and robustness for challenging environments; and (2) video management systems
with open platforms and numerous established integrations to deliver the right combination of functionality and automatic detection and notification.” “Effective organizations have team members with clearly defined security assignments. Rotating assignments at regular intervals provides cross-training, improves team communication, increases overall site awareness, and may reduce event remediation time,” concluded Russel OST. “Critical Infrastructure sites should identify the potential threats that may hamper the Security and should then look for solutions. These individual solutions should form a well-integrated system. The components will include Cameras, Video Analytics, Cyber Security Tools, AccessControl Solutions, etc. It is important to make sure that all these components are integrated without any flaw/ loophole to form a robust system,” suggested Ashwin Amarapur.

Building situational awareness is the best way to gain an understanding of the status of your infrastructure at anytime from anywhere. There are now tools that allow different agencies or government organizations to collaborate and share video footage, and support incident management and response with other public safety stakeholders. This supports government agencies charged with protecting citizens, ranging from law enforcement and emergency responders to traffic management, by enabling their collaboration through a single, easy-to-use interface,” concluded James Chong.

HOWEVER, SEVERAL NEW TECHNOLOGIES ARE ENABLING AIRPORT SECURITY AND EXPERIENCE TO BECOME SMOOTHER AND MORE EFFICIENT. IN THIS ARTICLE, WE TAKE A LOOK AT A FEW OF THESE INNOVATIVE SYSTEMS. BY Prasanth Aby Thomas
here is no doubt that the global security threats and the concerns associated with them are on the rise. Across the world, nations are strengthening their security infrastructure in order to counter issues like terrorist attacks. This is especially true of critical infrastructure, in particular, airports. According to the research firm Global Market Insights, airport security market was worth US$8.8 billion in 2015, with gains at over 4.6 percent CAGR. This is expected to reach $12.8 billion by 2023, as governments prioritize the need to protect passengers and infrastructure. Asia Pacific is expected to see substantial development due to the emerging markets in India and China. The region accounted for over 25 percent of the global revenue in 2015. Economic progress and better infrastructure are driving demand for advanced security solutions in the region. The Middle East and Africa airport security market size is expected to witness notable growth due to the rise in the vulnerabilities and undesirable attacks in the countries including Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E., Global Market Insights added. “Growing air traffic with the increasing air travelers owing to the time-related factors and rising disposable income may contribute towards the industry demand,” the research firm said. “Increasing number of airports are investing in complex control & command (C2) and integration solutions due to the high level of security offered by such systems. Moreover, these systems provide greater situational awareness.”

Office records, the U.K.’s Heathrow Airport had 75.7 million passengers in 2016 alone. Considering Heathrow is only the 7th busiest airport by some records, one can only imagine the difficulties that busier airport present. The most significant challenge that airports face is the overwhelming number of people that pass through each day on their travels,” said James Somerville – Smith, EMEA Channel Marketing Leader at Honeywell Security and Fire. “It is not good enough for airports to react to a major security incident after it has occurred, as potentially thousands of people could be at risk. To tackle this, airports have adopted a strategy that allows security managers to spot and prevent any potential incidents from happening in the first place.” For example, one possible scenario is if someone within the airport leaves his bag in one of the terminals and walks off without it. In this case, video analytics is used to help the security team identify the incident, track the suspect in a busy crowd and pre-empt any problems. It is far easier to spot a person behaving in a strange manner with the help of a video management system, as it can group different locations together on a single screen. Once the individual has been identified and situation has been evacuated, staff can deploy security personnel to the source concern if necessary.

“In addition, many airports have large retail facilitiessometimes outlets with a far higher footfall than the shopping malls in many cities, Somerville-Smith continued. “Recovering stolen goods and convicting a perpetrator becomes almost impossible if they have boarded a flight. As a result, it needs to be possible to be able to search video footage quickly, tracking criminals through the airport, to ensure that they are caught before they board a flight.” But these are only a few of the challenges. According to Kavin Gramer, VP of digital Barriers, when providing security to airports a number of factors such as funding ,sccredition and

standardization come into play. “Aviation is highly regulated. Therefore, funding, accreditation, standardization, and the time it takes to gain approval are all major challenges in today’s environment,” Gramer said. “As suppliers to the industry, it’s important we work with bodies such as the TSA to ensure the most effective technologies are highlighted and that best practices are quickly shared. After all, our aviation system is highly interconnected and we are only ever as secure as our least secure airport.” Speaking of major factors that should be considered in this vertical, Gramer added that flexibility of existing security to ceramics, plastics, liquids, gels and powders even under multiple layers of clothing. Critically, it offers ample privacy protection as even though the camera can detect objects in a distance, it does not reveal invasive anatomical details. The camera uses varying levels o f n a t u r a l Te r a h e r t z e n e r g y emitted by people, objects and their surrounding environment to highlight any concealed objects, the company explains on its website. Reflected energy from the body is able to pass through clothing. However, any object between a person and the camera is shown in contrast. These differences, in contrast, are clearly visible to operators — and an operator-assist utility can be employed to support detection because it uses an entirely passive sensor system. ThruVis units are completely safe in their operation as they are as harmless as a normal video camera.
Mark Laustra, VP, Global Development and Government Relations, Analogic
technologies and processes to adapt to the new threats is key. “Another factor to consider is where the security perimeter begins and how easy it is for existing measures to be rehearsed against,” Gramer said. “For example, ‘lone wolf’ attacks are a growing threat to domestic security and the ‘insider threat’ has proven to be one of the vulnerable areas of airport operations since most employees entering an airport are not screened the same way passengers are screened.” Patrik Anderson, Director of Business Development for Transportation at Axis Communications, gave similar comments.
Checkpoint Security Revised A medical technology has now been found to be effective in airport security.
N
o doubt, the checkpoints are one of the most sensitive areas in an airport. The technology used at checkpoints are always a cause of debate as they should be effective without invading passengers’ privacy. Analogic, a Peabody, Massachusetts-based company has come up with a solution that uses the latest in computed tomography (CT) technology — yes, the same lifesaving technology used to diagnose diseases in humans — to offer better protection. “ConneCT is Analogic’s next generation scanner for airport checkpoint security,” explained Mark Laustra, VP of Global Development and Government Relations at Analogic. “It uses the latest in CT technology in conjunction with cuttingedge threat detection software. The various innovations ConneCT employs
will elevate the level of security for travelers, decrease the cost per passenger airports spend on screening while simultaneously increasing passenger throughput.” The scanner offers 100 times the amount of data available in current 2D X-rays and generates a 3D image that airport security screeners can manipulate, or toggle onscreen. This gives screeners a complete 360-degree view of a bag and affords them multiple points of view and the ability to “digitally unpack” a bag to detect threats. The company expects three major factors to drive demand for its solution. The ever-changing threat environment, need for improved travel experience and the possibility of upgrading to better technology at lower costs. “There are at least three key factors

“Airports are complex operations, involving multiple stakeholders, massive passenger flows and operational coordination to make flights land and depart on time,” Anderson said. “The major challenge area for security at airports lies in effective people verification. To look for terrorists, theft on the premises, wanted passengers to ensure secure access control between clean and unclean areas. To be able to identify potential threats or seek for individuals in the huge passenger volume and still be able to route passengers through this process in a quick and efficient manner is a challenge.

It is clear that challenges to airport security are not minor. In fact, at some point; experts question the degree of effectiveness of conventional security solutions in an airport. For instance, even with advanced analytics, video surveillance solutions are not fool-proof. This is one of the reasons several companies are investing in offering new solutions in this vertical. Going beyond just security, these products not only serve to enhance the everyday operations of the airport but also give us an idea of technological possibilities in making traveling as easier and safer activity. One of the popular technologies that airport authorities are looking to adopt is facial recognition. Media reports indicate several airports across the globe being keen to test this, but a recent news report from Australia suggests that airports down under could pioneer the use of facial recognition technology.Last year , the Australian government had announced a Seamless Traveller Project, considered a radical overhaul of the country’s travel system. An ambitious initiative within this project is a move towards replacing passports with biometric
recognition of their faces, irises and /or fingerprints. The government aims to have 90 percent of travelers processed automatically, with no human intervention at all, by 2019-20. if implemented within this time frame, it would be world’s first country to make extensive use of facial recognition technology for a seamless travel experience. Shawn Enides, Global Business Development Manager for Critical Infrastructure and Transportation at Genetec, suggested that what we really need to do is look at how the use of security equipment is evolving in Airports. “Operational airport personnel are equally using their technology to look at things such as passenger and vehicle flow, and parking optimization to set the tone for the whole airport experience,” Enides said. “One new concept is “silent airports’, which aim to improve the ambience and passenger experience, thereby attracting more travelers and making the airport more commercially successful.” Think of the difference between an airport terminal 20 years ago and now, for example, the range of shopping and dining adventures a traveler can have today ,Enides added. Data has always been in large supply in an airport environment, but more questioning is being had on how to leverage this data compounded with the infrastructure in place in the environment. Activities such as baggage handling , parking , lighting controls,

Security solutions in today’s airports go beyond their primary purpose and are part of daily airport operations itself. Enides pointed out that a well-designed solution is one that is already being used beyond its initial design. “Airports have installed an intricate network of cameras and ALPR units which gather data, so the question becomes how else can we use that data to provide better analytics and intelligence?” Enides said. “We’ve started helping our customers utilize their cameras beyond VMS, to also analyze passenger flow, retail engagement and density. Retail vendors within the airport terminal are also able to leverage this visual data to understand patterns, so they can affect better patron engagement strategies when comparing the analytic data of their sales volume, employee count and product displays. Having the insight into how much product is sold, on what days and peak hours is great, but being able to contrast this to how many potential patrons came into your store or paused in front of your display creates an even more complete data set to help make strategic decisions for increasing customer engagement. Equally, many airports are also using ANPR units to keep vehicle counts at the parking level and to understand lot utilization. This data can also be effectively used to inform airport patrons via digital signage or airport mobile applications to help them quickly find parking.” Using both cloud-based and onsite analytic packages to process and analyze data from the sources in the environment are crucial new ways to enhance the passenger, client and employee experience at airports today. Airports continue to remain one of the key critical infrastructures in most countries. Several challenges remain in making these travel hubs completely safe, but with new technologies and further investment, governments across the globe are trying to make them as secure and easy to operate as possible.

irports are keen to keep their skies clear of anything other than aircraft, living or nonliving. The dangers of the use of drones near airports are something that has gathered a lot of attention lately, but here is a company that believes flying its drone near airports can be beneficial. Clear Flight Solutions, a Netherlands-based company, has come up with a wing-flapping bird drone, to keep other birds away. Robirds are truly unique remotely controlled robotic birds of prey, with the realistic appearance and weight of their living counterparts. Robirds use flapping wing flight as a means of propulsion, with a flight performance comparable to real birds. Speaking to a&s International, Jan-Willem van den Eijkel, International Sales Manager at Clear Flight Solutions, pointed out that the main objective of the drone is to have a very effective bird control management system. The company is in talks with airports across the globe to implement this device and expects them to be operational in the coming months.

Security of Critical Infrastructures: Risk based Approach Critical Infrastructure facilities need to be protected to a very high level at all times, as any damage to these services can cause vast disruption to the country. It requires a mission critical risk-based approach. by cApt Sb tyAGi, coAS cc*, fiSm, cSc, cSp

ndia is the fifth most powerful country in the world, says the National Security Index (NSI) designed by the country's foremost security and economic experts. A part of India's National Security Annual Review 2010, which was officially released by foreign minister SM Krishna on April 19, the NSI 2010 placed India fifth in the hierarchy of top 50 nations identified on the basis of their GDP.According to Satish Kumar, Director of ‘Foundation for National Security Research’, who edited the National Security Review, the National Security Index (NSI) is based on an assessment of defence capability, economic strength, effective population, technological capability and energy security of the top 50 countries. The US is at the top of the list on the basis of these criteria followed by China, Japan and Russia. CHALLENGES: As the global economy surges ahead into the 21st century, few challenges rank as highly as that of critical infrastructure protection. Threats to critical assets in a wide range of sectors continue to emerge and evolve, as does the complexity and interdependency of seemingly independent systems. The ability to protect infrastructure against these threats - both intentional and accidental - will have a significant impact not only on the nation’s ability to produce goods and services in a global economy, but also on the reputation of India as a home for economic investment and opportunity. The challenge of protecting critical assets is
complicated by a number of factors, not the least of which is how to define what is critical. If criticality is defined by the consequence of failure, then many categories of assets may qualify as critical. These assets can include petrochemical facilities, electric plants, water and sewage treatment facilities, IT conduits, and even individual water mains that constitute a single point of failure. Prioritizing these assets for consideration is an essential element of any comprehensive and effective infrastructure protection approach.
solutions are available for Cable & Network Security to protect valuable systems and computer data from misuse or sabotage.The physical elements of Critical Infrastructure are often located in remote areas and as a result are particularly at risk from Fire. Fire Detection and Suppression solutions help to protect personnel and property from the dangers associated with the outbreak of fire; whilst Temperature Sensing and Strain Gauge Sensing are used to monitor the environment within critical facilities.
It is vital to protect assets that are essential to the functioning of society and the economy. Critical Infrastructure includes facilities for generating electricity and its distribution, oil, gas and water pipelines, agriculture, transport, tunnels, bridges, health provision, financial and security services, among others. These facilities need to be protected to a very high level at all times, as any damage to these services can cause vast disruption to the country.
MAJOR AREAS OF SECURITY CONCERNS The creation of any key-infrastructure is a major logistical operation from locating and investigating new sites to the movement of personnel and establishment of facilities. It takes an enormous amount of resources to establish such sites and all the operators have to rely on a sound cloak of security to prevent theft of equipment, extortion, sabotage and kidnapping of work force. There are following major areas of security concerns –
RISKS MITIGATION Risks and threats include natural disasters such as earthquakes, severe weather and flooding, as well as sabotage, civil unrest, war and terrorism. Attacks on Critical Infrastructure can take the form of physical attacks to Buildings and people, or electronic attacks, either internally or via internet-facing computer-based networks. Critical Infrastructure can be protected using a wide range of solutions including Perimeter Security, Surveillance Systems, Intruder Detection, Access & Entry Control, Leak Detection and Ground Based Radar to prevent unauthorized access and malicious damage.Signaling cables running alongside railway lines and power cables are a common target of theft, the result of which could have severe repercussions – therefore there are solutions available which can be deployed for the protection of such assets. Water distribution could be a target for terrorist activity and so should be protected accordingly. In a world where electronic attacks are becoming ever more wide spread,
• Security of survey parties and their equipment (even explosives!) • Land acquisition and establishing camp sites: Pre-camp: armed / static security • Security during movement of essential equipment and key personnel • Travel protection of executive and employees • Transportation of heavy machinery and raw material - rail, air & sea • Commencement of construction activities – labor unrest, law-and-order • Establishing early facilities and security thereof • Security of larger installations such as ports, refineries, LPG plants and petrochemical complexes • Security of supply chain – storage / warehouse, rail / road transportation • Intelligence gathering and disaster planning • Constitution of Emergency Response Teams For the Key Infrastructures such as power, oil and gas or aviation, the security is always
53
a major concern as this sector world over has high probability and vulnerability from terrorist attacks and sabotage. Their operations also have high criticality. POLICY FRAMEWORK The best approach for security of critical infrastructure is building a risk-based system that classifies and defines assets according to their criticality and the consequence of their loss. The approach must start as a strategic analysis - an examination of interdependencies of various industries, large-scale single points of failure, population and industrial demands for resources, and methods to protect critical assets and nodes and ensure the resiliency of systems, should an incident - intentional or accidental occur. This strategic analysis should guide the identification of individual assets for assessment against a range of threats, with mitigation strategies appropriate to the level of risk and the consequence of loss. Building a risk-based system for asset classification presents not only the opportunity to distinguish India’s infrastructure assets as safe and secure for investment, it also presents a number of opportunities for significant long-term cost savings. As nations around the world struggle to retrofit facilities with costly and often obstructive security measures, India and other emerging economies have the opportunity to design and build these measures into facilities from the beginning phases of projects. With intelligent design based on proper risk factors, facilities can save significant amounts while building scalable approaches into facilities that have minimal impacts on business operations. Planned investments in port facilities, airports, and other projects present a window of opportunity to create a long-term competitive advantage.
JULY 2017

A risk-based system of asset classification and definition, however, is only effective if it is enforced by a sound policy and regulatory structure. A well-coordinated structure would address not only the requirements upon various industries to ensure protection of designated industries and assets, but would also serve as a conduit for effective communication between government actors as well as between the private and public sectors. This communication conduit could not only serve as a means for stakeholder input, but could also serve to balance policy and regulatory approaches
54
with economic competitiveness. POLICY AND REGULATORY APPROACHES Responsibilities for policy and regulatory approaches will reside at a number of levels. Some facilities, by their nature and the consequence of their loss, will be regulated by national authorities and agencies. At the local level, however, planning authorities offer one of the most effective means of ensuring that assets are properly classified, assessed, planned, and designed to address relevant threats. By building security reviews into the development review process, planning authorities have the greatest opportunity to institutionalize the risk-based approach to critical asset protection. These authorities are also often the most local of any potential risk-regulating institutions, and provide the most accessible nodes of access for stakeholders concerned about policies and regulations and their impact on the economic viability of a project. SECURITY STRATAGEM The existing passive model of risk management, normally utilised by the industry to mitigate safety, criminal, or environmental risks through weighing probability and impact is of little use in predicting wicked risks to Critical Infrastructures, whose probability cannot be assessed (not quantifiable for insufficient statistical data) and whose impact can be catastrophic and far reaching both economically and socially. Typically, these risks have the characteristics of being unexpected and did not feature on risk assessments and planning; they were different than anticipated; were unpredictable in location, scope and impact; and can overwhelm the capacity to respond and deal with it immediately. The only effective counter is through a joint approach, incorporating whole-of-government and the Critical Infrastructure Operating Companies. With the threat of terrorism looming, Critical Infrastructure Operators in the industrialized world have taken action to prevent terrorism from harming their infrastructures with steps that include: • Increasing system redundancy, • Deploying state-of-the-art surveillance equipment, • Deploying aerial and ground patrols, and • Fortifying pipeline systems against cybersecurity breaches. Conducting periodic risk assessments to measure the level of risk and threat exposure to business operations; • Addressing porous border issues to
prevent terrorist movements across borders – especially in volatile regions; • Expanding and securing the perimeters of critical sites to allow a multi-layered early detection, warning, deterrence and delay based solution to identify and deal with threats and adopting the use of advanced technology (sensors – manned and unmanned, etc) for early detection of threats, securing pipelines, etc; • Companies also need to address the security gaps that evolve due to convergence of cyber physical threats – by adopting advanced cyber physical unified threat management solutions; • Creating a dedicated critical infrastructure security force to deter and counter such attacks against critical infrastructure in volatile regions and countries. Lessons learned from accidents and safety incidents have been regrettable but they are critical contributions to instil safety in the DNA and operating culture of any prudent Critical Infrastructure Operator.’ In other words, it could be said that in order to implement and exercise best security practices for the security of Critical Infrastructures, lessons learned from previous incidents should be well understood. PROGNOSIS The challenges and opportunities associated with critical infrastructure security are varied and wide-ranging, and will evolve over time, given differing threats. A thorough approach to the issue should be based on a set of guiding principles - the foundation for how the nation will design its efforts and address dynamic threats and conditions. By focusing on a risk-based approach and a sound system of stakeholder communications, India and its varied critical industries can build a sound foundation for asset prioritization, resource allocation, and policy and regulatory development. Building on this foundation, India can build a comprehensive infrastructure protection approach that not only ensures the security of its existing industries, but also enhances its position as a stable environment.Jonathan Mead in his book titled “Indian National Security: Misguided Men and Guided Missiles” says that, “Man's struggle for survival is the most enduring aspect of a nation's security equation.” It is an obligation of a ‘security professional’ to paint an inclusive picture of India's security construct - one that encapsulates individual, societal, political, economic, military, internal and external dimensions.

Sourav Banerjee, Regional Sales manager, South Asia, identiv no one wants to wait and no company wants to see long queue in front of office for Identification • Enrollment – Priority is less but if the number of users is huge then complex enrollment solution will not work • Cost – The cost of the system should be affordable for the organization • Size – Size of the system should play important role in solution/product development. “Usage of mobile is human life is increasing and simultaneously the usage for work station is diminishing and this calls for proving secured login in mobile devices. Identiv is actually a step ahead then the industry in providing pki infra in mobile device environment. This gives convenience to user, makes data safe and more and more employees are allowed to opt for BYOD,” suggested Sourav Banerjee. CHALLENGES “In the market lot of solutions are available but it’s a System Integrator’s job to identify the requirements of the End User and suggest them best suitable solution available. In most of the cases SI try to sell the solution which is available with them without considering the actual application of End user. In such cases
Most of the MNC customer has their legacy system and the installer need have the knowledge of the system or the need to have certified engineers on that system to execute the project smoothly. But at the same point of time where the installer need to suggest a system and the customer demands for highly encrypted, stable system for pittence which they struggle to provide and ultimately the customer goes for a cheaper system which gives maintenance issues to installer as well as end user,” observed Sourav Banerjee. LATEST PRODUCT OFFERINGS “Last year we have launched our Access Control Products Portfolio, its complete end-to-end solutions – from Single Door Controller to Four Door Controller, from Card Based Terminal to Fingerprint Based Terminal, Mifare Card Reader to Proximity Card Reader, Locks to Exit Switch, and much more.

DRONE CAMERA, BODY-WORN CAMERA AND COVERT CAMERA MARKET POISED FOR GROWTH Military Drone Camera, Body Worn Camera and Covert camera products have now proliferated into civilian and homeland security market. The demand for these cameras are growing due to rise in terror threats. by AnAnt JoShi, A&S indiA

use of cameras on stable flying platforms that are used to help implement video and picture taking from the air. Activity visualization from the air lets users share images and videos that are interesting and help build relationships.
Analytics makes the images more cogent. Cameras used from the air are used to anticipate infrastructure problems that only become visible to humans on land days, weeks, or months after the drone images detect issues.
BODY-WORN CAMERAS ARE GETTING UBIQUITOUS According to the latest IHS report, Body worn cameras appear to have cemented their place as indispensable pieces of equipment among law enforcement agencies around the world.
The worldwide market for camera drones is $2 billion anticipated to reach $21.5 billion by 2022. Worldwide consumer drone markets are poised to achieve significant growth with the
Indeed, the question of whether or not police departments in much of North America and Western Europe will adopt a body worn surveillance solution has become not one of “if” but

rather “when.” According to Yogesh B. Dutta, COO, Aditya Infotech, “It’s just the beginning for drone, body-worn and covert cameras here in India. With the government’s latest usher to the Digital India initiative, a lot is being brought to the table, among which these specialized cameras are also being considered.” He further added, “Officials believe that these specialized cameras can equip forces and provide them an advantage when in combat. In fact, they are being tested in the different conditions in which our forces work from time to time to establish their efficiency. However, there is still some time before these specialized cameras would qualify the necessary administrative formalities to
begin being used.” According to Daniel Chong, VP, Dahua Technology, “BWC is mainly created to support the police to better collect evidence, especially those of emergencies. “ EVOLVING TREND “Drone, body-worn and covert cameras are still a new concept. While they are already in use in the global arena, assisting forces perform their duties; India is yet to see a full scale use of these specialized cameras.,” observed Yogesh B. Dutta. He further added, “With the passage of time, these cameras are becoming smarter and even more efficient. For instance, they are now equipped with high resolution lenses that capture sharper images even in low light conditions, leaving no room for any ambiguity. The designs, an important aspect of such cameras, which were earlier bulky, are now becoming sleek and compact.” INNOVATION “Drones are now equipped with thermal cameras which gives long range monitoring which are beneficial for traffic monitoring, border areas, also with GPS module that provides a location update on the area being surveyed. BWC are now equipped with automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) solution and 4G module for live transmission of video over the internet. Covert cameras now offer high definition resolution along with audio
Yogesh B. Dutta, coo, Aditya infotech I/O,” informed Yogesh B. Dutta. “Last year during G20 Summit in Hangzhou, Dahua offered more than 2400 sets of body worn cameras to participate the overall security surveillance activities at that time. Plus, Dahua provided 300 sets of BWC for Do Maude Dov Airport in Russia,” said Daniel Chong. CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES “The deployment of these specialized cameras without running the risk of misuse is going to be a significant challenge. The government will have to take the necessary steps to frame guidelines and policies that shall govern the use of such specialized cameras,” suggested Yogesh B. Dutta. He further added, “The opportunities abound; for instance, with drone cameras in use, heights and depths will just become numbers; body worn cameras will not only capture the lawbreakers right from the field of action
but also act as a deterrent; and covert cameras will inconspicuously probe into incidences to capture breakthrough evidence in covert operations.” “BWC is developing to become high definition, wide angle and wireless functional. It is majorly applied in two situations. One is to help video record illegal matter and collect evidences; the other is to video record the police enforcement process, standardizing police behavior,” concluded Daniel Chong.

BODY-WORN CAMERAS HAVE A HUGE OPPORTUNITY OF EXPANSION AMONG THE POLICE AND PARAMILITARY FORCES ccording to Rajiv Mathur, Executive Director, Sparsh, “Body worn cameras are a relatively new addition to the security market. The increased demand from paramilitary forces and police forces are expanding the reach of the product in the Indian markets as well as the world markets. It is in the process of defining a huge self sustaining market for itself in the coming years.” TRENDS “Billions of dollars are being spent worldwide on the roll-out of bodyworn cameras for police officers and paramilitary forces, and the public they serve. There is an ever growing demand for these cameras in the current scenario, as assaults on police are amplifying along with the increasing threats on the citizens. Further research continues to be carried out at the use of bodyworn cameras within the police forces all over the world,” said Rajiv Mathur. He further added, “Globally, there is a demand for increased features such as 4G, wi-fi enabled cameras, longer duration of recording, encrypted recording, live streaming

and cloud storage, incorporated within the standalone product.” “We at Sparsh, have developed products under the Smart Police Camera solution. Smart Police Camera is a battery powered device designed for security and video surveillance purposes. The camera can easily be worn by the user,” informed Rajiv Mathur. He further added, “India has not yet responded to this demand, but we have already started getting orders from US and Singapore for these body worn cameras.” “Similar to any other product, cheap variants of body worn cameras are already available in the market. This compromise in quality threatens the very purpose for which this camera has been developed. The product has a huge opportunity of expansion among the police and paramilitary forces. However, the quality of the cameras cannot be overlooked by allowing cheap alternatives to dominate the market,” observed Rajiv Mathur.

CHALLENGE(S) The maximum segment length of the wire used was 250m, while the distance between the camera and the DVR was 500m. Use of multiple switches would only increase the points of failure possible and hence, fiber optic cables were used. IMPACT The HD video surveillance solution delivered great results, meeting client expectations successfully. High definition imagery, active monitoring round-theclock and in-built analytics enhanced overall safety and operational efficiency, allowing the management to monitor the vast expanse effectively.
JULY 2017
angladesh Navy is the naval warfare branch of the Bangladeshi military. Designated to protect the country's economic and military interest at home and abroad, the Bangladesh Navy is responsible for 118,813 square kilometers (45,874 sq. mi) of maritime territorial area around the country. It functions as the front line disaster management force in Bangladesh and humanitarian missions abroad. It’s also a key regional player in counter terrorism efforts and actively engages in global peacekeeping with the United Nations. The stretch of the port runs into quite a few kilometers, and functions as the primary dock for the naval base. The authority wanted to secure the port with CCTV surveillance cameras so as to ensure transparency and maintain order around the area.
www.asindia.in
The existing security system comprised of low resolution analog cameras that produced hazy images, and were exposed to tampering. The authorities were seeking image clarity so that they can ensure transparency and efficient monitoring of the premise..
66
SOLUTION The premise was carefully screened by our security experts to determine the best locations where cameras could be installed to monitor the maximum area without compromising on the footage quality. The choice of cameras, cabling, and related equipment/ peripherals, also required careful evaluation since they would be exposed to fluctuating weather conditions. After analyzing the requirements and post subsequent discussions with the authorities, the CP PLUS Solutions Team designed a solution comprising of some of the most advanced IP cameras to meet the client’s requirement. IP solutions are an ideal choice when detailed clarity is required; it offers great image clarity even in low light conditions. Installation is also easier since the cabling requirements are significantly lesser as compared to analog solutions, which was best suited considering the expanse of the location. Further, the choice of NVRs and video management software ensured that footage could be monitored without hassles and backed up as desired.
“It was undoubtedly a challenging project considering the vastness of the premise, but our efforts paid off when the client expressed content at the end of it all. Impressed with the image quality and video management design, the client has expressed interest in installing more such solutions in the adjoining locations”, mentioned Yogesh B. Dutta, COO, Aditya Infotech.

Automate Your Business and Increase Profits by Integrating Video Surveillance with Weighbridge Solution Matrix has integrated Video Surveillance with Weighbridge Solution to enhance profitability. Submitted by mATRIX
n Manufacturing Industries, managing the inflow/outflow of materials on a daily basis is a daunting task. A company making profit or loss is hugely dependent on how accurately they can manage and monitor the inflow and outflow of material. Currently, most organizations follow a manual approach wherein a worker manually enters the data of raw materials into the system. This leaves a scope for manipulative/ error prone records of data, leading to losses.
Data Transfer: The captured information is then shared with SAP/ weighbridge software along with pictorial evidence. The entire data is also stored in the Matrix VMS using a unique receipt number, which can be searched easily in the future.
Report: A receipt with information like transaction number, vehicle number, empty vehicle weight, loaded vehicle weight, time, etc., can be printed along with pictorial proof to avoid any discrepancies.
Weighbridge Integration with Matrix VMS help Manufacturing Industry customers by providing a pictorial evidence of the weighing process to safeguard against manipulation of data. The process works as mentioned below: Data Capturing: Three cameras are installed at the entry/exit gate to capture license plate number of the vehicle, weighbridge reading and the driver’s image. The trigger to capture can be provided manually or via Trip Wire detection on weighbridge.

CHALLENGES FACED BY VARUN BEVERAGES: In a bid to ensure security and operational efficiency, Varun Beverages deployed analogue surveillance solutions in multiple areas. However, despite its efforts, the company suffered a number of thefts. Adding to their distress was the poor image quality and limited coverage area of their existing analogue surveillance solutions. Their daily operations suffered, owing to such drawbacks. The surveillance systems were deployed to keep a check on the upkeep of the machines, daily manpower, maintenance of hygiene and operations. However, blurred videos and lowly image qualities made is absolutely difficult to keep a wary eye out or fulfill any of the above. Faces recognition was difficult and activities in some areas at a certain distance were not clearly visible. Adding to the ache were entangled cabling issues. SITUATION: VIVOTEK along with Network Technology familiarized Varun Beverages, one the largest PepsiCo franchisee in the world, with IP surveillance solutions to counter
68
their issues. The idea was to equip the brand with contemporary security solutions and bring them at par with the evolving security threats. The duo highlighted technical glitches the brand was experiencing and the inadequacies associated with analogue based surveillance to address current threat landscape. The company incurred losses as it was difficult to keep an eye on the stocks going out or coming in. Workers inefficiency led to stocks coming back from the market, due to packaging glitches, deterring the brand image in the market. Varun beverages needed something highly reliable, consistent in performance and more accurate. SOLUTION: After having analyzed the situation, VIVOTEK and Network Technology suggested altering their analogue surveillance solution to IP surveillance solution. They offer complete end-to-end solution from general surveillance to pin point surveillance at various check points in the plants. Offering appropriate models for the brand’s varied needs, VIVOTEK and its associate partner, segregated the camera for multiple sites on the basis of different locations. Including 5-megapixel 360 degree surround view fisheye camera FE8180, robust Full-HD speed dome camera SD8363E, 3-megapixel outdoor ready 180 degree view fisheye
camera CC8370-HV, 2-megapixel 15 meters IR illuminator fixed dome camera FD8169, and two bullet type cameras IB8369 and IB8367. All of the cameras are united in VIVOTEK’s professional video management software, VAST, making cameras becomes more powerful and increasing management efficiency. COURSE OF ACTION – VIVOTEK: Formulating an all-inclusive IP surveillance solution for Varun Beverages, VIVOTEK first inspected all the plants and identified their critical areas. To get a better perspective of things, the team met with the HR department, store in charge, admin in charge and the IT department. With their assistance, they conducted a survey of areas within the plant with no network connectivity and suggested establishing network connections accordingly. After analyzing the situation, the solutions were deployed covering all boundary walls, loading and unloading areas and other critical areas. The process of security solutions deployment didn’t end with just the deployment. Post the placement, the entire commissioning was verified and then a user level training was also conducted. Only after the training, was the entire facility handed over to the in-house team.
e
BENEFITS TO THE CLIENT: The deployment of VIVOTEK IP surveillance solutions transformed the operational scenario into a more productive and secured one. Post the installation procedure, Varun Beverages was able to prevented thefts in the warehouses and plants. The workers and operation staff being well aware of the enhanced security surveillance in the vicinity now, stick to the company protocols and live up to the company standards, in terms of hygiene and efficient operations. They are absolutely satisfied by the video
image quality in their current IP surveillance system. VARUN BEAVRAGE’S FEEDBACK “VIVOTEK’s IP surveillance system worked with us step by step to not only provide the robust security solution we were looking for, but also helped us navigate through all our key plant requirements. The IP surveillance system has significantly improved the control over the entire production process and administrative areas of all our production facilities.
The solution enables an efficient and centralized security through which the manager can monitor remotely anytime and anywhere promptly and effectively. VIVOTEK has been really helpful during the planning stage and in providing technical support, which exceeded our expectations, and we’re looking forward to providing them with more as their business expands.” As quoted by Johnson Cherian, G.M ( IT Infrastructure) Varun Beverages.

UP100 - A Citizen Centric Police System The Uttar Pradesh Police has launched the organization’s largest, and one of the most ambitious projects in its history, the ‘UP100’. This project is integrated and implemented by Mahindra Defence . Submitted by up police & Mahindra Defence
UP 100’ is the official name of the Uttar Pradesh Police Emergency Management System, also previously called the Uttar Pradesh State-wide Dial 100 Project.
JULY 2017
UP 100 has been established to provide integrated emergency services relating to public safety across the State of Uttar Pradesh on 24x7 basis. A centralized contact centre has been established at Lucknow for receiving all emergency calls directly from across the State, including remote rural areas.
www.asindia.in
The centre receives not only the mobile or phone calls, but also responds to all other modes of communication like email, social media etc. All dialects of Hindi, major Indian and even some foreign languages are supported. Persons with special needs are able to connect through video calls where interpreters of sign language transcript their issues
70
and actions are taken. The UP 100 centre at Lucknow directly controls police response vehicles. A fleet of 3200 cars has been deployed in 75 districts of the State in the first phase. An additional 1600 motorcycles are to be deployed in the second phase. Upon receiving any information where field assistance is required, nearest police response vehicle is dispatched to assist citizens. It is targeted to reach the caller within 15 minutes in the city areas and 20 minutes in the rural areas most of the times. The personnel manning these vehicles are under the direct operational control of the UP 100 centre. Fire Services are also being added to the field services, where automatically fire services shall be provided in cases where they are needed. Integration with already functional medical emergency ambulance service operating on a State-wide number 108 is being done
to also include ambulance services with UP 100. Once a call lands at Lucknow centre, it is received by professional women communication officers, who are not police officers. The entire conversation is recorded, and then the call is transferred to Police Dispatch section to send required police assistance at the ground level and also inform the local police station. The police response vehicle reaches the victim, isolates the scene of crime, and hands over the scene to the local police station for further legal actions. Detailed Standard Operating Procedures have been laid out for different situations, aimed at standardization of services across geographical areas. A call from a person in distress reaching straight at the Lucknow centre, eliminates the need for the person to visit the local police station.
The infrastructure is designed to make the system available round the clock in a reliable manner. So, when a call is made on 100, it is positively answered. Non-police women officers record the grievance with empathy, who are absolutely neutral to the issue. Then the police directly under the control of the State centre is sent to the victim, who also have no interest in minimizing any issue. The resources provided ensure that help reaches the victim within 20 minutes, anywhere in the State. The local police are also informed of the issue simultaneously to initiate actions. As the local police reach the scene, the UP 100 hands over the case to the local police for further legal actions. This process ensures that the resource constraints of local police station or discretion at that level are eliminated. All voice calls are recorded for any future reference. All issues are documented electronically without police intervention.
functioning. In the longer term, it will impact the attitudes and behaviour of citizens, police, government, media and many kinds of pressure groups. THE CONTACT CENTER UP 100 contact centre is a state of the art technology centre which is operational 24*7, 365 days a year. It has a seating capacity of 400 communication officers (COs) and dispatch officers (DOs). To aid the COs and DOs, an efficient CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch) system has been designed infused with the latest technology features. It also has an Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) to be activated in large scale emergencies or planned events for multi-department coordinated response. The contact centre has high quality video walls installed on CO and DO side each. These video walls are spread out across the length and breadth of CO and DO halls.

We did not have this ready-made, and we decided to do this massive exercise as well. We collected digital map boundaries of all villages, approx. 1.07 lakhs, from NIC. Then mapped each village onto the correct police station jurisdiction. The boundaries of urban police stations were mapped with the help of GIS application. As can be understood, this was a tedious, painstaking exercise. However, it was completed in time for ComputerAided-Dispatch System to use. And now our system has the capability of identifying
The UP 100 system is unique in many ways. Most fundamentally, it is citizen centric. It is designed to empower citizens get government protection in an impartial and honest manner in emergencies threatening their life or property. And it makes the police establishment accountable for their actions. We believe that it will lead to a fundamental shift in the way police provides its services at the grass roots level, which will benefit each law-abiding citizen. This is going to be one of the most fundamental reforms in police functioning. In the longer term, it will impact the attitudes and behaviour of citizens, police, government, media and many kinds of pressure groups." Anil Agrawal, AdG (iteccS), uttar pradesh police
Citizens may also upload pictures or videos which are tagged with their calls and forwarded to concerned police station electronically for taking cognizance. The robust IT system creates a detailed digital trail of all activities. The UP 100 system is unique in many ways. Most fundamentally, it is citizen centric.

the police jurisdictions of any point on the ground with accuracy. This forms the solid bed-rock of the CAD system.
The emergency response system has a robust IT framework for management of information and prompt response to the needs of the citizen. The IT solution automates all the processes that are part of emergency handling and has the ability of scaling-up the architecture according to future requirements. The architecture principle followed has enabled increased process agility, improved process workflows, enhanced reuse, and enabled longer life span of applications.
MAPPING THE STATE DIGITALLY UP100 GIS DATA COLLECTION APP Another important prerequisite for a computer aided dispatch system to work is a detailed digital map of the whole jurisdiction, so that places may be identified properly.
The best in the industry have partnered with UP Police for the establishment of this entire system: Ernst & Young LLP (EY) as consultants, Mahindra Defence
The existing mapping services cover urban areas, where reasonably detailed maps are available. However, when the project covers the semi-urban and rural areas, only sketchy details are available on existing maps. UP 100 covers the entire state with a total of 2,40,000 sqkm of area; only 6,200 sqkm is urban area. Hence it was imperative that detailed mapping be

CONTACT CENTRE: UP100 is a Contact Centre, enabling communications from citizens on all media – phone, sms, email, web-chat, social media, etc. Dial 100 systems usually take only phone calls. GEOGRAPHICAL REACH: UP100 caters to the entire urban and rural areas of the State. Dial 100 systems take calls typically from either urban or rural area of that district. RESOURCES: UP100 has been provided with sufficient material and human resources to ensure availability of operational 100 numbers round the clock in a reliable manner. Many Dial 100 systems lack necessary resources to answer calls anytime. done. We took upon ourselves to map the entire state extensively. The following facilities are available under ROIP: • The Dispatch Officers at UP100 at Lucknow can communicate directly with police response vehicles (PRVs) and police stations on existing radio network. • Video conferencing facility is also available at all RoIP locations. UP 100 Lucknow can have multiparty video conferencing. • All digital wireless sets are fitted with GPS device and location of a particular PRV can be tracked in digital mode.
JULY 2017
UP100 APP The UP100 App provides an easy medium of accessing the UP100 services. When you register your personal details, UP100 can reach you faster in case of any emergency. You may register ‘My Emergency Contacts’, who will be notified in case of an emergency. When you register ‘My Locations’, it will assist the police reach the location quickly in case of an emergency.
www.asindia.in
CITIZEN PORTAL The UP100 portal up100.uppolice.gov.in is a portal for citizens to easily interact with UP100 system. It provides functionalities for registration of citizens for easy access to emergency services, tracking emergency calls, uploading documents, images and
72
videos relating to their actionable calls. Citizens may access emergency services through webchat on this portal. The portal also acts as the Public Information Centre and disseminates information useful for public security. It also provides links to all social media presence of UP100. POLICE APP Mobile Police App has been designed for all field supervisory police officers to use the application to monitor events and vehicles in their jurisdiction. With a secured login id and password, field officers can view actions taken on particular event type, digitally view vehicles and monitor them on either available or dispatch mode. The introduction of supervisory module helps in management of emergency service at district level. This also gives a sense of ownership to field officers who are required to take cognizance of events recorded in their jurisdiction and evaluate performance of the PRVs. UP100 IS FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT FROM DIAL 100 STATE LEVEL VS DISTRICT LEVEL: UP100 is a State Level Contact Centre for receiving distress calls relating to public safety. Dial 100 refers to a district level police control room, catering to one district.
SUPERVISION: UP100 has a dedicated organization to supervise operations and ensure quality of service. Dial 100 systems are supervised by local officers overburdened with other work. UNIFORM LEVEL OF SERVICE: UP100 provides uniform level of service to citizens residing in different areas of the State. Dial 100 systems differ in level of service provided to citizens depending on its local leadership, commitment, ownership, supervision and work processes. DIGITAL RECORD-KEEPING: UP100 keeps a detailed digital trail of all activities and responses at different levels, thus ensuring accountability across all levels. Dial 100 systems usually do not have such detailed audit trails. INDEPENDENCE FROM LOCAL POLICE: UP100 personnel responding to emergencies are directly under its operational control, thus free of local influences. Dial 100 systems are operated by district level police, usually drawing personnel from the jurisdictional police stations. SMART POLICE ORGANISATION In November 2014, Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi exhorted all police organizations to become 'SMART'. He
emphasized that Police should be Strict and Sensitive, Modern and Mobile, Alert and Accountable, Reliable and Responsive, and Trained and Techno-savvy. The Uttar Pradesh State-Wide Police Emergency Management System – UP 100 has made an earnest effort to conform to the PM's idea of SMART Police right from concept until commissioning. The system is designed to be citizen centric, and to reform the police service delivery in a fundamental manner. • Strictness cascades down to all the levels and situations are dealt with sincerely. The calls which land at Lucknow centre are strictly monitored and assured assistance is provided to the distressed person and monitored at number of levels. Strict compliance to Standard Operating Procedures is ensured. • The communication officers (COs) deployed for receiving distress calls are empathetic and Sensitive and diligently pay attention to the problems of the caller. Even the information provided by caller is handled effectively and captured with enhanced technical features. • The Contact Centre is modern, state of art with technology, leadership and innovation as strengthening factors. The system is equipped with modern technology and makes use of geolocations, multiple complaint registration platforms, UP 100 App, etc. UP 100 has huge presence on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram. Citizens are able to upload pictures and videos relating to their emergency calls, which are tagged with their calls. UP 100 sends detailed information about received calls and such documents received to respective Police stations for taking cognizance and further investigations. • More than 3200 Police Response Vehicles (PRVs)are deployed across 75 districts of the state of Uttar Pradesh in first phase and 1600 more two wheelers are being added
in the project. It is truly mobile police, granted with necessary resources to assist citizens anytime, anywhere promptly. • Round the clock availability across the state, irrespective of holidays or bad weather, and quick response time, depicts the alertness of the force.
• The workforce is highly Trained. Police officers at centre as well as at the field level, communication unit and support staff have been trained from 7 days to 21 days on General, Functional, Process, Operational, IT and soft skills.
Mahindra Defence is proud to be a technology partner of Uttar Pradesh Police for UP 100 Emergency Management Services to serve the citizens of Uttar Pradesh." Shri Prakash Shukla, Group president, Aerospace & defence mahindra & mahindra
• Accountability, transparency and impartiality are the cornerstones of the system. A citizen makes first contact with non-police officers, each conversation is recorded prior to police intervention, and a detailed digital trail of all responses at each level is created by the system, thus making police fully accountable. • The technology solution is robust, has sufficient redundancies and is provided with necessary resources to be reliably available to citizens all the time. • As a true responsive system, UP100 eliminates the need for citizens to go to the police station, and responds by physically sending the 'Police Response Vehicle' (PRV) to each actionable call.
• UP100 is Techno-savvy system as it has scalability and appropriate redundancy in the architecture. There is access to real time information on mobile and webapplication by field Police personnel. Mobile application for citizens to raise SOS in utmost emergency is also provided.Data Centre has been established at Lucknow while Disaster Recovery centre has been established at Bangalore. The system uses latest in technology and has many innovations in its process designs.

INDUSTRY REPORT
Goods and Service Tax(GST) in Security and Safety Sector Goods and Service Tax in Security and Safety Sector can be decoded by careful study of GST structure. By Arindam Bhadra
tax credit of CGST would be available for discharging the CGST liability on the output at each stage. Similarly, the credit of SGST paid on inputs would be allowed for paying the SGST on output. No cross utilization of credit would be permitted.
Arindam Bhadra,
eSecurity professional and Blogger
GST is purported to bring in the ‘one nation one tax one rate’ system. Its effect on various industries will be slightly different. There would be multiple statues whereby there could be one for Centre and one for State similar to the present VAT laws which are enacted in each state. Actualy GST is a single tax on the supply of goods and services, right from the manufacturer to the consumer. Credits of input taxes paid at each stage will be available in the subsequent stage of value addition, which makes GST essentially a tax only on value addition at each stage. The final consumer will thus bear only the GST charged by the last dealer in the supply chain, with set-off benefits at all the previous stages.
JULY 2017
A senior industry player emphatically asked, “How can you ask the consumer to pay Rs.28000 as GST on a sale of Rs. 1 Lakh? It’s just too much! Keeping in mind the federal structure of India, there will be two components of GST – Central GST (CGST) and State GST (SGST). Both Centre and States will simultaneously levy GST across the value chain.

Tax will be levied on every supply of goods and services. Centre would levy and collect Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST), and States would levy and collect the State Goods and Services Tax (SGST) on all transactions within a State. The input

GST rates for goods at nil rate, 5%, 12%, 18% and 28% to be levied on certain goods. Products like CCTV Cameras and Recorders, Burglar and Fire Alarm systems and other related security gadgets falling under Chapter 85 of the Harmonised System of Nomenclature (HSN), which are considered as life safety goods have been placed in the highest bracket of 28% in the GST!
What is shocking is that the government has clubbed these in the same bracket as entertainment electronics and other white goods. Significantly the government in its quest for developing its Smart City Projects’ will need an active assistance of private players in security industry for installation of CCTV cameras, alarm systems and other life safety systems and if these are bracketed with other luxury products with a slab of 28% taxation, the price of these will automatically skyrocket. This say experts will almost certainly result in people shying away in installing these products, leading to more insecurity. GST rates revised for 66 items when the GST Council met on
11th June 2017 (Sunday). There have been countless recommendations from states and industries to reduce the rates on certain items. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said that the rates were revised because the main idea behind GST rates was to maintain the rates as close to the original taxes. In some cases, this was not occurring. In some items, the reduction was required because of the changing nature of the economy and changes in consumer preference. These items were earlier placed under high rates of GST (18-28%). On studying the list, it can be found that these items are necessities and not luxuries and so the GST council has reduced the tax rate on these essential items. For example, items like spectacles, exercise books and note books are a part of everyday life and cannot be placed in the highest tax bracket of 28% along with cars and cigarettes. In special economic zones (SEZs) will lose some inherent advantages because there is no provision for upfront tax exemptions in the GST bill but “GST” could also generate business for large and small IT companies as organizations across the country reconfigure their IT systems to adhere to the new tax regime. Till now the accounting software were restricted to just the Chartered Accountants, other than them everybody was either manually
doing the invoicing or were bound to the traditional ways of invoicing. So, with GST thing everybody has to come down to an invoicing platform. So idea is to make it as simple as possible, yet compliant. So, everybody can use it from a layman and being compliant as well to the GST norms. All services such as registrations, returns and payments will be available to the taxpayers online, which would make compliance easy and transparent. GST will help India improve its ranking in the ease of doing business. The major features of the proposed payments procedures under GST are as follows:
• Electronic payment process- no generation of paper at any stage • Single point interface for challan generation- GSTN • Ease of payment – payment can be made through online banking, Credit Card/Debit Card, NEFT/RTGS and through cheque/cash at the bank • Common challan form with autopopulation features • Use of single challan and single payment instrument • Common set of authorized banks • Common Accounting Codes

Delcom Infotech: Your Latest Guide to Global Security Practices
Delcom Infotech, a newly formed digital magazine, resolves to elaborate on the latest advancements in the security sector by providing enterprising audiences with sound and positive security solutions from across the globe. Submitted by delcom teleSyStemS
Ravindra Singh, managing director, delcom telesystems rapidly changing and increasingly complex security landscape has implored organisations across the world to harden their network infrastructure and maximize the value of the security solution. In today’s overarching mechanism of fighting security threats, both virtual and physical, new and innovative surveillance technologies hold substantial weight and therefore must be regarded as fundamental. Upfront planning, coupled with sound policies and procedures, can assist organisations significantly in overcoming various security threats. While no organisation can fully mitigate these threats, staying abreast of global technologies and developments can lead to a ‘state of readiness’ crucial in the fight against them. Delcom Infotech, a newly formed and created digital online magazine, aims to serve this notion by highlighting the increasingly modifying fields of communications, surveillance and networking service industries, with a fierce focus on global technology and methods. The digital magazine’s primary objective is to elucidate the masses on the latest intricacies in global technologies, related to IP surveillance, unified communication, audio/video Integration, PA systems, and
IT network integration, to name a few. Published by Delcom Telesystems, a long standing technology provider in the security sector, the vision of Delcom Infotech is to establish one’s presence, in order to identify and report on technologies in the Americas, which will provide enterprising audiences in India (and other neighboring Asian countries) with sound and positive solutions. Conscious about the quality offered to viewers, the digital online magazine publication team will provide: featured articles, editorials, photography, high resolution videos/ film, live footage interviews/ speakers, blogging opportunities to the public, business to business link, membership and social media outlets, conventions, and advertising. Delcom Telesystems aims to position Delcom Infotech as one of the leading online magazines in the world, with a substantial audience in the USA and India within the first 10 years of its initiation. The magazine, which shall print an initial issue in September/December 2017, is directed at companies throughout India, the United States and other countries that deal in communications. Delcom Telesystems hopes to emulate its prestige with Delcom Infotech by developing the same trusty rapport with its online viewers and members as it has with its many long lasting clients. Having collaborated with some of the leading giants in this industry such as Microsoft, Sony, Bosch, Avaya, CISCO, Siemens, Polycom, Crestron, Pelco, Milestone, Juniper and Videonetics, Delcom has robust plans to embrace the practices of these companies by featuring their latest happenings in its new online publication. Delcom Infotech is for all individuals invested in telecommunications and media systems. The magazine has a commitment to be a platform to profile
companies who are representing telecommunication system vision in the marketplace and who can both encourage and provide role models to other men and women. It will also show the latest technology and new and upcoming systems being created and used around the world. With this venture, Delcom Telesystems aims to be a vessel to inform persons/companies about telecommunication and principles in everyday business and will encourage interaction in the industry by engaging a large number of stakeholders.

Technology Evolution in Video Surveillance for the Next Decade The most effective security systems provide actionable intelligence — bringing together the right combination of new technologies and existing, into an integrated solution that connects all critical systems and processes, and delivers the right information. Ami Goradia, Director, COM-SUr
Ami Goradia, Director, Knowledge Properties, COM-SUR itnessing leaps and bounds in technological progress brings forth optimism and a sense of security about the future. Having witnessed the profound effects that wireless communications, the Internet, enterprise applications and various other technologies have recently had on different industry verticals, technology will be the source of continued disruption to markets and industries in the coming decade.
JULY 2017
www.asindia.in
One such industry that is going to witness a tremendous upsurge in innovative new technology is the Video Surveillance Industry. In light of recent horrific events, there is a critical need for people to feel secure – whether at work or at play, at home or when travelling. Hence the CCTV market has enjoyed a healthy growth for many years due to the many threats we continue to face both in our personal lives and our business activities. Governments and critical infra structure facilities too need to feel secure. This has led to escalating business at both ends of the spectrum: from mega surveillance systems to small-scale surveillance installations. Cities have now installed thousands of surveillance cameras within their limits, and retailers have installed hundreds of cameras in their stores and this trend will only continue to grow. Governments and research companies
80
are spending time, money and effort to provide security measures to mitigate terror and crime threats. According to a research report by ASIS (American Society for Industrial Security), USA spends nearly $300 billion a year on security, or two percent of its GDP. The vast majority of those funds however, till date, are earmarked for human resources such as is security guards, police and others. Only a very small fraction is spent on cameras and other security equipment. That should change with new technologies entering into the post video analysis market. Despite tremendous leaps since the birth of the CCTV camera 21 years ago, video intelligence has not yet reached fruition. The rather slow growth in this vertical thus far has stemmed from the general immaturity of the technology in post surveillance video analytics. This however should make giant strides within the next few years, in fact, quite immediately within a year or so, with an innovative new thought process and a consequent breakthrough advancement in real time as well as post analysis of CCTV camera feeds. When surveillance cameras first entered the market, their job was to simply provide an extra pair of eyes. But now we harness their processing power as well, giving them both brains and a memory, but under the watchful supervision of actual human eyes. In a contest between man and machine, it quickly becomes evident that intelligent network video alone will not work; from visual perception to attention span, from memory capacity to situational analysis, surveillance technology supervised and superseded by the human brain will continue to help raise the bar for the CCTV industry as a whole. Living in an increasingly explosive and dangerous world, the key to prevention and solving terror and crime will largely depend on what the cameras are ‘seeing’, and how
the data unleashed thereby is ‘seen’, and ‘interpreted’, a key thought process which until now has been completely overlooked, despite great strides in cameras themselves and some amount of artificial intelligence trying to find its place in video analytics. A PRESSING NEED FOR CHANGE This leads us to think as to why is the rate of crime increasing proportionally with the increase in number of cameras when in fact inverse should be the case. The trouble lies in the fact that despite research taking great strides in the quality of the cameras, and large funds being invested in artificial intelligence for post video surveillance, there are plenty of BASIC pain points that are being completely overlooked. The current pain points of the CCTV videosurveillance industry: • CCTV is ‘fit and forget’ • Actual footage from the CCTV is NEVER audited daily • Humongous data storage and band width requirements • False alerts, video blindness, poor situational awareness • No easy way to search through hours of video • No standardised reporting system of the same • Diverse, expensive, and complicated software, especially for small establishments and home users • No back up of video footage and easy retrieval thereof • No global standard of auditing of the data accumulated • No ease of sharing of such data What should be the outcomes or pay offs from CCTV? • Crime, loss, and fraud prevention • Solving crime faster • Enhancement of compliance, processes, and safety • Gaining better situational awareness • Obtaining actionable intelligence • Improvement of operational efficiency
• Improvement of staff performance, customer satisfaction, and salesWe continue to see acts of terrorism, violence, abuse of children, theft, other crimes, and process violations. WHY? This is because we FAIL to ‘SEE’ what the cameras ‘SAW’. So we now realise that despite huge research, a BASIC AND MAJOR FLAW has been overlooked. The last and the biggest missing piece of the post-video analysis is DAILY AUDITING. Hence, there is a PRESSING NEED for a Smart Back-Up, Daily Auditing, And Standardized Reporting System for CCTV cameras. Such a system should be created which can eventually benefit the user, viz., governments, law enforcement agencies, etc. in many ways: • Preventing and resolving crimes fast • Remote storage that will NOT require additional bandwidth (savings) • Effective disaster recovery • Data would NOT be overwritten, only relevant data storage • Ease of sharing footage data with law enforcement agencies • Audited data should be in a globally acceptable and standardized format • Due to only relevant storage, huge benefits should accrue to the user • Analysis of video content should provide actionable intelligence • Post facto video analysis should lead to better situational awareness • Fraud, loss, crime should be averted • Safety processes should be complied within the institution • Safety of the people, brand, assets should
be assured • Crimes should be solved faster, with ease of sharing of footage data with law enforcement agencies • Daily audit reports should deliver patterns that lead to business intelligence • Undisputed visual evidence • Investigation / forensics made easy • Lesser wastage Such a system eventually leads a commercial establishment to: • Customer and employee satisfaction • Insights into employee performance Thereby leading to an efficient workplace and increased productivity. The most effective security systems provide actionable intelligence — bringing together the right combination of new technologies and existing, into an integrated solution that connects all critical systems and processes, and delivers the right information. THE INDIAN SCENARIO India has emerged as one of the most promising markets for electronic security systems in last six years. It has increased tremendously in recent years on account of rising security concerns, primarily related to terrorism threats and increasing crime rates. Additionally, India’s video surveillance market is also driven by increasing IT spending coupled with government initiatives. Amongst all electronic security systems, video surveillance systems have captured key share of the market pie. The Indian surveillance market is witnessing immense growth from sectors such as government initiatives like city surveillance, airport security, commercial verticals like hospitality, BFSI, retail, BPO, manufacturing, education sector like college
campuses and schools, infrastructure companies. About 87% of surveillance needs are for commercial purpose, whereas 13% are for residential. Individual consumers are also looking at electronic surveillance as an investment today. The safety and security of one’s home is a prime concern for any home owner. In fact, the government is the biggest segment in terms of volume demand in the Indian surveillance market with its initiatives such as city surveillance, Smart Cities, investments in public infrastructure, increasing crime, terror threats, and increased security awareness. Critical assets require new ways of thinking about their protection due to new emerging threats to their safety and security. The Government sector is seeing large scale deployments in the Smart City sector. The combination of surveillance with ICT is creating a brand new and smart security infrastructure that not only provides maximum security to the smart cities, but can aid the government as an analytical tool. One can keep track of criminal zones, traffic flows, climate changes, etc. through this technology, along with tracking agriculture, forests, coastal zones, etc. This greatly helps reduce problems faced by citizens in everyday lives, and the government can now provide warnings in advance, and also provide succour and amenities based on real-time data. The Government is and will remain the biggest consumer of brand new and exciting innovations in the video surveillance industry, chiefly due to the enormity of its projects. This will be followed by the enterprise segment, and last but not the least, the home segment. This segment cannot be undermined, as housing societies have realized the importance of security and more and more of the CHSs are installing security devices for the safety of their members. Consumers, whether in the home segment or enterprise are no longer interested in low cost ‘Fit and forget’ CCTV cameras. They want simple yet sophisticated solutions for their individual requirements due to increase in crime rates, and are willing to invest in new technologies that can help them be safer. Undoubtedly it will be the Government and the law enforcement agencies that will prove to be the growth propeller for the surveillance industry, closely followed by the enterprise and home segments.

Forty “Special” Years of Friendship and Family at the Special Olympics United Technologies celebrated its 40th year supporting Special Olympics of Connecticut with many longtime employees to commemorate this milestone. SuBMITTED BY uTC FIRE & SECuRITY
JULY 2017
t’s hard to paint a picture of why volunteering is more than community service until you’re living it. Specifically, when it comes to volunteering at the Special Olympics, it goes beyond simply being an extra helping hand; it’s ultimately about extending a hand of friendship to the athletes. Yet, when you’ve been extending that same hand for 37, 38 or even 39 years, it becomes more than just friendship – it’s family. United Technologies celebrated its 40th year supporting Special Olympics of Connecticut with many longtime employees continuing their legacy of commitment and their time and hearts to this event.
www.asindia.in
“I volunteered for the first time in 1983, and it is a blessing and a reward to give my encouragement and friendship to these athletes,” said Nancy Hemingway, UTC. Employees like Nancy represent the best of UTC – hardworking and genuine. She is one example of how several employees
86
across the company have been returning year after year. Another longtime volunteer, Bob Gallipeau, reiterates the bonds that are formed through the games. “Special Olympics has been part of my life for more than 35 years. I’ve made many friends, who in some cases, I may only see once a year at the games,” Gallipeau said. “I also enjoy helping others whether it’s the committee members, volunteers or athletes; everybody is part of my extended family. At times, Special Olympics may be hard work, but we still have fun.” Serving this event for some stemmed from serving their country. For example, Brian Miniter, is both a veteran volunteer and a U.S. Army veteran who champions that importance of paying it forward. “I have survived both Vietnam and Iraq, so I feel strongly that I should give of myself. I have been doing Special ¬Olympics for 39 years and it has made me a better person.”
