GCC Countries Look for Diversification

Middle East Supplement NOVEMBER 2016

he Middle Eastern security market maintained its high growth in 2015 and 2016 due to terrorist threats and the local governments’ strict security and safety policies. While the impact from the fall in oil prices still lingers in this market, some economic stimulus coming from the government’s latest strategies and planned international events — the 2020 World Expo and the 2022 Football World Cup — are expected to support the growth of these countries. Dubai again sets an example for others in the region as it is the first to focus on new fields in manufacturing, such as those for aircraft spare parts, boat building and pharmaceuticals. Approved by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the U.A.E., and Ruler of Dubai, the country would like to launch the “New 2030 Dubai Industrial Strategy” in order to inject US$44 billion into its economy, according to (Arabian) Business.com. After the U.A.E., we can expect more GCC countries to follow this route to diversify their income sources. These economic reforms will also benefit the regional security market. In addition to government investment, the commercial/private market sector can be another focus for security in the next few years. Demands coming from the government and private sectors will continue to push the innovation and customization of local suppliers for more “smart” solutions across verticals. In this special supplement, we once again introduce our a&s “Security 50” reports and ranking for 2016 to the Middle East region. The top 50 global security companies are also major players in this region, being involved in multiple mega-security infrastructure projects. They either have branch offices and subsidiaries in this region or rely on their local partners to penetrate into the end customer sector. The top 50 companies have been transforming their offerings from traditional security and safety solutions to connected smart solutions, following the trends of the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data. Especially in the Middle East region, we will continue to see the most innovative and cutting-edge project installations from these top 50. With the new strategic economic plans and policies of the local governments, these countries expect to achieve diversification to break free from their reliance on the oil and gas business. Security suppliers should pay more attention to the industry migration in this region, in order to provide more customized solutions for their prestigious customers.

NEDAP SECURES PARKING AREAS AT DUBAI AIRPORT

Nedap’s long-range vehicle identification system, uPASS, was installed in the parking area at Dubai Airport to provide safe and convenient vehicle access without forcing tenants to stop their vehicles. Every resident uses Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Windshield tags or UHF ISO cards that contain a unique identification number. The uPASS Reach, based on UHF technology, is a hands-free device that allows consistent readings of up to five meters, so tenants do not have to stop to present their badges anymore. Automatic vehicle identification ensures a smooth flow of authorized people only and increases the safety of tenants, suppliers and staff. Nedap’s uPASS readers are connected to an access control system, which will make the process of rolling out identifiers much easier. This solution was integrated by Alpha Plus Security & Alarm Systems, the company that provides professional security solutions for local authorities, industrial and commercial clients. The parking is now better utilized by tenants and the authority, and the solution is easy to manage and to expand.

SEcurIty BY Prasanth Aby Thomas

n November last year, a militant group attacked an upscale hotel in Bamako, capital of the North African country Mali, taking 170 people, including several foreigners, hostage. The local security forces, with international help, were able to free most of the people held, but not before the militants killed 20 of them. In January this year, a group of gunmen stormed into a hotel in Burkina Faso, another African country, killing at least 30 people. Later in March, another attack on hotels in Ivory Coast left 18 people dead. Hotels, especially upmarket ones, are clearly seen as soft targets by terrorist groups as they often have foreign nationals. Terrorist groups looking to launch attacks on other countries seem to find this indirect route more convenient. According to IntelCenter, a firm that tracks terrorist incidents, in 2015 alone there were 25 attacks on hotels. The Middle East, Africa and Asia have been the main targets for such hotel-

related incidents so far, although terror attacks like those seen in Paris and Brussels have prompted demands for better hotel safety in Europe too. Terrorism-related fears have cost the travel industry US$8.2 billion, according to a report from the data-collection site YouGov.

Increased demand Such a strain on the travel and tourism business has shed light on the importance of implementing and tightening adequate security solutions in hotels. The solution providers we interviewed differed on how the market is reacting to this necessity, but at least some of them believe that safety concerns in hotels in these regions have shifted focus after the recent terror attacks. “While in earlier years hotel security was mostly about avoiding fire and theft, the potential of terrorist attacks has certainly influenced the security strategies of many hotel operators,� said Baraa Dakhel, Head of Business Development in the

Cybersecurity: Electric grids, oil refineries and power plants are major targets for cyberattacks. The oil and gas sector would need to spend $2 billion on cybersecurity by 2018 in order to protect itself from attacks.

n February of this year, the price of oil per barrel reached a 12-year low in the U.S., dipping below US$27. Despite prices coming back up to around $50, it is still half of what it was two years ago in 2014 when the price per barrel was around $100. In terms of security investment, lower barrel prices have meant that companies are looking to reduce operational expenses, not at the cost of security, but instead more efficient security. “While overall oil production has slowed, the demand for oil and gas production has continued to increase, and with this growth comes the demand for producers to safeguard investments at production facilities across the globe,” said Russell Ost, Vertical Market Manager for Global Oil and Gas at Pelco by Schneider Electric. “This means the security industry is poised to see more investment made in security solutions and business organization resources that will meet the needs of regulatory committees and security officials charged with protecting people and assets in a facility.” Amit Mattatia, President and CEO of Opgal Optronic Industries, noted, “Even when the oil and gas industry is experiencing a downturn, security remains high on the agenda due to increased threats, especially in emerging markets, from terrorism, piracy and sabotage. It’s always important for the oil and gas companies to ensure a strong security budget is maintained during this period.” In fact, the oil and gas security and service market size is forecast to grow from $26.3 billion in 2015 to $33.9 billion by 2020, at an estimated CAGR of 5.2 percent from 2015 to 2020, according to a

The Present andFuture

of the Middle East Security Market

The security market in the Middle East is expected to grow as more investment are placed towards it. The economic growth in the region will see more end users invest in better security to protect their assets. Rising perception of threats will also influence the market as companies are searching for effective security technologies to strengthen their protection. BY Ryan Liu

This countries in the Middle could peak in the next two years and on East have started to to 2019-2020. gain momentum in this field. More companies are shifting their investment focus toward security technology as the perception of threats has become higher. Even though oil and gas has recently been on the decline due to the fall in oil prices, it still remains a major driver in the growth of the security market, with Figure 1: The Middle East Commercial Security Forecast recovery of oil prices set to happen Gulf Cooperation in the next few years. CounCil According to a market research report The members of the Gulf Cooperation by Frost & Sullivan, the physical market Council (GCC) have drawn some attention in the region would have reached US$3 to its surge of growth in recent and billion in 2014.

This is expected to continue in The same report said the U.A.E. and the next five years with a CAGR of 24.2 Qatar will be expecting a boost in percent as spending is expected to reach

26

growth in the next six years, with the upcoming Dubai World Expo 2020 and FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. More than $350 billion is invested toward building infrastructures including metros, hotels, stadiums, etc. Implementation of security for these major events will further increase security market growth. It also mentioned that in the electronic security industry, video surveillance remains the dominant market share holder. Much of the revenue gained by IP surveillance is due to expanding IT infrastructures, consumer awareness, government mandates and global companies in the GCC. There has been an increase in demand for biometrics every year because of decrease in prices and the need for advanced technology. Fingerprint biometrics still remains at the top for access control due to its low cost and ease of usage. However, facial and iris technology is expected to grow in the next six years. US and European players still dominate the market, with other regions including rising Asian competitors.


national Defense seCurity The Middle East region has seen its fair share of terrorist activities, and the recent rise of attacks has placed much of the government’s focus on creating a Homeland Security Model. Land, maritime and aerial border security are just some of the security measures being taken into account. Concerns over safety and security have increased the demand for reliable equipment and services to protect the region. Frost & Sullivan stated that the homeland security market will be expecting a growth from $7.2 billion to $34.2 billion between 2012 and 2020, at a CAGR of 21.5 percent. For GCC members, there has been a major rise in security budgets. Data from International Quality & Productivity Center (IQPC) Middle East shows that spending by the U.A.E. is set to double in the next ten years from $5.5 billion to more than $10 billion. Saudi Arabia will focus on protecting the oil industry and securing borders, and will reportedly increase spending from $7.8 billion to $15.4 billion by 2018. The IQPC report stated that investing in border security has become priority for many members of the GCC. Saudi Arabia is set to invest $26.3 million and Dubai is allocating $11.2 million. Recently, Saudi Arabia completed the Northern Border Project, which secured the country’s borders with 40 new surveillance towers across 559 miles of frontier. The towers are equipped with Airbus DS TRGS-SEC radars and day/night cameras linking to 38 communication towers. Use of fiber-optic cables ensures the link from the towers to the command-and-control center and the Ministry of Interior will allow for fast responses to threats. Another concern in the GCC region involves combating narco-terrorism threats. The Ministry of Interior of the U.A.E. has prevented 42.5 million tramadol pills and 492 kilograms of other drugs from entering its borders recently. Groups from various regions, including Latin drug cartels, terrorists from Africa and local narco-terrorists in the GCC states, have been shipping drugs through the Gulf States to markets in Asia. Additionally, IQPC believes that intelligence sharing among members of the GCC can potentially improve the prevention of drug shipments with the “Networking the Networks” initiative. The goal of the action is to connect national, regional and inter-regional law enforcement with critical information. This in turn may enhance coordination, sharing of intelligence and better assistance in tracking criminal activities. To further enhance the exchange of information, “Stub and Spoke” technology allow for coordinated exchange of data from central processing and analysis hub. “Network Fusion Centers,” on the other hand, will allow easier interchange of data. Countries, such as Bahrain, are implementing electronic visa systems to further improve the immigration process. Using systems and other technologies from aviation IT provider SITA Information Networking Computing, they are able to monitor traffic patterns of high-risk passengers. The U.A.E. protects itself from threats with advanced integrated systems that provide target detection, identification and other automated system which offers awareness to threats.

future of MiDDle east Market The security market is forecasted to experience continuous growth in the Middle East. The oil industry may place more investment into security as a recovery of oil prices is anticipated post-2017. More and more end users are willing to invest in better security to protect their assets from potential threats. Updating older technology such as analog systems to IP-based systems will further carry the security market upward.

Concerns Over Fire Safety Fire safety has also been a great focus in the Middle East with rising number of fire-related incidences. According to a report from Frost & Sullivan, dry environment and high building infrastructures remain the main drivers for fire safety concerns. Oftentimes, investment toward fire safety only consists of a fraction of total construction costs. Governments are revising past fire regulations to meet current standards and replacing outdated fire equipment to better enhance fire safety. Based on another report from Frost & Sullivan, the fire safety market in the Middle East is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 12.5 percent from 2012 to 2020. The revenue is expected to rise from US$1.6 billion to $4.2 billion, turning the region into one of the largest fire safety market in the world. The U.A.E. and Saudi Arabia will lead the market due to tight fire regulations and may encourage other countries to follow. The research firm also reported the main growth drivers are expected to be from commercial, retail, industrial, hotels and hospitals, with residential and other infrastructures contributing to new demand. The many high rises in the GCC have led to challenges when it comes to protecting these structures from fire. Research done by Frost & Sullivan shows that inconsistent safety codes across the globe bring difficulty to manufacturers which creates unstable demand for solutions. The decline of oil prices has placed much of the investments toward critical requirements instead of fire and safety. Many older buildings are also of great concern since they are not up to date on current codes and retrofitting them may not be in the budget for building owners. Single sensors are no longer considered reliable even if it is cost-effective. A switch to multi-sensor detectors causes fewer false alarms and combining it with other technologies could lead to greater protection. The demand for firefighters to combat high-rise fires brings much concern for their health and safety. The rise of the fire and safety market will open up many opportunities to improve the current state. More investment in fire safety is expected as an economic growth and construction boom is seen in the region. The oil industry may place more attention on fire safety with the anticipation of rising oil prices. Better technology can reduce damage and save lives, while safety code revisions will further protect current and future structures.

he Middle East (ME) region has always been a promising land favored by investors from all over the world. Its leading petroleum reserve has made some countries, especially in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), some of the wealthiest countries in the world since the 1960s.

ME SEcurity MarkEt GrowS DESpitE EconoMic Difficulty According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the average fiscal deficits of GCC members are expected to reach 13 percent of their GDP. Saudi Arabia faces a deficit of 21.6 percent in 2015 and 19.4 percent in 2016. The plummet of oil prices has caused a headache for GCC members.

Fortunately, security investment from local governments still remains high. The Sales Manager of Optex Europe said, “Government projects and royal projects will still continue to grow because there is a huge fear of terrorism. Certainly in the Emirates, we are seeing a higher level of interest in putting added layers of security in

ConCerns on market Conditions as growth slows THE OVERALL VALUE OF PHYSICAL SECURITY PRODUCTS HAVE GONE UP, BUT A COMBINATION OF FACTORS, INCLUDING STRENGTHENING OF CHINESE MANUFACTURERS HAVE HURT GROWTH IN THE VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SECTOR. BY Allan McHale, Director, Memoori Business Intelligence

Middle East Supplement NOVEMBER 2016

46

emoori’s 2016 Annual Report shows that the total value of world production of physical security products at factory gate prices was US$28.4 billion, an increase of 4.5 percent on 2015. Over the last five years the market has grown by a CAGR of 8.2 percent, showing a significant fall in growth over the last two years. Of this, the total sum of video surveillance products at nearly $15 billion take a share of 53 percent, access control at $6.8 billion takes a 24 percent share and intruder alarms at $6.6 billion has a 23 percent share. Access control has maintained its growth of around 10 percent this year as it further penetrates the IP Network business and moves into biometrics, identity management and wireless locking systems. This is the second consecutive year that it has turned in the highest rate of growth. The intruder systems business, the “father” of the physical security industry, has long since reached maturity but its increasing use of radar and thermal cameras have contributed to growth edging up to 3.5 percent in 2016. In the video surveillance market, growth fell for the second year to 4.2 percent despite the fact that growth in volume was well up, due to the major Chinese competitors making very significant reductions to their prices in Western markets.

this will therefore rise and physical security will benefit from this. In the commercial world the demand for more comprehensive connectivity across all three of the branches of physical security business and the business enterprise will grow aided by IoT technology. This will become evident during 2017 with a moderate acceleration of growth through the following four years. We forecast a CAGR of 5.7 percent over the five-year period 2016 - 2021. Not particularly optimistic considering that it managed to grow by a CAGR of 7.8 percent during an unstable period from the end of 2010 to today. But whilst growth in volume terms will be well over 10 percent there is little chance of sales revenues achieving much more than half of this whilst the major Chinese companies continue reducing their prices in order to win market share and boost volume. There are many technology drivers that are supporting growth in the market and those that are having most influence today include: VSaaS, ACaaS, identity management, biometrics, analytics and software platforms to bring about integration across all three physical security business. Wireless communications, thermal cameras and even HD analog cameras are curtailing the flow of IP cameras into the SME market.

REGIONAL DEVELOPMENTS

DISRUPTION BY CHINESE COMPANIES

In 2016, growth in demand for physical security equipment has been highest in Asia including China despite the fact that growth has declined. Growth has been much more modest in North America whilst Europe is at the bottom of the growth league table. Memoori’s forecast for the next five years to 2021 is based on world market trading conditions continuing to slowly improve with modest gains in GDP growth in the developed world. Terrorist activities are unlikely to be quelled during the next five years and government budgets to counter

However, the major issue at the moment for all the Western-based manufacturers and stakeholders in the video surveillance business is not the disruption caused by emerging technologies but the need to quickly find a business model to compete with and stem the tide of Chinese products. Most of the successful Western manufacturers of physical security equipment have focused on one sector of the business with some specializing in a limited number of verticals and making sure that they can offer an end-to-end solution.


This still works well in the access control and intruder alarm businesses, but is now coming under threat in the video surveillance sector as the two major Chinese video surveillance manufacturers, Hikvision Digital Technology and Dahua Technology go for volume through driving down prices to meet the needs of commoditization and ensure their long-term future. Based on their protected home market and copious financial backing from the Chinese government, they have been able to pursue this strategy and have now successfully penetrated North America and parts of Europe, where they are rapidly winning market share. They now respectively hold the number one and two positions in the video surveillance market and there is no sign that this strategy will not continue to gain market share. When we published our first report on physical security in 2009 neither of these companies were considered as serious contenders in the international market place, only being formed in 2001. Hikvision listed on the SME board of the China Shenzhen Stock Exchange in May 2010 and now has a market capitalization of more than $20 billion, has a staff of over 18,000 and operates right across the globe. Both of these companies have specialized in video surveillance and are by far the largest two companies in the world, and until more recently did not have products at the leading edge in the high growth IP Network camera business. So how will Western video surveillance manufacturers redefine their business models to meet this challenge? Will the majors such as Axis, Avigilon, Bosch, Panasonic and Samsung reduce their margins to build up volume to compete with the Chinese and the longer term needs of commoditization or decide that they should invest more in innovative products that offer a better Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) metric? Price is not the king across all segments of the market and neither does TCO meet all the buyers’

“IN 2016 GROWTH IN VIDEO SURVEILLANCE PRODUCTS ACHIEVED 4.2 PERCENT, ACCESS CONTROL 10 PERCENT AND INTRUDER ALARMS 3.5 PERCENT. GROWTH IN THE VIDEO SURVEILLANCE MARKET HAS FALLEN FOR THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR AND NOW IS LESS THAN HALF THE CAGR IT ACHIEVED IN THE PREVIOUS THREE YEARS.” requirements. Most of the Western companies mentioned above will struggle to reach the $1000 million revenue mark unless they either bring their margins in line with the Chinese competitors to win more share or deliver more innovative products that offer a better TCO metric. We suspect that they will go for the latter and combine this by achieving scale through merger and acquisitions.

NEED TO FIND A WINNING STRATEGY Under these circumstances you would have expected Western manufacturers to have seen this problem coming and have been more aggressive in the acquisition of video surveillance manufacturers in order to increase volume and benefit from the inevitable growth of commoditization of video cameras. But this has not yet happened on a scale to make much difference. A further retreat into specialization is not a particularly desirable solution and is likely to force companies that go down this route to eventually become system suppliers. However, with the growth of the IoT, this could be a strategy worth pursuing for some and let the product manufacturers fight on price and lower margins.

This has been taken from the eighth edition of Memoori’s Annual Report “The Physical Security Business 2016 to 2021”.

IP SecurIty SyStemS:

Stepping StoneS for CyberattaCkS COMPILED BY the a&s editorial team (Source: SIA Education seminar at ISC West 2016)

The introduction of IP technology has made physical security systems – video surveillance, access control and alarm systems – susceptible to cyberattacks. However, the major risk lies not in an intruder seizing control of camera operations, but rather in their use of the physical security system as a stepping stone to obtain sensitive information inside the organization. An SIA Education seminar during ISC West attracted many attendees who came to listen to speakers from Tyco Security Products and Surveillance One discussing the topic. Middle East Supplement NOVEMBER 2016

n today’s connected world, IP-based security systems offer numerous breach points for cyberattacks. The vulnerability of these systems is quite a conundrum, so the biggest question is how we can make these physical security systems more secure.

Risks AssociAted with iP MigRAtion Switching from analog to digital IP-based video surveillance systems can make systems more open. Although this move can benefit the users in many ways, the resulting system can pose as a threat to the organizational network. The reason is that IP-based security systems, whether it’s for video surveillance or access control, can run partially or entirely within the corporate network; thus, an unprotected system can become a “jumping board” for hackers to get into the private system.

50


POtEntIaL SECurItY BrEaCh POIntS This risk is not limited to the intruder taking control of the physical security system, but also includes the damage that can be inflicted when they gain access to the larger IT system. This understanding was one of the main conclusions made at the seminar. The risk and potential damage of an intruder exploiting the vulnerabilities inherent in a camera or VMS to gain access to other IT systems is the most serious aspect of cybersecurity as far as physical security systems are concerned. The first known cybersecurity attack that used this approach took place in August 2008 in Turkey. Unknown hackers took over the IP camera system guarding a British petroleum pipeline connecting the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean. The attackers managed to hack into the system, disable the camera system and the alarm system, and then proceeded to manipulate the pressure in the pipeline until it exploded. To cover their tracks, the attackers deleted over 60 hours of video footage from the server. Luckily for the investigators, one infrared camera that was not connected to the same network captured the images of two men with laptop computers walking near the pipeline days before the explosion.

InaDEquatE SECurItY SYStEM PrOtECtIOn It is a paradox, but in many cases, operators neglect their physical security systems, making it less secure compared to other endpoints in the network. But if we take employees’ personal computers as an example, they are usually password-protected and the IT department makes it a point to regularly update security patches or change passwords. On the other hand, it is not uncommon to discover that the password for the video surveillance system is still the default one, one that

DetermInIng the neeD for IncreaSeD SecurIty To circumvent possible attacks, many integrators add additional layers of defense. However, is it really worth the effort? To determine this, integrators can do two things: perform a balanced risk assessment that will evaluate the real risks their clients are facing or try to assign the risk an estimated monetary value.

rISk EvaLuatIOn

To estimate threat levels, integrators need to consider several factors: the intent and capabilities of the attackers, the vulnerabilities of the site and the consequences of such an attack. When there is a high threat level, integrators should alert their clients and make sure they make the needed changes to the size and scope of the project to ensure its security. For example, by deploying secure switches that can separate networks from one another and protect data transmission or use other hardened equipment to make sure it is harder to breach the network perimeter.

EStIMatIng MOnEtarY vaLuE

By assigning monetary value to risk, integrators and clients can keep costs under control and make sure they don’t “spend a million dollars on a 10,000 dollar problem.” The speakers recommended the following formula to estimate the monetary value of the security solution: Probability*Impact = Estimated Monetary Value. So for example, if the impact of an attack is the loss of 100,000 dollars, and the probability of an attack is 10 percent, then the monetary value of the solution is 10,000 dollars. In this case, investing more than that in securing the system might be overshooting.

can sometimes be easily accessed via a simple Google search. For IP cameras, an intruder can even walk up to the camera and use relatively simple technical tools to find out network details like IP addresses, user names, passwords and more.

CYBErattaCkS varY In tYPE anD StratEgY Cybersecurity challenges are not theoretical but real and can lead to catastrophic failures. At the national level, the main threat of cyberattacks mostly comes from other nation states and terrorists. Nevertheless, there are also many criminals working independently. Common scenarios warn of cyberattackers taking over power plants or water facilities and bringing the country to a standstill. This scenario became a reality in December 2015 when a cyberattack caused a huge power outage in Ukraine, affecting 225,000 residents. Hackers installed malware that allowed them to remotely switch breakers in a way that enabled them to shut down the power grid. The attacks can take many forms. They can be as rudimentary as walking up to a camera and connecting to it physically. Conversely, they can be sophisticated operations like zero-day exploits, where attackers take advantage of security holes in the software that vendors are not aware of.
