Infrastructure races to keep up with connectivity at the edge. Distributed IT and the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are pushing IT resources closer to users and industrial processes. While the data center remains core to delivering applications and services, such as point of sale and inventory management, network closets and micro data centers are growing in number and importance as internet-connected sensors and devices proliferate and remote users demand faster access to information. Responding to these changes, organizations will turn to preconfigured micro data center solutions that support fast deployment, greater standardization and remote management across distributed IT locations. Standardization and modularity are becoming as important in distributed IT locations as they are in large data centers.
Existing network closets and remote IT locations will also be re-evaluated to ensure the power and cooling provisions are adequate to meet the increased criticality of these locations as they begin to provide localized collection and analysis of realtime data from connected sensors and devices.

Precision Engineering Works : Multistage Multi Outlet Pump, Vertical Turbine Precision Engineering works is one of the prominent Manufacturers, Suppliers and Exporters of premium-quality Industrial Motors & Pumps. Here we are showcasing there two product offerings submitted by precesion ENGINEERING WORKS
Multistage Multi Outlet Pump • Construction of high-rise buildings is on the increase in major cities. The heights of the buildings are rising constantly as ground space becomes even more precious. If only one riser were to be installed in a high rise building then the lower sprinkler ranges would have to find a way to overcome the high pressure needed to satisfy the demands of the highest level at which sprinklers are installed. High pressures are required from the pump to supply the top levels of a high-rise building to overcome the high static distance to the highest sprinkler ranges. This means that the pressures to the lower ranges will be higher than the system components and sprinkler head can handle. • Conventional installation procedures cannot be applied and the contractor has the option of fitting pressure reducing valves or zoning the area to eliminate high pressures on the lower ranges. As pressure reducing valves are not recommended for this purpose under many fire authority rules and the sprinkler rules specifically state that they should only be used for this application when absolutely necessary, zoning becomes the correct method of installation, with certain rules also insisting on a maximum zone height of 45m. • The way of meeting these requirements is by utilizing one single multi-stage, multi-outlet pump which can supply the fire protection needs of an entire building complex. This pump has outlets at various stages of the pump, which will pump up to various levels of the building at the lower and higher pressures required through the separate risers. SPECIFICATIONS • Max. Capacity 4500 LPM • Max. Head 300 mtr • Max. Power Drive 350 HP • Max. Outlet Size 200mm • Rated RPM 1450, 2900 rpm • No. of Outlets 1, 2, 3 ADVANTAGES • Fewer pumps required • Less pipe work and valves • No water storage tanks on intermediate floors
• Lower structural loads/costs • Energy efficient • More building space to utilize for car park, etc,. APPLICATIONS • Sprinkler systems • Hydrant systems • Deluge systems • Monitor systems • Water curtain
Vertical Turbine • Vertical turbine pump does not require a water source that provides a positive suction pressure. As such, this type of pump is able to operate without priming. • The typical supplies for these pumps are underground tanks or wells. When operating, these pumps force water up through the column pipe to the pump discharge. • The line shaft turbine pumps have above-ground discharge. SPECIFICATIONS • Max. Flow 20,000 LPM • Max. Head 300 mtr • Power Range 7.5 to 300HP • Rated Speed 1450 rpm • Outlet Sizes 50, 60, 75, 100, 150mm ADVANTAGES • Minimum use of floor space. • The NPSH available can be the lowest level to satisfy the NPSH requirements of the pump. • No priming required, the pump bowl assembly is submerged in the fluid being pumped. • This type of pump is highly versatile and adaptable in terms of both location and pump length. APPLICATIONS The vertical turbine pump is ideal for: • Fire fighting • Agricultural pumping • Municipal and plant water supply • Drainage • Flood control • Pipeline pumping • Power plant service

High Temperature Ranges in TICs: Common Pitfalls Firefighters sometimes have to face extreme temperatures while on the job. Luckily, they can rely on thermal imaging cameras (TIC) to find victims faster or to seek their way out of a building in such circumstances. In an attempt to choose equipment with the best specifications, firefighters sometimes go for cameras that are able to display very high temperature ranges, up to +1,100°C (+2,000ºF), in a so-called third-gain mode. This is not a good idea. In fact, there are very good reasons why some thermal imaging cameras do not have a third gain mode, and only measure up to +650°C (+1,202ºF). submitted by FLIR

This is not a good idea. In fact, there are very good reasons why some thermal imaging cameras do not have a third gain mode, and only measure up to +650°C (+1,202ºF) FEBRUARY 2017
www.asindia.in
Choosing the right thermal camera model is often a complex exercise of spec comparison, such as image resolution, camera sensitivity and temperature range. Simply put, the temperature range indicates the minimum and maximum temperatures that a camera can measure. As an example, FLIR’s K-Series cameras accurately measure temperatures between -20°C and +650°C (-4 to +1,202°F). Other brands will measure maximum temperatures up to +1,100°C, tempting the unwary buyer into a story of
32
‘more is better’. Although these numbers might seem spectacular to an equipment buyer, in today’s state-of-the-art thermal imaging technology, high temperatures come at the expense of image quality. And for a firefighter, image quality can make the difference between life and death. What you should you know about high temperature ranges in TICs Dangerous loss of image quality The term ‘temperature range’ is a bit misleading. What is more important for a firefighter is the Effective Temperature Range (ETR), which measures the range of temperatures that a TIC can view while still providing useful information to the user. Specifically, extreme heat in the field of view tends to inhibit a TIC’s ability to discern surfaces having intermediate temperatures and details. This loss in image quality and reduction in contrast can have severe consequences for a firefighter, because there’s a chance of missing out objects that are located in the lower temperature range, such as victims or escape routes. Firefighting cameras usually have a highsensitivity and a low-
sensitivity mode. In absence of a fire, the TIC will operate in high-sensitivity mode, presenting the thermal environment in all its detail. In case of FLIR’s K-Series cameras, the high-sensitivity mode measures temperatures up to +150°C (+302ºF). In case of a fire incident, the camera will switch to low-sensitivity mode, which offers a wellbalanced and acceptable trade-off between lower sensitivity (less detail) and the ability to monitor higher surface temperatures. For FLIR’s K-Series cameras, low-sensitivity mode measures

temperatures up to +650°C (+1,202ºF). Measuring even higher temperatures – beyond +650°C (+1,202ºF) – would mean shifting to an even lower-sensitivity mode (a so-called third gain mode), where higher temperatures can be measured at the expense of image detail and contrast, leading to unacceptable image quality loss. A third gain mode might prevent firefighters from seeing victims, colleagues or escape routes, which is a serious safety and rescue issue. The myth of predicting flashovers Thermal imaging cameras are sometimes believed to be able to predict flashovers. They are not. A flashover will occur at an air temperature that is way beyond +500°C (+932ºF). But even with a TIC that measures in a higher temperature range than +500°C (+932ºF), you will not be able to predict the flashover, because a thermal imaging camera detects differences in surface temperature, not air temperature. There is no black and white answer as to why flashovers occur. Flashovers are hardly predictable and even when the ideal/ typical flashover conditions
K-Series TICs are designed to withstand the toughest firefighting conditions. Above: a flame test with a FLIR K65 to test NFPA 1801-2013 durability requirements.
are present, a flashover might not occur. A thermal imaging camera might be useful to identify preflashover conditions through reasoned image interpretation. But for now, the only way to be prepared for an imminent flashover is through exhaustive firefighter training, and by carefully observing the environment. Predicting melting steel structures? Thermal imaging cameras are sometimes said to be able to predict when steel will start to melt and bend. This could especially be useful in firefighting scenes with industrial buildings which often have a steel framework. However, this would still be very difficult, even with thermal imaging cameras that can measure up to +1,100°C (+2,000ºF), since the melting point of steel actually is a lot higher (around +1,400°C (+2,500°F)). Will my FLIR TIC survive higher temperatures? FLIR K-Series cameras do not present temperature differences beyond +650°C (+1,202ºF). Instead, red colorization is used to warn the firefighter about present danger.
FLIR offers a wide range of R&D cameras that can distinguish temperature changes as subtle as 0.02°C in a temperature range from -80°C to 3,000°C (-112ºF to +5,432ºF). Below: a FLIR SC8000 capturing an F-18 aircraft taking off.
A FLIR K55 camera in low-sensitivity mode, offering a wellbalanced and acceptable trade-off between lower sensitivity (less detail) and the ability to monitor higher surface temperatures.
In this case, the FLIR TIC will simply indicate ‘>650°C’ (>1202°F) in the display, while staying in the well-balanced low sensitivity mode, without sacrificing image detailing. K-Series TICs are designed to withstand the toughest firefighting conditions. They can take a 2-meter drop onto a concrete floor, are water resistant (IP67), and remain fully operational up to +260°C (+500°F) for a fiveminute duration. The K65 complies fully with the NFPA 1801:2013 standard for firefighting thermal imaging cameras. When does a high temperature range make sense? Unlike TICs for firefighting, there are numerous applications where a high temperature reading does make sense. In an industrial and manufacturing environment, FLIR thermal cameras are used to see through flames and to monitor refractory quality of boiler and furnace installations. Cameras like the FLIR T640 for example can read temperatures from -40°C to +2,000°C (-40°F to +3,632°F) with an accuracy of just ±2%. In some research and development environments, like microelectronics, automotive, plastics, and mechanical testing, high temperature performance is important. FLIR offers a wide range of R&D cameras that can distinguish temperature changes as subtle as 0.02°C in a temperature range.

Scope for Industrial Gas Detectors in Indian Market Various industries use processes which can leak hazardous gases. Gases like Hydrogen, Hydrocarbons, Methane etc are inflammable and cause serious accidents. by REALTY AUTOMATION & SECURITY SYSTEMS
he purpose of this article is to have awareness & importance of Industrial Gas leak detectors in industrial market segment. By implementing gas detectors in industries even if one plant save during crisis, the objective of this paper would be served.
FEBRUARY 2017
www.asindia.in
Gas detectors measure and indicate the concentration of certain gases in an air via different technologies. Typically employed to prevent toxic exposure and fire, gas detectors are often battery operated devices used for safety purposes. They are manufactured as portable or stationary (fixed) units and work by signifying high levels of gases through a series of audible or visible indicators, such as alarms, lights or a combination of signals. While many
34
of the older, standard gas detector units were originally fabricated to detect one gas, modern multifunctional or multi-gas devices are capable of detecting several gases at once. Some detectors may be utilized as individual units to monitor small workspace areas, or units can be combined or linked together to create a protection system. As detectors measure a specified gas concentration, the sensor response serves as the reference point or scale. When the sensors response surpasses a certain pre-set level, an alarm will activate to warn the user. There are various types of detectors available and the majority serves the same function: to monitor and warn of a dangerous gas level. However, when considering what
type of detector to install, it is helpful to consider the different sensor technologies. Gas Detector Technologies Gas detectors are categorized by the type of gas they detect: combustible or toxic. Within this broad categorization, they are further defined by the technology they use: catalytic and infrared sensors detect combustible gases and electrochemical and metal oxide semiconductor technologies generally detect toxic gases. Measurement of Combustible Gases Catalytic sensors represent a large number of gas detector devices that are manufactured today. This technology is used to detect combustible gases such as hydrocarbon, and works via
catalytic oxidation. The sensors of this type of detector are typically constructed from a platinum treated wire coil. As a combustible gas comes into contact with the catalytic surface, it is oxidized and the wiring resistance is changed by heat that is released. A bridge circuit is typically used to indicate the resistance change. Infrared sensors or IR detectors work via a system of transmitters and receivers to detect combustible gases, specifically hydrocarbon vapors. Typically, the transmitters are light sources and receivers are light detectors. If a gas is present in the optical path, it will interfere with the power of the light transmission between the transmitter and receiver. The altered state of light determines if and what type of gas is present. Common Gas Detector Applications Although detectors are an essential application for home and commercial safety, they are also employed in numerous industrial industries. Gas detectors are used in welding shops to detect combustibles and toxics and in nuclear plants, to detect combustibles. They are also commonly used to detect hazardous vapors in wastewater treatment plants. Gas detectors are very efficient in confined spaces where there is no continuous employee occupancy. Such spaces include tanks, pits, vessels and storage bins. Detectors may also be placed at a site to detect toxins prior to occupant entry. The chemical industry is a major player in the global economy,
Leak Detection Leaks are an ever-present hazard even in the best run chemical plants. Depending on the severity of the leak and the gas involved, the effects can potentially be very serious both within and without the perimeter of the plant. An explosion or fire will damage plant and put workers at risk, while toxic gases can spread rapidly, also putting the public at risk. Even a minor small leak has an economic impact on the plant’s profitability as material is being wasted and the fault has to be rectified. To monitor for leaks, fixed gas detectors are integrated into the plant at key weak points such as valves, joints and pumps. The sensors used will obviously depend on the nature of the gas to be detected. For flammable gases, pellistors are widely used. This sensor works by burning the target gas; the heat generated producing a change in the resistance of the detecting element of the sensor proportional to the gas concentration. To detect hydrocarbons, NDIR sensors are widely used. Ultrasonic gas leak detectors measure the ultrasonic sound level, typically between 25 kHz to 10 MHz frequencies. Ultrasonic gas detectors are mainly used for outdoor environments where weather conditions can easily dissipate escaping gas before allowing it to reach gas leak detectors that require contact with the gas in order to detect it. These detectors are most useful in facilities with a lot of outdoor pipeline. Vighnaharta is the leading manufacturers of all types of Industrial gas detectors with Catalytic, Infrared & electrochemical sensors. We are Make in India Company & presenting
‘First Time in India, Infrared Type Industrial Gas leak detector’ for Hydro Carbon. Some Salient Features: 1) Fast Speed of response. 2) Immune to catalytic poisons. 3) High Reliability & Repeatability. 4) Heated optics eliminates condensation. 5) Ability to operate in the absence of oxygen or in enriched oxygen. Conclusions:As this brief overview shows, the gas sensor industry has developed a number of different technologies, each of which has strengths and weaknesses for use in specific applications. All manufacturers share a common purpose in improving the effectiveness of life and property protection in potentially dangerous environments. Advances in sensor design are generally aimed at producing faster response, greater specificity, better stability, longer life and greater reliability. In capital-intensive industries such as the chemical sector, which produces toxic, corrosive, explosive and flammable gases as a matter of routine, plant protection rightly has a very high priority. Add in the duty of care to the workforce, a reduction in emissions to reduce environmental damage and the need to prevent leaks that could affect the local population, the benefits from using today’s gas detection advanced technology have never been more obvious. Thinking about new products & solutions which would make this world better to live.

outbreak in various parts of India like in hospitals, buildings, factories, refineries etc and thousands of lives and assets worth billions are lost in such accidents. In spite of fire & safety norms do exist in the country, the implementation on ground is minimal. Various fire safety audits have concluded that majority of commercial establishments lack proper compliance of basic fire prevention norms. The scenario is quite similar in the country’s residential sector as well. Lack of proper implementation of stringent norms has resulted in the emergence of huge unorganised market that dominates the fire & safety equipment market in the country.

Security
evolves to resolve emerging New
Challenges By Anant Joshi, a&s India
FEBRUARY 2017
www.asindia.in
The BFSI Sector in India is rapidly evolving with recent challenges like Demonetization and Remonetisation. The Indian banking system is expanding with 26 public sector banks, 20 private sector banks, 43 foreign banks, 56 regional rural banks, 1,589 urban cooperative banks and 93,550 rural cooperative banks, in addition to cooperative credit institutions. India’s growing BFSI sector also includes vast number of NBFC companies, Insurance and financial service institutions. India’s demonetization could be the push the country needs to move to digital banking, but it will take more concerted government efforts to promote a long-term transition. These recent developments open up a huge opportunity for BFSI security solution providers. a&s India is presenting the ideas from the best and brightest minds on innovations in the BFSI security solutions space. 40
overview
On 8 November 2016, the Government of India announced the demonetization of all 500 and 1,000 banknotes. The government claimed that the action would curtail the shadow economy and crack down on the use of illicit and counterfeit cash to fund illegal activity and terrorism. The sudden nature of the announcement created significant disruption throughout the economy. The demonetization had adverse impact on the Terrorist Activities, Human Trafficking and Hawala transactions. Indian banks are increasingly focusing on adopting integrated approach to risk management. Banks have already embraced the international banking supervision accord of Basel II. According to RBI, majority of the banks already meet capital requirements of Basel III, which has a deadline of March 31, 2019. Most of the banks have put in place the framework for assetliability match, credit and derivatives risk management.

India Post Payments Bank is the third entity to receive payments bank permit after Bharti Airtel and Paytm. Since April 2014, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has granted 23 banking licences to new players - two were given universal banking licences (April 2, 2014), 11 were issued payments banks licences (August 19, 2015) and 10 were given licences for small finance banks (September 16, 2015). The niche banks small finance and payments banks -have been set up to further the regulator’s objective of deepening financial inclusion. Going ahead, RBI is planning to come up with “on tap” licences which means there will not be any cut-off date for applying for the licences.

All the digital payment wallets like PayTm, MobiKwik, Momoe,PayUMoney,Citrus, State Bank Buddy, Citi MasterPass, Oxygen, ICICI Pockets, HDFC Chillr and others, saw app downloads going up by many times. The popularity of Unified Payment Interface (UPI) apps for SBI, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Union Bank, Yes Bank, PNB and others surged exponentially. Too many good apps are available out there to make digital payments. But the BHIM App is the top payment apps among them with 125 lakh users. The reason for its reputation is its faster speed and more secure service than any other app.
The new Unvisersal Banks include Bandhan Bank and IDFC Bank. The new Payments Banks are as follows: Aditya Birla Nuvo, Fino PayTech,National Securities Depository, Reliance Industries,Sun Pharma-Dilip Shantilal Shanghvi, Tech Mahindra,Vodafone M-pesa, Airtel M Commerce, Department of Posts, PayTM and Cholamandalam Distribution.The new small finance banks include Au Financiers,Suryoday Micro Finance, Capital Local Area Bank, Disha Microfin, Equitas Holdings, ESAF Microfinance and Investments, Ujjivan Financial Services, Janalakshmi Financial Services and Utkarsh Micro Finance.
Payments banks are a new model of banks conceptualised by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). These banks can accept a restricted deposit which is currently limited to INR 1 lakh per customer and may be increased further. These banks cannot issue loans and credit cards. Both current account and savings accounts can be operated by such banks. Payments banks can issue services like ATM cards, debit
All these developments are presenting new set of opportunities for BFSI security solution providers.The risk of online and offline fraud, forgery, fake currency, fake documents and fake financial schemes are growing by the day. The integrated security design will redefine all the disruptive trends along with
The government’s move to withdraw Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes has come as a bonanza for the digital payment solutions startups, which after a period of dramatic growth had begun to see growth rates slow down. With no cash to pay, millions of people who felt cash was safer than digital transactions, or who simply had not thought that digital worth their while, are now downloading payment apps and refilling their digital wallets.

emerging threats. The disruptive trends in financial technologies will be a game changer of sort in terms of security solutions.
Latest Developments
According to Aditya Khemka, CEO & Director, Aditya Infotech, “Over the last few decades, the operating environment of BFSI industry has changed significantly in terms of technological advancements and work flow processes.” There has been continuous technological revolution in the banks and financial institutions in the form of ATMs, core banking, e-banking, mobile banking, and consequently many services came into existence such as Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS), Centralized Fund Management System (CFMS), Public Debt Offices-Negotiated Dealing System (PDO-NDS), Structured Financial Messaging System, Point Of Sales (POS), and use of credit, debit, and smart cards among others.

According to Ashish P. Dhakan, CEO and MD, Prama Hikvision, “The BFSI sector is the most dynamic vertical as it is the nerve centre of economy. It is imperative for banks to quickly recognize and respond to invest in technology solutions that will empower them to scale up to secure their customers, staffs and their belongings. Recent cases of ATM and cash van robberies are clear indication of lapses in security. The biggest challenge is securing all the assets in mission critical mode.”

He further added, “The BFSI sector is facing big technology shift in terms of online and mobile banking. The tech savvy criminals are finding ways to con innocent people by various tricks. The cash in transit or stored in the ATM safe has been the asset traditionally targeted by criminals. However, in the recent cases attackers have turned their attention equally to soft assets present in the ATM, such as PINs and account data.” He further added, “Criminals use this stolen information to produce counterfeit cards to be used for fraudulent transactions —

This has led to a proactive approach towards security of physical assets, intellectual property, data, and compliance and risk management so as to ensure customer confidence and relationship maintenance. And thus, the demand for security governance, policy, and reliable business continuity measures are gaining importance to ensure streamlined operability of business processes and effective customer relationship management.

increasingly around the world — encompassing ATM Withdrawals, purchases with PIN at the point of sale , and purchases without PIN in card – not -present environments.” “PINs and account data are assets belonging to cardholders and issuers. They are inevitably in “clear” form at the ATM, when the card and PIN are entered. By attaching, for example, a pinhole camera and a skimmer to the ATM, a criminal can steal PINs and account data before they can be securely processed by the ATM,” observed Ashish P. Dhakan. According to Capt. S. Kannan, Chief Advisor, Godrej Security Solutions, “Government’s initiative was on two fronts viz Demonetization and Digitization (2 Ds).Banks were the fulcrum in implementation of these two initiatives. The challenge before the Banks were in terms of, cash replenishment at ATMs ( both onsite and off-site) across the country, Vaulting at Currency Chests and Nodal branches, Currency Sorting, Back loading of old currency to RBI and resultantly enhanced physical and electronic security needs not only in the premises but in the channel of distribution of currency.” According to Sunil Rao – Business Unit Head- EnterpriseBFSI,Zicom Electronic Security Systems, “A major development in the Banking sector post Demonetization is that Banks are scouting around for Preservation of HDDs and On demand Retrieval of video footage Unfortunately, Banks in India had never planned for a Standardization of Surveillance Systems and hence when the Controlling agencies like RBI sought the footages, they were in a dilemma to meet this requirement.” He further elaborated, “While few Banks decided to replace the existing DVRs and HDDs with new DVRs and HDDs, and preserving the DVRs, the rest opted to get the HDDs in existing DVRs replaced with new HDDs and preserving the existing HDDs with Record Management agencies. This scenario has clearly highlighted the need for Banks to opt for Standardization

According to Kaushal Kadakia, Marketing Manager, IPVS, Matrix Comsec,“Since 8th November 2016 we have come across several instances on news channels where a few corrupt bank officials have tried to favor their close relatives and friends for personal interest. BFSI Security solution has become more crucial post demonetization, to make sure that all bank officials comply with the processes and all the formalities are fulfilled by the account holder, to prevent money laundering. Since bank and other financial firms have multi-location offices, it is very difficult to verify implementation of all these processes and formalities from a central location. With Matrix Video Surveillance and Access Control solutions you can centrally control and monitor all events and actions, even if your offices are scattered across the globe. You can also assign different User based Roles and Rights to your employees at local offices for ease of management.”
According to Sourav Banerjee, Regional Sales Manager, South Asia, Identiv, “Latest developments are happing in ATM authentication & digital payments. We are transiting from card based transaction to biometric and mobile app based transactions. Very soon the Atm’s are going to take biometric for authentication. We are working with some ATM manufacturer to provide the module in the machine to validate the transaction and authenticate the finger template for transaction. Also on digital payment side we are enabling the basic phones to do mobile payment through payment tags, which is making the basic phones NFC enabled. Security of phone have very important and because of the popularity of payment apps and the data residing in those apps. With the leakage of those data

He further added, “There is a strong need and urgency for Banks to migrate onto the Digital Platform for their Electronic Security and Surveillance solutions.” According to Som Gangopadhyay, Deputy Managing Director and Executive Director- Sales and Marketing,Gunnebo India,“From secure storage perspective of Cash the latest developments are Small Light Weight Safes with advanced security features. The bank branches in cities are moving vertically up as ground floors space is getting scarce. Bulky and heavy products can’t be moved to higher floors due to load bearing capacity issue. So for bank branches storage of Cash and Valuables (Gold) will be evolving around adopting new technology products which are lighter and smarter.”

one can loose their money or people can siphon their money from the bank accounts, we are also securing the phones though micro USB based Smart fold readers and digital certificate. According to SudhindraHolla, Country Manager, India & SAARC, Axis Communications, “The banking sector has seen a complete turnaround in terms of security, post demonetization. The need for secure solutions has become crucial to bear with the rising foot traffic at banks and ATMs across the nation. While the urban youth have taken to digital gateways and digital wallets, majority of the population still depends on physical banking for their requirements.” He further added, “With rapid penetration in the hinterland, the most plaguing issue has been money laundering from within the banking premises, post offices and microfinance institutes. The RBI has issued a notice to all banks to implement video surveillance solutions and preserve their video recordings to reduce the threat of theft and money laundering at their branches. The hoards of crowds we see at the ATMs is another threat that has to be curbed. Earlier, this was not an issue as ATMs were equipped with CCTV cameras since the beginning. However, post demonetization, the larger crowds and prolonged queue times have increased the risk of vandalism and pick pocketing at the ATMs.” According to Kevin Wine, Vice President of Marketing, Verint, “We are experiencing a blurring of lines between cyber, IT, and physical security in the financial sector, driven by C-level executives who are focusing on protecting corporate assets, client data, and personnel while ensuring brand continuity. This convergence drives stronger alignment of security resources and leadership, which now work in a cohesive manner to ensure business continuity. We find that this level of collaboration is a critical combination because modern enterprises require a comprehensive approach to security that takes into account risks from every facet of the business.” He further added, “There is also significant interest in how Big Data analysis and the Internet of Things (IoT) will help banks improve the collection of data — across bank branches, office locations, and
43
remote sites such as standalone ATMs.” According to Khwaja Saifuddin, Senior Sales Director-South Asia, Middle East and Africa, Western Digital, “As per a market research by the BFSI security market, the BFSI market is estimated to grow from USD 30.23 Billion in 2016 to USD 48.95 Billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 10.1% from 2016 to 2021. The Banking, Financial services and Insurance (BFSI) industry in India has evolved rapidly over the last couple of years owing to the huge technological advancements taking place. Key drivers of this market include the implementation of regulatory security compliance, demand for cloud-based security solutions, and the risk of cyber threats against the (BFSI) infrastructure. As a result, a large amount of time and money was spent to develop strong IT infrastructures for banking operations. The business and technological innovations in the BFSI sector, including the use of alternate channels such as ATMs, Net banking, mobile, cloud and social media technologies, have increased opportunities for spammers and hackers. Accordingly, the BFSI segment plays a vital role in enhancing the existing video surveillance system by integrating digital video surveillance with network and IT systems and storage devices.”

“The banking industry in India has witnessed several positive developments. It compares well with many of its overseas counterparts on metrics such as safe and secured transactions, data security, etc. Although physical security has been one of the more overlooked aspects of protecting banking institutions, and needs more emphasis,” suggested Aditya khemka. According to Ashish P. Dhakan, “The latest trend is IP Video Surveillance System backed by integrated security system and a mission critical control room. There is lot of scope for SAS and VAS based managed security solutions for BFSI sector. The latest security solutions and services are moving in this direction.”

“Amid frequent instances of offences at ATMs and cash Transit vans reported in various parts of India, banks have been advised to ensure that proper security measures were put in place at every ATM as per RBI guidelines. As ATMs were loaded with huge amounts of cash, it was imperative for banks to put in place electronic surveillance. Installation of high-resolution cameras that would provide clear video footages and provision of burglar alarms are must for ATM security,” informed Ashish P. Dhakan.

ATM solution specially designed for ATM Security and surveillance needs.” “BFSI Security Solutions Market would remain stable as far as physical security equipments are concerned. However, in the segment of electronic security ( E-Surveillance ) the scope is extremely large. However, for the OEMs/Integrators, the challenge is in providing credible and sustainable solutions across various geographies in our country, with connectivity and response capabilities still a concern in pockets,” observed Capt. S. Kannan. “The Security Solutions market in India is fast evolving, thanks to the increasing cyber crimes and ever increasing threats and risks to their physical assets. With increasing unemployment problems, the misled youth of today are scouting for easy means to get richer overnight and the easiest target for them are Enterprises that transact in Gold and Cash. So natural targets are Bank branches, ATMs, Currency Chests and Vaults of Gold Loan Companies,” observed Sunil Rao. He further added, “To meet this increasing threats and risks, BFSI sector needs to review the existing Electronic Security Systems and revamp them to make it more robust and opt for Integrated Intelligent Systems that are Remotely Monitored from Central Command Centers managed by Professional Security Agencies. These Command Centers operate on 24x7 basis and are equipped with advanced technology and monitoring software and manned by trained & qualified Security Officers. These Command Centers are easily scalable to meet the ever increasing demand for Remote Monitoring Services.” “Till recently, BFSI clients would rely on standalone Intruder Alarms and Analog CCTV surveillance, which is no solution to meet the current level of threats and risks to their assets. These would be connected to Auto Dialers, which in case of Emergency would auto dial to their nominated officials. But who would believe that these Auto Dialers are the solution for today’s crime,” suggested Sunil Rao.
He further elaborated, “The need of the day is Videofied Alarm Systems i.e. Integrated e-Surveillance Systems that would trigger alarms at the Remote Command Center in the event of any intrusion attempt or break in that would alert the Command Center Officer to verify the nature of the alarm through video verification and then initiate the VOIP based Two-Way Audio communication to deter the miscreant from proceeding with his activity. In the event, they fail to deter his action, they opt to trigger on the Hooter remotely from the Remote Command Centre.” “Simultaneously, the Command Center Officer also alerts the Quick Response Team (QRT) to rush to the site and respond to the incident. Additionally, the Bank officials will also be alerted as per the Escalation Matrix provided by the Bank. e- Surveillance services are the most sought after solution in the BFSI market, replacing the old and obsolete standalone surveillance and alarm systems,” explained Sunil Rao. According to Som Gangopadhyay, “The BFSI security solutions market is evolving quite strongly. This is the space where security is given utmost priority among other spaces. It deals with money,cash,gold and security bonds. In this dynamic space couple of things are happening.” • 15 years back CCTV Surveillance trend started. • Last few years banks have looked in to the utilization of CCTV and surveillance systems and its outcome. • BFSI sector is looking at putting CMS Systems in place for better monitoring and control. • What is appearing now is that there is still a gap between security solutions and connecting devices. These are two different things. To explain this point further the premises is secured but robber’s target is not secured. You need to connect the vault to CMS system where all the cash and gold is stored. Hence connecting the last mile is one of the most evolving concepts in BFSI security space.
and access control to handshake with each other, which in turn will help them to get better intelligence or report on alarms and events. Identiv’s Hirsch Mx controller is in built intrusion detection system and it is integrated with major VMS softwares,” suggested Sourav Banerjee. According to a recent report, globally, the security market is supposed to grow to US $ 48.95 billion by 2021 at a CAGR of 10.1%. This growth can be attributed to the rising need of physical security and increased adoption of IP-based surveillance. “In India, the dependence on physical banking ensures sales in the coming years to the BFSI sector. Banks are not only the most trusted institutions in the world, but are also one of the most extensively monitored. The gap is not in the implementation of CCTVs but the quality of the cameras. Banks need to install cameras that can not only detect and identify individuals, but can provide a higher resolution for the authorities in case of an untoward incident. The cameras also need the ability to monitor the transactions through a bird-eye view. This is the primary issue when it comes to the banking sector. They should invest in high-quality cameras from trusted vendors and system integrators who specialize in these solutions,” observed Sudhindra Holla. “There is a growing adoption of softwarebased solutions that allow data to be correlated from multiple systems to deliver increased situational awareness. Both large financial services organizations and small-tomedium-sized credit unions are interested in improving security by fusing data from a wide range of devices, including video, audio, social media, access control, building management, license plate recognition software, and intrusion-detection systems. By aggregating data from multiple sensors, banks enable
efficient data analysis, gaining the ability to share information easily within and across branches to facilitate timely response and investigation,” observed Kevin Wine.
Opportunities and Challenges
“The evolving trend is to supplement the physical security with intelligent, high definition and integrated video surveillance solution which can be accessed from anywhere with gadgets like smart phones and computers. Monitoring of all the branches and ATMs can be done effectively from a Central Control Room. CP PLUS cash-in transit van solution secures cash and bullion from the upload to offload points,” said Aditya Khemka. He further added, “Physical security, in the past, has been one of the more overlooked aspects of protecting a banking institution. The dependence on technology is such that the banking business cannot be thought of in isolation without technology; such has been the spread of technology footprints across the Indian commercial banking landscape.” “The dependence on technology has led to various challenges and issues like frequent changes or obsolescence, multiplicity and complexity of systems, different types of controls for different types of technologies/ systems, proper alignment with business objectives and legal/regulatory requirements, dependence on vendors due to outsourcing of IT services, vendor related concentration risk, segregation of duties, external threats leading to cyber frauds/crime, higher impact due to intentional or unintentional acts of internal employees, new social engineering techniques employed to acquire confidential credentials, need for governance processes to adequately manage technology and information security, need for appreciation of cyber laws and their impact and to ensure
“Earlier, security solution was all about safety and security in BFSI but now it has other aspects like Centralized Control Management, Greater Visibility, Simplicity of Management, Proactive solution with early Detection and Instant Notification, Higher Reliability against breakdowns and downtime and Integration with other solutions. These are the new dynamics evolving in security solutions in India,” said Kaushal Kadakia. “Banks are looking for a unified security system in which they want systems like cctv, intrusion

continuity of business processes in the event of major exigencies,” opined Aditya Kemka. “With digitization gaining importance and prominence, Bankers have to go back to the drawing boards to ensure that the relevance of ATMs remains. This will require calibrating the ATMS for Currency acceptance and disbursement. With Payment channels opening up, digital security assumes far more importance,” said Capt. S. Kannan. He further added, “PSBs, NBFCs, Co-operative Banks, and the Payment Banks have to re-orient themselves to the changing scenario of cash holding and cash management pattern, wherein more cash will held in the same cash safe. There is an exponential increase in gold pledged with Banks; NBFCs. Criminals have targeted these successfully as also SDLs. This is a great concern for the custodians because the implications are highly towards Reputational Risk. There is no option but to go in for replacement/strengthening the storage equipments, vaults with products delivering better resistance to burglary attacks, combining with e-surveillance.”

He further added, “In fintech space more robust Fintech platforms are the biggest challenge. The data security remains a huge challenge for banks. Digital wallets are getting jammed due to network overload. We need a robust network and secured digital payment strategies. Banks need to do assessment of risk involved with the location of the bank branch situated in particular area. It can’t be generic or similar for all branches. For example a bank branch situated in Marine Drive, Mumbai will require much less physical security systems than a bank operating in disturbance prone Gadhchiroli area.”

“Besides e- surveillance services, there is a huge opportunity for other security solutions like Remote Health Monitoring Services for existing Video Surveillance and Alarm Systems. By availing these services, BFSI clients can enjoy peace of mind with an assurance that the systems are being remotely monitored for its health and will be alerted and serviced in the event of its failure,” suggested Sunil Rao. “The new opportunities are the new banks, small banks and micro finance institutions. Smart cities will require smarter banks, smarter ATM solutions, Robotic lockers and automated systems. Smart citizens should go to smart bank. New insurance companies are also a big opportunity for BFSI security solution providers,” suggested Som Gangopadhyay.

Here are few points to ponder: • Physical security needs to be cost effective • Cut down manpower interface • Get Secured not only physical way but also use electrical and electronic systems • Service network of security system or solution provider is very important . If there is any malfunction in the security system then the whole premise becomes unsecured for that much of time. “Banks and other financial firms have their offices distributed across the globe and they need centralized control and monitoring to manage all the branches. If a security solution provider can address this pain area with his products, then BFSI sector itself is a great opportunity for that provider. Every geographical location will not have enough bandwidth, so providing features which can give centralized management and control at lower bandwidth is one of the biggest challenges prevailing in the BFSI sector,” observed Kaushal Kadakia. According to Sourav Banerjee, Regional Sales Manager, South Asia, Identiv, “Banks have started putting security nothing less than 10 years back and most of them never following a single brand or open standard product which in turn has created a heterogenous environment in terms technology in the organisation. And now when banks are trying to move to a unified security system they are facing challenge in integrating all the systems across the region in India. And to bring it to a unified mode they need to have substantial capex. We at Identiv understand the importance of open standard and that’s why we reaching out to customers to opt for open standard card readers, controllers. With our Mx we can integrate with multiple access systems.” “There is tremendous opportunity for security solutions providers in the BFSI sector today. Everyone has observed the threat to security after the demonetization announcement regardless of the fact if it’s at an ATM or a branch. With increased number of transactions, the queues at ATM’s and banks have also increased
manifold leading to emphasis on improving the existing security systems,” said Sudhindra Holla. He further added, “Internet of Things is catching up as people are talking about it and also trying to see how analytics can get to the next level than just recognizing somebody’s face or a number plate. Today, products and solutions for face recognition and number plate recognition. Secondly, too much video is being generated and big data in analytics is also coming into the picture, and so compression is also going to the next level. We are talking about H.265, Axis Zipstream which is compressing 30-40% more on the moving data offering significant additional bandwidth and storage savings for video surveillance applications.Currently there is a shift from analog to IP - based security across all market segments. Today security solutions which are cost-effective and easy-to-deploy, these cameras have an efficient networking and storage approach and provide a sophisticated security system at an affordable price.”
“This is a very important topic because if we as an industry fail to help our clients develop a strategic technology renewal strategy, it can leave an organization vulnerable to a variety of risks, both cyber and physical,” opined Kevin Wine. According to Khwaja Saifuddin, “The evolution of the BFSI sector into the digital sector has opened the gates for attackers to be able to remotely access data, which gives increased opportunity to security solution providers to help design platforms to combat these attacks.” However, the BFSI sector is evolving rapidly and this has not just provided opportunities but also a number of challenges, which we have discussed below:
‘‘
“The security industry is seeing an enormous amount of change. At the same time, financial institutions face a growing risk profile. From technology innovation to the growing sophistication of criminal activity, security leaders address risks through a balance of technology, security planning, and partnerships, both internal and external,” said Kevin Wine. He further added, “IP video surveillance has replaced analog technology in nearly every financial institution. And, as a result, corporate security professionals are incorporating a more disciplined approach to technology renewal. As an industry, we need to help promote stronger lifecycle management, which now aligns with IT asset management practices. This approach moves leaders to keep pace with new technologies while maximizing the lifecycle of existing investments.”

“Traditionally, surveillance cameras have been used to gather information on criminal activities. But with the advent of the IP based surveillance, the role of a camera has moved from passive to intelligent surveillance. As a result, intelligent video is not only used as a security tool, but is emerging as a tool for gathering business intelligence,” opined Sudhindra Holla. He further added, “The biggest challenge is shifting the mindset of the institutions. Many banks are still dependent on outdated analog cameras for their surveillance needs. We would suggest installing IP cameras which come with the latest technology, suitable for the advanced security needs of the BFSI sector.”
Challenges:
Deputy Managing Director & Executive Director- Sales & Marketing. Gunnebo India
is the ever evolving technology in the BFSI sector. The advent of the latest software and automation of many functions in the banking sector suggests the need for an advanced security solution and that would require these providers to be on their tip toes at all times. • Increase in the sophistication of Threats: One fundamental challenge that the security solution providers have been facing is how
sophisticated the threats get with time. Once an attacker understands how a security system functions, they look for loopholes in it and tryto use those to create highly sophisticated viruses or bugs which are hard to identify and protect from. • Low Budget Issues: This may not be a challenge that every solution provider may suffer from, but to create high end security solutions for banks with the growing need for constant upgrades, the costs increase and it becomes difficult for some solution providers to function effectively onlimited budgets. • Limited Resources: When we talk about resources in this case, we include not just the hardware or software needed but also the personnel required. There is still a shortage in terms of the number of skilled professionals present in this field. This leads to a lot of pressure beingput on the limited resources available, which may negatively impact performance and in turn affect the providers. Another point of concern is that these professionals need to be up to date with the technological developments in this sector; lagging behind in this department would make them an obsolete resource for the firm.
Opportunities:
• Defense in depth Strategy: The number and quality of threats to the financial institutions has evolved sophisticated with time. This has led to an increased need for an in depth defense strategythat cannot just identify threats at the time of the attack, but proactively identify the known threats and the ones emerging fast. • Vigilance Systems: Constant vigilance and alerting for possible threats are some basic facilities that solution providers may include in their systems. However, with the latest increase in the number of users on the digital platforms, especially with people moving to a cashless economy, it may help to have systems that are on constant vigilance and observe and alert even the smallest of threats. • Dependence on Cloud Services: Certain banks are investing in cloud services to provide a flexible and agile platform to their employees and consumers as well. • Risk Management: Some banks are looking at systems that can provide them with risk management and compliance capabilities to further enhance their functioning. This could require an overhauling IT infrastructure with storage and computing capacities that can function under varying stress levels.

Key Considerations
“Transactions tracking at cash counters, cash chests, locker rooms, etc.; integration of cash dispensing machines with their intrusion systems; text overlay that keeps a record of cash withdrawals; intelligent surveillance that allows for analytical capabilities such as face detection, people counting, etc.; recording capacity; powerful CMS software for heath monitoring and reporting system at control rooms; and mobile surveillance for ATM cash vans are some of the key considerations for the BFSI sector,” informed Aditya Khemka. “The key to designing effective security solutions for BFSI clients is DETECT and DETER. The systems should be designed to DETECT and DETER the crime rather than function as a tool for forensic or post mortems,” opined Sunil Rao.
the trend is towards migrating to TCP/IP based Alarm Systems offering Video Verification of Alarms,” suggested Sunil Rao. “BFSI security projects have multi-location offices. They need a reliable and complete security solution for all the offices, which can be monitored locally and managed centrally with ease of use. Matrix IP video Surveillance solution feature called Edge Recording sends notifications to the central location as per availability of bandwidth. It can send direct video stream to the central location if the bandwidth is good and can also send email with snapshots if bandwidth is low. Security solution should not be only about safety and security but it must be integrated with other IT systems to serve a greater purpose,” informed Kaushal Kadakia.
‘‘
He further elaborated, “For example, whenever a person punches invalid credentials to enter the locker room, the camera can take a snapshot or trigger an alarm. With IVA features like Motion Detection, an alarm can be triggered if motion is detected after office hours. There are many other IVA’s like Face Detection, Missing Object and People Counting, which can be used effectively in the BFSI sector.”
New Tech Trends

“The main considerations associated with BFSI sector are security of gold, cash and classified documents, which comes under physical security. Indiscipline and misbehavior from employees and customers comes under operational security. Both physical and operational security affects your brand reputation. A smart security solution should be able to guarantee both physical and operational security. For this purpose, Matrix Video Surveillance and Access Control solution can be effectively deployed in bank premises,” opined Kaushal Kadakia.

“Banks are looking for a unified security system in which they want systems like cctv, intrusion and access control to handshake with each other, which in turn will help them to get better intelligence or report on alarms and events. Identiv’s Hirsch Mx controller is in built intrusion detection system and it is integrated with major VMS softwares,” suggested Sourav Banerjee. “We need to introduce new technology and simultaneously need to reach out to customer
and educate them on the same so that they can take a well informed decision. We have some great product like Scramble pad readers where the digits changes position with every access so that nobody can make out the access code,” informed Sourav Banerjee.He further added, “ It can give people count in emergency situation and can lock or unlock all doors from reader. Also we have open standard card readers which can read 10 various card technology available in the market. And our Mx controller gives option to add more input and outputs, memory upgrade because of its modular design. Enhanced encryption between reader to server connectivity.” “Increased risks from ATM skimming, identity theft, data breaches, scams, and phishing, are driving the adoption of new solutions. Large financial services organizations have been the victim of hackers looking to steal personal information and transactional data or funds, and criminals continue to become more sophisticated in their approach. Therefore, it’s imperative that financial organizations explore and adopt new tools and technology to address this risk landscape,” observed Kevin Wine. He further added, “There is significant interest in deploying technologies that aid stakeholders in reaching new levels of intelligence and situational awareness. Software platforms are valuable in helping aggregate information from multiple systems — such as video surveillance, intrusion alarms, license plate recognition (LPR), ATM video cameras, and access control — to gain the most accurate information available about a situation at any given time. LPR, for example, allows financial fraud teams to pinpoint where a criminal’s known vehicle entered a branch parking lot — information that can be used in post-event investigations.”
Innovations
“CP PLUS offers a gamut of solutions for the BFSI sector such as cash-in transit van solution that secures cash and bullion from the upload to offload points. Other solutions include CCTV monitoring equipped with the tax overlay feature, intrusion alarms, and various device health monitoring solutions,” said Aditya Khemka. “A bank without a robust security system is an open invitation to criminals looking to fill their pockets with vast swathes of cash. Therefore, to assure the safety of a bank’s staff, and the security of its contents, a top –quality CCTV system is absolutely essential, “said Ashish P. Dhakan. He further added, “The innovative surveillance

“This needs to be seen, not in isolation but from the point of view of smart city concept which has been rolled out and emerging. Establishment of Central Monitoring Station by the OEMs and System Integrators, indigenous make in India electronic surveillance products will assume importance. On Board monitoring of CIT service providers, ingenuity in fabrication of CIT vehicles is essential. Man power security would also gain added importance. The aspect of fire safety cannot be relegated in the BFSI Sector,” said Capt. S. Kannan. He further elaborated, “The need for Record Protection, Fire Resistant Storage and Alarms with response mechanisms in place is vital. This is particularly relevant in High Rise Corporate Head Offices, VAs and VPs like Data Centres.” “A Business continuity plan assumes importance. Convergence of Physical and IT Security will need more emphasis. With three nights available for criminals, twice in a week; the challenge is to ensure that electronic security is dove tailed to physical security. Response to any alerts remains the key,” opined Capt. S. Kannan. “We now need active deterrence from the Safes and Vaults rather than passive resistance that has been the norm earlier. This would increase the security of the bank premises tremendously.

What is it?
FEBRUARY 2017
The traditional approach to physical security comes from the military. It is guards, guns, and gates. The idea is simple; it places obstacles in the way of intruders, uses armed/unarmed guards to control access through fixed entrances and checking entrants for their admissibility. Over time complementary technologies have been added to increase obstacles and extend the view of the guards beyond what they can see with their own eyes. The best definition I could find for physical security is available from the United States Geological Survey: “There is no object so well protected that it cannot be stolen, damaged, destroyed, or observed by unauthorized individuals. A balanced security system provides protection against a defined set of threats by informing the user of attempted intrusions and providing resistance to the would-be intruder’s attack paths (USGS, 2005, p. 12).” The first part of this definition is common to all security efforts; we cannot stop a highly motivated attacker (lone wolf). It is in the second sentence of the definition that we find the objectives of physical security. Putting it another way, the purpose of physical security is to delay an intruder’s advance toward a target long enough to detect and respond with human intervention.

How much is enough?
In my last assignment in Mumbai I was often asked, is security adequate or is our organization safe? There is no cookie-cutter answer to this question. Moreover, safety is
52
also about perception - how safe I am, as against how safe the place is? The short answer is that the sky is not going to fall, but we are not bullet proof. Security is always too much and never enough. The adequacy of security ultimately has to be determined by asking number of questions to the top management and not the Security Head. For example, locks and possibly even a burglar alarm at your home ensure that your belongings are secure from all but the most well organized thief, but just using those to protect a bank is not nearly enough. As a professional I feel adequacy of security must be assessed within the framework of four factors; threat
environment, work ethos/culture, affordability and enforceability. In its implementation there should be uniformity, fairness and transparency which make it acceptable by one and all. Exceptions should be barest minimal, if unavoidable.
It’s dynamic
The level of adequate security as outlined here is constantly changing in response to business, risk environments and the variation in risk tolerance that management is willing to accept. This is a continuous process, not a final outcome. In simple terms be alert, review it as often as desirable, to be always safe.
Banking Security Convergence of CISO and CSO Functions heading down that path too. As a trend, many companies are consolidating the CSO and CISO functions into one single function. Global banks are the front runners in adopting such trends. A few banks have already converged both these roles, which reports directly to the chief operation officer.

The threat landscape has changed considerably over the last few years. Nowadays, the management of physical, investigatory and info security functions are highly interwoven and could be handled by the same person itself. And corporate security is heading toward this direction already. This has been a topic of discussions over the last few years, but now we can see large organizations
Regardless of what title these individuals hold, the important factor is that all security and risk management will be under one roof. Future security leaders will be more technically inclined than they are today, as that would then be the irreplaceable requirement of the job. During last few years, the corporates (specially, Banks) have learnt the importance of security, and are making it an integral part of holistic business strategy. The heads of security are also being made a part of the decision-making process for the business as a whole. Risk as a function, containing both CISO and CSO will gain more weight in the next few years, which the banking industry has already started adopting.

The foremost challenge in the remote monitoring setup is the connectivity part. All surveillance and monitoring hardware setup in the remote locations need to converse, communicate and feed data to the surveillance system at a central location on a regular basis. The system unto its own is intelligent enough to keep the user updated about the functionality of the sensors, cameras and DVR. Although, connectivity over internet, be it MPLS, LL, GPRS or P2P, in the Metros and other big cities is good, the same thing cannot be confidently said about for remote villages of the country. Banking industry, with focus on the Financial inclusion of the country will be very heavily dependent on the communications infrastructure backbone for even banking requirements. Maintenance of Security equipment in such remote branches depends on the man on last mile and his competencies to rectify any fault effectively within a given TAT. The equipment also have to be of robust built and self-sustaining for power requirements, at least for 6-8 hrs since these areas do not have uninterrupted power supplied through the grid.
The foundation for financial inclusion plans had been laid in the late 1960’s. However, lack of infrastructure setup delayed the implementation of the project at that time. Now, with technological capabilities coming to the common man’s doorsteps, the various carrier service providers have been mandated to lay fiber optic lines to all the locations, where Banks are opening their retail centers in remote areas, tier VII (population <= 5000) and below. With demonitisation coming along, more and more citizen of this country will be banking on a regular basis, which will fuel the growth of this country from grassroots level upwards. A boon for the remote surveillance setups.
Innovations
First off, it was miniaturization of electronic equipment, further it was connecting with these equipment remotely over the internet and now, software making the old equipment future ready. An example being the Analogue cameras with no IP capability being utilized for active video analytics through the connected DVR and controlled by the software from a central location. Using video analytics enabled analogue camera for sensing the shutter opening/ closing of an remote unit is itself a fine innovation. There is no need to install various sensors and connect them, weather through a wire or over wireless frequencies. A very cost effective and fail safe innovation.
the systems are now versatile to the extent that new modules can be introduced as a plug and play kit, which seamlessly integrates with the rest of the system. Data can be hosted on cloud, application on hired space in a data center, which eliminates the need for regular upgrades and maintenance while achieving robust, maintenance free, safe and secure environment to work in.
Solutions
Solutions range from complete CAPEX, to OPEX to hybrid solution (part Capex and part opex). One can choose to setup a surveillance center in-house, seek services from competent surveillance houses or even create a mirror surveillance center by getting feeds from the competent surveillance houses into ones’ own premise. We can setup our own app and DB server or host the same on cloud. The point being, the market is willing to offer anything you want. We just need to know what we want…
AMC and service issues
For all practical purposes, all equipment under the remote surveillance setup is to be considered similar to the standalone security hardware setup installed in the premises for the past decade or so. Creating a robust Service Level Agreement with as many details as possible will help things further. Finally, SOP’s to be created and implemented to ensure uninterrupted value added services to the organization for long times to come.

Safes, Locks and Currency Chest The Digital Makeover
According to Market research.com research report, “The mechanical security industry, including locks, safes, and vaults, will grow 5.4 percent annually through 2020 to $6.1 billion. The large lock segment accounted for 72 percent of industry demand in 2016 and will drive growth. The recovering construction industry will support demand, while ongoing shifts to higher value electrified products, particularly door locks and door security hardware that are used with electronic access control systems, will assist gains, too. The need for electrified versions of mechanical security products will continue to rise as access control and other such systems are installed at more entry points. By editorial team
According to Yogesh B. Dutta, COO, Aditya Infotech,” The market for safes, locks, and currency chests in India is sizable, and growing at a steady pace. Security is no longer a term for the business world; rather an equally significant aspect of homes today. CP PLUS offers a wide range of safes, locks and currency chests to meet both commercial and personal security needs.”
He further added, “Carefully crafted, CP PLUS’ range of safes, locks and currency chests come in a variety of designs and capacities to meet the needs of both personal and commercial uses.”

Challenges and Opportunities
FEBRUARY 2017
Generally speaking, product use is similar across the various markets for mechanical security equipment. However, some markets are particularly intensive users of particular products. For example, the financial sector is the heaviest user of security storage equipment like vaults and safes. Similarly, the equipment market accounts for the vast majority of padlock and other lock sales, since their primary purpose is to secure various types of equipment. The Biometric enabled safes and locks are the latest innovation that is creating paradigm shift in this segment.

“From the traditional bulky ones, safes have come a long way. While the focus was mainly on the physical sturdiness of the structure in the early days (which is why the bulky make), safes, locks, and currency chests has undergone revolutionary changes in terms of design, aesthetics and functionality. Bulky designs have given way to compact structures with revamped functionality made available in a variety of packaging,” suggested Yogesh B. Dutta.

Sales to consumers represent the largest market for mechanical security products because of the large base of households and residential buildings. This segment will also see above average gains going forward, spurred by the increase in new home construction and renovations. As the number of healthcare facilities rapidly increases, so will the sales of mechanical security products to these institutions. Furthermore, other institutional facilities such as hospitals and schools have a strong priority to protect their patients and students. In the office and lodging

market, where each individual unit must be equipped with door locks and door security hardware, gains will benefit from the rising number of building and establishments. In addition to door security, hotels install small safes for their guests in each unit. Offices will increasingly use electronic access control systems, boosting sales of expensive electrified hardware in this segment. “The myths surrounding safes, locks and currency chests have been in the way of making them acceptable to the larger audience. While the approach is changing, there is still sometime before it is considered a necessity. Educating the audience is therefore important, and that in itself is a daunting challenge,” said Yogesh B. Dutta. He further added, “Opportunities are aplenty. Safes, locks and currency chests are effective steps towards ensuring security. And with the Internet of Things (IoT) in play, they can be programmed for effective deterrence against thefts and burglaries through alarms and notifications.”
businesses in the much smaller services sector will also bring strong growth. Much like the other fast-growing segments, growth in the service sector will be driven by the increasing number of establishments using higher value products. Although product use in retail and wholesale businesses and related warehouses is very similar to the services segment, growth is expected to be slower, due to the ever growing importance of ecommerce and online sales placing pressure on brick and mortar establishments. Similar weakness will limit growth in the industrial and financial markets, with an outright decline in the number of banking and credit union offices severely limiting sales to the financial market. “How safes and locking technologies are integrated with IoT will determine the future trends in this segment of security products,” opined Yogesh B. Dutta.

Move over ineffective mechanism like numbered seals & mechanical locks Globally Logistics companies use sophisticated locking systems for transporting goods from one location to another ensuring no theft en-route. The objective is not only preventing theft but also to ensure there is no adulteration, picking or any other unwarranted business. The Indian picture however, till now has been presenting a completely different story.
FEBRUARY 2017
Current Setup and Pain Points
www.asindia.in
Containers/Trailers are locked/sealed using numbered pin seals which are rendered useless when broken at the destination which is huge operational cost incurred on a regular basis. Further using seals makes multiple stops for replenishment a challenge and no
56
Since each trailer contains thousands of units/litres of a product, a theft of few units in each trip largely goes unnoticed; or maybe it is accepted as the necessary evil cost of doing business. Apart from vulnerability to goods theft, hassle of handling a huge bunch of key is another problem associated with mechanical locking system. Further there is no time logs of any authorized or unauthorized access to the lock.
Revenues Loss/ Operational Cost due to Pilferage & use of Numbered Seals. [Conservative Approach]
• Assume that a Logistics company has over 500 containers with each container using 3 seals. Assume the average cost per Numbered Seal is Rs. 10/- and the Container makes maximum 5 trips per week. Operational Cost Incurred every year due to non-reusable numbered seals = Rs. 10 * 3 (seals) * 5 trips * 500 containers * 52 weeks = Rs. 39, 00, 000/• Based on the conservative approach, assume that only 20% of the fleet are involved in Pilferage and the guilty driver pilfers/steals goods just once a week from his numerous trips. Further assume that the driver pilfers goods worth only Rs. 1,000 in his escapade from a Container containing goods worth lakhs of rupees. Loss incurred by Logistics Company every year due to pilferage = Rs. 1,000 * 100 containers * 52 weeks = Rs. 52,00, 000/-
i.e. Even going by Conservative Analysis it is observed that an average sized Logistics firm incurs a Loss of over 90 Lacs on account of numbered seals & pilferage from Containers.
ASSA ABLOY has developed a specialized Intelligent Electro-mechanical Locking Solution CLIQ wherein one can upgrade the existing mechanical cylinder of any lock with Smart ‘Electronic yet Nonwired’ Access Control cylinder. The new lock now embedded with Artificial Intelligence offers the capabilities of Access Control Syste, without any wiring or infrastructural change. • CLIQ does not need any wiring or a power source (not even batteries) as the Cylinder is energized by the Key i.e. no hard-wiring required for the electronic cylinders. • One CLIQ Key can access multiple cylinder; depending on the Access Rights, Schedules & Authorization of an individual.
“
• The solution offers time logs of “Who Accessed Which lock and When”.
We are living in an era of Internet of Things wherein devices are empowered with Artificial Intelligence making them interoperable and interconnected. Components like Locks have also become Intelligent and are offering dynamic Access Control capabilities without any are infrastructural change. The need of the hour is an integrated solution which flawlessly works in harsh climatic conditions of India
• A robust solution, the Keys cannot be duplicated and the Padlocks are tamper resistant, dust proof and water proof. • No need to worry about Lost Keys or former employees; as the Lost Key can be hot-listed or access restricted using revalidation feature. • CLIQ offers the strength of centralized software which is manageable and accessible from all possible locations via intranet (secured) or internet. • Comprehensive solution with an array of functionalities such as Time Delay, Flexible Key Scheduling, Dynamic User Schedules for sub-contractors and array of compliance reports.
“
Logistics companies have now started looking for a robust locking solution which can integrate with different aspects of a trip such as Vehicle Tracking System (VTS), Time Scheduling & Real time Authorization on a common platform. The vital component here would be a robust locking solution which is viable alternative to the mechanical seals; while also providing operational efficiency and track record of every access during the trip.

Remote Video Monitoring Gaining Ground in India
Remote Video Monitoring trend is consistently growing in India with speedy progress of SaaS (Security as a service), VSaaS (Video Surveillance as a service), Safe City and Smart City projects. Remote Monitoring continues to be a great enabler for critical infrastructures and BFSI sector. Now the focus has shifted to empowering the monitoring personnel the Best –in –Class tools to amplify the intelligence sought. The latest innovations in video analytics allow operators and end users to get more specific on how and why an event should be triggered, even classifying objects and customizing rule sets within virtual zones. All these developments lead to the significant reduction of false alarms, enhanced security, situational awareness, quicker intervention, and reduced dependency on labor. BY Anant Joshi, a&s India
FEBRUARY 2017
he remote video monitoring trend is on the rise as government and private sector understands great value proposition attached to secured premises. The Safe City and Smart City trends are growing in India with Smart City Mission and Safe city Projects, there is a surge in demand for Remote Video Monitoring solutions. According to Yogesh B. Dutta, COO, Aditya Infotech,” Remote monitoring has gained significant momentum over the past few years. Where we stand today, there isn’t a vertical/ industry/ business that can do without surveillance. And with security becoming a key facet of sustainability and healthy operations, remote monitoring is quickly winning ground, growing manifold in scope with time.”
www.asindia.in
According to Avinash Trivedi, Vice President, Business Development and Sales, Videonetics, “Remote video monitoring solution being part of the overall surveillance & monitoring market will be surely benefitted by this tremendous growth. With bandwidth constraints, multi-location monitoring requirement, already installed legacy system, geographically spread customer locations are growth drivers for remote monitoring solutions.” He further added, “Interestingly Remote Monitoring is a key ingredient of new upcoming business which is better known as Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS).
58
According to latest IHS report the worldwide VSaaS market is expected to reach $1.8Bn by 2020. This is a positive sign for the industry since it will help increase the market for conventional monitoring systems as well.” “The penetration of cloud technology and its deployment will further help this market grow leaps and bounds. Hosted Video, Cloud Managed and Hybrid Video Monitoring are the future of video monitoring and surveillance,” opined Avinash Trivedi. According to Rajiv Mathur, Executive Director, Sparsh, “Remote monitoring is one of the fastest growing markets in security management. Most of Banks, Corporate bodies, Government Departments, real estate companies, Retail chains are realizing the needs of remote surveillance. Remote Monitoring and Management market is slowly but steadily finding a strong ground

in the Indian market.” He further added, “Network connectivity is one of the main issue which is threatening the remote monitoring market. As of now there are not much options available in India when it comes to deliver remote monitoring solutions on large scale. The framework has already been laid and many solutions are evolving , remote monitoring and management will be the future of security for the banking, real estate and retail sectors by reducing or eliminating the need for maintaining costly, unreliable, manned security system.” According to Ajith Kumar Menon ,Vice President- Operations, Zicom Electronic Security Systems , “RMS is the buzz word in the market today. As part of Internet of Things (IoT), RMS gains momentum in terms of enhanced security and reduced manpower spends. Financial Services sector is hugely benefitting out of this with most of the banks in India moving towards E-Surveillance at their ATMs and Branches. NBFCs specifically Gold Loan companies are finding this as an effective solution for their vaults and safe keeping of precious metals. In the retail segment various corporates like Builders for under constructions sites, Distribution companies for pilferages, Retail outlets to keep watch on thefts as well as footfall counts, Food chains for quality control etc are increasingly moving towards this. He further added, “An Economics Times research published on 19 Aug 2016 says 120,000 jobs of people working in Office Admin, Support and Maintenance will be taken over by technology with just 25,000 IoT Product Managers by 2021 in India. From less than 100 companies in this space today, it is poised to grow to around 2000 companies in India by then. A lot of MNCs are finding this as a potential space and are willing to set up growth plans in India.” According to available market reports, the overall Indian Surveillance Market is estimated at around INR 5500 Crore (US$850-900Mn) in 2016-17 and expected to grow to reach US$2Bn by 2020 with a CAGR of approx. 30%. According to Rohini Goradiya, VP,Marketing & Sales, COM-SUR, “The remote monitoring and management market has tremendous potential for growth in India. With the banking, retail, and hospitality industries moving towards centralized monitoring, amongst others, the opportunities are vast. Physical security has become essential for those looking at solutions to address everything, from pilferage to terrorism. This has led to the demand in shift from analog to IP surveillance. With IP surveillance technology allowing video to be transferred anywhere in the world over IP infrastructure, and the ability to access footage from a remote location via the Internet, the possibilities are multifold. Banks especially are looking to carry out efficient monitoring activities for their branches, ATMs at remote locations and currency chests.”
Latest solutions “Cloud monitoring or P2P as we call it, is the latest in remote monitoring solutions available in India. Trumping all the downsides of the earlier DDNS or the much earlier Static monitoring solutions, cloud monitoring is the best way forward with remote monitoring right now,” said Yogesh B. Dutta. He further added, “CP PLUS offers cloud monitoring through itsInstaOn app that allows for hassle free monitoring over cloud.” “Videonetics PRO IVMS application with VConnect Central Monitoring Software is a custom-built software application suite specifically designed to address remote monitoring requirement of customers having bandwidth challenges and struggling with legacy analogue or IP system installed at their geographically located sites,” informed Avinash Trivedi. He further added, “ Videonetics PRO IVMS & VConnect CMS software suite addresses these concerns by providing a cost-effective solution which protect customers already made investment.”

Technology. Thus Outcome based SaaS models are preferred across the market. For eg: ATM E-surveillance brings down the manpower cost to a fraction of it. Traditional security guards are on their way out with IoT gaining momentum in this space. Similarly Branch Surveillance provides High level security alerts when the Vaults are supposed to be closed including Alerts to the nearest police station. With Emergency Response Team in the standby RMS has given a new dimension to this space. During biz hours when employees are under threat and want to silently alert remote monitoring station, use of Duress Codes to open vaults or access critical areas is in line with the thought processes of secret service agencies,” said Ajith Kumar Menon. He further added, “Image Analytics and Video Analytics keep watch on unsuspected activities in public places and eliminate need for eye ball monitoring and possible errors. Traffic Monitoring like catching hold of violators, Issuing Fine tickets centrally, Profiling of Licensees etc are possible only through such solutions. Increasingly police departments across major cities in India are moving towards this direction. Another break through is “Make Your City Safe” initiatives. In this the health of all the installations are monitored through Internet even at Housing Societies are ensuring availability of forensic evidences unlike the earlier stand-alone models.” “Our technology COM-SUR, the World’s First Video Auditing, Smart Back up and Incident Reporting System can bring great value to remote monitoring. Since a lot of industries are shifting towards remote monitoring by setting up large, central command and control centers, COM-SUR can be especially useful in helping them Audit Hours of Video in Minutes. The current scenario of remote monitoring refers to real time surveillance and video analytics for carrying out monitoring activities. This is because it is impossible to review hours to video at a single siting. It is a known fact that CCTV observers suffer from “video blindness” after 20–40 min of observation. After this period of active monitoring, CCTV operators cannot recognize objects on the video anymore. Hence, we rely on video analytics, which more often than not have been known to fail,” observed Rohini Goradia. She further added, “With Com-Sur, one can review HOURS of Video in MINUTES making remote monitoring easy and efficient. This is extremely beneficial in a command and control center where multiple sites are being monitored. Even when the CCTV operator is away from the room, he can come back and carry out a review in a matter of minutes. Even when the operator is away from the actual site (remotely monitoring it), he need not worry about missing out on any activity. With Com-Sur’s efficient time-lapse system, he is induced to carry out regular review.”
Avinash Trivedi,
Vice President - Business Development & Sales , Videonetics remote surveillance can determine exactly what type of threat the property is facing. With advances in big data analytics and video technology, the remote video surveillance can properly identify if the threat is of a criminal nature or if it comes from an accident such as an electrical fire. All of that data is analyzed remotely in real time, providing constant feedback on what is happening on the premise.If it appears that further action is necessary, authorities will be notified, and onsite audible and visual deterrents will be activated,” explained Rajiv Mathur. He further added, “As always, early detection is key and adds another layer of cost savings when choosing a remote video surveillance system.” According to Ajith Kumar Menon the key value additions are as follows: Trust But Verify - Digitization in India & Digitalization of Society are possible only if there are Remote Monitoring Solutions available across all strata of the society. Transformation from Manning installations to Sensor based Monitoring brings in Machine level accuracy and transparency to the process. This is added with huge Cost Cutting across the board – which essentially means decreased exposure to Labour Unions and HR Management as well.

Remote monitoring solutions are beneficial for all verticals, since there isn’t one, possibly, that doesn’t need security at this time. So be it railways, airports, commercial spaces, malls, retails outlets, or residential complexes, remote monitoring solutions are beneficial for all verticals,” said Yogesh B. Dutta. “Remote Monitoring has various use cases which can directly benefit segments like BFSI, Logistics, Home Monitoring for Centralised Alarm Management, SMB, Critical Asset Monitoring like Telecom Tower Monitoring, Law Enforcement for Central Operation Center and many other areas,” said Avinash Trivedi. “Banks, Corporate bodies, Government Departments, real estate companies, Retail chains are getting benefits from remote surveillance Monitoring. With internet cost is getting down the complete ecosystem cost will comes down and there will more addition to the verticals which will get benefits from this technology,” suggested Rajiv Mathur. “There is no limitation. Be it Financial Services, Food Chains, Construction, Communications, Power Transmission, Townships, Defence establishments, Manufacturing – you name it, Security is a need across all strata of the society and only Remote Monitoring Solutions can govern these. This is why now IoT is becoming IoE (Internet of Everything). When you virtually have an eyeball across every street in the country - the benefactor, apart from Private and Public Security Agencies, is the Society itself,” suggested Ajith Kumar Menon. “Any industry that involves several sites being monitored such as retail, banking, real estate, hospitality, even the police themselves would be benefitted by remote monitoring solutions. However, we must keep in mind here, that the persons monitoring the remote location from the central location does not possess ‘situational awareness’ regarding that site. For example a CCTV Operator sitting in Chennai does not ‘what to look for’ when he is monitoring a store in Mumbai. Only the local store manager knows ‘what to look for’. Therefore, a good balance between decentralized and centralized monitoring must be maintained.” suggested Rohini Goradia.
Application Cases
“Videonetics VConnect Remote Monitoring Solution has been successfully deployed in Statewide Central Monitoring Center at Bhopal as part of MP Police Multicity Surveillance Project covering 11 large cities in MP,” informed Avinash Trivedi. He further added, “Similarly, VConnect Remote Monitoring Solution has been successfully
Ajith Kumar Menon,

deployed in Bangalore City to provide remote monitoring of 16 police station jurisdictions to Police Commissioners Office. The project is now being expanded to cover additional 45 police station jurisdictions across Bangalore city.” “Videonetics also conducted successful proof of concepts for various high profile customers in enterprise, BFSI and critical asset monitoring segments,” said Avinash Trivedi. “We have been providing remote surveillance solution for telecom industries from last 2 years and we have deployed solution at 1000 plus sites. Also we are proving solutions to construction sites , banks and large corporates. Few POCs are going on in retail chain stores to have command and control centers to monitor their properties and statics to improve their business nationwide,” informed Rajiv Mathur. “A very light example - If you look at our archives, it was fairly easy to find incidents till a couple of years back. As on today, the awareness is so high that very less incidents are reported when a security camera or a remote monitoring solution is around. This is a behavioural change. Imagine if we have some kind of security monitoring across our streets, this one behaviour change can change the social security standards in the country,” informed Ajith Kumar Menon.
Our technology COM-SUR, the World’s First Video Auditing, Smart Back up and Incident Reporting System can bring great value to remote monitoring.

Images don’t lie - Forensic evidences in case of violations can be ensured only if installations are monitored. First-hand view of the field realities to the Stake holders ensures that gaps are bridged. No corporate entity has to believe on MIS reports from their Regional Offices. Indeed, Corporate Offices now will be able to tell their Regional Offices about their efficacies and Govern them more effectively. “Most Backup of CCTV happens on the recording device i.e. the DVR/NVR. The percentage of users that back up CCTV Video in the Cloud is very small. We have seen several cases where criminals have decamped with the Recorder itself after committing the crime. If this happens, where is the evidence? We have seen several cases of deliberate Destruction of the DVR, or Failure, or plain Human Error. Let us remember that when one backs up CCTV at Remote locations in the form of the Video itself, there will be huge Costs of bandwidth and storage. One must also not forget that any backed-up data must easily be searchable and retrievable; else, it’s going to be a nightmare finding the Relevant Video,” said Rohini Goradia. She further elaborated, “Com-Sur offers you the ability to back up video smartly at remote locations. Therefore even if your DVR is destroyed/stolen/tampered with, you have back up to turn to. It is important to store back up by Relevance and Quality, not by quantity.”

Evolution In India
Traditional security practices using Physical guards for protecting property and bringing safety to stake holders have been undergoing a major shift with the evolution of technology. Employing Video and Audio based surveillance tools & equipment has become the order of the day in providing a safety net to properties and citizens and evidence to authorities for postmortem.
FEBRUARY 2017
However having surveillance equipment & recording at the scene of incident(s) alone may not really prevent an incident from happening . Hence having proactive prevention mechanisms through real-time monitoring of Video and using siren / PA messaging Audio tools have become an essential part of e-Surveillance industry.

monitoring” from a centralized monitoring station using a service partners’ resources. Remote Monitoring is the fastest growing market in the Indian security domain today. Its need has come to be recognized in almost all fields; like banking, corporate affairs, government departments, city surveillance, retail chain, construction and industrial security, hospitality and health services and so on. Enterprises having their assets & facilities spread across large extents of area, in different time zones and with huge work forces where physical supervision is a big challenge are adopting remote video monitoring for timely decisional intervention by the top management. Similarly, it is the most reliable option for all aspects of city and town management where the municipal and police authorities are always woefully short of human resources. The banking industry in our country has begun to adapt to remote monitoring in a big way by relying on remote monitoring for surveillance of their ATMs & branches.
Latest Technologies
Remote surveillance is one field where recent developments have infused substantial improvement in capabilities. The quantum leaps in video analytics and IP convergent technologies have taken remote surveillance to a different level altogether. Video Analytics with the features like motion detection, object tracking , virtual trip wire , license plate recognition, facial recognition etc have added enough ammunition to raise in time alerts and prevent untoward incidents from happening.Sensor based
alerts which was the mainstay of any remote surveillance system has, more or less, been outdated and is almost obsolescent. Video analytics overcomes the issue of substantial false alarms, malfunctioning and maintenance of sensors. Improvements in HD capabilities with in-built improved intelligence features has brought about considerable reduction in sizes and improvement in recorded video quality enabling increase in high definition video archiving. This along with improved IoT like cloud-based monitoring which provides for immense digital data storage, has revolutionized the archival handling and retrieval capabilities of remote surveillance.
Challenges
While there are a considerable number of players with technology solutions to bring about the paradigm shift from human-resource-based security to the machine-to-machine (M2M) option, the major challenge faced by the industry is inadequate network connectivity – the one aspect besides power, which is critical to exploitation of Remote Monitoring solutions. Once this hurdle is overcome and affordable and robust connectivity across the country is a reality, this industry is likely to see a boom in all corners of the country – metros, semi-urban or rural, which has probably not been witnessed so far.

Remote Monitoring Solutions Evolve for Better ROI By Ajit Kulkarni, Associate Director, Safety and Security, IDFC Bank
Remote surveillance systems, or commonly known as Central Monitoring Stations (CMS), specifically for multilocation organisations like BFSI and Banking sectors, are increasingly common place and a preferred solution now-a-days. The benefits are there for all to see, what with many break-in attempts being thwarted, fires identified in very early stages and extinguished and so on. But is this enough? Is this the result we were looking for? Can there be further enhancements in the intended outcome? What is in store for us in the future?
FEBRUARY 2017

Today, most of the CMS’s are being used for active deterrence through e-surveillance. A few are being used for energy management requirements as well. Both these concepts are now working on the concept of exceptions reporting, which requires meagre connectivity bandwidth most of the time. Video can be pulled on demand and heavy data requirements like two-way audio communication, only when needed.But largely, many of the capabilities of the CMS remain unutilised. Thanks to IoT (Internet of Things) and more recently IoET (Internet of Every Thing) which are aiding advancement of technologies, both on hardware and software front, we are now looking at something called as the Integrated Workplace Management Solution or IWMS, an advanced iteration of CMS. An IWMS, which is actually an amalgamation of various systems on a single platform, which is both scalable and upgradable, can be employed for, but not limited to the following. • Space utilization - Space is at a premium and organisations are increasingly looking at solutions to reduce space related costs. Optimum utilisation of space will be possible only if we have real data for analytics, which is possible through the IWMS with a marginal increase in budget. The returns will far exceed the marginal increase.
64
• Energy Management - IWMS can be used to create and achieve sustainability objectives (Energy Management playing a major part in the program) which could get your organisation on Dow Jones index and similar such visibility enhancer platforms. Certain large to very large organisations will be interested in business with only those organisations listed on such platforms to support their own Sustainability targets/ objectives. • Critical Facility Management (Data Analytics) - In addition to lowering the carbon foot print of the organisation, we can earn valuable carbon credit points as well. - UPS room temperatures - Battery voltage monitoring - Input power, - Load on electric points - DG fuel, coolant, oil and starter battery voltage levels - All these initiatives will help in optimising the power requirements while ensuring drastic reduction in fire related incidences, not to mention the substantial visible savings for the organisation • E surveillance - Dangers to a business and its employees range from the financial to the physical. Electronic Surveillance in your organisation can have the following benefits: - Reduce Theft: From relatively minor theft, such as a worker slipping a box of paper clips into her purse to more substantial incidents, such as an employee selling proprietary company information to a competitor, contemporary surveillance tools heighten management’s ability to safeguard company assets. - Boost Productivity and Profits: The knowledge that you are being watched at all times can, in itself, inspire better performance and improve productivity without the need for unpleasant confrontations
- Reduce Incidents of Workplace Violence: Surveillance in the workplace may discourage these and other incidents of workplace violence, property damage or vandalism before they happen. Or, at the very least, it will allow your company to provide adequate information to law enforcement after an event has occurred. • Look and Feel assurance - Regular video audits of sites for checking the general upkeep of the unmanned sites. - Passing information for housekeeping/ equipment maintenance to concerned teams. -Validation of work completion. • Instant feedback (Pantry, washrooms, Repro machines etc) - Application can run on any hand-held device seeking feedback about the services being provided. - Providing reports and dashboards to managers for further action if required. - The app can also dovetail into inventory control, management, and remote ordering of material if necessary. All the points mentioned above, although supporting a typical multi location BFSI/ Banking setup, is also adept in supporting a vast array of diverse industries like Medicine, Hospitality, Cash in Transit, Material Distribution, Warehouses, FMCG, Ports and so on. As Security professionals, it is imperative that we keep ourselves abreast with the latest technologies and trends. However, before jumping onto the band wagon for IWMS for any organisation, it is always advisable to go through a SWOT analysis, identify and create a definitive problem statement, rather than implementing a readymade solution and trying to fit the problem around it. Tailor made solutions abound in the market, and creating one for any organisation is easy, once the problem is clear.Although all the modules, and some more, are easily available/ customisable for specific use, it’s always a good idea to introduce the requisite modules cautiously, rather than creating a monster we cannot control. The endeavour here should be to be a Business Enabler for the organisation rather than being a cost centre.

While access to energy is a basic human right, we need to make it sustainable. Today’s budget gave a clear indication of the government’s focus to achieve ‘sustainable energy for all’, with two of its critical steps; firstly, by providing a boost to rural electrification with a 25% increase in the outlay for key power schemes like Integrated Power Development Scheme and Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojna. This is expected to fast track the rural electrification drive of the Government, which is now planned to be completed by May 1, 2018. Secondly, by strengthening its focus on renewable energy forms with the inflow of another 20 GW in the next fiscal. This however, will require investments in grid management

The Government’s announcement to allow eligible startups to avail their 3-year tax holiday in a block of 7 years as against the earlier 5 years is a useful one and should give further impetus to the Startup India initiative. Also, the intent to move towards a cashless economy and initiatives to strengthen the digital infrastructure augurs well for the ecosystem

UPI based payments and other digital payments is a boost to the digital economy of the country. To demonstrate the significance of Information Technology among Government’s priorities, initiatives on cyber-security will also contribute towards boosting the digital economy. We hope that the government’s ongoing efforts to make India digital will contribute to the overall ease of doing payment transactions in India. Further, we are glad to be apprised of significant progress on GST and hope that new taxation system in turn will contribute to the ease of doing business in India”.

and digitisation of the grid to ensure supply of quality reliable and safe power. It is important to stress that along with rural electrification, it is equally important to provide reliable and quality power which requires investments towards modernisation of the country’s transmission and distribution power networks and use of digitisation in grid management.

“With the Union Budget 2017-18, Government has continued to strengthen infrastructure sector which is a positive step towards transforming the nation. The emphasis on massive infrastructure development will give a further impetus to PM Modi’s smart cities mission and safe city initiatives in India. The Government’s focus improving railway services, infrastructure and amenities will also rationalise the country’s transportation architecture. We hope that the investment in the transport sector will also focus on execution of smart transportation solutions in India. We welcome government’s push for financial inclusion through Aadhar enabled payment system which will be beneficial to citizens who do not have an access to banking system. This launch will ensure easy transactions for those without debit cards, mobile wallets or mobile phones.

Moreover, it will encourage citizens, to go the cashless way for their personal spending. To promote a digital economy, the Government will launch two new schemes to promote the usage of BHIM: Referral Bonus Scheme for individuals and a Cashback Scheme for SME’s, MSME’s and entrepreneurs which will boost business transactions through e-payments. By revisiting corporate tax slabs, there is less incentive for tax evasion, and this will push the economy towards digital money. The CBD exemption given for Micropos terminals will enable

digital payments, though there might be some immediate import of micropos terminals to meet the demands. If Digital Payment needs to really happen in the grassroots level then the country needs at least 5 lakh terminals in a very short period of time. We think this is a temporary step just to tie over the immediate demands of the micropause system that is required. There is enough capacity to manufacture terminal blocks but not enough products to meet the immediate demand. Senior citizens; Adhaar & IT: The Government of India’s focus on introducing Aadhaar based smart cards containing the health information to be introduced for senior citizens would require immense technological support and we have the capabilities as well. The entire transformation of citizenship identity to a uniform platform has brought lots of cheer in the IT eco system.

Make in India and Manufacturing: Proposal on making India a global electronic manufacturing hub will boost manufacturing the electronic manufacturing market in the country. This in turn will focus on electronics manufacturing and plans to set up electronics clusters across various towns and cities. The huge investment in manufacturing will bring in more capacity creation within the country, though some amount of deterrence for blindly importing the products will happen simultaneously. Allocation and incentives of schemes like M-SIPS and EDF to Rs745 crore will reflect a strong commitment to promote local value additions in electronics manufacture. The overall tax reliefs given to start ups and MSME’s will boost sustainable employment and the quality of start-ups in the design led manufacturing sector

Start-up focus: Reaction to Government of India’s relief on tax benefit to start ups for the next seven years Benefits to the start-ups will fillip in promoting the start-up ecosystem in India. With the Government’s announcement to promote women entrepreneurship, Dalits and all the sections of the society, there will be an increased boost in independent business and entrepreneurship in the country with more focus on the garment, textile and food processing. We will have an immense role to play along with MSMEs in making the Startup India Scheme initiative successful as 96% of the Indian companies will benefit from this. We are honoured with government’s trust on associations like IESA and look forward to work in tandem to realise this socially important goal. Defence budget increased by about 5.8% to Rs 2, 74,000 crore An increase in the allocation of the defence budget will focus on the country’s Strategic Electronics ecosystem for greater selfreliance. The defence and aerospace sector in the country has seen considerable growth in recent years. The shift from buyer to manufacturer has to be made and this step will further boost the domestic ecosystem. Furthermore, with Web-based pension distribution system for defence and a central defence travel system, more strength will be given to the soldiers to book travel tickets online. A comprehensive web based defence pension distribution system for defence pensioners has also been developed which we think will go a long way. Skill development focus: Reaction on Government’s Transform, Energise, Clean India (TEC India).

We believe that the government has focused on creating an inclusive budget for a transparently governed country. It’s refreshing to see the government calling out digital economy as one of the major areas of focus as this will bring in a more transparent administration, enhancing finances for everyone. The move to incentivize merchants with rebates will accelerate the adoption of mobile and digital payment systems in India thus increasing the scope of financial services to the underbanked. Personally believe that this budget holds a lot of promise for skilling the youth in the country. This is something that various industry bodies including the CII, have always advocated. The fulfilment of the Bharat Net scheme along with schemes tailored for the MSME sector will help contribute to a viable and healthy start-up ecosystem.

And also, while entering/exiting the school. Results/Benefits • Increased Child Safety – GPS tracking keeps track of school buses in real time, notifying parents of the specific arrival times. This reduces the amount of time children have to wait for buses to arrive, minimizes their exposure for various other dangers they can be exposed to while waiting for a school bus to arrive. • Parental Monitoring of School Buses via Apps – Sending children on a bus can be a source for anxiety for parents. GPS tracking devices can help to eliminate this anxiety by allowing parents to keep a watchful eye on the arrival and departure of their child’s school bus, instead of calling the school transport department repeatedly. • Bus Monitoring Maintenance – School bus managers are able to improve the maintenance practices of school buses when the vehicles are outfitted with GPS tracking devices. These devices notify managers when scheduled maintenance is needed, which minimizes downtime and costly breakdowns. When buses do need maintenance, managers will be able to accurately schedule replacement buses. • Track Fuel Costs – By keeping track of mileage and the routes that drivers take, School bus managers can track and better manage fuel costs. Managers can ensure drivers are efficiently driving their buses and they are observing speed limits, their scheduled routes. • Keep a tab on driving Behaviors – Manager will be able to keep tabs on the behavior of their drivers with GPS bus tracking. These devices keep track of driving patterns and behaviors, like hard braking, unnecessary idling and speeding. This not only reduces costs, but it also improves children’s safety. • Improved Ecological Accountability - With GPS tracking devices, routes can be better optimized and engine idling can be minimized. This can reduce the impact on the environment by lowering the amount of emissions, they put out into the atmosphere. • Improved Scheduling for Schools – By knowing exactly when school buses will arrive and depart, school administrators and teachers can create better and more effective schedules for their students.

Orissa Police Sets Benchmark in e-Surveillance CP PLUS products and solutions offered a tailor made solution for Orissa police.
SUBMITTED BY CP Plus
Background Orissa has largely been a peaceful state despite having its own share of problems. Many parts of the state being dominated by the Naxalites, law and order remains a sensitive issue. To proactively track the activities around police stations, Orissa police decided to equip itself with e-surveillance. The objective was not only to mitigate the corruption and suspicious activities, but also to keep track of suspicious elements and activities. Besides, the police administration wanted to ensure the fair treatment to civilians when they access them at the police stations. Mission Orissa police had to set a benchmark by ensuring its functions are transparent and people friendly. In a bid to modernize and ensure effective policing in various areas, they decided to secure police stations by installing closed circuit cameras (CCTVs). These police stations were selected based on their sensitivity and location. Besides, police wanted to safeguard the rights of the people after receiving many complaints of violations. They wanted to keep a close eye on agitations and demonstrations and record incidences of scripted incidences aimed at tarnishing image of police. The alternative significant objective was to bring about a change in the behavior of the police. Objective, tamper-proof video evidence indeed brings about a significant modification in the behavior of everyone concerned. This intuition has been backed up by psychological studies.

Solution CP PLUS team was fully aware of the tactical and situational surveillance challenges at police stations. The team has a challenging task of covering 200 police stations spread across 20 districts. The team observed that the risk for each police station varied from others. The team evaluated the risk and divided it into two parts. One was common risk and another was specific to that area. The local risk included, for example, frequent agitations by local public, loitering by anti-social elements, political agitations over local issues, etc. The specific risk was based on the past history of incidences and their recurrence. Further, the task was to ensure safety of the police staff proactively by tracking
76
activities within and outside police stations. Equipped with the wide portfolio of CP PLUS products and solutions that offer the flexibility to design fool-proof design/solution without any security compromise, the system architecture team came up with a tailor made solution for Orissa police. The solution involved the following items: • CP-EAC-TY60MVFL8-E - High Resolution High range Vari-Focal IR Bullet camera - 80 Mtr • This is 600 TVL High resolutions Analog IR Camera with 12 Japanese LEDs and a capacity to view even in dark within 80 meters. Also has AGC, AWB and BLC features that help to produce enhanced images in hostile environmental conditions. • CP-UAR-0808Q2D-XU: 8 Channel Full D1 1080P 1.5U Standalone DVR • This is H.264 dual-stream video compression capable of delivering a Full channel D1 (4CIF) real-time recording. All channels can simultaneously playback and offer smart search. Smart video detection can report Motion Detection (MD), camera blank and video loss. Result The responsive and precise capabilities of the cameras and DVRs with the extended day/night video resolution equipped police stations with a comprehensive all-weather 24x7 surveillance round the year. The surveillance system equipped police stations with much required tactical and situational surveillance. After the huge success of first phase implementation, Orissa police is contemplating to deploy the system to cover other areas of the state as well. “We leveraged a number of cameras from different locations which were tied into the same network. For general situational awareness, we used standard definition cameras. For our highest tier of tactical surveillance, there was a compelling need for really highdefinition video to arrive at concrete decisions”, mentioned Rahman, Microsys Infotech &Telecom, our collaborating partner for the project.

Top Technology Trends in the Identity Technology Industry for 2017 HID Global focuses on four significant trends in 2017 that will influence how organizations create, manage and use trusted identities in a broad range of existing and new use cases. By Stefan Widing, CEO & President, HID Global
Stefan Widing,
CEO & President, HID Global
FEBRUARY 2017
www.asindia.in
Stronger adoption of mobile devices and advanced smart cards underscores the need for trusted identities • Similar to the adoption of consumer trends to IT in past years, 2017 will also see further consumerization of security, with heightened demand from users seeking to open doors, and login to cloud-based resources, as well as have personalized on-demand printing of documents, and to deploy printed credentials remotely or conduct other transactions and daily activities using trusted IDs on their phone, wearable or smart card. • Trusted IDs that integrate security, privacy and convenience will provide a new level of assurance to these applications and transactions, while being uniquely positioned to make secure access more personalized to the individual. • The industry will look towards complete identity relationship management that considers the need to grant access based on the context or circumstances for risk-appropriate authentication across trusted identities assigned to people, devices, data and things in smart offices, buildings and other environments that are becoming more connected every day.
78 78
Greater emphasis on the cloud through “hybrid” solutions that combine onpremises and the cloud to create common management platforms for digital IDs • Organizations are recognizing the interdependencies of technologies and platforms needed for business agility, cost management and providing a better user experience within a mobile workforce, or for digital commerce and relationship management that continues to require more reach, flexibility, security. • In banking, government, healthcare and other regulated markets, multifactor authentication for physical and IT access control will have more opportunities to merge into integrated systems that will also provide a more convenient experience for users and increase security. • This model will make it easier for administrators to deploy and maintain an integrated system throughout the complete identity lifecycle -- from onboarding to offboarding; • It will make it possible to monitor and manage employees’ access rights as their role changes within an organization, ensuring employees only have access to what they need in a current role. • Credential issuance for physical ID cards will also experience a digital transformation, as the use of cloud technologies will enable managed service models for badge printing and encoding. Emerging IoT uses cases to connect, more people, places and things, increasing the need to ensure the Internet of Trusted Things (IoTT) • Trusted identities will increasingly be employed to help secure, customize and enhance the user experience across a growing range of industry segments that are embracing the power of the IoT.
• Organizations will look towards streamlining processes and operations using real-time location systems, presenceand proximity-based location functionality, condition monitoring solutions, beacons and cloud-based models for emerging IoT applications using Bluetooth Low Energy. These applications will include a growing number of energy efficient, productivity and safety-oriented use cases that will need to know the identity of occupants in a physical space to manage environmental conditions, book meeting rooms and auto-configure audio visual equipment and alarms. • Bluetooth Low Energy-based solutions will also advance existing secure proof of presence capabilities to include the predictive analytics and functionality based on location-based technologies. Embedding trusted identities more deeply in everyday activities for businesses and consumers • Trusted identities will become an embedded feature of more use cases rather than simply an add-on capability. This trend of “security by design” will lead to many more convenient approaches to using digital identities across a growing variety of activities, services and industries. • Along with popular secure access use cases, new applications will emerge, such as employee mustering capabilities to address emergencies as well as the need to more accurately determine who is in a building in real-time. • New capabilities for managing and using trusted IDs will be driven by the increase of temporary offices, mobile knowledge workers and the evolution of the workplace, where adapting to the preferences of today’s talent pool is driving the need for more open, flexible workspaces. Consumers also will begin seeing trusted identities used in many everyday scenarios, such as guaranteeing authorized use of corporate and heavy machinery fleets, as well as creating new ways to safeguard students and validate drivers.
The Changing Nature of Security
New Roles for the security professionals submitted by CMDE Sanjay Tewari, Retd, Business Head, CISB

ost companies have guards manning their entry and exit points. Some have invested in technology to improve the efficiency and efficacy of their screening process. While guards and access control technology can monitor movement of people, goods and vehicles, they cannot guarantee security against clandestine intrusion and theft. Companies today store volumes of important and confidential data in digital form. The traditional filing cabinets and lockers that once held everything from drawings & designs to important parameters and customer information, equipment character this machine performance graphs, tax returns and other financial information, have been replaced by digital charts, drawings and other data, stored either on computers or on magnetic media. Data could be stored at a data centre or within the firm’s premises. While the greatest convenience of digital data in its portability, this also makes it vulnerable to theft. According to India Risk Survey 2016, Information & Cyber Security was the No 2 risk identified across various sectors. In the case of Govt & PSUs, Financial Services, IT/ITES and Telecom sectors, it was identified as the No 1 security risk. With eRetail and eCommerce becoming increasingly popular, both sectors are likely to see a rise in security risk from Cyber crimes. Examples of data theft in the Indian scenario, are the Indian Navy’s War Room leak case and the loss of
design data of Indian submarines, from the French firm DCNS, which remained unnoticed till leaked by an Australian newspaper. More recently, in Oct 2016, a number of prominent Indian banks were hit by cyber crime leading to compromise of 3.2 m debit cards due to a malware that crept in at another corporate’s premises. The other advantage of digital data is its propensity to be sent/ received over computer networks. While large corporations have their private networks, emails, software patches, updates and other useful information to and from third parties need to be sent over the public internet. This means that an intruder is virtually inside the company office on the desktop waiting for an opportunity to enter the company’s digital world. There are literally thousands of Trojans residing on unguarded internet connected computers waiting for commands to strike. Once activated, a target victim can easily be overwhelmed by a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack. The victim gets bombarded by thousands of spam mails in minutes from these globally distributed ‘bots’. One of the most infamous DDOS attacks was by a computer worm called ‘Slammer’ in 2003, that caused a meltdown of corporate computer networks of Continental Airlines, a nuclear power plant and Seattle City’s 911 service among others. One of the reasons for Slammer’s success was the fact that many private networks had been connected to the internet without adequate safeguards, highlighting the need to keep internal networks isolated. However individual employees would still need to access the internet, hence access has to be controlled and monitored, with only screened data allowed in and out ie an ‘air gap’ has to be maintained between private and public networks with tightly monitored ‘border crossings’. Another area of concern from the security stand point is the increasing usage of mobile devices to conduct company business on the go. Some companies even encourage employees to ‘Bring Your Own Device’ (BYOD).
Thus increasing power of mobile devices now leads to storage of large volumes of company data on the mobile devices like cellphones, tablets and notebooks. At the same time there are more and more Apps from eRetail and eCommerce service providers that mobile phone users would like to store on their handsets, for the conveniences they provide. However, these apps could also constitute a security threat to company information resident on the same hand –held device. Similarly, loss of such a device could prove catastrophic for a company. According to EMC Corporation, instances of ransomware are on the rise and cyber crimes are moving from simple theft to the stage where a perpetrator now seeks to destroy an entity completely. Other areas of concern are the security of information being passed on a company’s internal telephone network which could be tapped, the possibility of listening devices being implanted in an office or on the person of a visitor, unauthorized usage of a pen drive to siphon off information from a company computer, and, clandestine photography of documents followed by their quick dispatch using social media sites like whtsapp and Facebook. The above would appear to indicate a convergence in the roles of the Security Manager, the IT Manager and the communications provider. However while the IT manager is usually engaged with keeping the computer systems going, a dedicated IT Security Manager reporting to the Security Department is required. Thus the Security Department of a company has to go beyond its traditional role of gate and premises guarding and has to induct elements of ICT in order to carry out its functions. Security professionals need to have greater knowledge of likely sources of data breach, information leakage and areas of intrusion into an organization’s network. Consequently, security companies who once dealt solely in physical security and later began to provide electronic security equipment as well, would do well to provide hardware and software for plugging the above described security breaches as well.

Gunnebo India caters to enterprise â&#x20AC;&#x201C;wide security solutions. a&s India interacted with Som Gangopadhyay, Deputy Managing Director and Executive Director- Sales & Marketing, Gunnebo India, to know the future plans. BY Anant Joshi, a&s India
Q How the brand Gunnebo is evolving in
India? A
FEBRUARY 2017
www.asindia.in
Gunnebo is a mother brand of the holding company. We rarely use this brand on our products. As an organization a have a few products in electronic security and entrance control where we use Gunnebo. Most of our products are known by product brands like Chubbsafes, STEELAGE, Minimax, Fichet Bauche etc. STEELAGE (Estd. In 1932) was a known brand among our target audience in BFSI segment. It was a conscious decision to push Gunnebo and product brand together to gain prominence as Gunnebo in India was entering into its growth phase (2009-2014). It has been a glorious growth phase of 5 years when have grown six times in terms of topline. Today Gunnebo is a familiar name in the BFSI, Industrial and Infrastructure sector. Almost all Banks in India are buying safes and vaults from Gunnebo, it is one of our largest businesses in India. Within Gunnebo World, India has become a prominent entity. Lot of investment was done to fuel the growth. Gunnebo has invested over Rs. 40 Crore in its Halol plant near Baroda in Gujarat. We are currently implementing the final phase of expansion at Halol plant. Gunnebo India is consolidating its brand equity in the market and aiming for sustainable growth in the near future.
80
How Gunnebo India continues to be is still relevant in the era of demonetization and cashless economy? Q
A We are one of the fastest growing economies in the world with more than 7% growth rate. The intent of demonetization was good. I personally believe that this situation is temporary and it will pass of off. Our major business is depending on banks. Banks have gone through major stress in handling the demonetisation and remonetisation phase simultaneously. Their entire infrastructure was busy implementing it. This has given us a temporary jolt but it will not last for long time. Current government initiatives are moving digitization faster. Digital economy is always welcome. Anything good which can happen at a cheaper cost is welcome. Digital economy can spread fast and reach wider. However the question is how far we are ready to reap the benefit? Digital economy will require digital network far stronger and wider. According to RBI data India has 12 bank branches and 18 ATMs for 100000 people; it is lower than Brazil or China. The Physical reach of Banking will still be required to bring in a large number of people within the ambit of the formal channel. Call it Financial Inclusion or any other name. The Bank Branch sizes may reduce with less number of customers visiting Branches in cities, but more number of branches may come up in villages to bring about the last mile connectivity with the citizens of rural India. Cashless economy initiatives by the government are welcome but it may take some time. We see a possibility of change in our product mix with thrust on cashless economy. As an organization we will remain a physical security and safety provider. Our motto is to work for a safer world. We will provide safety to your secures along with storage solutions. We provide security and safety to people. We will stay put, we will stay invested, we will we stay committed to what we know to do better. We are a Nordic (Swedish) company. As the only Region in the world cash in circulation is going down there. So we understand the market dynamics of a Cashless Economy. We have to wait and watch if Indian economy also goes the Nordic way. We shall be ready with solutions supporting such a market shift. Q What is the outlook for 2017? A We managed our businesses quite well despite challenges in 2016. We are looking forward to double digit growth in 2017. We are looking at all our business segments optimistically. Our prospects in Infrastructure, Industrial, Corporate and BFSI sectors are looking positive.
Q A
Your thoughts about “Make in India” programme?
We have been making in India for long. Though we are a multinational company, 95% of all products that we sell in India, we make in India. We invested to set up a R&D centre at Halol, in India. This centre supports products not only for India but it supports products for other markets as well. We also export products made in India. We are very proud of it. Government is quite supportive to us and we are happy about being in Gujarat.
Q Latest product offerings launched by Gunnebo? A We had recently launched a range of Biometric Access Control Safes and Vaults, which is completely designed, developed and manufactured in India. We are very proud of it. We made a solution that is targeted to Indian audience. We are getting very good response from the market. It is truly advanced product by putting mechatronic solutions by making them both active and passive resistant. The cost of these electronic safes is much lower. We have miniaturized the entire premises electronic security system inside the safe. Unless and until you break the vault or safe you can’t disengage them. They operate on GPS and have SIM card inside which can call for help in need.
We have also demonstrated our global capabilities with Robotic Locker concept. The cost of maintaining a locker and safe is a huge cost for banks. Here we offer 50% saving on the space and no man power is required. It’s a win -win proposition for the banks and customers. Indian banks are quite positive about it. Q What are the latest global trends in BFSI
Sector?
A The physical bank branch banking would transform. It has transformed over the last ten years after the strong inroads made by private sector bank. We see private banks will take on more responsibility for retail banking over their Public Sector Bank (PSU) counterpart. Today PSU banks hold 60-70% of total banking of total deposits and advance and 20-21% is being held by Private Banks. Going forward private banks share would grow up. The merger of PSU banks is another trend. Most of the PSU banks will grow much larger after the merger; they will take on the role of large ticket loans and investments in terms of infrastructure. This is the direction government is taking, which is a positive step. There are three technologies that have a disruptive impact on retail banking namely IoT (Internet of Things), Automation (Transaction Platforms) and Robotics. These three new technologies will be adopted by banks in the near future to provide convenience to the customers. Q What are the Future Plans of Gunnebo India?
A Our key strategy is to get back to the glorious growth rate, which we did in the past. We are positive about Smart city initiative by the Government. We are a strong player in the mass transit space (Metro, Bus Rapid Transport, Airports and Sea Ports). We are looking at education and healthcare segment to provide fire safety solutions. Banks has always remained our forte so we are providing many solutions for BFSI Security segment. Above all Security is an ever evolving subject and it keeps on evolving with time and trends.

A Globally, markets are moving towards greater visibility into who is connecting to their networks and what they are doing on the network. These business requirements are arising out of internal security threats and greater risk of complex attacks based on various vulnerabilities. Such kind of attacks require greater and deeper analysis of what is happening on the network. Some of the trends which are beginning to emerge in India are network access control, policy driven platforms and open architectures which are tightly integrated and protected.

Our Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi is very intelligent leader; whatever action he has taken (demonetisation and remonetisation) it will help the business to grow three times.
Q
Your views on “Make in India” programme?
FEBRUARY 2017
A Government’s “Make in India” programme is good but we lack support in marketing. Most of the leading companies spend 40 to 60% of the budgets in marketing as just manufacturing is not end of the game. You need to do lot of marketing and promotion to get success in the market. There are no ‘Make in India’ pavilions in the existing trade shows in India. The US government has stopped some companies by policies and trade restrictions from entering their market. Our government can also do the similar policy changes to promote the cause of ‘Make in India’ Programme. Government can provide support to companies in exhibiting their products in International trade shows. We are not getting that kind of facilities ,which other countries are providing.

As we all know that Smoke and toxic gases are the leading killers of fire victims. Roughly 70% of all building-related fire deaths are directly related to byproducts of combustion. Dense smoke can obscure the visibility, irritate the eyes, and cause fear in individuals caught in a fire. Our Firestop systems are designed to contain fire and minimize the amount of smoke passing through joints and penetrate to allow occupants more time to safely exist the building and minimize the loss of property due to fire. We develop products to create openings in wall and floor assemblies (drilling or core rigs), and products to secure the penetrating items through installation systems, anchors. Providing a product to “sealup” these openings is a natural fit. The type of product used to seal these openings will depend on the assembly penetrated. If firerated, then a firestop product must be used. If a non-rated assembly is penetrated, then foam may be utilized. Hilti can offer a variety of solutions for all of our customer’s penetrating needs. Hilti’s firestop products are tested to the highest standards ensuring that only the best system solutions are delivered to market as a trusted Hilti Brand. Hilti has been saving lives, protecting assets and enhancing building performance across the globe for more than 20 years. In India, Hilti started its direct operations in 1997. Since then we have been striving to live our purpose of passionately creating enthusiastic customers and building a better future. In our Firestop Portfolio, we provide passive firestop system solutions like Intumescent sealant (FS ONE MAX), Speed Sleeve (CP 653), Fire blocks (CFS BL), #304 Stainless steel composite sheet (CFS COS), Expanding foam (CP 620) for all kind of electrical openings with penetrants of cables, cable bundles, cable trays, Bus bars etc. Firestop Wraps (CP 648 E), Collars (CP 644), Cast In devices (CP 680), Drop in devices (CFS DID) for combustible and non-combustible pipes applications. Acrylic sealant (CP 606) and Silicon Sealant (CP 601S) for top of wall joint, dry wall joint and construction joint applications. To make curtain wall joints, fire and smoke seal we provide joint spray called CFS SP WB. Hilti has performed extensive testing in through penetration and construction joint applications. However, due to variations in construction throughout the phases of project it’s not possible to test every application, therefore, we have developed a process called “Engineering Judgements” for creating custom drawings to accommodate particular applications. We are committed to provide right and efficient solutions of all passive fire protection to our customers with dedicated fire -protection specialist and engineering team across India.

But we can do it, and the payoff will be millions of people lifted out of poverty.” Even the United States has unbanked households. 7.7% of U.S. households do not have a bank account according to Urban Financial Services Coalition survey. However, the vast majority of bankless adults live in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and India.

In India, at least 50% of the 1.3 billion people are unbanked and have no access to the convenience of electronic payments common in the west, making it the largest unbanked population in the world. There are only 182,000 ATMs across India with only 15% of adults using an account to make or receive payments with 72% of bank accounts showing zero balance. While many Indians are unbanked, mobile phone adoption is on the rise. India has about 200 million mobile subscribers and is adding 5 million new users monthly.

With more than one-third of the world’s population unbanked and more and more people using mobile phones, there is an outstanding opportunity for mobile payment technology to bring the financially omitted into the economic majority. Microfinance institutions are able to offer more competitive loan rates to their users to take advantage of lower costs due to dealing in cash. What are mobile payments? Quite simply, mobile payments are is a form of payment using mobile phones in lieu of cash, check, or credit card allowing a customer can use a mobile phone to transfer money or to pay for goods and services. A customer can transfer money or pay for goods and services by sending an SMS, using a Java application or other mobile communication technologies. In India, this service is bank-led with Mobile Payment Forum of India, the organization overseeing the deployment of mobile payments in India. Mobile payment technology removes the need for direct access to a bank or credit union. Mobile payments are much less expensive than other money transfer options. The option to tap into the power of mobile payments is readily available on the majority of the devices people own. How is our global banking world affected by large pockets of our population that are unbanked? It is being impacted by the growth in mobile network operators and mobile payment platforms, not classified as deposit-taking institutions, who are acting as banking agents. In Kenya and Tanzania, over 25 million people use the M-Pesa mobile payments platform, operated by Safaricom and Vodacom, with money sent via text message. In India, there are about a dozen mobile payment players in the field including Paytm, Mobikwik, Oxigen, Citrus Pay,
Freecharge, M-Pesa, ItzCash, Itzcash, Airtel Money, mRupee and MoneyOnMobile which has serviced over 170 million cumulative unique mobile phone subscribers through over 306,000 retail distribution points across India. These mobile payment platforms provide a financial tool which allows retailers to easily and quickly assist consumers who pay physical cash to complete bill payment and money transfer services. Retailers have a variety of methods from which to generate transactions: using SMS text messaging, mobile application or the web. Bill payments include prepaid/postpaid cell phone time, prepaid television time, utility bills, travel tickets, assisted eCommerce and transit cards. As the industry is being transformed with “fintech” companies disrupting banking, there is uncertainty about the future of the industry and how it will look in the decade. Does mobile money pose a threat to the banking industry? Accenture Consulting “estimates that bringing unbanked adults and businesses into the banking sector could generate about $380 billion in new revenue for banks.” There’s no doubt that mobile money presents an exciting symbiotic platform for the global banking community. The reality is that the unbanked community is the most natural place for banks to look for their next 100 million customers. Mobile money provides a democratic gateway to banking which doesn’t care where you live or the amount of money you have. It is a great marketing tool for the banks to uncover people who are using money services but are unknown to the banks. Banks can leverage their regulatory experience, infrastructure and consumer trust to capture the unbanked mobile money market. Mobile money platforms feed cash into banks and act as a virtual branch network without the costs of an actual brick and mortar facility.
