TRANSFORMING DEFENCE PROGRAMME

Defence Secretary formally launches NEWS IN BRIEF Independent review favours new Joint Forces Command body return of Control Orders Scrapping control orders that allow terror suspects to be moved out of London is likely to achieve the ‘reverse’ of improving national security, a government watchdog warned. David Anderson QC, the independent reviewer of counterterror laws, said provisions in the old control order system that permitted relocation of suspects had helped disrupt extremist networks.

across the Ministry of Defence in a generation.

Joint Forces Command has been designed and delivered from scratch in only nine months.

Over the next year, it will assume its full range of its planned responsibilities, It will also oversee the development of weapons for cyberwarfare, and recommend new ‘smart’ equipment that might make the difference in future campaigns.

Head of the new body, Air Chief Marshal Sir Stuart Peach, would not be drawn on the kinds of cyber-capabilities the UK will be looking to develop, and said the UK needed to better understand the threat.

In an interview with the Guardian, Sir Peach stated: “One of key ways to exploit this new command is to make sure that lessons are applied into education and training, so that our soldiers, sailors and airmen are better prepared.”

Indian PM says new age terrorists are tech savvy Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh told The Indian Express: “Newage terrorists are invisible and possess far better capability to create networks for sharing knowledge, skills and resources. It is therefore of critical importance that a security agency like the Special Protection Group should continue upgrading itself continuously, both in terms of technology and training.”

April marked the launch of the Joint Forces Command, recognised as a major milestone in the MOD’s Transforming Defence programme. Secretary of State for Defence Philip Hammond MP, attended a ceremonial event at JFC’s new Northwood headquarters.

The Joint Forces Command has been established to ensure that a range of vital military capabilities, functions and organisations – such as medical services, training and education, intelligence, and cyber – are organised and managed effectively and efficiently to support success on operations. By bringing together a number of joint defence organisations, the new body plans to ensure investment in joint capabilities is appropriate and coherent.

Its creation was recommended by the Defence Reform review, led by Lord Levene, as part of the most significant programme of change

University counter terror and airport security degrees

OLYMPIC SECURITY Torch security team ready for action after training at Hendon In the run up to the Olympics, the Metropolitan Police Olympic Torch protection team have been put through their paces in training exercise at Hendon.

The Olympic Torch arrives in the UK on 18 May and will embark on a 70 day tour of the country before arriving at the Olympic Stadium on 27 July for the opening ceremony. It will be accompanied on its journey by a 69 strong policing team, chosen in December 2010 following an eight month selection process and drawn from a range of policing roles including borough policing, CID, diplomatic protection group, traffic and airports.

The team, not all on duty at the same time, will cover a number of roles on a 24-hour seven-day a week basis. During the Relay the team will keep pace with each torch bearer and could see officers running up to 30 miles every day, for several consecutive days.

University backlash to UK Prevent strategy?

The government’s counter-terrorism strategy, Prevent, is facing opposition on university campuses over concerns it is discriminatory and encourages spying, reports the Guardian.

The National Union of Students (NUS) is expected to table a motion at its conference in April condemning as “totally unacceptable” approaches by Prevent officers asking for details of student Islamic society members.

On 6 February a home affairs committee review of Prevent concluded that students with extremist views were not always “subject to equal and robust challenge” at universities and recommended this be remedied with new government guidance.

A Home Office spokesperson said: “Prevent aims to turn people away from violent extremism. It is not about spying or intelligence gathering. The Prevent strategy makes clear that universities have a responsibility to help protect vulnerable young people from radicalisation. The vast majority of them recognise this and take part in Prevent.”

The University of Central Lancashire is introducing an undergraduate degree in airport security management and a postgraduate degree in counterterrorism. Both will be delivered by the university’s School of Forensic and Investigative Sciences.

Former detective chief inspector Andy Johnson said:“Our BSc in Airport Security Management is the first in the country.”

UK-Italy high level group on terrorism planned Following the tragic deaths of Chris McManus and Franco Lamolinara in Nigeria, William Hauge and Minister Giulio Terzi have announced plans establish a UKItaly high level group on terrorism A statement said: “We will support further work to build regional capacity to tackle the kidnap threat posed by terrorist groups.”

WILL THEY OR WON’T THEY? Although some airports have already started the procurement process, Liquid Explosive Detection Systems vendors hold their breath as EC ponders deadline, writes Chris Yates A report will land on the desk of European Union (EU) Transport Commissioner Siim Kallas this month that will directly influence whether or not EU airports will be required to meet an impending deadline to deploy Liquid Explosive Detection Systems (LEDS) equipment.

The report was ordered after last year’s debacle over the limited deployment of such equipment to enable a lifting of Liquid, Aerosol and Gels (LAGs) restrictions on transit passengers passing through European airports. This move descended into farce after intransigence by the aviation industry and interference from Washington DC, led to cancellation of the plan on the eve of its implementation.

BACKGROUND The civil aviation liquid explosive threat first emerged following discovery several years ago of a plot to down multiple transatlantic airliners whilst in flight from the United Kingdom to the USA and Canada.

That plot originally led to an outright ban on Liquids, Aerosols and Gels (LAGs) being carried in passenger hand baggage, but was subsequently relaxed to the 100ml per item contained in a 1 liter bag quantity restrictions we have today.

The restrictions were put in place pending development of screening solutions able to determine whether passenger presented LAGs might be a threat or entirely benign.

Under the guidance and direction of the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) and the European Commission (EC), numerous companies began an intensive development programme aimed at bringing hardware and software solutions to the LAGs threat to the marketplace.

These solutions were thoroughly tested under the ECAC Common Evaluation Programme (CEP), declared fit for purpose and deemed suitable for active service deployment in airports across the region.

EU regulation originally envisaged a dual stage deployment programme focused initially on transit passenger hand luggage and thereafter rolled out to E

AIRPORT SECURITY E encompass all passenger hand luggage.

The plan looked good on paper, but the relevant EU legislative and regulatory bodies didn’t factor opposition from the end user airport community and outright hostility from the region’s primary trading partner into the equation.

The regulation was therefore amended to reflect a desire amongst all parties to begin easing the much-derided restrictions on what can and cannot be carried in passenger hand baggage by the second quarter of 2013.

DEBATE Argument over the lifting of liquid restrictions has raged back and forth for a couple of years.

Despite expressing comforting words about a desire to support an easing of controls on what passengers may and may not carry in their hand luggage, the aviation industry continues to lobby against having to refactor existing solutions deployed in central screening.

product as a EU certified Standard 2 compliant Type C Liquid Explosive System (LEDS) software upgrade for single-view X-ray machines in December 2011.

This solution automatically detects liquid explosives and chemical threats in real time, in containers up to 2 L passing through the X-ray system. Within seconds, the software discriminates between dangerous and safe liquids even when their physical properties are very similar.

AMERICAN OPPOSITION US policy on aviation security may be a more intractable hurdle to overcome as the EU endeavors to ease the restrictions. US officials previously demonstrated their opposition by formally warning that additional security measures on EU originating passengers would be arbitrarily imposed if the controls were eased in line with regulation.

This step effectively prevented the few EU states already capable of screening LAGs

Compliance with the regulation may not necessarily lock airports into expensive hardware renewal though. In many cases, the capability to accurately screen LAGs can be achieved through a relatively straightforward software upgrade to already deployed x-ray systems.

It argues that any move toward lifting restrictions should be based on a sustainable technological solution being available, that ensures a high degree of probability of detection of a wide range of liquid explosive threats, but which should be passenger friendly and enhance the passenger experience rather than hinder it.

Behind this populist sentiment is the issue of cost. Figures indicate that security now accounts for almost thirty percent of aviation sector operational costs annually.

Lobbyists continue to argue that this is an unfair and unsustainable burden, particularly in an era when it has collectively stacked up multi billion dollar losses in seven of the past eleven years.

They contend that terrorism is a national security that should be addressed by national governments rather than commercial enterprises. Compliance with the regulation may not necessarily lock airports into expensive hardware renewal though. In many cases, the capability to accurately screen LAGs can be achieved through a relatively straightforward software upgrade to already deployed x-ray systems.

Canada’s Optosecurity Inc, won coveted European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) classification for its OptoScreener

for potential threats from lifting restrictions and prompted the rewriting of regulation.

Despite an ongoing dialogue between the two sides, no formal agreement has been reached as yet. The issue was last raised at the G20 Summit held in Cannes in November, but resulted in little more than the EU delegation urging their US counterparts to adopt more proportional security measures, to aid the free flow of passengers and goods in the transatlantic area.

The G-20 Summit is the avenue for member states to discuss, plan and monitor international economic cooperation. It resulted in little progress on the issues under discussion, including the lifting of the particularly onerous security restrictions.

HARDWARE Liquid Explosive Detection Systems (LEDS) equipment began to emerge in the marketplace a couple of years ago.

Industry end users argued against immediate deployment of the systems, challenged the protocols under which they were assessed and demanded further testing including in live airport environments.

ECAC bowed to industry demands for more rigorous testing, required that vendors resubmit their originally vetted

solutions for further assessment and subsequently published a revised list, at the end of last year, of verified hardware and software solutions meeting the highest standards currently attainable.

EU regulation encourages airports to take all necessary steps to begin installing this equipment well ahead of the currently proposed compliance date, but given the caveat that a final decision on whether to enforce the long proposed deadline will not be made for some weeks yet, the greater majority of airports are holding back from committing spending.

A small handful of more forwardthinking airport operators have begun the tendering process without waiting for a formal pronouncement from EC Transport Commisioner Siim Kallas. Dublin Airport Authority (DAA), which is responsible for Dublin, Cork and Shannon airports, has most recently invited the manufacturer base to tender to upgrade its presently deployed screening hardware.

However, by far the greater number of airports must still move forward and appear intent on leaving any procurement decisions until the very last moment. The biggest system vendors such as Smith and Rapiscan can weather the delay in implementing the liquid screening regulation.

This isn’t as easy for the many smaller specialist companies, such as Durham based Kromek and Cobalt Light Systems in Oxford, who have invested heavily in developing solutions, only to see regulation deadlines revised at the last hurdle.

Vendors are said to be quietly seething at the lack of progress and some are openly questioning whether politicians and the industry are merely paying collective lip service to enhancing public safety. The acid test will be whether the green light to go ahead with deployment is given or whether some other excuse is found to delay further still.

NATIONAL SECURITY The fear amongst vendors is that one or more governments opt to retain the LAGs controls for national security reasons. If this were to happen it could put the entire project in jeopardy, since the prospect of the confusion caused to passengers would likely result in suspension, pending a uniform lifting of the restrictions.

As vendors hold their breath and hope that nothing will conspire to prompt further costly delay, Transport Commissioner Siim Kallas remains uncharacteristically tight lipped on the issue, which is serving to caste doubt as to whether air passengers will finally see an end to restrictions as planned in 2013.

E SYRIA MELTDOWN Syria’s leadership is said to have no appreciable opposition capable of holding the country together in the event that Bashar al-Assad eventually goes. Assuming a meltdown does occur in the country, it will likely give rise to significant danger on Europe’s porous Eastern borders.

Bahrain has also been the scene of a crackdown on civilian opposition to the ruling elite with military support from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Saudi Arabia most recently introduced limited societal reforms in an effort to quell rising voices of dissent. The so called “Arab Spring” could potentially be turning into the “Arab Winter”.

COST-CUTTING Counter Terror Expo will be held at a time of deep governmental cost cutting as national economies globally strive to address issues gripping the financial markets. National defence budgets (including counter terrorism efforts) are not immune to such pruning.

History has demonstrated that such a policy has a tendency to leave the gate open to future attack. It is incumbent on the military, security services, industry and academia to drive this point home, whilst engaging in dialogue and developing solutions that fit with the current world politic at an acceptable and achievable price point.

THE BUSINESS MAGAZINE FOR SECURITY TECHNOLOGY – www.counterterrorbusiness.com

GLOBAL COUNTER TERRORISM In the twelve months since the Global Counter Terrorism conference last convened in London, dramatic events have occurred which have reshaped the threat horizon. Al Qa’ida leader Osama bin Laden is dead; its remaining leadership is being successfully targeted and the much-weakened terrorist organisation has further fragmented.

Meanwhile, hard-line leaderships across large swathes of the Arab-speaking world have been toppled in popular uprisings, bringing about a shift to democratic principles in governance and freedom of expression.

These dramatic events force us to reassess and realign counter terrorism strategies in line with the shifting threat horizon, but against a backdrop of considerable fiscal upheaval that threatens our ability to maintain secure borders, civil order and safe societies. This two-day conference brings clarity and focus to the important task at hand.

CRITICAL NATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE: PROTECTION, SECURITY & RESILIENCE The loss or compromise of any of the critical elements of the national infrastructure could have a major and detrimental impact on the national wellbeing, and possibly lead to severe economic and social impact. This is the potentially stark consequence of a failure to properly protect the physical assets, services and supplies a modern society requires to function.

This two-day conference examines the threat to the key areas of energy, water, food, fi nance, communications, transport, health, emergency services and governance, delivering insight into the threats each faces.

PROTECTING CROWDED PLACES Crowded places remain amongst the most vulnerable to possible terrorist attack and continue to be the most difficult of spaces to secure. Thousands of people pass through our transport hubs, visit major shopping centres, go to the theatre or catch a movie every day, and all are at risk from some form of attack.

This conference examines the utilisation of a combination of innovative building design, blast mitigation techniques and effective surveillance and policing methodologies to secure our most crowded places and protect the people who use them. With the more traditional of terrorist targets having been significantly hardened against attack, the imperative is to devise solutions that work for the remaining soft targets in these fiscally challenging times.

In today’s increasingly litigious society, businesses must ensure corporate governance and duty of care responsibilities are a central tenant of their crisis management strategy.

THE COST OF TERRORISM TO BUSINESS: BEST PRACTICE RISK MANAGEMENT The threat from terrorism continues to evolve, with the number of incidents and plots growing each year. With no peace dividend yet in sight the risk to business remains acute.

An business directed attack could result in major property damage, operational disruption, human casualties and long-term damage to both brand and reputation.

In today’s increasingly litigious society, businesses must ensure corporate governance and duty of care responsibilities are a central tenant of their crisis management strategy.

AON’s one-day conference will look at developments in the global terrorism landscape, and the human and economic impact on business. It will examine the full range of risk management options and what companies need to consider around their duty of care obligations.

CYBER SECURITY & ELECTRONIC TERRORISM Increasing global interconnectivity brings huge benefits to the way we live and work, but conversely delivers with it many challenges that we must still overcome. In the few relatively short years since the internet

became a reality, this digital phenomenon has become a playground for terrorists, criminals and hacktivists, bent on infiltrating computer networks and individual computer systems to steal information and disrupt operations.

The cyber security and electronic terrorism conference examines the magnitude of the threat and outlines how government agencies and corporate entities are putting in place effective counter-measures to appropriately protect restricted information, intellectual property and customer data.

IEDD LIVE THEATRE Counter Terror Expo will feature several new showcase events including the IEDD Live Theatre.

On the battlefield, in the public transport arena and within the urban environment, the threat from Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) remains potent.

Advanced threat detection methods, threat handling techniques and threat containment solutions are helping to mitigate the danger inherent in safe IED disposal and enhance the safety of those engaged in this difficult work.

ACCESS CONTROL FOCUS Access to potentially high risk buildings and facilities remains a key consideration in counter terrorism planning. Gaining access to a building or facility, especially critical areas, is sometimes all the terrorist needs to successfully carry out an attack. Without access control measures in place like high security locking, key management, biometric verification and identification, a terrorist is able to survey all the vulnerabilities of the building in order to commit a planned attack.

OLYMPICS Counter Terror Expo is being held in its fourth year against the backdrop of the UK hosting the summer Olympic Games.

In deciding to host this globally significant sporting event, the country has become a potentially major target for those who would wish to cause harm on the world stage.

Olympic Games security planning has been ongoing since the International Olympic Committee (IOC) awarded the Summer Games to the UK. Arrangements are widely regarded as the most robust defensive security model delivered in the history in the Games. Counter Terror Expo delegates will gain valuable insight into this planning in the immediate run up. L

THERMAL IMAGING

EMBRACING THE LATEST THERMAL TECHNOLOGY Argus introduces its latest range of thermal imaging cameras for law enforcement agencies There’s no doubt that our law enforcement officers rely ever more heavily on new technology. Highly advanced equipment helps police to locate criminals, communicate clearly and quickly, and keep the peace.

The latest technologies are important investments, providing evidence and allowing the police to be more efficient in carrying out their duties. One particular piece of technology in increased use is the thermal imaging camera.

If you’ve seen the news lately you will have heard about the recent London protests, where thermal imaging cameras were used on police helicopters to monitor the event. It’s a demonstration of the wide uses of thermal imaging – but it goes beyond simply locating people.

Leading the market in highly advanced thermal imaging cameras, Argus cameras surpass their competitors in technology, providing a range of settings and viewing options, with increased accuracy for use in many policing applications.

ARGUS TT TYPE In early 2012 Argus thermal imaging will launch a range of cameras designed with the guidance of a number of specialist police and security departments. The range will include a thermal torch for first responders called the Argus TT Type, a monocular camera called the Argus P Type for covert surveillance, and a specialist search camera called the Argus F Type.

The TT may resemble a normal torch but benefits the user in countless ways a torch never can, providing patrol officers with the ultimate advantage over criminals. Not only does it detect the heat signatures of people and objects in daylight hours, it also provides an abundance of additional advantages in the dark of night. Officers can quickly and effectively search between homes and buildings, see into dark garages, entranceways and under vehicles. They can scan car parks, where they can see suspects hiding between cars, and can identify vehicles that were recently driven. When used in total darkness, officers can go virtually undetected, as they search for prowlers, and other criminal behaviour. Officers will be able to use this new technology for a range of patrol applications including: fugitive/suspect search, officer safety, search and rescue, detecting evidence, routine patrols, training and assessing, routine raids, occupancy evaluation and collision investigation.

ARGUS P TYPE The Argus P type is a handheld, robust, simple-to operate, lightweight monocular thermal imaging camera which can power up fast. It is capable of withstanding harsh environments and provides the most superior features available on the market. Designed using sophisticated digital technology, the P Type offers users advanced thermal image quality, providing video recording and image capture to support the gathering of evidence. The P type has interchangeable lenses so will be a fantastic tool for covert surveillance operations, officer safety, fugitive/suspect search, collecting evidence, border surveillance and marine patrol.

ARGUS F TYPE The Argus F Type offers a simple-to-operate configuration; it is a robust, self-contained camera with fully automatic operation.

The camera is lightweight at less than 3lb and specifically created to help police and security personnel to detect heat signatures in specialist search operations. The F type uses a high-resolution 320 x 240 pixel Amorphous Silicon (ASi) microbolometer detector. It has been designed using advanced digital imaging technology providing it with the sharpest picture available and superior performance. The F Type comes with the most advanced features available in any thermal imaging camera on the market and is a superb tool for applications such as: • Drug interdiction operations • Detection of hidden compartments • Finding embedded electronic equipment The benefits to law enforcement agencies are clear: suspects can be caught quicker using less manpower and most importantly thermal imaging keeps the good guys safe and one step ahead of the criminal.

The cameras are not as expensive as you might think, Argus cameras have been designed to keep purchasing cost down, creating affordable effective tools for the fight against crime.

Clearly these cameras have a wide range of applications. Why not witness them yourself?

The Argus sales team will be demonstrating its new range of cameras at the Emergency Services Show in the UK, as well as Intersec in Dubai. This new range of cameras will be available to purchase in the new year why not book a demonstration now? L FOR MORE INFORMATION www.argus-tics.com

CTSS AWARDS 2012

Addressing the security threat through product innovation

Counter Terror Expo 2012

THE BUSINESS MAGAZINE FOR EDUCATION – www.educationbusinessuk.net

To be held on the 25th April after day one of Counter Terror Expo, the CTSS Awards will showcase the best in counter terrorism and security products from companies around the globe Organised by A-Z Group in association with Counter Terror Expo, the prestigious CTSS (Counter Terrorism and Specialist Security) Awards celebrates excellence and achievement in counter terrorism and specialist security. Companies from across these arenas submitted a vast range products and services for consideration in 12 categories.

After being reviewed by the official judging panel of counter-terrorism experts, almost 50 products made the shortlist. Voting went live on 14 February, with the winners to be decided by industry vote, independently audited, with the results announced at the CTSS Awards Gala Dinner after day one of Counter Terror Expo. The shortlisted products all demonstrate innovation and progress.

ACCESS CONTROL, ID AND BIOMETRICS Abloy UK - CLIQ Remote CLIQ Remote was developed to enable the use of truly intelligent keys and solve a number of end-user issues, while integrating into existing master key systems.

The uniqueness of CLIQ Remote comes from the ability to update in real-time

over the Internet and even using mobile devices, as well as integrating with padlocks.

Security managers are able to easily change the access rights to doors in the system remotely in real time. Key holders can thus be given time schedules for planned work and operating hours. The system is ideal for managing access to multiple sites remotely, with a full audit trail for both keys and locks so complete information exists regarding key usage and site visits.

Keys are updated using wall mounted or mobile updating devices. The mobile devices use GSM technology and can work over a mobile phone connection.

This is ideal where access is required to a facility at short notice, such as for repairs, maintenance or emergencies.

Access Management Solutions - Flex Flex enables absolute control over who may enter remote buildings or access infrastructure by enabling controlled access to sites using the power of a remotely dispensable and controllable intelligent key.

The keys become valid when authorised by

use of a card/PIN combination, after which their time-restricted use is fully accounted for.

Flex is ideally suited to utility companies and those charged with the protection of critical national infrastructure (CNI), including telecoms, rail and aviation.

A user with legitimate reasons to access CNI benefits from the knowledge that the activity is controlled and monitored – despite the site being remote. No additional equipment to achieve access needs to be taken to the site. When on site, access to intelligent keys may be authorised interactively, or be pre-arranged.

Meesons Al Ltd - Smart Access Control System – SMACS SMACS works by increasing existing security systems’ functions with enhanced recognition and bio-visual body mass analysis, thereby eliminating the threat of tailgating.

This system can identify the individual requesting access based on their body mass, confirming they are the owner of the access control card. It also determines whether the person is alone. Access is only granted E

The key objectives of Mantis RDSS are speed of deployment, flexibility of system design, self-supporting power, robust covert and resilient communications, ease of operation, as well as full service delivery and support.

BRS Labs - AISight (‘eyesight’) AISight was developed to offer a selflearning behavioural analytic solution capable of delivering real-time intelligence from CCTV surveillance systems, by sending accurate video alerts to the operator whenever unusual or anomalous behaviour is detected within the video scene.

AISight sends an operator a brief video clip of an event that has been detected by the system as unusual when compared to its ‘memories’ of stored normal behaviour.

The main premise is that there are many millions of cameras deployed but most video is viewed after an event has occurred, which may be too late in certain scenarios.

The BRS Labs system offers proactive alerts as anomalous events unfold and can be deployed across many thousands of cameras.

The major benefit is twofold; firstly, proactive video alerts of anomalous behaviour are generated in real time and delivered to the operator 24/7 and with no set-up of the system or human intervention

required. Secondly, the system uses many criteria to determine whether an object is behaving unusually which ensures that the operator does not receive false alerts – each alert is a genuinely unusual event.

Excelerate Technology Ltd Sherpa post-climbing camera and communications platform The Sherpa post-climbing camera and communications platform provides emergency services, security services, prison services, local authorities, companies, transport networks and border control agencies with a flexible CCTV solution that enables the fast deployment of temporary CCTV coverage where none was previously available.

Northrop Grumman - Federated Cyber Range (FCR) The Federated Cyber Range’s (FCR) primary function is to host an emulation of an existing IP-based network so that a network’s vulnerability to cyber attack can be determined.

The FCR can also be used for cyber defence operator training, research and development and general system performance testing.

In its primary function (network vulnerability testing), the FCR’s target market is any public or private organisation that uses an IP-based network. The key objective is to identify network vulnerabilities that could not be discovered by normal penetration testing against a live network.

The user benefit’s from having a network that is proven to be more robust against a realistic cyber attack, and from the ability to carry out incremental testing of future network modifications.

ELECTRO OPTIC, THERMAL IMAGING AND NIGHT VISION e2v - Argus Thermal Imaging Camera Only recently has the cost of hand-held thermal imaging reduced to an extent

that it can become a realistic option for routine work. The Argus TT TYPE has been developed to transform the traditional torch used by many patrol officers.

The Argus thermal imaging camera is a hand-held, robust, simple-to-operate, lightweight monocular camera that can power up fast. It is capable of withstanding harsh environments and offers many of the most advanced features available on the market. The user can go virtually undetected while searching for criminal activity.

The target group for the product is law enforcement, police officers, security personnel and search and rescue teams.

Other users include sailors and other security personnel on-board ships, where applications include piracy avoidance and detection, as well as the rescue of men overboard.

FLIR Systems - Quark Quark is a next-generation thermal imaging (TI) camera core – and it is the world’s smallest and lightest available on the market.

Quark brings TI to the next level for helmet mount applications, miniature hand-helds and (ultra) small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

The Quark TI Camera core is primarily intended for use by special forces, fire fighters, MoD, (miniaturised) security applications and UAVs.

HGH Infrared Systems - VIGISCAN VIGISCAN was developed to offer the equivalent image that a traditional microwave radar gives, but in the long wave thermal imaging band (LWIR wavelength is 8-12μm). VIGISCAN gives the capability to track moving targets (both hostile and friendly) and then to alert an operator with the coordinates of hostile target.

VIGISCAN is targeted at fixed high value assets, which need day and night 24/7 protection from hostile intrusion.

The product can also provide the same day/night surveillance capability for ships, tankers or other high-value vessels operating on the high seas, where threats such as piracy may be present.

IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE DISPOSAL DEVICE API Technologies - API Hawki Video Aiming Device The Hawki video aiming device is designed to take the guesswork out of ordnance disposal. The solution allows explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) technicians to quickly neutralise potentially lethal threats while keeping those nearby (and themselves) safe.

The primary function of the Hawki is to place crosshairs on an EOD robot’s monitor, allowing the bomb technician to make an accurate shot and render an improvised explosive device (IED) safe. While approaching a target, the crosshair shifts based on range to target showing operators the true point of impact for their shot.

No calibration or adjustments are needed by the operator to account for the range of the target.

The system also displays range to target and tilt angle at which the disruptor/barrel is aimed.

The Hawki aiming device can easily attach to any EOD robot using a PAN, disruptor or Bennelli M4 Super 90 shotgun.

Explosive Learning Solutions - CounterIED MATT/Awareness Training During late 2008 and early 2009 the number of improvised explosive device (IED) casualties sustained by the British Army in Afghanistan increased at an alarming rate. It was clear that the training for the average soldier in dealing with this threat was inadequate and a new training system needed to be developed.

The Army engaged a civilian training consultancy to help it examine the area of core Army operational training, that of counter-IED awareness training, for every soldier in the British Army.

The IED is an often indiscriminate weapon; the target audience was therefore every soldier, sailor and airman in the UK Armed Forces.

The training package is now a mandatory requirement for all serving personnel.

The primary objectives of the Counter-IED MATT/Awareness training are to reduce the number of casualties; in order to ensure UK Forces could operate effectively in an IED environment; to improve the ability of the training system to react to changes in tactics and equipment; and to improve confidence in counter-IED tactics and equipment.

SUPPORTING EMERGENCY SECTOR COMMS Satellite broadband, wireless video and interoperable communications are transforming incident command possibilities Riots, demonstrations, major sporting events, terrorist attacks, multi-agency emergencies and fast-moving firearms incidents: police and security forces have their work cut out for them preparing response scenarios and resourcing for a wide range of major challenges. This is being done at the same time as budget cuts are forcing police forces to cut police numbers.

One response to this major challenge is to use proven new communications solutions such as mobile satellite broadband, wireless imagery from throughout incident grounds, camera systems that automatically climb up poles and lamp posts, and integrated multi-channel voice communications – these give commanders working in mobile command vehicles and in control rooms a clearer, real-time view of what is happening on the ground so that they can deploy their forces more efficiently.

A NEW GENERATION OF EMERGENCY COMMAND VEHICLES In recent years the new generation of emergency command vehicles developed

by Excelerate, the UK market leader, and introduced by UK emergency services has helped deliver huge improvements in the way services manage the different types of incidents they deal with - at all levels: gold, silver and bronze. It is this type of new, high tech approach that helped Gwent Police manage the 2010 Ryder Cup with widely acknowledged success, using only modest levels of staffing while managing tens of thousands of spectators and high profile VIPs. New, improved communications across incident grounds and back to headquarters, using mobile satellite broadband, internet, voice and live wireless video, can deliver high speed data flows, real time situational awareness and a Common Operational Picture – within services and between services – at levels never previously achieved. This is important, because it means services are now able to perform much more effectively (and some of the mistakes of the past, highlighted by major incidents where lives have been lost unnecessarily, are less likely to happen).

Supporting this pioneering collaborative work within the emergency sector Excelerate

58

COUNTER TERROR BUSINESS MAGAZINE | Volume 9

has helped drive the development of what are now considered to be some of the most advanced mobile emergency command vehicles in the world. This is generating strong interest from police and security forces around the world. The company’s unique expertise means it has the capability to support a huge variety of different requirements from emergency services.

With budgets tight, growing numbers of emergency services are now drawing on the company’s wide variety of skills – specification, design, prototyping, development of bespoke solutions, integration, training, support and consultancy – to implement new installations and retrofit communications solutions into existing vehicles.

Surrey Police use an Excelerate-supplied ANPR camera solution linked from a vehicle by satellite broadband to provide live, completely up-to-date traffic monitoring, thereby enabling the force to obtain improved performance and even greater value from its communications investments.

Excelerate has supported these initiatives by pioneering many of the new technologies and integrated solutions that emergency services are now adopting to support their plans and operations. Key among these technologies has been the use of mobile satellite broadband and wireless solutions to deliver data, voice, internet and video to commanders. Ten years ago the company was quick to see the potential of these emerging technologies and to adapt them for specific emergency service use.

Critical to the success of these developments has been the need to identify how emergency service communications requirements can be best supported by the use of new technologies, followed by prototyping, systems integration within compact and ergonomically suitable work spaces, displays and control panels, thereby creating easy-to-use solutions.

This has been complemented with testing, training and exercising to deliver maximum operational benefits for the investments made.

These solutions are now being seen in increasing numbers of forward command vehicles and incident command units around the UK, vehicles which are changing command doctrine and the way emergency services work.

While there are variations in the different types of command suites and technologies used within the various emergency command vehicles supported by Excelerate Technology, there is generally a core set of common systems, features and functionality. Some of these solutions are unique to Excelerate, having been developed by the company’s research and development department.

To help services identify which solutions are likely to be of most use to them, Excelerate has compiled a straightforward User’s Guide to Mobile Emergency Command Solutions,

MOBILE SATELLITE BROADBAND COMMUNICATIONS This is at the heart of Excelerate’s technology offering, providing commanders with a robust, easily-accessible and high capacity capability.

Roof-mounted transportable satellite solutions provide resilient stand-alone broadband connections giving access to secure telephony, data, video, internet and email facilities.

Satellite broadband is highly robust, a key factor during major emergencies when other communications systems can be overloaded.

The system also allows remote login for problem solving

and support by Excelerate personnel.

Full voice interoperability between different communications systems - allowing users of a wide range of different systems such as TETRA, GSM, radio and landline to be patched together - can be achieved using the Communications Management Suite module, either on a standalone basis or within the Digital Dashboard Management Interface.

An Excelerate-developed product (UK Patent Application 1116053.8), the Digital Dashboard Management Interface solution has been designed by Excelerate Technology’s R&D department specifically for the emergency services market.

Excelerate’s mobile satellite broadband and other communications solutions integrate into large and small vehicles, such as this Mercedes Vito, and can also be retrofitted into existing vehicles

Excelerate is the developer of Sherpa, the highly innovative new ‘climbing camera’ CCTV and communications platform system that automatically climbs up poles and places cameras, including ANPR cameras, and other emergency response communications devices in high temporary viewing positions, giving police, emergency management, prison service and security personnel improved coverage of incidents and potential problems. Camera imagery can be controlled and viewed using iPads, iPhones or mobile and in-vehicle systems. Sherpa has the potential to make a major contribution to the policing of public order, transport and counter terror operations and is generating strong interest around the world.

In a special package deal created

by Excelerate, customers can now buy a complete ‘turnkey’ Sherpa solution (head unit, delivery unit, electronics unit, hand held controller and peli case) along with a tripod and a huge range of camera system options for attachment to the head unit (including dual thermal cameras) - all for an overall system price substantially less than other market offerings.

Because of its versatility Sherpa can be used in a wide variety of different roles. It can be deployed quickly by police forces to monitor rioting and public order incidents.

INDEPENDENT GSM NETWORKS RapidNet is a Private Mobile Network system that enables an independent GSM network to be generated at the scene of an incident if public GSM networks are overloaded or compromised during major incidents or because of other problems.

To support the new trend for using wireless cameras and ruggedised laptops across incident grounds, portable, battery-operated WiFi extension nodes can be used to create complete wireless MESH networks. Such nodes can be in the form of rapidly deployable tripods (with hot-swappable batteries), bodyworn nodes and vehicle-mounted nodes. L FOR MORE INFORMATION www.excelerate.info

SEARCH DETECT SECURE

THE BUSINESS MAGAZINE FOR SECURITY TECHNOLOGY – www.counterterrorbusiness.com

Search is a critical part of effective security operations, and the equipment used should enhance the human senses, not replace them, says Steve Chambers, managing director of SDS Group Effective search is a critical and often overlooked and underemphasised component of an active security operation. Search operations tend to be a low skill, boring and routine function that often does not yield any results. Therefore, there is a tendency to ignore it. Of course, search operations are conducted at transit locations such as airports and border crossings, large events and specific high risk venues, but a good number of these searches are completed incorrectly. Often people assigned to conduct these searches are untrained, unmotivated and unsupervised.

As search is a critical part of effective security operations, organisations need to focus more on conducting accurate and effective searches. I recently spoke with world renowned counter-terrorism expert Dr John Wyatt, MBE, who spent more than 25 years in the army, most of it as a bomb disposal officer.

Dr Wyatt has an intimate knowledge of correct search procedures, techniques and the critical role search plays in security operations and he agreed that most search operations could be more effective. He stressed that “search is not high tech, it’s pretty basic, but like a lot of basic things if it’s not done properly it’s pretty ineffective”. Dr Wyatt pointed out some ways in which companies could improve the results of their search efforts.

EFFECTIVE SEARCH There are three key components to an effective search: training, technique and supervision. Search personnel need to be trained in proper search techniques, which can be taught relatively quickly. This is a key missing component. Properly trained personnel, who rigorously follow a set of procedures based on their training, form an effective defence and deterrent against explosive and other illicit devices from being introduced into a secure area.

Equipment is the next component of effective search, keeping in mind its limitations. While politicians, bureaucrats and building managers are always looking for that piece of equipment that will positively detect an explosive or incendiary device hundreds of meters away with 100 per cent accuracy, 100 per cent of the time, (and at low cost), this utopian device simply does not exist. Search equipment should enhance

the human senses, not replace them. The human element, using experience, instinct and training, is the critical element determining whether or not a more in-depth investigation is warranted. “Search is a human operation enhanced by equipment,” according to Dr. Wyatt. “It is not an equipment operation”.

Proper supervision ties together your teams’ training and equipment by ensuring proper search procedures are consistently followed and the equipment used correctly.

As previously stated, search operations tend to be routine, boring affairs which rarely find anything. This is the nature of search - there usually isn’t anything to find.

In these situations it’s tough to keep people motivated, attentive and alert. That’s the management role, to keep searchers alert, focussed, motivated and following procedures.

BARRIERS TO EFFECTIVE SEARCH Time constraints and a fear of false alarms are the biggest barriers to conducting an effective and thorough search, even for properly trained personnel. Think about the searches we’ve all experienced, the ones conducted at the airport or at the entrance to a museum or public event. Screening personnel often speed up the search process when queues become lengthy, often dramatically reducing search effectiveness.

Dr. Wyatt relayed an experience he had with a museum that, when the queues became too long, implemented “quick searches” which, according to Dr. Wyatt, can be easily defeated. “They would have been better off randomly choosing individuals

for in-depth, proper searches rather than subjecting everyone to a quick, ineffective search. The element of randomness would have been a more effective deterrent to anyone seeking to bring in contraband.”

Search personnel are reluctant to cause false alarms and often view them as a problem, but false alarms are not necessarily bad.

False alarms, when based on a common sense analysis of the cause, where all the elements of an explosive or illicit device are present, are to be praised. These types of false alarms indicate search teams are effective.

Management needs to take note however, as false alarms that are not based on real world criteria can be a problem. For example, an explosive detector that consistently tells you there are explosive elements when there are none, can destroy the team’s trust in that particular device. Like the boy who cried wolf, people will tend to discount the indications which could lead to tragic results.

Little things make a difference. Something as fundamental and basic as search can be made much more effective when it is given the attention it deserves. Search personnel need to be trained in the proper procedures, given the appropriate equipment and managed to make sure they operate in accordance with effective search techniques and kept motivated. This is a simple step that can save lives and property whilst keeping us safe. L

Innovating hostile vehicle mitigation services to meet the demands of a rapidly changing world Hostile vehicle mitigation solutions or HVM is a term that only 10 years ago most of us would not have come across; it is now unfortunately a term that is frequently used in our industry.

In 2004 Avon Barrier was a traditional manufacturer of boom style rising barriers and commercial road blockers. It was bidding for a project in the Far East to supply road blockers for the entrances and exits of a high profile organisation, when it was asked to design a blocking system that could stop a vehicle if it tried to gain access by ramming or driving a large vehicle into it at speed.

There began its journey into its continual development of a whole range of hostile vehicle mitigation solutions.

An array of equipment is available today including road blockers, rising arm barriers, gates, fixed and rising bollards, fencing, walls, street furniture, planters and more, with various foundation depths, surface mounted products, fixed and portable solutions.

Many UK industry organisations have helped to educate those responsible for building and specifying Avon Barrier’s critical infrastructure, to plan-in mitigating measures at design stage.

A variety of components are

incorporated into a traffic management strategy to limit damage from a hostile vehicle attack, including: • Traffic calming to limit speeds of access to site; • Barriers for example in the landscaping surrounding the building or area to be protected, thus providing a stand-off, in the form of bunds, ditches or gradient landscaping; • Access control in the form of a physically active system, for example a gate or road blocker with a management plan for operation and emergency access.

As one of the UK’s leading manufacturers

and exporters of crash-tested barriers, roadblockers, gates and bollards with products in over 70 countries, Avon Barrier is leading the way for PAS 68 products in the export market.

A recent addition to its product range is the SG1100CR armoured vehicle gate with a clear opening gap of up to 7m – one of the widest PAS 68 impact-tested gates available. The gate is manufactured in high volumes and is commercially very competitive, competing with non-crash tested gates, making PAS 68 products accessible to a wider range of budgets.

The company’s design policy has always been to ensure that it makes products simple to install and simple to maintain. Often installed in the most hostile of locations, reliability and maintainability are attributes required to make them viable for a host of end-users.

Avon Barrier Company is a founder member of the PSSA (Physical Security Suppliers Association) and is exhibiting at the Counter Terror Expo in Olympia, stand F19.

Access Risk Control draws upon half a century of operational experience and leading-edge market research to deliver major event innovation Access Risk Control (ARC) is launching its unique mobile security check point at this year’s Counter Terror Expo at Olympia in April.

ARC has drawn on its management team’s 50 years’ experience in running major international public events both in the UK and abroad to identify the operational requirements of the event.

The company has long-recognised the increasing threat of terrorist and crowd disruption at high profile gatherings. After extensive international research involving law enforcement forces, government agencies and leading security companies worldwide, ARC has drawn on security sector intelligence to address the ‘additional risks’ presented to organisers at major events such as sport stadia, rock and pop festivals, street fairs and protest marches; in fact any large or even not-so-large crowd gathering.

The second generation model MCP2 is now available fully fitted with leading approved security management systems that include instant high level lighting, low and high level CCTV, scanning data collection, Iris

recognition, WiFi mesh data verification, long throw audio system, walk thru body and baggage scanners, narcotic and explosive detection, daylight video screens, and more.

The ARC system is contained in one secure quick to deploy and position unit for use within minutes of its arrival on site. It is fully self contained and includes a staff operating and screen control cabin. The onboard equipment suppliers

include RapiScan, Tower Lights, Aralia Systems, One Delta and Etherlive.

ARC’s experience has shown that not all users necessarily require the MCP2’s full capability, so the range and extent of on board equipment can be tailored to a client’s exact end user requirements.

Staff training and hire packages are also available for the MCP2. As an example of the unit’s equipment flexibility, One Delta’s Dale Fence panels (PXP) can be incorporated to protect against explosion fragmentation and provide external noise reduction.

The panels are made of mixed waste plastic and have a resistance to fragmentation travelling at 344 mp/s.

To fully understand the MCP2’s capabilities and how it will fit your requirements visit the website to view the deployment and set up video or call the office for a demonstration.

HIGH SECURITY SITES

MOVING TOWARDS HIGH SECURITY SITE VERIFICATION

The PSSA has long recognised the need for an integrated verification system for high security perimeter installation, as the historical approach of PAS 68 rated Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) products filling gaps in LPS 1175 rated fencing is inadequate for a number of reasons.

Primarily, end users look for advice from external agencies and experts to recommend practical solutions to meet their operational physical security requirements. However, this has involved discussions with independent organisations such as the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI), who work with critical national infrastructure sites, but does have a large influencing factor on other market sectors, and specialist security consultants to assist with the compilation of an appropriate operational requirement document.

Ultimately, the end user needs to define the threat type they wish to protect themselves from, be it terrorist or criminal attack and their modus operandi. Whilst the PSSA can assist with this definition, it is recognised that the advice from CPNI generally drives the global specification of any physical perimeter security solution.

Whilst in principle this should be adequate, due to the political necessity for the CPNI to remain fully independent, it does mean that they cannot recommend particular solutions which favour one manufacturer over another.

This is where the PSSA has a very important role in the process, as it can work with the industry to categorise products in such a way to allow them to be selected and matched together, enabling the end user to select the best product(s) for an integrated solution.

BUILDING ON THE PAS RATING As a first step, the PSSA decided to build on the recognised PAS rating system and instigate an independently certified verification scheme for individual HVM products. Often, PAS has been a misunderstood and misapplied standard when specifying HVM products, as it is a standard that confirms that a product manufactured and installed as tested should perform in the same manner as the crash E

ATG Access Pioneer the Security Market & Launch Another Leading Innovation ATG Access will be unveiling a new product at the Counter Terror exhibition, London Olympia 25-26th April (Stand F181). The new product being launched - the Titan MKII ‘Independence’ is ideal to be used on remote applications where access to any power supply is limited.

The product has been successfully tested in accordance with the PAS 68 testing criteria, arresting a 7500kg truck at 50mph. This provides the new product with a very high level of protection against vehicle borne attacks. Not only does the product offer a high level of protection, it is also aesthetically pleasing and economical for sites with high security needs.

A variety of different trade organisations have constructed a host of standards and quality measures that are used to benchmark product excellence across the access control industry. The Perimeter Security Suppliers Association accreditation (PSSA) has recently launched a product verification scheme which aims to raise the standard of vehicle barrier systems both nationally and internationally.

This is only the first step as the trade association also plans to extend this verification scheme to all perimeter protection systems and even the installation provided by contractors.

The system aims to promote and audit the quality of not only products but the surrounding system and company standards also. This relates to the quality of drawings, electrical control systems and quality standards adhered to throughout the company. This gives the end user reassurance of supplier and product quality.

ATG Access was one of the first of three companies to be confirmed by the PSSA as fully verified by the pioneering scheme. This UK drive to raise industry standards and provide a focal point for the market will benefit British manufacturers internationally. Vehicle Barrier system manufacturers based in the UK will soon see the benefit of these standards when tendering for jobs both nationally and

internationally. It no longer seems enough for companies to successfully pass an impact test. With the requirement to make the full product PAS 68 designation available to potential customers; not only do products have to pass the impact test, they will now be compared with similar and substitute products to analyse the quality of the product pass.

ATG’s continuous commitment to strive and meet the emerging standards within the market place has secured them a variety of high profile jobs across the globe. Recent projects have included contracts in London, Malaysia, Doha, America, Canada, the Netherlands and Thailand to name but a few. The company has grown by 30 percent over the last year and there is no doubt that this success can partly be attributed to British standards being promoted and held in higher esteem internationally. The access control market is becoming more regulated and the superior products are becoming easier to identify. Investment and partnership with eminent trade associations and government bodies such as the PSSA, CPNI and the NaCTSO will help British Manufacturers of vehicle protection barriers succeed internationally in the future.

HIGH SECURITY SITES Replaced Front Radius

E test. In other words, as long as all the conditions remain equal, the result will be similar but it is fair to say that much changes between the test and final installation, due to numerous variables such as site specific needs, dimensions and ground conditions.

Given the need to accommodate so many variations, the PSSA feels that removing one variable will give clients more confidence in their installation. Therefore, the Product Verification System launched at the PSSA annual conference on 8 December 2011 ensures that the product delivered to the client has been manufactured in exactly the same way as the one crash tested, with the same materials.

GOOD REACTION With the entire industry present at the launch, the PSSA was pleased with the reaction from the manufacturers, specifiers and end users, who see the product verification scheme as an important step on the road to raising the profile of the industry and generating client confidence. During 2012, the PSSA expects to see the large number of applications submitted from its members, for verification of products, resulting in a successful conclusion.

The independent verification scheme from the PSSA also encompasses the handling of changes to products to meet site specification requirements. It has long been accepted industry practice to offer ‘engineered solutions’, where PAS results are extrapolated to suit the modification, supported by an independent engineering report from a specialist consultant. The PSSA scheme has formalised this process, so that the product manufactured is covered by the same stringent requirements and process documentation as the PAS tested product.

This offers continuity and consistency of approach, giving client’s confidence in the solution. Now that the HVM Product

Verification System is up and running, the next stage is to develop a complementary fencing scheme. There is a paucity of standards currently available, with the only recognised scheme primarily dealing with manual attack ratings. The PSSA feels that incorporating this factor with the applicable PAS rating elements will enable a fully compliant series of products to address clients’ HVM challenges.

At the recent meeting on 23 February, the fencing members of the PSSA met to continue their discussions surrounding the fundamental challenges that the clients are asking them to address. It is clear that the plethora of fencing applications and lack of scheme is leading to client confusion and concern regarding over or under specifying products.

As an industry, the PSSA Fencing Verification Scheme will address these concerns.

In reality, the interaction between the HVM product(s) and fencing as an integrated solution to the operational needs of the client is the most important challenge the PSSA wishes to overcome. The current silo approach to this issue, with the stakeholders involved often working independently to achieve a cohesive solution, can be time consuming, prone to error and potentially expensive. These two schemes will bring the individual elements together and develop a system which enables clients to specify and match relevant products.

INSTALLATION The final logical step in the process is an installation scheme, which the PSSA has begun working on. Its brief is not only to ensure that the way an HVM product(s) is finally installed complies as closely as possible to the PAS crash test condition, important as this is, but that it compliments and works with other products on site, be it PAS rated or not, such as access controls.

One key element of any installation should

be whole life costs, but this is often either overlooked or ignored, which is alarming given the economic times we currently live in. As this should be one of the major decision factors, the suite of PSSA scheme’s will have as its logical conclusion a process for deciding on the most suitable array of products to achieve a commensurate level of security within a given budget.

WHOLE LIFE COSTS In fact, the volume of PAS tested products now available for selection by customers has increased competition and reduced cost. Coupled with an unrivalled level of innovation, offering differing solutions to the same problem, the client needs to have a mechanism of looking at whole life costs as one means of differentiating between manufacturers.

Clearly, static products generally require less on-going cost in terms of service and maintenance than dynamic products, so understanding the needs of each site is critical to an effective solution.

However, cost is not the only factor to be taken into consideration. As soon as a dynamic product fails, this can adversely affect the physical security of the site. The PSSA verification schemes will continue to work to improve the reliability of installed products, so that clients’ confidence in their security will grow. Also, the PSSA is well aware of how much networking goes on between customers and a consequence of this will be to raise the industry’s profile, further installing client confidence.

From time to time, products are subject to unforeseen damage in genuine accidents rather than hostile attack. Achieving a balance between products preventing attacks, but being able to be repaired expediently and cost effectively will also be an integral part of the PSSA verification schemes. E

E At the end of the day, security schemes involve so many stakeholders, from the end user client, to the consultant and main contractor, all of which have differing wants and needs. The historical piecemeal approach to meeting these needs has relied on manufacturers discussing with each stakeholder their requirements and promoting suitable products. This is not always wholly appropriate, as often what the client initially believes is required in terms of product is very far from the best solution, which can have disastrous and costly consequences. In fact, at the extreme, the solution may not actually prevent the event the client is concerned about, with the resultant repercussions.

FUNDAMENTAL DRIVER A holistic approach to physical perimeter security is one of the fundamental drivers of the PSSA, as it is critical that infrastructure is not only protected initially but is sufficiently robust and reliable in performance to continue the protection for a number of years. The PSSA verification schemes will drive the industry to ensure working with stakeholders during specification and on going operation will successfully achieve this.

As part of the PSSA rules, all members have to demonstrate an indepth underlying knowledge and experience, as well as undertake a level of training to achieve verification. This means that any client will have the confidence of knowing that the PSSA has independently verified the member’s products and installations, so the advice given at all stages will be robust and improve the effectiveness of the project.

SAFE OPERATION Another area the PSSA covers is the safe use of product, so a client can be assured that they are dealing with an organisation that can assist with the conundrum of balancing the security of the site with the safe operation of the products installed.

Ever-tightening regulations in this area are requiring the client to seek advice during the planning of the perimeter scheme, and the PSSA are well placed to assist.

The PSSA is well down the road towards a truly holistic approach and is setting the standards which it believes clients have been asking to be addressed. All its members are committed to see the PSSA achieve the raising of standards, both for the industry and the security of our critical infrastructure.

FOCUSING ON PERIMETER PROTECTION

Effective perimeter security seamlessly combines various systems and technologies so potential threats can be addressed in a timely manner, writes James Kelly, chief executive of the BSIA

When it comes to providing effective protection against any potential terrorist attack, given the continued heightened threat level in place in the UK, the ability to effectively secure the perimeter of a diverse range of vulnerable sites, as a first line of defence, is undoubtedly a key concern for Government agencies, the police and security managers on the

ground. Whether the location in question is transport hub – such as an airport or port - or another element of the critical national infrastructure, from power stations to oil terminals, it is imperative that integrated and robust security measures are in place. With the modus operandi of terrorists constantly evolving, as is their willingness to consider extreme measures, which could even involve chemical and radiological attacks, constant vigilance is a necessity as the reality is that terrorists will look to exploit any perceived vulnerability to their advantage.

PRACTICAL CHALLENGES Significantly, many of the locations in question cover large geographical areas and, as a direct consequence, have extensive perimeters which need to be monitored around the clock, as part of an effective security strategy which seamlessly combines various systems and technologies so potential threats can be addressed in a timely manner.

There is also the challenge, for those who have to manage perimeter security, that some of the most vulnerable locations also have a high throughput of individuals who should legitimately be there – for instance passengers at an airport. Consequently, a key consideration here is achieving an appropriate balance which ensures round-the-clock security of clearly defined areas of a site, where only authorised personnel should have access, without infringing too negatively on visitors and staff, so helping to maintain wider public support which is critical to E

PERIMETER SECURITY E effective counter terrorism operations.

Looking more closely at the type of security measures that can be put in place to meet the need for continued vigilance, where site perimeters are concerned, there have undoubtedly been major developments in the ability to create a layered defence by integrating technology which can be deployed, and managed, to provide an early warning of suspicious activity; the physical security measures that can be put in place, and the level of awareness and training manned guarding capabilities..

AN EYE ON SECURITY Undoubtedly, CCTV has a major role to play in keeping a watchful eye on critical perimeter areas as a deterrent and an active measure for early intervention. In recent times we have seen a growth in the take-up of HD (High Definition) CCTV which, when in place, offers the potential to deliver a much greater level of detail of high risk areas, compared to conventional solutions, for example at site entrances and exits. This greater clarity is invaluable when CCTV operators need to be able to distinguish between normal and suspicious activity, and allows them to pass on more detailed information to the authorities should police and other intervention be required.

There is also the challenge, for those who have to manage perimeter security, that some of the most vulnerable locations also have a high throughput of individuals who should legitimately be there.

VIDEO ANALYSIS In addition, many sites are now opting to deploy intelligent, proactive, CCTV measures such as VCA (Video Content Analysis) – as evidenced by BSIA research conducted last year - otherwise know as video analytics.

A key advantage with this approach is the ability to automatically analyse CCTV ultimately ensuring that it is only authorised images, using powerful algorithms, against vehicles that can enter a location. To secure specific parameters to produce meaningful access to high risk buildings and other areas information about the content, of a site - including entrances and which is invaluable when exits - ‘smart’ technologies are CCTV operators are faced being implemented.

potentially issue a verbal warning through on-site speakers to stop the intruder in their tracks - this tends to be a sufficient deterrent in over 90 per cent of cases. However, when considering a potential terrorist involvement, it may be more advisable to take another tack and avoid letting the individual know that they have been detected, instead operators can covertly direct the authorities to the scene where they can take the appropriate measures to deal with the suspect.

ENHANCED DETECTION TECHNOLOGIES For enhanced surveillance some sites are now deploying infrared thermal imaging cameras which can offer the potential for longer range detection of potential intruders.

Where perimeters are extensive at sites such as ports or airports, which are prime terrorist targets, additional measures such as fence detection systems, UGS (unattended ground sensors) and even radars may form part of the detection umbrella.

Crime monitoring and prevention: Derbyshire Police benefits from expertise in image processing Electrosonic installs flexible video wall technology at Derbyshire Police’s Control Centre to help incident commanders with crime prevention and terrorist threat monitoring.

The challenge: Electrosonic was selected by Derbyshire Police to install a flexible video wall and image processing system in their new control centre to increase the efficiency of their operations. Incident commanders identified a need to be able to view all of the CCTV images of an incident on a single, highly flexible platform and transfer selected images to displays in four meeting rooms within the centre, increasing collaboration amongst teams.

The Solution: Electrosonic installed a 5×2 display consisting of an array of Mitsubishi 50inch rear projection cubes fed from an Extron Quantum Elite multi-image display processor with 24 CCTV and ten high resolution RGB sources. Electrosonic worked with Tyco Fire and Security, who supplied the CCTV control system for the security project. Control and placement of the sources was achieved using Tyco’s Mosaic software integrated into the Commander control software supplied with the Quantum processor. The entire system

was assembled and tested at Electrosonic prior to installation, minimising the on-site installation time and ensuring that it would perform to the agreed specifications.

The Results: The control centre, which is central to crime prevention and terrorist threat monitoring, allows images to be sent from local authorities, site cameras and a helicopter link, to be received and displayed on the video wall. The image processor feeds images to four smaller rooms in the new control centre so that images displayed on the main video

wall can be shared for collaboration on larger operations. The system allows incident commanders to be more effective and efficient in the deployment of resources and in the command and control of incidents.

Ongoing service and prevention: The critical nature of control rooms means they must be in full working order 24/7 every day of the year. Electrosonic’s service team continues to support Derbyshire Police with regular preventative maintenance visits, telephone support and a four hour response time to ensure the continuity of their control room operation.

About Electrosonic: Electrosonic’s Control Rooms team provides technology solutions for control rooms and mission critical environments around the globe, including audio-visual design, systems integration, service and maintenance and lamp replacement programmes.

Marking a quarter century of designing, manufacturing and installing innovative perimeter security products 2012 marks a quarter century of successful trading for Cova Security Gates, designing, manufacturing and installing perimeter security equipment globally.

1987: Initially based in Horley, Surrey, gates, road blockers, bollards and barriers were designed and engineered to provide high quality, often bespoke, solutions to perimeter security requirements. An ethos of innovation and development grew; the team worked closely with end-users, architects, consultants and building contractors, satisfying the need for products which could cope with long term continual usage, often in hostile environments.

In the last decade, products which are CPNI regulated, TRL/MIRA tested and PAS68 compliant were added. A complete package is available, comprising design/ manufacture, installation, service and maintenance, giving customers reassurance that their perimeter security products will continue to give the best service possible.

2002: Introduction of tracked CSG10601/2/3 speed gates.

2003: Introduction of trackless CSG10604/5 speed gates. Cova was the first manufacturer worldwide to bring a trackless speed gate to market.

2005: CSG10503 road blocker gained a formal crash test rating (7.5 tonne @ 50mph) after the same (untested) blocker stopped

a vehicle-borne explosive attack in 2003 at the entrance to the British Consulate General in Istanbul, preventing detonation at the intended target, the main consulate building.

2005: CSG10506 shallow mount road blocker successfully crash tested (7.5 tonne @ 50mph).

2009: CSG10840/50 shallow mount bollards join Cova’s portfolio of crash rated products, providing two options, 7.5 tonne @ 40mph and 50mph respectively, designed for either straight or curved array installation to meet architectural requirements.

2010: A milestone year when, after requests from the company’s blue-chip clients for protection against hostile vehicle attacks, the world’s first crash tested speed gate (7.5 tonne @ 40mph), the CSG10610, was developed and introduced, followed swiftly by the CSG10611 (7.5 tonne @ 50mph).

2011: In response to specific client needs,

the standard sliding cantilevered gate was redeveloped using Cova’s patented arrestor technology, and the PAS68 rated CSG10140 sliding cantilevered gate was launched as a cost-effective perimeter security solution. 2011 also saw Cova move to a new and much larger, state of the art production facility in Crawley, Sussex.

2012: And today? That same patented arrestor technology is being integrated into a new urban barrier system: launch of this is expected once PAS68 testing is complete. Another product neatly fulfilling Cova’s ethos ‘Invention not convention’.

In what promises to be a good year, Cova is Crawley constituency’s nominated manufacturer in the governmentled Made By Britain initiative; CTSS Awards finalist (Perimeter Protection and Intrusion Detection category); and Gatwick Diamond Business Awards finalist (Innovation & Technology category).

Here’s to the next 25 years.

PAS68 BOLLARDS AND BARRIERS

BEAUTY, NOT A BEAST

Safetyflex presents its slimline, aesthetically sculptured PAS68 anti-terrorist barriers that blend into the landscape and urban street environment When we refer to PAS68 barriers and bollards, and hostile vehicle mitigation, people straight away think of these products as ugly, over-engineered and over-bearing, which scar the landscape.

PAS68 products have always been known to be oversized and military or industriallooking. They are however needed to protect our assets and key infrastructure, therefore aesthetics have been put aside.

Safetyflex Barriers has invented one of the most innovative PAS68 security products in the world today. We’ve taken away the overpowering large bollard, and concentrated on designing products that are slimline, aesthetically sculptured and that blend into the landscape and urban street environment, which architects and clients are always searching for.

Unlike standard PAS68 steel tube bollards, Safetyflex’s unique PAS68 bollards are manufactured using a special composition of spring steel allowing them to absorb extreme amounts of energy/impact thanks to its springflex technology.

On impact, the dynamics of Safetyflex’s spring steel bollards can move around five Cartesian co-ordinates, as opposed to a standard steel concrete tube bollard which can only move through one co-ordinate.

It’s this technology which enables the spring steel bollard to return to its starting point after impact – whereas other bollards would collapse.

We have found that most PAS68 Barrier and Bollard systems in the market place today are heavily over-engineered, with a large mass of steel, in and out of the ground.

94

COUNTER TERROR BUSINESS MAGAZINE | Volume 9

They require this large mass to stop the vehicle impact, fighting force with force.

Our concept is more of an engineered product. We do not fight force with force – we let the vehicle impact into the spring steel barriers.

The spring steel barriers absorb the energy from the impact and transfer the energy back into the vehicle. This allows us to use a very small amount of steel, and a small amount of rebar in a shallow footing of only 400mm.

Making the Safetyflex Bollards a lot

The group has a solid base of 40 years of manufacturing experience during which time they have won a string of top awards – including a prestigious Chartered Institute of Highways & Transportation CIHT/CPNI Security in the Public Realm Award in 2010. The award was for PAS68 Bollards at the Bournemouth Conference centre.

TESTED TO THE MAX Every single Safetyflex bollard and barrier is rigorously load tested at the company’s inhouse testing facility – providing customers

The world’s number one manufacturer of PAS68 spring steel barriers and bollards have a solid future after entering the busiest trading period in the company’s history. smaller and streamlined than existing PAS68 bollards in the market place also brings down the cost dramatically.

SAFETYFLEX – LEADING THE WAY The world’s number one manufacturer of PAS68 spring steel barriers and bollards have a solid future after entering the busiest trading period in the company’s history.

Safetyflex Barriers, a division of the GME Springs group which has operations in the Midlands, Yorkshire and Scotland, has live enquiries worldwide of more than £100 million and has made more than 10,000 antiterrorist PAS68 bollards in the last 12 months.

with a guarantee that the product they install will withstand extreme pressure.

Director Marcus Gerrard said demand for Safetyflex’s services has gone through the roof.

“We are now the world’s number one manufacturer of PAS68 spring steel barriers and bollards, and one of the major factors behind this is very much down to the vigorous pre-testing we carry out on every product we produce,” he said.

“These are the only pre-tested PAS68 bollards available on the market and we see this as a major factor why they can be seen protecting high-profile buildings across the UK and beyond.

“Our customers demand the highest quality E

E products and need to have confidence that in the event of an impact the barriers and bollards are going to work.

“Without the extreme testing we carry out as standard, there’s no way we’d be able to give them that guarantee. It’s this level of service which sets us apart from our competitors.”

Gerrard said the Bollard foundations in Safetyflex’s products are only 400mm deep and the spring steel is designed to withstand extremely heavy impacts and more than 20 years of wear and tear.

“In years gone by anti-terrorist bollards would only be used at high-security sites around the perimeter and to guard key infrastructure,” he added.

“Due to the environment we live in today we now supply these bollards to protect cash centres, sports arenas and shopping centres along with key government buildings and airports – so basically to secure any potentially vulnerable area.

We also offer our PAS68 Street furniture, benches, bike racks and planters. In addition we can offer a bespoke design, as all our products are manufactured in-house.”

EDGBASTON CRICKET CLUB One of the world’s top sporting venues is among the latest high profile clients of Safetyflex Barriers and the GME Springs group.

Around 200 PAS68 anti-terrorist security bollards have been installed by Safetyflex to protect the entrance to the new £32 million Pavilion End at Edgbaston.

Phil Macdonald, project director at Warwickshire CCC, said he was pleased to work with an innovative manufacturer like Safetyflex.

“We were hugely impressed by Safetyflex’s expertise and pleased a Midlands manufacturer has designed a top quality security system which really blends in well with the character of the stadium,” he said.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL “Everyone at Warwickshire CCC is absolutely delighted with the new Pavilion End. Every attention to detail was taken into account on the renovation and the bollards fit perfectly into the scene outside the ground,” Marcus continued.

“We were really pleased to be approached

by Warwickshire CCC project director Phil Macdonald to provide our expertise and play a part in the expansion of one of the world’s leading cricket grounds “The club didn’t want the standard PAS68 bollards, as they would have been too over-bearing for the new plaza, so were overjoyed with our slim line PAS68 bollards.

“The stadium looks fantastic following the renovation and we’re proud to have one of our bespoke security systems at the front of the ground.” L FOR MORE INFORMATION Safetyflex Barriers, Unit C, Boston Place, Foleshill, Coventry.

New product launch Safetyflex Barriers is delighted to announce the launch of its new range of Shallow Mount Bollards.

The bollards have a shallow footing of only 200mm, a fraction of the underground depth many products on the market require, and as with all Safetyflex’s products provide the highest security without the high price.

PERIMETER SECURITY

HOSTILE VEHICLE MITIGATION

Give your perimeter the protection it needs with a palisade hostile vehicle mitigation fence Securing the perimeter of Critical National Infrastructure sites from the terrorist threat, organised crime and unwanted intruders poses different kinds of security challenges but each can be resolved with a coherent specification-driven secure gate and fence line.

For decades, fences have been the first lines of defence, from basic boundary demarcation through to high security perimeters for CNI sites such as power/sub stations, military establishments, ports, airports, water treatment plants, banking facilities and refineries.

The only way to maintain the quality and give your perimeter the protection required is to purchase products from a manufacturer who makes the investment to develop their perimeter fences to security-approved specifications.

STRONGUARD RCS25 & RCS75 Adding to the HM Government-approved StronGuard range of security enhanced products, Barkers Fencing is pleased to announce that the highly successful StronGuard RCS high security palisade fence system recently passed two crash tests conducted at Transport Research Laboratory and gained the following PAS68 classifications: PAS68:2010:2500(N1G)/48/90 and PAS68:2010:7500(N2)/48/90 The development brief was simple: “We need a retrofit system!” After many hours of research and testing by the Barkers Fencing development team a solution was reached that enabled an existing StronGuard fence to be refitted on site and StronGuard RCS25 was born.

After the successful test at the TRL, we were given the task of tackling the 7500 tonne vehicle. A few weeks later we were back on the test facility and after a loud bang we can now introduce StronGuard RCS75.

“We are really proud that StronGuard RCS is the first Palisade based fence to achieve these PAS classifications. It can be retro fitted to the many kilometres installed both here in the UK and around the world. If ordered as a new fence system, many components will be incorporated in to the manufacture to make the onsite installation extremely simple.”

StronGuard RCS25 and StronGuard RCS75 fit well within the existing StronGuard Security Enhanced product range which also comprises: Interceptor, Invicta, articulated static bollards, road blockers and secondary fence systems all giving hostile vehicle mitigation protection, but now with the addition of StronGuard RCS existing installations can be retrofitted for added strength and security.

• StronGuard Interceptor • StronGuard Invicta • StronGuard Cantilever gate

• StronGuard Swing gates and fencing Alongside the many advantages and additional security of the RCS system the two main benefits are: the fenceline footprint will not increase by having to install two different perimeters performing two completely different functions, and users only have to install the posts with standard foundations, not the large amount of concrete that some other PAS products require.

FROM BOARD TO BORDER At Barkers Fencing there is a dedicated team of professional perimeter security advisors to assist in all aspects of the tender and specification process.

From the very start, Barkers Fencing has the expertise to offer help and guidance for each and every step.

We understand how difficult and time consuming it can be to find exactly the right products for each stage of your project.

Fencing design, specifications and requirements are no different. If you have a concept or design, we can create a bespoke system or recommend a solution from our perimeter security range to perfectly match your needs.

We can prepare detailed specification documents and provide complete drawings ready to be inserted straight into your tender documents and sent to your main or sub contractors.

INSTALLATION Barkers Fencing has also introduced an approved/licensed installer’s scheme which maintains the integrity of the product and also ensures correct installation procedures are followed. To ensure satisfactory installation an audit is completed after the fence line is installed, and a written report issued to the client. The installer is required to maintain a high standard of compliance or they run the risk of losing their accreditation. The Barkers Fencing ‘Licensed Installer’ scheme delivers a complete, compliance standard from start to finish.

Working together in partnership with Barkers Fencing, a safe and secure working environment for service personnel, employees and their families can be created, and assist in protecting the country’s vital national infrastructure.

Aircraft Carrier Alliance - Case Study CP Cases awarded Aircraft Carrier Alliance (ACA) contract to supply Rackmount Enclosures to QE Class Aircraft Carriers Introduction

About the Product

CP Cases, the UK based specialist designer & manufacturer of protective rackmount enclosures and transit cases is proudly supplying more than 1200 custom-designed rackmount enclosures and more than 4000 adaptors and brackets, for installation onboard the two new Queen Elizabeth (QE) Class aircraft carriers currently under construction.

The primary function of the network equipment enclosures is to provide physical and electromagnetic security to various types of Cisco IE Ethernet network switches and the thousands of accompanying connecting datacoms, Ethernet and fibre optic cables.

CP Cases won the contract in competitive tender last year and manufacture is now underway at the company’s West London plant. “The building of these two mighty ships is a monumental engineering project and we’re very proud to be part of it” said Peter Ross, Managing Director of CP Cases. “It is humbling to think that we’re part of a small elite group of engineering companies, which represent the “crème de la crème” of the UK’s finest manufacturers, and that the enclosures we design and build here in our factory, will play a mission critical role on-board these Royal Navy flagships.

We are part of a truly national project, supporting local jobs and communities throughout the whole country, with thousands of people working towards the single goal of making these ships part of our national heritage”.

The contract, worth in excess of GBP £1.25 million, is for datacoms enclosures of various sizes. The smallest enclosure accommodates 2 single units of 19” rack-mounted network switches; the largest cabinet stands almost 5 feet tall and can accommodate 29 units.

Also developed especially for this project are a series of plinths and brackets, which secure telephone handsets to horizontal and vertical surfaces around the ship, these are being supplied in phases between now and 2014 as part of the design, build and commissioning process.

The communications requirement is substantial – the carriers need constant contact with all in-flight aircraft, the consort group, HQ and land forces. The network switches process and route this vital communications data.

Each enclosure protects the 19” rack mounted switches from vibration, impact, particle and moisture ingress, and also provide screening from any electromagnetic interference (EMC/EMI) that could disrupt the mission communication systems from radar energy and other strong electromagnetic signals which are emanating from various positions on board, ensuring the ship’s sensors do their job without adversely affecting each other.

The first shipment of 400 enclosures have been despatched to central stores in Motherwell, for onward shipping to Rosyth where the first carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth is currently being assembled.

Commenting, Dave Bickley, Supply Chain Specialist from BAE Systems Mission Systems said “ Yet again CP Cases have exceeded our expectations regarding the swift progress, attention to detail and willingness to do the best job possible at all times”.

Working closely with BAE Systems, one of the four Aircraft Carrier Alliance (ACA) partners, CP are also integrating the power supply wiring, voltage filter and cable management systems in order that once installed into the ships, the enclosures are ‘plug & play’ ready.

No liability accepted for decisions made as a result of errors. Specifications may change without notice.

EMC Functionality CP Cases have introduced and utilised novel designs embracing the same materials developed specifically for EMC/EMI screening used as part of their own ‘ERACK’ series of portable Anti-Vibration rackmount containers, which are performance certified to provide a high level of electromagnetic sheilding.

Their solution for providing electromagnetic compatibility throughout all sizes of enclosures, also manages interference which could potentially emanate where the data transfer cables enter and exit the enclosures. CP Cases have developed a unique Cable Entry Port (CEP) which allows cables, with accompanying connectors, to be fed into and out of the enclosure through a simple “foam flap” letterbox system.

In parallel with EMI/EMC security, a primary function was to provide simplicity during equipment installation, maintenance and cable connectivity. Top & front covers are secured with unique tamperresistant TORX PLUS® fasteners ensuring access is limited to authorised service personnel. Ventilation panels in key areas, provide natural convection that dissipates any heat build-up even East of Suez.

The thermoplastic powder coated surface finish is applied onto an etch primed base; pale grey, it is applied electrostatically without solvents and cured with heat to provide a hard wearing semigloss surface finish. This is tougher and much less hazardous than conventional liquid paint coatings and has exceptionally high corrosion resistance.

This specially designed (and EMI/EMC performance certified) CEP, uses conductive closed-cell polyethylene foam, which compresses around individual data cables. Conventionally, each cable would have been installed via an individual four part metallic cable gland, and bearing in mind that many enclosures have up to 144 individual cable entry & exit points, the CEP system provides significant advantages on installation labour hours, providing substantial cost benefits and ensures any future systems upgrades are implemented efficiently.

CP Cases chief project engineer Roger King, said “Working on the QE Class programme has provided an invaluable insight into what it takes to deliver this major engineering project. The unique nature of working within this alliance of companies from the outset provides a great opportunity to develop and integrate the most practical solutions for network communications and hardware protection.”

Internal Functions Cable management rails inside the enclosures with “hook-n-loop” cable ties ensure that the recommended bend radius for each datacoms cable is never compromised and that network switch gear connections are safe-guarded against accidental disconnections.

The Nations Flagships CP Cases is delighted to be part of the project for the two new QE Class aircraft carriers, a huge national endeavour rarely witnessed in the UK. The project has created or sustained between seven and eight thousand jobs at shipyards across the country, with many more engaged in the supply chain producing all component parts and build for the two ships, boosting local economies across the UK. Construction of the two new vessels is the largest shipbuilding project ever undertaken by the Royal Navy, and also one of the largest engineering projects ever undertaken in the UK, second only to London’s 2012 Olympic Park. When completed, the two aircraft carriers will be the largest surface warships ever constructed in the UK. Everything about the QE class aircraft carriers is on a gigantic scale, in fact the massive size of the project is more than most of us can contemplate: The sections for the two ships, which are being built in six different shipyards across the UK, will be transported to dry dock in Rosyth for assembly.

Piecing together the mammoth three-dimensional jigsaw demands its own specialist equipment. Standing at a height of 68 metres (220ft), with a span of 120 metres (390ft) and a lift capacity of 1000 tonnes, the ‘Goliath’ crane is the biggest of its type in the UK.

The crane will lift and place the carrier sub-blocks and components without any disruption to the adjacent dockyard area. It dominates the south-west Fife skyline and is clearly visible from the Forth Road Bridge and approach roads.

Goliath is currently undergoing testing and it is estimated that it will have its final handover by the end of the summer, with an operational target of later this autumn.

Babcock project director Sean Donaldson said, “The civil works, crane, electrical package and general shipyard upgrade forms a £80 million programme designed to make the Babcock Rosyth facility capable of assembling the QE aircraft carriers. All projects within the programme are performing to budget and schedule, to high safety standards, and when complete the facility will be unique in the UK.” The number one dry dock at Rosyth, which was built in 1916, is understood to be one of the best locations for building the aircraft carriers. Rosyth has the largest non-tidal basin for ship repair in the UK, which is thought to be an ideal environment for assembly, outfitting and maintenance activities.

CYBER CRIME THREATS

Mitigating the cyber threat to a company’s business model, its shareholder value, its data, and its reputation is not something to be delegated to the CIO or the head of security.

Serious Organised Crime Agency chair Sir Ian Andrews says the company risk register could be the new cyber attack front line The National Security Strategy identifies criminal exploitation of the internet as one of the most serious threats to the United Kingdom, and government has committed substantial resources to tackling it. But this should not be seen by domestic businesses as some sort of security blanket which takes the pressure off the need for them to act. For all the upstream work that the Serious Organised Crime Agency and its partners are doing to contain risk and reduce opportunities for cyber criminals, the front line of defence is not a national or international boundary policed by law enforcement. It is in each and every company.

Robert Mueller, the head of the FBI, warned in March 2012

that the threat to the US from online attacks will shortly become greater than that posed by terrorists. “In the not too distant future we anticipate that the cyber threat will pose the number one threat to our country,” he said. “We need to take lessons learned from terrorism and apply them to cybercrime”.

A DRIVER FOR GROWTH The internet is a huge force for good and a powerful driver of economic growth and opportunity. But it also presents unique opportunities for criminals who are attracted by the ease of entry, low cost and risk, and relative anonymity it offers. Businesses need to understand the risks they face and the steps they need to take to protect themselves.

Organised criminals are agile and entrepreneurial. They are also almost always more motivated to commit crime than potential victims are to take pre-emptive steps to stop them. The criminal community is forever testing the boundaries of what is possible – it does not have to conduct due diligence, or refer to investment committees!The evidence of this is stark and, you might imagine, powerfully persuasive in influencing corporate security policy?

I’m not convinced it is - yet. But let’s consider the facts. E

CYBER CRIME THREATS E Although chasing down a precise figure is never going to be possible, a study for the Cabinet Office last year found that, of the estimated £27bn a year cost to the UK economy from cyber crime alone, the hit on business is more than £20bn. Almost half involves the theft of Intellectual Property.

Quite apart from direct financial losses, reputational damage also has a financial impact. Last year, a major multinational company reported direct losses from hacked personal data of £105m. The hidden cost in terms of damage to its brand, reputation, and shareholder value is almost certainly many times greater.

THE PHISHING PROBLEM In 2011 the Anti Phishing Working Group reported that over 38,000 phishing websites were being detected globally every month.

That was more than one new malicious site every 70 seconds. A CIFAS report around the same time reported that over 40,000 pieces of sensitive and financial information were traded on the black market every day.

While cutting edge attack systems may remain in the hands of an elite, the expertise to steal data in large volumes is available to new entrants to the market with the right connections and enough money.

Criminals operate their own self-regulated market for cyber crime goods and services, including stolen data, malicious software, technical infrastructure and money laundering: and they are able to operate on an unprecedented and industrial scale.

They will always hold the initiative and risk can only increase as more data is acquired, stored and shared and ever greater use is made of mobile devices.

It’s true that awareness of some risks is on the increase, for example around identity theft and credit card fraud. This is prompting more effective reporting and intervention and this month has seen losses at a ten year low. But other threats remain ahead of the business awareness curve.

MONEY LAUNDERING How many businesses, for example, are unconscious vehicles for money laundering, or have considered the possibility that they might be? The Global Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Threat Assessment, produced by FATF in July 2010, described the role insiders play in money laundering.

Criminals are able to understand how to undertake transactions while concealing their own involvement. Inside knowledge of a profession or sector can allow them to access financial products in an indirect or non-attributable way, making the tracing of funds or assets lengthier and more difficult.

The individual employee is also potentially the weakest link. This is rarely because they are malicious: more often it involves failure to apply basic security procedures. But the way in which individuals now openly communicate

Security & Policing

THE BUSINESS MAGAZINE FOR SECURITY TECHNOLOGY – www.counterterrorbusiness.com

The individual employee is also potentially the weakest link. This is rarely because they are malicious: more often it involves failure to apply basic security procedures. personal information about status and personal interests, in and out of the workplace, inevitably increases the risk of exposure to criminals. Corporate websites openly display key post-holders within organisations and company networked systems are used daily by staff at all levels to connect to social networking sites and browse online. The use of personal devices is commonplace at work and this can bridge unconsciously into business fire-walled environments. Criminals know and exploit these vulnerabilities to breach systems, recruit vulnerable staff, hijack identities and steal data and assets. It is dangerous to underestimate how very subtle this can

be, or the lengths to which criminals are prepared to diversify and infiltrate apparently low-risk areas such as the back office.

All this is evidence of the unavoidable fact that law enforcement can never expect to arrest its way to a cyber crime solution. As the private sector is the biggest economic victim of cyber attacks, it needs to be pro-active in mitigating the risks it faces. The crucial question is: where on the corporate ladder should a company vest responsibility for its cyber security?

Mitigating the cyber threat to a company’s business model, its shareholder value, its data, and its reputation is not something E

CYBER CRIME THREATS Asking the right questions

Security & Policing

THE BUSINESS MAGAZINE FOR SECURITY TECHNOLOGY – www.counterterrorbusiness.com

Do you have an accurate picture of the entirety of the cyber threat to your bottom line, reputation, or shareholder value? What about your supply chains?

Do you know what patterns of misconduct tell you about levels of disaffection in the workforce?

Or do you just leave that to HR? Do members of your workforce understand the threat and the role they play in countering it?

Have you thought about how personal data is stored, managed and retrieved, including that of your clients? Are the right controls in place over access?

What is your preparedness for the management of a critical incident involving data loss?

E to be delegated to the CIO or the head of security. It is a strategic risk which should feature on the main Board risk register and be firmly in the grip of the CEO. Defaulting, whether through ignorance or nervousness, to ‘specialists’ is to lose sight of the fact that the real threat is to the performance of the business. As Clemenceau might have said, cyber-security has become too important to be left to the computer experts.

So, if the evidence doesn’t incentivise Boards to take the threats to data security more seriously and protect themselves from attack, not to mention the legal obligation to protect the personal data they hold, what else might? Companies may be concerned about the impact on their business in terms of shareholder value or reputation should the story of a breach become public. But how can we help businesses to understand that the cost of addressing this business risk up front will be so much less than that of cleaning up after an attack?

Indeed, should we perhaps be looking for a paradigm shift in how we regard companies who choose to make a virtue of demonstrating how they have responded to the attacks on them. It seems to me that the investor community also has a huge role to play here: particularly if it is to demand evidence of awareness of the threat and the measures taken to mitigate it as a pre-condition for investment. This might also encourage greater disclosure within companies themselves and end the culture of keeping the bad news story in the server room and away from the Boardroom.

The Department of Business Innovation and Skills, which has the policy lead in this area, is actively working in partnership

How many businesses are unconscious vehicles for money laundering, or have considered the possibility that they might be? with business representatives, professional service providers and key professional bodies to facilitate the spread of best practice in managing cyber security as a corporate risk.

FOSTERING A THRIVING MARKET Primary objectives of the UK Cyber Security Strategy, to be achieved by 2015, are for the UK to be one of the most secure places in the world to do business in cyberspace and to foster a thriving UK market in cyber security products and services. To get there, businesses need to understand how to help law enforcement to help them by reporting and information sharing, which should be aided by the placement of Action Fraud as the single point of entry for reporting. The enabling legislation of SOCPA 2005 provided the necessary gateways, and many companies are increasingly willing to share information with each other and with law enforcement.

This dialogue will be enhanced by the joint private and public sector initiative launched by the Prime Minister last year to develop a national cyber security hub to facilitate information exchange between the private sector and government. Actionable information on cyber threats would be

Are your high value assets, including your intellectual property, adequately protected?

Do your governance arrangements recognise the risks posed by cyber crime? Do your nonexecutive directors have the skills and competencies to ask the right probing questions to provide assurance?

Does your senior team understand the need to ensure that they are not themselves vulnerable to attack? Would penetration testing show the Chair or Board members to be the weakest links?

shared by all participants to give a more comprehensive, and timely, understanding of malicious activity against computer networks.

We might not have all the answers now, but we can begin by asking the right questions. (see panel above). Taken together, all of these initiatives will, I hope, help reposition security and fraud prevention so that they are seen as essential profit centres rather than unwelcome overheads.

Because it is on the effectiveness of corporate defences against the threat from cyber crime that future prosperity is going to be increasingly dependent.

SECURITY & POLICING

Meaningful dialogue between police and industry

Security & Policing

THE BUSINESS MAGAZINE FOR SECURITY TECHNOLOGY – www.counterterrorbusiness.com

The Security & Policing event held in February brought together international professionals and experts in law enforcement, security, civil protection and national resilience to form a crucible of shared knowledge.

Counter Terror Business asks Chris Higgins, security events manager at ADS Group, for the lowdown.

Law enforcement professionals converged on Hampshire at the end of January for one of the most crucial annual events in the industry calendar.

The Home Office Scientific Development Branch Exhibition this year re-branded as the Security and Policing event and took place at FIVE in Farnborough between January 31 and February 2. Security and Policing is organised

by ADS, the UK trade organisation representing the Aerospace, Defence, Security and Space sectors, on behalf of the Home Office. It is operated as a ‘closed’ event bringing industry together with invited domestic and international visitors from the security and law enforcement areas. This approach enables credible, sensitive and meaningful dialogue to take place between industry and police, law enforcement and security professionals in a secure setting. Attendees must be approved by the Home Office in order to give visitors the confidence to discuss their requirements.

The Home Office Centre for Applied Science and Technology (formerly HOSDB), in partnership with ADS and UK Trade and Investment Defence and Security co-host the event at FIVE, Farnborough, Hampshire.

What are the main hot topics that have emerged out of the Home Office event?

Through the UK Government led Outreach Briefing programme at Security & Policing 2012, detailed analysis from senior government, police and industry representatives was provided on emerging developments in areas as diverse as Olympic security, technical surveillance, US-UK industrial engagement and EU counter terrorism strategy and investment.

Conflict Management is now at the forefront of the police service and government’s

strategy for the future. The ACPO Conflict Management conference which was held at Security & Policing 2012 focused on ‘The Changing Nature of Policing Conflict’ and provided key insights into the development of security for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The August 2011 disturbances and the use of social networking were just two of the topics covered by senior police officers.

Information exploitation and cyber security received the attention of a dedicated conference programme covering the national resilience to cyber attack and how partnerships between law enforcement and industry can deliver the UK Cyber Security Strategy.

Speakers on these vital subjects included James Brokenshire (Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Crime and Security), Detective Chief Superintendent Ollie Shaw (London City Police), Laurence Marzell (CNI Scan programme lead, Serco), Deputy Chief Constable Paul Crowther (ACPO Forensic Triage Lead, British Transport

Police), Ruth Allen (head of operations, Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre), and Detective Constable Gordon Holmes of the Police Central e-Crime Unit, Cyber Industry Liaison (PCeU).

What are your views on the current economic climate for security and policing?

The impacts of austerity and the comprehensive spending review continue to be felt throughout the UK security sphere.

However, cyber threats and e-crime are rapidly developing areas of considerable governmental interest and action. The National Security Risk Assessment identifies hostile attacks upon UK cyberspace and large scale cyber crime as a ‘tier one’ risk alongside international terrorism. The UK Government has allocated £650m over four years to improve national cyber security capability. E

SECURITY & POLICING E These developments also represent new and evolving challenges and opportunities to industry as they adapt to the new paradigm.

What do you think the future holds for security and policing in the UK? Police transformation, a changing procurement landscape and formation of the National Crime Agency will all have a significant impact on the UK policing and security over the coming months and years. This changing landscape and the likelihood of increasing levels of industrial engagement as outlined in the National Security Through Technology White Paper, provide the opportunities and framework for industry to work with government to meet the security challenges of the future through direct engagement at the Security & Policing exhibition.

Why do you think these types of events hold weight and are important?

UK Security industry holds four per cent global share of market and is the fifth largest exporter of security capability

globally. The Security & Policing exhibition exists to promote growth and innovation within the security sector, especially amongst small and medium sized enterprises and strives to increase the UK share of the global sector market.

The event provides the level of industrial engagement needed to enable UK Government to deliver its security and law enforcement priorities through the effective application of science, innovation and technology. Better engagement with industry brings with it understanding of the products and services available and the opportunity for UK government to inform industry of their emerging needs and priorities.

Security & Policing exists to promote UK industry in the security sector as partners of choice to an international audience.

This continues to be enhanced through the support of UKTI DSO in the delivery of an international VIP delegation programme to Security & Policing, significantly increasing new routes to international markets for UK industry attending and supporting the government’s growth agenda.

When do you plan to host something similar and why?

Security & Policing

THE BUSINESS MAGAZINE FOR SECURITY TECHNOLOGY – www.counterterrorbusiness.com

Continuing to drive the engagement between UK government and the security Industry, Security & Policing 2013 will take place from 12-14 March at FIVE, Farnborough. It will provide the vehicle needed to promote UK industry in global security market and is a key enabler to help grow the UK security industry; a desire reflected in the National Security Through Technology White Paper.

Security & Policing 2013 promotes a strong industrial base for the Home Office and its partners to utilise more cost effective solutions for frontline operations in support of national security and resilience.

It’s a platform to set out the challenges going forward, shaping how Home Office CAST would like the security industry to engage with UK government on future developments in national security. L FOR MORE INFORMATION Tel: 20 7091 7830 chris.higgins@adsgroup.org.uk www.securityandpolicing.co.uk

CLIO – a flexible IT critical incident management system to meet a wide range of policing needs CLIO is the UK’s leading IT critical incident management system and was developed

by Badger Software in conjunction with the police and the emergency services.

Although it was originally designed for managing critical incidents and crimes in action, it is now used extensively by police forces throughout the UK for public order event planning and management and counter-terrorism operations.

The system has been chosen by the Metropolitan, Thames Valley and Dorset Police and National Olympics Coordination Centre (NOCC) for use during the Olympics and Paralympics and recently successfully supported the muchpublicised Forward Defensive exercise, held in central London to test security and emergency services in the event of a terror attack during the games.

CLIO is also increasingly used in the commercial sector by companies that wish to protect against kidnapping, threat to employees and property, terrorist activity, product recall and contamination, public disorder and natural disasters.

The system provides a virtual incident room that can be secured on the organisation’s network or accessed over the internet, allowing individuals to respond to emergencies from the office or remotely via a laptop, BlackBerry or Smartphone.

CLIO allows all members of a critical

incident team to share accurate, detailed information, prioritise actions and track decisions, thus making the team more effective and better coordinated.

In addition, CLIO provides a full, incorruptible audit trail with evidential proof for use in any subsequent civil or criminal legal action.

Proven over 10 years in the most demanding of situations, CLIO is now used by almost all the police forces in the UK in many aspects

of police work and is the nationally approved system used by counter-terror units throughout the country for managing surveillance-led counter-terror operations.

CLIO is used widely to manage public order situations. Kent Police used the system at the 2011 Open Golf Championship that attracted over 200,000 spectators to the Royal St Georges Golf Club, Sandwich, East Kent, where it was used to assist the policing operation to manage crowds and public safety issues and co-ordinate road traffic management and security across the site and access roads.

A number of forces, both large and small, including Staffordshire and West Yorkshire, have used CLIO to manage and co-ordinate investigations arising from large scale public order events and demonstrations, while Staffordshire has also used it at the ‘V’ Festival – a large annual music event held at Weston Park. Several forces now use it to manage and co-ordinate major football matches.

THE BUSINESS MAGAZINE FOR SECURITY TECHNOLOGY – www.counterterrorbusiness.com

REVOLUTIONISING VEHICLE SYSTEMS’ INTEGRATION Brimar enables maximum flexibility for modern fighting vehicles without large cost overheads The current financial climate presents defence forces around the world with a common problem - the need for vehicles to be multirole rather than fixed configuration.

The most significant problem with this requirement is generally the large overhead involved, in terms of both time and money, to modify the original installation.

To allow vehicles to become truly multirole there needs to be a simple method of changing the configuration of the vehicle in-field rather than returning it to a third line depot for refit.

There are two areas which need to be managed – firstly the exterior mounting / cable access points and, secondly, integration of the overall system. The issue of exterior mounting / cable access points is generally addressed by the initial design of the vehicle which will allow for a flexible mounting of auxiliary equipment. The issue of systems integration, however, becomes highly contentious, with different vendors vying to become a prime contractor and reducing the choice of available integrated equipment.

PLUG AND PLAY SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE Brimar has recognised this problem and has developed fully agnostic modular plug and play systems architecture for its displays and LSA systems, in addition to a complete range of sensor suites which will complement existing equipment. Its solution offers a common skeleton architecture, allowing multiple displays and auxiliary equipment to be changed ad-hoc and therefore dramatically reducing the cost and time required for new installations.

The system comprises a central power/video/ communication hub or signal distribution unit (SDU) which all equipment plugs directly into, enabling access by any of the vehicle crew. The SDU in its maximum configuration can handle up to 28 different video sources.

Each of the four connected video displays can also independently select a group of four video channels. The SDU can be equipped with different video interfaces or optional modules which can simultaneously process both analogue and digital video formats.

One of the primary functions of the SDU is to act as a flexible power management system which accepts raw vehicle power and then provides clean 28 - 5VDC outputs for all auxiliary equipment. The SDU power system is fully compliant with military

vehicle requirements and eliminates the need for small satellite power supplies for auxiliary equipment. All connectors are military type (Mil- 38999) and are positioned and combined to facilitate system harnessing within the vehicle.

The SDU also acts as a communication translator across RS232/422 & CANBus allowing multiple protocols to interact with each other via pre coded software layers which can be changed in field within seconds. This enables a flexible approach to the variety of sensor packs that can be used with a vehicle. The SDU also has up to eight filtered discrete I/O lines (28V).

The SDU will support up to four displays, with each unit able to receive up to four video signals. It is compatible with Brimar’s complete range of rugged displays, allowing the appropriate display size and resolution for each crew position to be selected.

CUSTOMISED DISPLAYS The displays are provided with a customised and tailored human machine interface (HMI) for each crew position which allows integration to the battlefield management system (BMS), driver’s view enhancement (DVE), navigation aid, remote controlled weapon system (RCWS) and local situational awareness system (LSAS).

Most auxiliary third party equipment requires its own control interface and

screen, often resulting in users having to deal with a plethora of equipment and screens which are not fully integrated.

Use of the Brimar SDU minimises the need for additional equipment, as all Brimar screens are able to process the received video images and configure any screen combination or layout which is required such as full screen images, wide panoramic view with two/three cameras, picture mosaic, windowed images or fused images.

It also offers graphic and text overlays as well as peripheral integration such as joystick, keyboard, mouse & touchscreen.

Brimar’s SDU is manufactured using an aluminium casing which is completely sealed and housed in two separate sections, with the video/coms component on a completely different level to the power distribution function. All electronics can withstand the temperature, humidity, vibration and shock requirements of the military vehicle.

Brimar aims to revolutionise vehicle systems integration, enabling maximum use and flexibility for most modern fighting vehicles without a large cost overhead.

EXPLORING ALL THE SECURITY OPTIONS AT IFSEC

In it’s 39th year, IFSEC International on May 14-17 at the NEC will feature eight dedicated product areas and plenty of educational content, with sessions from experts in counter-terrorism The National Counter Terrorism Security Office initiative, Project ARGUS, is just one of a plethora of not-to-bemissed educational sessions taking place at IFSEC International 2012.

Highly regarded industry experts from Nottinghamshire Police, Wilson James, Morgans Hotel Group and CornerStone will be joining the line up at what is expected to be IFSEC International’s most impressive counter terror offering ever.

Taking place in IFSEC International’s new Security Management Education Theatre, Project ARGUS will explore ways to aid delegates in preventing, handling and recovering from terrorist attacks. The session will guide attendees through a simulated attack to identify the measures to take for preventing, handling and recovering. It will provide visitors with an opportunity to both learn from and contribute to valuable lessons – helping to protect them, their business and their community, whether they are a national chain or a small business.

Project ARGUS explores options, such as what is likely to happen in the event of a terrorist attack and what your priorities should

be, highlighting the importance of having the necessary plans in place to help safeguard staff, customers and company assets.

Plan B Consulting will present ‘Organisational Resilience’ which covers the role of a business continuity manager and focuses on the most vulnerable security risks. Mike O’Neil, managing director of Optimal Risk Management, will present ‘Procuring security services – some thoughts on why and how to change,’ while the directors of CornerStone will present a session entitled ‘How to ensure your security technology investment delivers the result you expect’.

Reflecting the need for today’s society to have effective counter terror measures against the ever-present threats on the UK and international landscape, the Counter Terror Product Area in hall 3A again offers visitors an opportunity to browse thousands of products including counter terror/physical security, access control, CCTV, fire safety, intruder alarms and integrated security/IP networks.

This area will bring together international companies that will assist organisations on national resilience, counter-terrorism, border security, surveillance and policing issues.

CENTRE STAGE IFSEC International has invested heavily in its education programme this year.

2012 will see the debut of Centre Stage, a new high profile educational feature designed to focus on the most pressing and topical security issues of the day, to be discussed and debated live at this year’s show by the leading names in the sector. Topics are wide-ranging and include the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, solutions models for security guarding procurement and management, the future of law enforcement, convergence and the future of security, the alarms standard PD6662: 2010, PSIM, security management training, lone worker protection, CCTV standards, security benchmarking, commercial and criminal investigations and more.

IFSEC International’s event director Charlie Cracknell says Centre Stage is designed to be a focal point for debate on the wider issues affecting the security world. He stated: “Centre Stage will bring thought-provoking discussion on topics of crucial importance to the future of the industry directly to the show floor. This means all visitors will have the opportunity to attend at no cost.

“The session on the future of law enforcement is a particularly enticing prospect, bringing together Don Randall, head of security for the Bank of England, and Nick Pickles, director of Big Brother Watch, the organisation which recently published a study suggesting that local councils had ‘wasted’ £515 million on CCTV over the past five years.”

This session will focus on whether or not there’s a role for the private sector in terms of lower level policing duties and, if so, what that role might look like. This is an issue which will remain at the top of the news agenda, as elected Police and Crime

‘Convergence and The Future of Security’ will examine how convergence, defined as the integration of physical and logical security, could change the dynamic of security management.

Commissioners will be to the fore come November and forces deal with the impact of the Government’s budgetary cuts.

OLYMPIC FOCUS There’ll be a session on preparing for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in terms of essential planning and business continuity, while another session, hosted by the BSIA’s 2012 project director David Evans, is scheduled to address the legacy of the Games from a security perspective.

‘Convergence and The Future of Security’ will examine how convergence – essentially defined as the integration of physical and logical security – could change the

whole dynamic of security management.

This session, chaired by Chris NorthyBaker, principal security advisor and head of business resilience at the UK Hydrographic Office, will also examine the crucial question as to whether or not purchasing end users are really buying into the convergence and integration agenda.

One of the biggest discussions in the security guarding world just now centres on the solutions model: some companies offer security ‘bundled’ with other services such as building maintenance, cleaning and catering. This is the ‘Total FM’ or multi-service solution, while others prefer to concentrate on providing just the core security function. E

IFSEC INTERNATIONAL E ‘Single Service versus Multi Service’ will look at the benefits of both approaches, with contributions from some of the guarding world’s foremost professionals: Bob Forsyth (managing director of MITIE Total Security Management), Geoff Zeidler (UK and Ireland managing director for Securitas), Shaun Cowlam (director of security at the OCS Group) and Peter Webster (CEO of Corps Security) will all be offering their considered opinions.

With the investigations sector currently in the spotlight thanks to the ongoing phone hacking scandal, the Centre Stage Theatre session entitled ‘Commercial and criminal investigations: six of one and half a dozen of the other’ will address renewed calls for the licensing of private sector investigators to ensure uniformity of training, the removal of rogue operators and enhanced levels of professionalism.

An opportunity to find out more about secured environments, the police accreditation scheme for organisations and new approaches to security management training will be provided by Professor Martin Gill of the Perpetuity Group.

Educational content in the The Tavcom Training Theatre will this year includes sessions called ‘How CCTV can be more effective’ and ‘Can modern technology work for my company?’.

LONE WORKERS Supporting the theme of employee protection, IFSEC International will also showcase its first ever Lone Worker Protection Product Area this year. Classified as anyone working alone, without close supervision or away from their fixed base, a staggering 40 per cent of the UK population are now recognised as part-time lone workers.

Many industry names are supporting the feature and experts will be on hand to advise visitors throughout the show.

Patrick Dealtry, Chairman of the BSIA Lone Worker Steering Group and creator of the British Standard for Lone Workers, said: “There is an increased understanding by companies and organisations that it really is important to take care of their employees who may be at risk because of the job their employer asks them to do. Last year, a small company was fined £385,000 for failing to do so. It is therefore highly relevant that IFSEC International includes a Lone Worker product area for the first time.”

Dealtry continued: “Traditionally, IFSEC International has been focused on technical methods (CCTV, access control, alarms etc) of protecting organisations by protecting their buildings. Protecting the building protects the people and ‘things’ in them that make up those organisations activities. This feature of the show will cover how to protect their staff when they are perhaps at their most vulnerable.”

GANGING UP ON CYBER TERRORISM

Infosecurity Europe

THE BUSINESS MAGAZINE FOR SECURITY TECHNOLOGY – www.counterterrorbusiness.com

The thirst for new and innovative solutions to combat IT security threats will be quenched at this years Infosecurity Europe, when more than 12,500 information security professionals and 300 international solution providers come together over three days at London’s Earls Court, April 24th -26th It looks to be a challenging year for the IT security industry. The proposed new European Union (EU) data privacy laws include a common set of privacy standards to be applied to organisations across the entire EU for the first time. With potential fines of two percent of revenue for a data breach, the impact on organisations that fail to comply will be significant.

With Europe still in recession, IT departments are under increasing pressure to deliver more with less. However, it appears that for cyber criminals business is still booming – and the rate at which it is growing is alarming. Costing the UK economy billions every year and with no sign of this cost decreasing, the fear of cyber criminals is one that makes everyone take note.

TECH SAVVY The way people work is changing. There is more collaboration amongst organisations and the general workforce is tech savvy with the consumerisation of IT. Virtualisation and mobile working are increasingly the norm with virtualisation increasing the enterprises’ ability to scale and manage resources, and the introduction of phones that have the processing power of a desktop PC with all their attendant problems. Cloud based applications and internet accessibility mean business is no longer confined to within four walls. However, this is not all good news, as the criminal and terrorist communities are also taking advantage of these new technologies.

The outsider threat has always been a big worry for organisations; more recently the industry has seen a disturbing rise in the number of inside hacks. This poses the question – does crime increase in a recession? Are some of us more likely to become cyber criminals since we think we are ‘anonymous’ and the rewards seem worth the risk? Combine the insider threat with the reality that cyber criminals are increasingly organised and we’ve got a recipe for disaster.

For those IT professionals charged with securing their organisations there is a tough battle ahead, and they need to act fast to tackle the threat. A visit to Infosecurity Europe will give those securing their organisations the opportunity to find out how to defend against the latest threats, the newest technology

The keynotes create an exciting meeting of minds, with a host of business leaders, end-users and international policy makers strutting the boards and providing their experience to help visitors gain invaluable insights into security strategies for 2012.

Enterprise-wide data security monitoring providing a unified tactical overview of entire IT environments Unified IT-monitoring should be the foundation of a proactive information security strategy.

It is increasingly common that information security risk is derived from a lack of overview and control within the IT environment. It is not uncommon for organisations making a system scan or review to find systems it either forgot about or did not know that it had. These systems are thus not properly maintained and updated. It is also common for a large number of devices and applications to have been introduced by users and departments without the IT organisation ever knowing.

The challenges for modern IT organisations to work proactively in the context of information security issues constantly grows. Enterprise networks are already very complex to manage and are due to become even more complex with the increased use of IP-based technology, use of virtualisation technologies, the trend of moving production systems and applications to the cloud (SaaS vendors) as well as the sharp rise in mobile data and the usage of smart phones and tabs within the organisations network.

Ultimately, CIO and IT departments have overall responsibility for ensuring an organisation’s information security. In order to work proactively with information security, monitoring of a whole organisation’s IT delivery process is a good baseline to identify and respond to vulnerabilities, threats and the constant changes made in

the organisation’s operational environment.

Network managers need modern tools that give them a real-time global visibility as well as access to historical information in order to optimise the network infrastructure for application performance and to plan for changes. A complete and correctly-integrated implementation of a modern monitoring system provides the network manager with unified enterprise wide control. This makes it possible to create an understanding of how different parts of the IT integrate with each other and how they affect information security. op5 Monitor is a technology-transparent and vendor-independent next generation IT

monitoring solution that provides network managers with a unified tactical overview of the entire IT environment. Whether it is physical, virtual or in the cloud, the solution is able to see through all layers, including applications, services and traffic, across all platforms. This type of modern monitoring solution lets the IT department work proactively and helps to ensure that the entire IT environment and the information is safe.

Intrinsically safe, single-handed thermal imaging camera from Draeger provides a clear snapshot of the vicinity As part of its ongoing commitment to improving responder safety and operational performance, Draeger Safety has developed its UCF range of thermal imaging cameras.

For the first time, responders no longer have to conduct a risk assessment before taking a thermal imaging camera into a potentially explosive environment because the range includes models which are intrinsically safe and have ATEX Approval applied for.

Enabling entry without delay and ensuring that entry protocols can be followed with single-handed operation, the cameras also provide ‘the complete picture’ by combining traditional ‘firefighting’ and ‘normal’ view modes.

An integrated laser pointer pinpoints the exact location of any thermal areas and ensures that hot spots are identified easily. In addition, when entering a new area such as a doorway, hatch, window, confined space or even turning a corner, the user can select a freeze frame facility to view hidden dangers.

Providing a clear snapshot of the immediate vicinity, this allows the responder to observe the space, decide a plan of action and, if necessary, consult and share the image with colleagues before entering the danger zone.

Should they need more information or advice on a particular situation or risk, users can choose the data transmission option which uses both video and sound to send images back to the command team.

These images can also be recorded for immediate or post event playback for training and evaluation purposes.

Quick identification of a hazard or individual is vital when scanning an area, but it is equally important that nothing is overlooked. The enhanced shutter speed of the UCF cameras provides sharp, clear images of the incident during initial evaluation.

Equally, it is imperative that any thermal changes are identified easily, regardless of the lighting conditions. When moving between rooms and buildings, or even into bright daylight, the integral ambient light

sensor on the Draeger UCF range automatically adjusts the screen so that the image remains clearly visible.

Providing more safety as a result of longer visual support, the auto standby function conserves the four-hour battery life when the camera is not being operated. As with many incidents, confined space entry can be difficult, particularly when crawling and carrying a thermal imaging camera. An integral crawl handle ensures that responders can move more freely and allows the operator to use the UCF camera effectively.

Is your seat belt fastened?

Game-changing threat

In 2010, Stonesoft discovered that there are millions and millions of ways to bypass even the most advanced network security solution without being detected, blocked or traced. This new breed of cyber threat was called Advanced Evasion Techniques or AETs. Today the risk of your network being compromised by AETs is growing faster than your security vendor is willing to admit. Why? Because the security industry was also taken by surprise: AETs are a real threat that can do serious damage to your business.

No stone unturned Stonesoft IPS is the most effective protection available against AETs. Combining full stack inspection and data normalization on all protocol layers, Stonesoft IPS leaves no stone unturned. It focuses on the actual content being transmitted in data streams and detects evasion techniques even when they are applied on multiple protocol levels.

Stonesoft IPS can be adapted to any network environment – physical, virtual or hybrid – and is backed by the industry’s best AETs testing tools and environment

SECURITY PARADIGM SHIFTS TOWARDS A NEW REALITY

It was thought that an organisation’s digital assets were protected by the security in front of them but a new threat - Advanced Evasion Techniques (AETs) - has revealed something entirely different.

In 1959 Volvo invented the three point safety belt. The Swedish car maker thought its creation was so important they decided to make it available to everyone. However, other car manufacturers dismissed Volvo’s invention, downplayed its importance or simply ignored it all together. They claimed their cars were the final word in automotive safety. This resulted in car owners being confused over who they could trust.

Today, a similar story is being played out in the network security industry.

It is estimated that more than USD3bn is spent annually on network security devices.

Customers expect to get the best protection money can buy, but the latest security trends tell another story. Because security devices protect mission critical computer networks, sensitive data assets and critical systems such as CRM and ERP and SCADA networks, cyber criminals target these same devices.

DIGITAL ASSETS Until recently it was thought that an organisation’s digital assets were comprehensively protected by the security solutions put up in front of them but the discovery of a new threat vector called Advanced Evasion Techniques (AETs) has revealed something entirely different. Hackers have found a loophole in today’s network security solutions and can now infiltrate systems and launch successful attacks without ever being detected or leaving any evidence that a system has been compromised.

Advanced evasion techniques essentially work like a ‘master key’ and allow criminals to use exploits that would otherwise be detected and blocked. In reality, there are countless evasion techniques that make malicious content more difficult to detect in network traffic.

Although evasions have been documented extensively in the last 15 years, security vendors have systematically ignored the significance of the threat. Some vendors have even downplayed the threat posed by evasions as being purely theoretical. Yet this debate misses the bigger issue: the risk of network security systems being compromised

by AETs continues to grow as more and more cybercriminals actively exploit the vulnerability.

The recent string of successful yet

unexplained attacks against high profile organisations suggests that evasion techniques are being used effectively. This claim is supported by forensic cybercrime investigation. Stonesoft – for its own part – discovered the immense power of evasions in 2010, when leading security products were tested against advanced evasion techniques

by Stonesoft’s research laboratory. The incredible result was that all the tested devices failed to detect exploits that applied evasion techniques. This raises the following questions: Is there a network security solution that protects against advanced evasion techniques? How would this solution

IPS devices are throughput-oriented and cannot perform full normalisation. Proper security devices should normalise data traffic 100 per cent on every protocol layer before executing payload inspection. The majority of existing security devices are architected to optimise the inline throughput performance in a clean (simulated) network that is never the target of a complex, hardto-detect attack. As a result, security devices use shortcuts and execute only partial normalisation and inspection. Evasions can exploit these shortcuts and weaknesses in normalisation and inspection processes.

This is a fundamental design issue that is

Combining streambased inspection with data normalisation on multiple protocol layers, the Stonesoft IPS is highly resistant to advanced evasion techniques and offers a novel approach to IPS design and implementation. differ – in both approach and design – from existing security devices?

The Stonesoft IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) answers this challenge. Combining streambased inspection with data normalisation on multiple protocol layers, the Stonesoft IPS is highly resistant to advanced evasion techniques and offers a novel approach to IPS design and implementation.

Other Stonesoft products such as Stonesoft Security Platform incorporates design elements from the Stonesoft IPS and also provides effective protection against AETs. WEAK POINTS For end-user organisations, there are two critical questions. Why have many security vendors been unable to offer effective protection against evasions?

And why is the problem impossible to fix in the same way as exploits?

The answer lies in traffic handling, inspection and detection. Each of these capabilities is instrumental in building proper evasion protection in an IPS or nextgeneration firewall (NGFW) product. Many

extremely difficult to change. Especially in the case of hardware based products, the redesign of security devices would require a significant R&D outlay. Data stream-based inspection requires more memory and CPU capacity to continue to perform effectively in throughput. For many vendors, this is a ‘mission impossible’. Evasions exploit this liability by spreading attacks over segments or pseudo packet boundaries.

Many of the leading IPS devices are vulnerable to evasion disguised attacks.

When running 124 randomly selected advanced evasion techniques through any of the market-leading security devices, the results were indisputable: the devices were unable to detect advanced evasion techniques. The results of this study were reported through the CERT-FI vulnerability coordination process flow and all vendors were made aware of the results.

OLD COMPUTERS NEVER DIE, THEY JUST RETAIN THEIR DATA When cyber security is only half the story, having a respect for data will reap rewards Our privacy is under attack through all new streams of social networking and internet usage, even the simple ‘social media’ applications gather personal information about our hobbies, interests and habits. This information in the wrong hands will answer most of your email providers ‘security questions’.

INFORMATION HARVESTING If you press a few simple buttons on your computer or ‘smart phone’ you can view your emails and if you have forgotten your password? ‘Where were you born’, ‘Name of your first pet’ are the typical questions asked and if you crack those, then hey presto! you have access to your email, or in other

equipment failing to securely erase the hard drives? All of your company’s internal security policies are now null and void and we are living in the realms of the unknown.

Cyber-crime is one of the decade’s largest growth industries. Innocent people are losing their information every day – their social media programmes hacked and personal information lost.

If we are clear about the implications of Security online, what happens to your data which is held on your personal computer, or laptop? As a routine, most of us password protect the machines (in case the little ones delete your work) but then one day, the screen breaks, your trusty computer fails to start and you decide it’s time to replace it!

Giving your information respect by using even a simple password encryption technique and ensuring you securely erase your data drastically reduces the amount of cyber crime and makes it harder for hackers. words an ‘information harvesting’ application will give a potential criminal access to your emails, giving your personal information or company’s details away to the undesirable.

We are aware of most of the above problems but we feel safe in the knowledge that our ‘3rd party’ email provider is like a father figure and will look after you and respect your data. As a matter of basic policy you should research the security abilities of your email provider, encrypt your passwords and, when it comes to answering security questions, maybe look at some alternative basic methods.

Try replacing a letter with a number instead (such as its corresponding number within the alphabet). Or use a symbol somewhere within your word. You can also use capitalisation.

Back to ‘social media’. It may not be the intention of the application developer to use the information illegally, but do you know about their security practices and protocols?

How do they look after your information?

What happens if they ‘recycle’ their server

134

COUNTER TERROR BUSINESS MAGAZINE | Volume 9

With your old machine now at the end of its life, what do we do now? We can safely assume that around a million computers are recycled in the UK each year through civic amenity centres, charities or computer recycling organisations. So what happens to your data next?

PEACE OF MIND Some computers are properly erased using a certified data erasure software such as Tabernus Enterprise Erase v5.3 (CESG approved data-erasure software). The data cannot be recovered using any known recovery techniques nor technology and the software has been independently tested, verified and accredited. You also have qualified certificates of erasure, plus if you are using a Tabernus solutions partner they offer a full service and peace of mind.

Tabernus also have a number of full synergy partners who are accredited by independent organisations such as ADISA

(Asset Disposal and Information Security Alliance), their internal processes are checked and verified. They are the leaders in secure data-erasure services, using Certified Tabernus CESG software.

Other computers are either not erased or sold for parts ‘as-is’. Where these items and the related computer hard drives end up is very hard to tell, although the items seldom end up in the country of origin. Even Ebay for many has been a great source for finding data such as patient records, missile launch codes and the trusty corporate database, this makes the news because it hits us on an emotional level, we feel there is a lack of respect, lack of answers and that inevitable question: why?

HIDDEN CRIMES In the wrong hands such information has a high value and has made the news many times recently. But the stories which do not make the news include the general public’s and commercial organisations’ lack of an effective information security policy and subsequent loss of their own personal, business or customer information.

In conclusion, everyday people’s lives and general business are truly affected by these ‘hidden’ crimes. We are all at risk but this is so easily preventable. Giving your information respect by using even a simple password encryption technique and ensuring you securely erase your data drastically reduces the amount of cyber crime and makes it harder for hackers.

Appointing a recognised computer recycling organisation using Tabernus CESG Erasure software to dispose of or remarket your equipment gives a verifiable audit trail and peace of mind. Take your ‘social media’ activities with a pinch of salt and treat your own personal and company information with the respect it deserves.

MAKING CLOUD SECURITY YOUR PRIORITY Security breaches and hacks will always exist, so plan ahead, says Firehost Secure cloud hosting provider Firehost is keenly aware of the ever-present damagethreat that a breach in security can cause to an infrastructure. It believes that the cloud is here to stay and, as technologies have grown, become cheaper and made public access more affordable, the opportunity for exposure to more risk has also increased. Security should be the focus first in this arena, and then from there your other choices should be looked at, says Firehost, including performance, managed services, scale and control.

The first thing you should be asking is what layers of protection are in place within the infrastructure and, furthermore, what else is offered, according to Firehost. If you understand how the public cloud works, do you want that key protection to be an optional item? If you were purchasing a car, you would assume it had brakes, but would you like to have the option on the emergency brake or air bags? Probably not. You would want all the protection that you have come to accept as standard. The same sort of preference should be exercised with your cloud experience.

LAYERS OF PROTECTION Ask what security, beyond a firewall, is in place? Do providers have any mitigation appliances or web application firewalls? If you have secure data or if you have already experienced an attack, then you should delve into this area with your provider and get case studies or specific questions answered to deep information in the area of DDoS mitigation techniques to see if they have previously dealt with advance threats in this area.

Hacks happen everyday, 24/7. You should make sure you have minimised all opportunity for it to happen to your data. If an attack happens, how will the company respond?

Is it staffed 24/7 to monitor and report?

Are there policies in place with action items to address the issues? This is key. It means that the company has defined procedures and everyone knows how to respond with a proportional sense of urgency.

Network partitioning / VM policies, geolocation, high-level access, granular rate threshold and heuristic policies should all be addressed. The other key item within this security area is your involvement and the follow-up. Would a supplier notify you and work on next step preventative measures? Any company in charge of your information should declare the incident, immediately address the issue

and investigate how and why it happened.

Analysis and documentation, containment and prevention should be detailed and become a focus for future improvement.

SUPPORT Our infrastructure is built from the security aspect first, then performance, followed by scale and flexibility. Finally, by staffing 24/7/365 we address the need to always be connected to your cloud.

You can call, chat or create a ticket and know that there will always be someone to answer your questions or assist you on your network.

Our global network offers servers in Europe or the US and from our portal you can manage your servers and view your performance metrics in real time. You can scale three ways: manually, automatically or on a schedule that you choose. We report on blocked hacks

and you can see these in your portal, and we offer two-factor authentication for secure communication to discuss your environment.

FireHost is a secure cloud hosting company focused on protecting sensitive data and companies’ brand reputation with an architecture built for security, scalability and performance. Clients, including some of the largest companies in the world, as well as many fast-growing ecommerce, SaaS and healthcare IT providers with specific compliance or performance needs, subscribe to FireHost’s PCI, HIPAA or high traffic solutions.

Border Control

PASSENGER INFORMATION

INTELLIGENCE-LED BORDER MANAGEMENT Andrew Priestley, business development director at ARINC, looks at how intelligent-led border management is fundamental to fighting terrorism Every time there is an aviation-related terrorist incident – whether successful or not – it is airlines and airports that take the flak. Then come demands for tougher security measures, swiftly followed by passengers complaining of increasingly intrusive procedures.

Yet with equipment ranging from e-passports to full body scanners, we already have highly sophisticated methods of identifying and apprehending criminals. To be really effective though, this cutting edge technology needs to be backed up by a system of international standardisation and collaboration that enables information to be shared – speedily, reliably and securely. In other words, intelligence-led border management that collects and processes information to all relevant national and international agencies, harmonising standards of identifying, verifying and authenticating passengers.

COMMON-LANGUAGE DATA SERVICE Technical problems created by the varying data sources and formats used by different agencies is cited as the main problem to such standardisation.

This is easily overcome by using ARINC’s

provide a cost-effective solution.

The combined use of iAPIS and PNR allows security resources to be employed more effectively to target undesirables for screening whilst enabling faster processing of low-risk passengers. BCAs, law enforcement organisations and intelligence services get a valuable headstart on checking names against watch lists, highlighting suspect travel patterns, assessing potential risks and locating suspects.

SECURE DATA PROTECTION Data protection is a concern for many passengers, particularly where Advance Passenger Information (API) messages are transmitted by e-mail and over the internet.

This is not an issue with a fully-managed IP network like ARINC’s AviNet, which provides a level of reliability and end-to-end security that is absent from a public internet connection.

Airlines, too, have concerns regarding data collation. Those using legacy systems find government demands to extract data, particularly in the absence of standards harmonisation, can entail budget-breaking costs. With a long and successful track record

The combined use of iAPIS and PNR allows security resources to be employed more effectively to target undesirables for screening whilst enabling faster processing of low-risk passengers.

Electronic Borders – a common-language immigration data service combining items such as interactive Advance Passenger Information System (iAPIS) with Passenger Name Records (PNR). Translating messages from disparate agencies and systems, it provides a unique screening solution that enables airlines to meet their legal obligations whilst maintaining passenger privacy.

ARINC’s private, highly secure AviNet global communications network, with its 99.999 per cent availability, provides seamless, efficient and reliable communications between airlines and border control agencies (BCAs).

More and more governments require airlines to use iAPIS and impose hefty fines for those that fail to do so. Electronic borders, requiring little or no new system development, or even the modification of existing systems,

136

COUNTER TERROR BUSINESS MAGAZINE | Volume 9

in systems integration, ARINC recognises the need for software flexibility to accommodate varying border regime requirements.

BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGY Complementing API and PNR is biometric technology, which helps prevent a range of criminal activities made possible with forged documents and stolen identities.

ARINC’s fully-integrated Identity Management System (IdMS) is designed to be applicable in many critical settings and can collect, verify, and maintain biometric and biographical information – ensuring that biometric systems integrate with existing airline and airport processes – as well as supporting all phases of the identity management lifecycle.

Over 80 per cent of passengers now use

mobile devices, the internet and self-service kiosks to check in away from traditional, dedicated airport workstations. The downside is that passengers taking only hand luggage need have no interaction with the airline until they reach the gate.

Since the ability to track the progress of each passenger in the airport is crucial, this self-service travel has boosted demand for Passenger Reconciliation Systems (PRS) such as ARINC’s VeriPax, which is designed to maximise security checkpoint operations while optimising passenger flow.

VeriPax not only complements ARINC’s IdMS but also has links to watch lists, assisting government agencies responsible for border control. VeriPax validates the authenticity of barcodes on boarding passes using 2D scanners, automatically screens passengers against airline host systems in real time and determines clearance, providing audio and visual status alerts to agents when necessary.

INFORMATION SHARING IS CRITICAL Information-sharing is a crucial element in the fight against terrorism and ARINC’s Multi-User System Environment (MUSE) family of passenger and flight information systems allows airlines to share vital passenger and baggage information in real time on high-speed multi-user networks.

Whether from off-site locations, CUSS kiosks or traditional check-in desks, airlines can access the information they need whenever they need it. Since each transaction – from ticketing and baggage handling to car rental and hotel reservations – can be processed over the common network, communications barriers are completely eliminated and security is enhanced We have the tools – what’s missing is international harmonisation of standards and reliable intelligence-sharing with every effort made to eliminate opportunities for human error.

Border control agencies must use all the available information at their disposal, including that which is in the public domain on personal websites, blogs and on social networking sites. Analysing and correctly interpreting this information is fundamental to intelligence-led border management. L FOR MORE INFORMATION emea@arinc.com www.arinc.com

CYBER-SPACE: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? As a constantly evolving force without well-defined legal boundaries and controls, cyberspace could be considered as the final frontier with regard to internet security. Chris Hardy, regional director, UK public sector, McAfee, discusses what governments and industry can do next following a recent report on the state of international cyber-security The internet is a truly global resource which is part of what makes it so accessible and useful. The web joins us all together as one global community, making the world smaller and allowing nations to connect in new and constructive ways. However these unique characteristics also present challenges, most obviously around security. Traditional, national notions of legal governance are ill-equipped to deal with the challenges posed by the internet’s amorphous and international nature.

In short, tackling cyber-security is a global challenge which requires close collaboration between organisations and governments.

This might sound like a fairly simple measure, but the reality is far from straightforward.

For a start, there are discrepancies between the levels of cyber-security that countries are perceived to have in place. According to a recent report commissioned by McAfee, from Brussels-based think tank Security & Defence Agenda, the UK is seen as lagging behind countries including Israel, Sweden and Finland in its preparation despite dedicating a huge amount to cyber-security from its four-year budget. These differences can make it hard for government officials to trust one another as there are concerns around exposing public infrastructure and informational assets to potential threats. However, with just under half of respondents recognising cyber-security to be as important as border security, it is crucial to build up international relationships between governments.

While politicians work on addressing their differences and building common goals, there are some initial steps that can be taken to start developing a joint response

to cyber-crime. If these can be met, the international community should be able to achieve the delicate balance of working as one, while maintaining their own public services on which citizens depend every day.

REAL-TIME GLOBAL INFORMATION SHARING The use of cross-border services has significantly increased as a result of new technologies like cloud computing, and consequently the online world has become increasingly integrated. From a public services perspective, and specifically considering the UK’s ‘digital by default’ strategy, that means it is now more important than ever for the government to have faith in these systems. Wherever they are located, systems must be safe as well as functional as it is likely that the information they hold is sensitive and confidential.

Moreover, it’s not just civil servants who need to have faith in information security. The success of upcoming government initiatives such as Universal Credit rely heavily on public trust in online services, and the belief that any data entered online is properly protected. E

CYBER SECURITY E The information flow within governments, between governments and between governments and private sector partners mean that there are a number of touch points where data is at risk. With no single international body holding a cyber-security mandate; national and regional organisations need to improve their cooperation and information sharing. This is difficult due to the lack of trust between one government and another but is key to guaranteeing internet security.

the other hand is supremely agile, has substantial funding streams and no barriers to information sharing. The contrast with national governments could barely be more stark, and yet these are the terms of combat.

There are a number of treaties and agreements already in place to guard against cyber-crime, the most promising of which is the Interpol framework, used to deal with cybercrime in countries which do not have a current legal ruling.

INCENTIVISE SECURITY With no chain stronger than its weakest link and information often following freely across borders, countries with an absence of cyber-focused legislation can provide a haven for criminals.

At a macro level, the best way to help with this is to improve the economic situation as internet crime is closely linked to unemployment rates. At a micro level however, financial incentives can go a long way to improving practices within individual government offices. In the UK specifically, the pressure on project leaders to meet deadlines on time and in budget is a real focus and providing budget for doing things right, can be the way to ensuring no corners are cut.

Another incentive is the threat of penalties when an organisation falls short of expected standards. Debate is ongoing as to whether sanctions are appropriate for parties on the receiving end of successful cyber attacks.

And who should bear the brunt of such penalties? A vulnerability in a particular piece of code would seem to be the software producer’s responsibility, were it not for the fact that producers absolve themselves of liability with contractual small print. The chain of responsibility is complex, and as a result it is unrealistic to pinpoint just one party as having ultimate liability.

DEVELOP INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS Establishing best practices is a first step in ensuring that cyber-security is practical, low-cost and can be quickly implemented. It involves a holistic approach that accounts for legal, regulatory and technical considerations as well as providing an ethical code of conduct. An Integrated Supply Network to

GIVE POWER TO GLOBAL LAW ENFORCEMENT With network and content now separated by international borders, the laws governing copyright and territorial security are no longer straightforward. Google, for instance, hosts one third of its cloud services in Canada.

With this in mind, international collaboration on law enforcement is crucial with cyber-space now seen by many as the fifth dimension of warfare.

Rulings need to be accepted across all countries in order to find a compromise between security and freedom, and the UK in particular has dedicated significant resource to this within its four-year budget.

The Cyber Defence Report acknowledges that cyber-crime is growing, and sets out three reasons for this trend: it’s profitable, low-risk and anonymous. There are no national boundaries in cyberspace, which presents difficulties around enforcing traditional legal powers.

The cyber-criminal community on

NGO, Impact. These types of organisations can give governments the confidence to share sensitive information, therefore alleviating concerns that any insight could be used to attack public services.

Certain industries have recognised that they are at heightened risk from cyber-attacks, and this realisation has acted as a catalyst for cooperation. The Night Dragon attacks launched in late 2009 targeted proprietary operations and project-financing information on oil and gas field bids and operations.

This information is highly sensitive, with multibillion dollar deals at stake in what is an extremely competitive industry. The oil and gas industries reacted by creating a global communication chain which became an industry group mirroring that set up by the US financial services industry – the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis

The Night Dragon attacks launched in late 2009 targeted proprietary operations and project-financing on oil and gas field bids and operations. This information is highly sensitive. complement this should also ensure that similar procurement practices are followed around the world. Some standards are already in development however none have global support at this point. Those from ENISA, for example, only account for the 27 European member states.

But regulation alone is not a complete solution. Laws take a long time to draft, agree and implement, and fixed legislation can quickly become ineffective against cyberthreats which are in a constant state of flux.

Most commentators agree that involving the private sector at an early stage in discussions around new legislation will help to counteract this problem. Guidance from businesses can help to prevent legislation being drafted with a short shelf-life, by informing legislators who may otherwise be too distant from industry to fully understand its challenges and concerns around cyber-security.

ADDRESS DIPLOMATIC CHALLENGES Secrecy concerns hamper the growth of trust between countries and can limit the success of conferences like the London Conference on Cyber-space. Fostering trust is the only way to develop agreements and standards internationally, otherwise the “good guys” are playing chess without half the pieces. One of the main reasons why cyber-criminals can prosper is their ability to share information quickly and without any regulation. This makes choreographing wellorchestrated attacks much more achievable.

One way to address distrust between governments is through the use of independent bodies like the Malaysia-based

Centre (FS-ISAC). These are both positive examples of competitors in an industry realising the need to share information in order to combat a bigger threat.

The internet was initially built on the basis of trust, but now with billions of pounds at stake and new global threats to infrastructure, that notion seems entirely outdated. Conversely the response to global cyber-crime now depends on such trust between national governments, and also private sector firms – which inevitably means working side-by-side with competitors.

EDUCATION Cyber-security also depends on the behaviour of government workers and public alike as hackers exploit social vulnerabilities.

As a result, education is crucial as technology users need to understand how to behave responsibly. If nothing else, recent advancements in technology have permanently changed younger people’s conception of privacy; something that many policy makers are yet to fully comprehend.

Education should begin in schools, within school curricula, and be continued by companies teaching their employees. We are after all, in a new digital era and with government services increasingly moving online, it is more critical than ever that the right processes are put in place to ensure public sector security long term.

DATA LOSS: ARE YOU SECURE? High penalties for data loss mean that it’s just not enough to ensure your sensitive data is encrypted – you need to prove it, says Andy Cordial, managing director of Origin Storage Limited Last month, penalties issued by the Information Commissioners’ Office (ICO) to local authorities for data loss officially hit £1 million. In every instance, the fine was related to data in transit.

However, despite an increasing number of reported – and in some cases extremely high profile – incidents, the loss or theft of sensitive data from devices such as laptops and tablets continue to dominate the headlines.

Despite overwhelming internet adoption, organisations often need to transfer or carry large amounts of sensitive data on physical devices, whether it’s laptops, tablets, USB sticks or other removable media or drives.

loss or theft of such sensitive data could lead to financial or emotional damage to individuals or businesses. In the case of the NHS Trust, the loss of confidential patients’ records from the hard drives could lead to reputational damage, or even blackmail.

ENCRYPTION In both cases, had the data been securely encrypted, there may not have even been a need to report the incidents. Indeed, with the NHS case the trust had placed its trust in a third party to destroy the sensitive information but had no means of confirming if this had taken place.

Despite overwhelming internet adoption, organisations often need to transfer or carry large amounts of sensitive data on physical devices. Last year, the FSA fined Zurich Insurance a whopping £2.3 million for the loss of sensitive information for 46,000 of its customers. In the past, other banks including HSBC and Nationwide have been fined for similar offences.

In most cases, the need to carry sensitive data is born from convenience, especially if secure internet access to a fixed source is not available, or if a dataset is large.

RISKS But accidents do happen. Last year, the FSA fined Zurich Insurance a whopping £2.3 million for the loss of sensitive information for 46,000 of its customers. In the past, other banks including HSBC and Nationwide have been fined for similar offences.

Also, last September more than 200 hard drives containing confidential information regarding thousands of patients were stolen from Brighton General Hospital. The NHS Trust had subcontracted the destruction of the drives to a registered contractor but instead they had appeared for sale on eBay. Following action by the police, the drives were all recovered but the ICO now intends to fine the Trust around £375,000 for the incident.

The reason for these huge fines is that the

Subsequently, organisations are looking to create better frameworks for both handling and protecting data at rest and in transit. Having systems that require staff to change working practices and add processes to ensure better security should be a no-brainer. However, optional encryption schemes are inherently flawed if they can be circumvented by users.

As such, both public and private firms are now embedding security at the device layer. This normally focuses around the hard drives of desktop or laptop computers that automatically encrypt and decrypt data on the fly in a transparent method.

Specialist encryption solutions like the Data Locker 3 PIN-protected portable hard drive, and the Enigma SED FIPS 140-2 (self encrypting drive), both provide an increased level of security for laptops and PCs. The advantage of full disk encryption is two-fold. The first is

that the user cannot turn it off and every read, write or copy on the disk is encrypted.

This ‘always-on’ approach leads to a second major advantage: accountability. By having unbreakable encryption at the physical disk layer, there is a certainty that this lost information is effectively non-actionable, and thus not able to cause damage.

So while it’s essential that an organisation takes every step available to them to protect their data, it’s just as important that the firm can prove it to the authorities should the worst happen.

Conventional security software alone can fail to effectively authenticate users and machines on the network or secure data on lost or stolen laptops – or importantly ensure compliance with laws that require disclosure of lost personal data.

Fortunately, SEDs, trusted platform modules (TPMs) and BitLocker client PCs can help safeguard an organisation’s critical information. However, these technologies provide only half the answer.

DEMONSTRATING COMPLIANCE Directory-based security management software like Wave’s EMBASSY remote administration server (ERAS) can help by remotely monitoring and logging all activity on the device, and offering advanced reporting capabilities. This ability to demonstrate compliance is as crucial as securing the data itself.

The reality is that even with the most diligent staff working in secure environments, laptops or removable drives go missing. By not having encryption at the most basic layer, organisations are just waiting for the inevitable compliance failure and subsequent painful fine.

RAF laser-guided bomb contract secures UK jobs A £60m deal announced for extra RAF precision munitions will help sustain hundreds of UK jobs. The contract is for Paveway IV, which is among the most advanced precision bombs in the world and considered the backbone of the RAF’s bombing capability.

The contract has been awarded to Raytheon UK and will sustain some 450 jobs in advanced weapons manufacturing at its plants in Glenrothes, Scotland and Harlow, Essex. A number of jobs will also be kept at subcontractors Portsmouth Aviation and Thales plant based in Basingstoke.

Paveway IV proved highly effective during the 2011 air campaign over Libya and is also currently used in Afghanistan on Tornado jets. It is fitted with Global Positioning System (GPS) technology and laser guidance systems which mean that the precision delivery of

the capability is unaffected by clouds or smoke screens, giving the UK the capability to conduct 24-hour attacks against a wide range of targets. The weapon has a UK-developed fail-safe fuse mechanism which means that the bomb will only detonate once it has reached its intended target.

The Minister for Defence Equipment, Support and Technology, Peter Luff, said: “The Paveway IV bomb has been proven in combat in Afghanistan, where it continues to equip RAF Tornados, and in operations in support of the UN over Libya.

“Paveway munitions have long been a success story for the Royal Air Force in terms of their precision bombing capability.The ability to operate in any weather means that we are able to support operations 24/7; Paveway IV weapons are a real asset to not only the Royal Air Force, but to Defence as a whole.”

India’s nuclear subs nearly ready India will operate two nuclear powered submarines soon as it inducts the Russian Nerpa and launches the indigenous INS Arihant, Defense Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) Chief V K Saraswat has announced.

“INS Arihant is in advanced stages. It will be ready for operations within the next few months,” he was quoted by The Economic Times as saying. India is also testing the Sagarika K-15 missile that will be carried by INS Arihant, V K Saraswat said. Launches have been carried out in the Bay of Bengal.

Industry chief warns of delayed reaction to cuts The impact of cuts to science spending at the Ministry of Defence will eventually be felt as skills and experience are lost, a defence industry chief has warned. Rees Ward, a retired rear admiral who now heads up defence industry body ADS, reportedly told an MoD science showcase event that there was a “great risk” resulting from the reduction in military science spending from £800m to £400m over the past decade.

According to the BBC he said: “The effects of such a reduction are not going to be felt in the next two or three years.”

Army & Navy remove German V2 rocket remnants in Essex Royal Navy and Army bomb disposal experts have successfully removed the remnants of a German V2 rocket lodged in an Essex river bed since the Second World War. A four-footlong section was pulled from mudflats at low tide on the River Stour between Harwich and Felixstowe. The six-man Navy team from Southern Diving Unit 2 (SDU 2) in Portsmouth worked with the British Army’s 101 Engineer Regiment bomb disposal team.

BAE wins £446m Typhoon jet support deal BAE Systems has announced a contract worth £446m to support the fleet of Typhoon jets. The fiveyear support deal will provide a range of engineering services and contribute to the 30 per cent savings target. The order will help to sustain around 600 jobs at BAE Systems’ Warton and Samlesbury sites in Lancashire focused on engineering, supply chain and project management.

The in-service support agreement, known as Contract 1, will introduce efficiencies by

bringing together a number of legacy contracts and proposed new work into an umbrella contract. It demonstrates a commitment to the continued development of Typhoon. This work will provide the test and evaluation infrastructure for the future air-to-air and airto-ground Typhoon capability enhancements announced in the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR).

HMS Dauntless, the second of the Navy’s hi-tech Type 45 air defence destroyers, left Portsmouth Naval Base on April 4.

The Royal Navy said it was the first operational deployment for HMS Dauntless since it was commissioned in 2010.

However, at a ceremony to mark the 30th anniversary in Argentina, President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner said: “Every day that goes by it looks more ridiculous, more absurd to the eyes of the world.”

Detecting and preventing under-vehicle bombs This form of attack presents the terrorist with one of the most efficient means of assassination in terms of the risk of detection during the assault and the amount of explosive material used. The victim can be selected precisely, to cause the maximum alarm and dismay amongst the community to which he or she belongs. A death rate of one person per week was caused by this method of attack during one period of the 30 year IRA campaign in the UK. The targets, security personnel, prominent politicians and citizens, were chosen with precision to gain maximum effect.

Since the 1980s Intelligent Security has been involved in signal processing for a range of security products from perimeter intrusion detection systems, which at one time were installed at 21 of the UK’s high category prisons, through to today’s Talos Under Car Bomb Detection System and the Heartbeat Detection system.

The Talos Undercar detection system development came about in 1988 as the result of the IRA’s attack on a minibus carrying soldiers who had just taken part in the Lisburn Half marathon for charity – six were killed.

In late 1989 the Talos system designed to detect the placement of magnetically attached IEDs had under gone trials by the UK’S Defence and Research

Agency and was being installed by the Home Office for at risk personnel.

Today with over 11,800 units in service Intelligent Security continues to monitor and develop the Talos system in order to meet new threats.

Magnetically attached IEDs are still the most widely used undercar devices as they are selective both in their target identification and placement of the device on a vehicle.

However other means are now used occasionally; the bomb may be wedged between the plastic under car tray that is now present on many upmarket cars or perhaps with elastic cord or by some other means. This plastic under car tray in itself renders the magnetically attached

bomb obsolete for those vehicles.

The Talos Plus system has solved this problem. The method relies on the changes that occur in the vibrational resonance of the vehicle when the device has been attached. The resonance pattern of the vehicle is recorded by piezo-electric sensors placed at four or more positions on the car. This vibration pattern is processed by a microprocessor and if an anomalous pattern is detected an alarm is indicated.

INSTITUTE OF EXPLOSIVES ENGINEERS

THE EXPLOSIVES SECTOR: SETTING THE STANDARDS

Explosives Training

THE BUSINESS MAGAZINE FOR SECURITY TECHNOLOGY – www.counterterrorbusiness.com

Major Ken Cross MBE, president of the Institute of Explosives Engineers, talks about the qualifications needed to get involved in munition clearance and be paid to blow stuff up for a living in the wide-ranging explosives sector The explosives industry is very attractive to many servicemen and women coming to the end of a career where the use and management of Ordnance, Munitions and Explosives (OME) may have been an everyday occurrence. You may have been an Infantryman in Afghanistan, firing hundreds of rounds of small arms ammunition during an operational tour, you may have been a specialist searcher in the Royal Engineers, you may have been a RAF Armourer or a munitions storekeeper. Clearance Diver, Ammunition Technician, Military Police CSI: all of these are potential routes to a career in the explosives sector if you have the drive to make it so.

Some of the fields of expertise in the explosives sector are: quarrying, mining, construction, demolition, security, the oil and mineral exploration industry, film and TV special effects (SFX), explosives licensing, munitions design and manufacture; explosives search and detection; EOD operations and training; logistics; explosives forensics.

HARD FACTS There are some harsh realities to be taken into account when considering a career in the explosives sector. The UK’s explosives industry has generally been in decline for a number of years as the number of mines, quarries, explosives manufacturers and research establishments have reduced. The global recession has hit the explosives sector as hard as any other and those companies that have survived have done so by taking hard decisions and consolidating their positions. All of this can only mean that recruitment has been very limited in most specialist areas. That said, another factor that has been well recognised by explosives companies and government departments is that the workforce that has ‘always been there’ is declining due to normal retirement, leaving space for welltrained and motivated individuals to take up.

INSTITUTE OF EXPLOSIVES ENGINEERS E EMSO) was established in 2000 in order to develop National Occupational Standards and National/Scottish Vocational Qualifications (N/SVQs) for those involved in munition clearance (ie bomb disposal – both EOD and IEDD) and search activities. The standards would provide specific, objective, measurable and nationally agreed statements of competence that could be used in any part of the explosives industry – military, civilian or private sector. These standards were launched in October 2003. In the autumn of 2003, the Defence Ordnance Safety Group (DOSG) of the Ministry of Defence (MoD) approached the SSB and asked for help in defining the competences known at the time in the MoD as Ordnance, Munitions and Explosives (OME) but which later became known as Explosive Substances and Articles (ESA). Since the MoD ideally wished its personnel to gain national accreditation for achievement of the resulting standards, the project was therefore widened to include all organisations that employed people who needed expertise in dealing with explosives (both military and civilian).

The SSB was made up of experts from the Ministry of Defence (MoD), Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force, QinetiQ plc, the Atomic Weapons Establishment plc and the Defence Science and Technology Laboratories, along with representatives from commercial companies working with explosives in conjunction with a qualifications specialist.

The NOS were to be the basis for a raft of S/ NVQs covering the whole explosives sector.

24 NVQs were developed, each covering one of the functional areas identified during mapping of the explosive substances and articles industry. Each NVQ is based on National Occupational Standards (NOS) and relates to the roles identified by the early research – from operator to operational manager level.

The difficulty in developing these NVQs beyond the initial stage was the lack of take up by existing Awarding Bodies who perceived that the aforementioned decline in explosives workers population would automatically mean that there was little profit to be made from this sector. So, Homeland Security Qualifications (HSQ) was established to meet the needs of this niche market. The asterisked qualifications are immediately available from HSQ and more qualifications (in Defence Range Safety and in the vehicular movement of explosives) are currently under development.

Some, but by no means all, of these NVQs have been migrated to the new Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) that is being phased in to replace the existing national qualifications system. Homeland Security Qualifications has begun the process of translating the majority of the ESA NVQs listed above into the QCF format and has also developed bespoke vocational qualifications for its client organizations that wish to accredit the training or competence of some its specialist personnel.

INSTITUTE OF EXPLOSIVES ENGINEERS E Some of the explosives specialist occupational areas have very specific requirements and their own industry training and qualification standards. SFX is a growth area which requires specialist training through the BECTU, BPA or ASP schemes. If you wish to become a shotfirer in the mineral extraction industry you will need to qualify through one of the appropriate training providers - the Mineral Products Qualifications Council (MPQC) is the awarding body for vocational qualifications in Blasting Operations at level 3 - for operators, shotfirers, explosives supervisors, store keepers working within a blasting environment.

TRANSFERABLE SKILLS Very few of the military qualifications in OME gained by servicemen and women were obviously transferable until quite recently. The past few years has seen a lot of effort in the Defence training organisations to map military qualifications to National Occupational Standards and S/NVQs. As the QCF becomes fully operational, these VQs will be re-developed into QCF-compliant qualifications as the awarding bodies and

The IExpE has individual members from most of the specialist areas within the explosives sector and military applicants with appropriate verifiable training and experience are always welcome. Through the Institute, members of all categories and from all disciplines have a live forum. Demolition contractors, explosives manufacturers, underwater specialists, miners, tunnellers, quarrymen, disposal contractors, vibration specialists, oil industry contractors, special effects technicians (pyrotechnicians), firework display operators, Police Explosives Liaison Officers, Legislators and members of the Armed Services find a common voice to express concerns and ideas and to understand better the requirements and concerns of those explosives engineering disciplines that are less familiar to them.

There are, of course, some specialist areas such as EOD where most of the civilian companies recognise and may insist on evidence of military training and experience.

Service leavers should not forget all those additional skills and qualifications they have picked up over the years, and should ensure that as many of them as possible are still current at the time they leave the Service. Qualifications such as HAZMAT Instructor, ADR driver, Government Authorised Representative are worth their weight in gold in the outside world.

Many companies will look for a multiskilled operator able to turn his or her hand to different facets of the task set.

DVD Exhibitors (A-K)

Open systems in the land domain

Taking place on 20-21 June at Millbrook Proving Ground, the DVD 2012 land forces technology event will take a close look at LOSA - an open system of integration and interoperability to enable coherent military units

DVD is an important event in the defence diary for those involved in the equipment and support for the UK’s land forces.

DVD is Defence Equipment and Support’s (DE&S) annual stakeholder event for the land equipment community. Held over two days at Millbrook Proving Ground, Bedfordshire, it is organised by DE&S - the part of the MOD responsible for equipping and supporting the UK’s armed forces for current and future operations.

DVD brings together the acquisition community with military personnel and industry organisations for two days of informal discussion and briefings.

As the sector continues to deliver the highest levels of technology, capability and service, DVD provides an opportunity to meet and share ideas about issues affecting current and future equipment and support.

LOSA is the major theme for DVD 2012 through which MOD intends to develop and encourage systems integration and interoperability so that it can have coherent military units for peace time training and

for operations, now and into the future.

Military units, such as an infantry platoon, consit of three platforms: soldiers, vehicles and headquarters (or base). For each platform, MOD is producing a generic architecture.

These are open standards which relate the interfaces to the infrastructure, power and data. In the case of headquarters or bases, water, waste and fuel. They will be available to anyone wishing to build a sub-system, which can be quickly added to the platform and changed or upgraded as needed. The standards are developed by MOD and industry working together and are mandated by MOD for relevant projects.

MOD is encouraging all DVD participants to take account of the standards in order to demonstrate how systems from different companies can be joined together through standard interfaces.

The conference theme ‘Open Systems in the Land Domain’ is being held on 19th June, the day preceding the event. ADS and UK MOD Defence Equipment will discuss the application of open architectures and systems E

DVD Exhibitors (L-Z) most comprehensive test and development facilities available to the world’s transportation industries, making it the ideal location for DVD. From its site, close to the M1 motorway just north of London, Millbrook provides virtually every test and validation service necessary for the development of cars, components, commercial and military vehicles as well as specialist applications such as aircraft and marine interiors.

It has established a world-wide reputation for confidentiality, service and competitiveness, using its combination of tracks and laboratories to help its clients improve almost every aspect of their vehicles’ performance.

DVD 2010 was opened by MP Peter Luff, Minister for Defence Equipment, Support and Technology who summed up government objectives and expressed his pleasure to be at the event and the importance of the role of DE&S in his speech: “Our first priority must be ensuring that those we deploy on operations, and therefore those exposed to greater risk, are provided with the best possible tools available. We are the team that must make Defence acquisition work. It goes without saying that we have a shared interest in doing so: our brave men and women in uniform depend on getting the right equipment at the right time and in the right place.” L FURTHER INFORMATION www.theevent.co.uk

CDE displays grant-funded defence technology innovations in London The Ministry of Defence’s Centre for Defence Enterprise (CDE) held a display of cutting-edge defence science and technology at the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills in London.

Equipment developed by small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs) and funded by CDE grants included an ‘ex-fix’ bike which is being used by injured troops at Headley Court.

Frazer-Nash developed the customisable bike to support patients’ changing needs throughout the rehabilitation process.

An imagery-based system to locate hostile forces from the air - 2d3 Sensing - has had four CDE contracts totalling £240,000 and has been combining conventional GPS with a new vision-based tracking system. Also on demonstration were e-textiles, which allow electrical power and data to pass through material. Surrey-based Intelligent Textiles, which is developing the electrical fabric, holds the Guinness World Record for the ‘most advanced soldier system uniform’.

The role of CDE, part of the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, is set to grow as outlined in the Government White Paper - National Security Through Technology.

This includes its ‘marketplace’ scheme to

provide dedicated support to mentor and promote the best projects from SMEs to help them grow and work with the main defence suppliers, MOD and other government departments. The first ‘marketplace’ will be held on November 1 this year.

Minister for Defence Equipment, Support and Technology, Peter Luff, announced an additional £2m of funding for SMEs. The funding, from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills’ Small Business Research Initiative, will help further support SMEs to develop their ideas.

Head of CDE, Jonathan Byrne, said: “At CDE we reach out to the widest range of possible innovators, provide funding to prove the value of innovative concepts, and now, through our planned ‘marketplace’ events, champion the most successful outputs across both MOD and the established defence industry.”

The Centre for Defence Enterprise was established in 2008 to encourage the delivery of research and development in support of front line operations. Since then it has provided funding of more than £23.5m almost half of which has gone to SMEs. tinyurl.com/bm29bjw

PIRACY

Ransom ban would have huge effect on seafarers Any move at government level to ban the payment of ransoms to pirates would have a massively detrimental effect on the risk to the world’s seafarers and the global economy, according to Alastair Evitt, president of InterManager and the newly appointed Chairman of the Save Our Seafarers Campaign.

Addressing the opening session of this year’s Connecticut Maritime Association (CMA) conference in Stamford, USA, Evitt said not only would such a ban have an impact on the willingness of any crew to transit high risk areas, but any owner who then did not pay a ransom for his crew would be unlikely to ever attract a crew again.

Responding to comments that came out of the recent London

conference on Somalia where governments called for a move to not pay ransoms to pirates, he said many vessels would be forced to reroute with the subsequent effect on costs. “And for those forced to transit pirate areas, insurance premiums would become prohibitive – to say nothing of the fact that in many cases vessels would become a total loss after six months. I, for one, would not sanction one of Meridian’s vessels transiting the high risk area – if there was no ultimate solution in the event of a vessel and her crew being held captive.” Addressing conference delegates, he went on to say: “I speak as Chairman of the Save Our Seafarers campaign when I say that we are opposing this apparent change of political will.”

FS Aconit hunts down suspected pirate activity

EU Counter Piracy Naval Forces (EUNAVFOR) have tracked down and stopped a group of suspected pirates who were believed to have tried to attack a Hong-Kong flagged tanker approximately 400 nautical miles off the coast of Somalia. EU Naval Force warship FS Aconit was called to investigate after the tanker came under attack on 26 March 2012. Aconit was directed onto the fleeing pirates by a Luxembourgish Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Aircraft (MPRA), which have recently completed 3500 Flights Hours with EUNAVFOR. The MPRA quickly located the suspects who were towing a small skiff behind a larger sea going whaler. TheMPRA provided imagery showing

pirate paraphernalia.

In order to conceal the evidence of their piracy activities, it is believed that the suspected pirates had cut loose and sunk the smaller skiff, containing weapons, ladders and a certain amount of fuel.

Aconit’s helicopter intercepted and stopped the whaler, which had 10 suspected pirates onboard, by firing warning shots on 27 March 2012. A team from Aconit boarded the whaler and the suspects have been transferred on board the frigate. Two suspects received medical care by the Aconit’s medical service.

The French Navy frigate Aconit’s intervention made it possible to hamper the action of a complete pirate action group, thus preventing them from committing new attacks in the area.

Naval commanders gather at Dimdex 2012

Maritime

THE BUSINESS MAGAZINE FOR SECURITY TECHNOLOGY – www.counterterrorbusiness.com

Distinguished Naval Commanders, experts and decisionmakers convened at the Middle East Naval Commanders Conference (MENC) on the second day of the Doha International Maritime Defence Exhibition & Conference (DIMDEX 2012) to discuss maritime security in the region.

This year’s theme, ‘The Strategic Importance of Maritime Security in Protecting the Global Economy: the role of technology and naval co-operation in securing trade at sea’, highlighted the significant role that naval forces play in generating and maintaining the stability needed for global economic prosperity by securing maritime trade routes.

Due to the MENA regions enduring geo-strategic importance, the MENC conference this year came at an especially crucial time with the world’s focus on the continuing threat of piracy and terrorism. Speakers discussed the latest developments in technologies, research and future strategies designed to safeguard national and international interests with the broader goal of protecting maritime trade on which the world relies.

One of many influential speakers, Lieutenant General Charles Bouchard, shared his observations and lessons learned as Chief of NATO Operations in Libya, notable as one of the most successful multilateral naval operations to implement UN resolutions to protect civilians and restore stability to an area of vital maritime interest.

AtoBviaC announces new anti-piracy routing tool The AtoBviaC tool enables the ship operator to select routes based on the most current intelligence, and accurately calculate the time and fuel implications of the voyage.

“In many cases this can work out to be considerably more accurate than the other available options and provides a level of self-determination that is missing from other solutions,” said Captain Trevor Hall, Director of AtoBviaC. Anti-Piracy Routing from AtoBviaC within the BP Shipping Marine Distance Tables is based upon information on piracy activity obtained on a regular basis from the Joint War Committee bulletins, and from specific routings requested by ship operators. All routes calculated are navigable, taking account of the need to keep suitable distances off shoals, wrecks, coasts and obstructions and also avoid oil field development areas. The routes are reviewed weekly and updates are issued at 2 monthly intervals or more frequently if significant changes need to be made.

The BP Shipping Marine Distance Tables are widely used within the marine industry and contains all ports, offshore terminals and transhipment areas needed by its many users, particularly: Worldscale; oil tankers; gas carriers (LNG & LPG); the container trade and the bulk shipping of coal and ore.

UAE minister worried about shipping threats The United Arab Emirates’ economy minister is asking for a global response to the concerns he has for the Gulf’s shipping industry. Worries include threats to close shipping lanes, increasingly violent piracy, and unpredictable oil prices.

Being one of the world’s main exporters of oil, the UAE transports its crude through the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran has recently been threatening to block this vital trade route, as sanctions and tensions between the West and Tehran have increased in recent months.

Nearly a fifth of the world’s traded oil passes through the Strait and into the Indian Ocean. No confirmation has been made on whether Iran will go through with this threat.

The Strait of Hormuz is also persistently patrolled by a fleet of naval vessels, as the area continues to be plagued by piracy. UAE officials would like more cooperation in battling maritime pirates. Chinese and U.S. naval forces have been aiding in protecting shipping across the Indian Ocean and in the Gulf of Aden.

CBRNe Asia conference set to discuss Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster The CBRNe Asia conference, exhibition and exercise will take place on 3-7 September in Bangkok, Thailand, and will bring together experts, policymakers, industry and procurement staff involved in CBRNe and disaster recovery. The event is being organised in full partnership with the Royal Thai Government. Over five days, it will include a two-day conference with high level speakers from the Thai government, ASEAN and the NATO WMD Centre. A special focus session will examine the Fukushima case and simultaneous stream sessions will examine themes including detect and decon, medical CBRN countermeasures, CBRN forensics and improvised chemical devices.

The event will be held in conjunction with the annual Thai National CBRN Exercise,

“Business has not recognised their role in natural disaster risk reduction in the changing environment” which will focus on a number of chemical and radiological scenarios, and will be fully accessible to all conference delegates. During the exercise, equipment made available by exhibiting companies will be used by the Thai civil and military authorities.

Esteemed military and government speakers from Asia, Europe, USA, South America and the Middle East will present case studies from those at the forefront of current operations.

Indian DRDO plans new CBRNE testing lab in Nagpur Senior scientists at the Indian Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) have revealed plans for a new CBRNE testing lab in Nagpur, Maharashtra.

According to Chief Controller Dr. William Selvamurthy, the lab “will be part of the Gwalior-based Defence Research and Development Establishment (DRDE) which is the nodal body for developing all kinds of technology to deal with CBRN emergencies. It will facilitate testing of various products in a closed environment without risking human exposure.”

The construction of the DRDO’s open-field test lab – designed to simulate the mitigation of CBRNE threats - marks an important stage in the DRDO’s development of a CBRN capability. It is said the testing facility will be fully functional within a year.

Preparedness for Biological Incidents’. This will cover China’s current surveillance system and the modeling of biological incidents.

The Asian Disaster Preparedness Center will also be speaking at the event, covering the tragic 2011 flooding in Thailiand. Killing nearly 657 people and affecting at least 65 provinces across the country, the World Bank’s estimates it as the world’s fourth costliest disaster, surpassed only by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the 1995 Kobe earthquake and Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

A large part of the damage during this flood stems from the effect on the manufacturing industry, with 930 factories in 32 provinces affected, including multiple industrial estates in Ayutthaya and Pathum Thani Provinces, which have been flooded.

Within the strong legal and institutional setup for disaster risk reduction in the country, the role of business sector is still seen as auxiliary and to an extent a contributor during disaster response.

Businesses have not fully recognised their role in natural disaster risk reduction in the changing environment. This session, entitled: ‘Thailand Floods - Way forward to PublicPrivate Partnership for effective disaster risk reduction’ will examine the setting up of efficient institutions for mobilizing collaborative private sector engagement.

Eurosatory 2012

THE BUSINESS MAGAZINE FOR SECURITY TECHNOLOGY – www.counterterrorbusiness.com

HOMELAND SECURITY FOCUS GROWS AT EUROSATORY Eurosatory 2012, held from 11-15 June, will be a key international meeting point for the land defence and security community. A vast array of solutions with a growing homeland security focus will feature across five days The Eurosatory land defence and security exhibition will offer opportunities to enhance knowledge of the world defence and security markets. In 2010, Eurosatory featured more than 1,320 exhibitors from 54 countries and was attended by over 53,500 visitors from 130 countries. These figures are the result of the incredible history of the show and of its specific focus over the years.

At the beginning in 1967, the exhibition was simply named ‘Satory’ and took place on the French military camp of

the same name, near Paris. At this time the exhibition was only dedicated to the French defence and security industries.

In 1992, the first international exhibitors took part the show, with 14 different countries represented. This major transformation saw the show move to Le Bourget and named ‘Eurosatory’ for the first time. The internationalisation continued in 1994 with American exhibitors taking part, and Russian companies following in 1996.

The first one-to-one business meetings were established in 1998, and with the world’s major military influences gathering at the show, a move to a bigger venue was required. Since 2002 it has been located at the Paris Nord Villepinte exhibition centre.

MARKET DEVELOPMENTS In response to market developments and changing needs, the exhibition is expanding and developing content for security bodies (police, rescue and emergency services) as they become more involved in counter-

terrorism. This worldwide trend can be seen at state level in threat prevention and response organisations and forces, as well as in the design and manufacture of the products and systems promoted by industry.

These products, which are often dual-use, are increasingly relevant to the security of the private sectors of the economy - the huge array on offer, such as protective equipment, operational medicine, homeland security and peacekeeping assets, training and simulation, infrastructure protection, optics and optronics, are being increasingly used by police and emergency services in civil contingency planning and disaster recovery.

NEW PRODUCTS With a total of more than 350 new products publicly presented for the first time in 2010, Eurosatory constitutes a starting point for the negotiation of large contracts, with buyers and suppliers making contact and clarifying their requirements. Comprehensive product presentations are featured E

ARINC’S AIM PLATFORM EXPANDS INTERNATIONALLY

Fully-managed, end-to-end security solution that protects over 60 per cent of USA’s Nuclear Facilities and critical infrastructure now available in Europe and Middle East International trade and economic growth hinges on the efficient and secure movement of goods and services through the global supply chain. Identifying chinks in the armour of that supply chain and managing the risk is an ongoing task for security managers at airports, seaports, railways, metros, highways, coach stations and national borders. Solutions to deal with potential threats have to be regularly reviewed and updated to remain effective.

The dangers are real. While open borders make travel quicker and easier, and the distribution of goods and utility services more straightforward, a secure, interconnected infrastructure – in transport, energy, technology and many other critical sectors – is crucial to the prosperity of every nation.

INTEGRATED SOFTWARE SYSTEM Whilst it is financially impractical to regularly invest in new equipment, a fully integrated software system that makes the most of disparate legacy equipment whilst also adapting to incorporate new technology provides the ideal compromise.

This is where the flexible Advance Information Management (AIM) commandand-control platform from technology specialist ARINC comes in. The fully-managed, end-to-end solution that protects over 60 per cent of the USA’s nuclear facilities and critical infrastructure is now being utilised by an increasing number of organisations throughout Europe and the Middle East.

As a market leader in the USA, the proven software has been successfully configured to protect nuclear power facilities, mass transit systems, airports, seaports, government facilities, military installations and education campuses.

“This is a roll-call of recommendation to inspire complete confidence,” said Paul Hickox, ARINC International’s operations director. “It confirms the success of AIM in creating a common interface that combines advanced technology and functions to enhance security across an entire operation.”

AFFORDABLE SOLUTION FOR ALL APPLICATIONS AIM is an effective and affordable solution for a varied range of applications and for organisations of all sizes. ARINC has deliberately positioned it midway between

costly, bespoke designs and prepackaged, one-size-(allegedly)-fits-all offerings.

“We start by assessing the individual needs of each AIM customer,” said Hickox. “This enables us to select the most appropriate equipment and software. Each of our solutions is based on industry standards, open architectures and certified interfaces that are designed and implemented to leverage existing infrastructure.”

Master systems integrator ARINC has vast experience in providing hardware, software and networking solutions that integrate smoothly with existing IT systems.

It also has unrivalled expertise in transport communications, engineering, systems integration and project management.

“And it’s not just our product that is first-class,” Hickox says. “Our service is equally impressive – we make sure that we deliver on time, in scope and within budget.

To sum it up, we are a straightforward company that delivers on our promises.”

SCALABLE ACROSS MULTIPLE ZONES AIM can be scaled across single or multiple zones within single or multiple facilities.

This enables sophisticated monitoring of all sub-system activities and alarms and provides operators with a common picture of their facilities. The use of handheld devices, if desired, allows first responders to receive the relevant video images and data for real-time, front-line decision making.

AIM ensures continuous and safe operations for an entire facility by offering interfaces for intrusion detection, access control, video surveillance management, physical security information management (PSIM), credential management, biometricsbased identity management, closed-circuit television (CCTV), vehicle identification, asset management and integrated geographical information system (GIS).

When AIM was installed to provide highlevel supervisory control and communications for the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve sites the brief included integration of legacy alarm, access control, security and surveillance systems that had been installed over a number of years. New equipment upgrades were to be added where needed.

“The project involved integrating numerous legacy third-party access control and video surveillance systems, some 15

years old, as well as a number of separate intrusion detection and alarm systems,” said Hickox. “This is precisely the type of application for which AIM is designed.”

There are situations where fast deployment and straightforward integration with existing infrastructure are the main concerns. In such cases a scaled-down version, AIM Enterprise Security Platform (ESP), allows organisations to manage their own migration to newer types of security technologies at their own pace. AIM ESP is also suitable for facilities where security needs change or where a rapid response to threats is critical.

TECHNOLOGY BRIDGE AIM ESP also provides a ‘technology bridge’ for those seeking a newer and open security enterprise environment while maximising the return on their existing investment in security infrastructure.

The two AIM solutions offer the highest levels of operational efficiency and reliability which is why they have rapidly become the first choice in critical infrastructure protection.

“ARINC has an unequalled 80 years’ experience of developing innovative products and services for commercial, aviation, government and defence customers all over the world,” said Hickox. “Every customer can be confident of receiving a top-quality product, a first-class service and, equally important, superb technical support.” L FOR MORE INFORMATION emea@arinc.com www.arinc.com

TWELVE REASONS WHY THE SPECIAL FORCES CHOSE RUBB THE UAE special forces is the latest defence organisation to benefit from using Rubb military buildings in the field to provide a high quality solution that gets aircraft undercover quickly The client saw Rubb’s Expeditionary Forces Aircraft Shelter System in action for the Canadian forces and purchased a 25m span x 36m long EFASS featuring Heli-Doors (18.5m wide x 6.5m high) at both gable ends. The structure also benefits from a 2000kg internal roof mounted crane.

The cutting-edge door and crane technology has raised Rubb Buildings Ltd’s game in the military sector. The company has been at the forefront of supplying vital hangars to the front line in conflict-torn Afghanistan. Now the UAE is set to reap the rewards of Rubb’s development of these invaluable accessories.

The 25m EFASS can accommodate a wide range of aircraft – from UAVs to the largest military helicopters. The completed facility is big enough to facilitate maintenance of a MH-47 Chinook without removing the rotors. For delivery it all packs down into 20ft ISO shipping containers.

Each hangar can be rapidly constructed using a number of steel fabricated components, together with uniquely-designed aluminium roof and leg sections that bolt together to form the span trusses. When assembled, tough PVC coated polyester fabric sheets slide between the aluminium extrusions of adjacent spans, to form the shelter. Ian Hindmoor, general manager at Rubb Buildings, said: “This is another new military client that has been impressed by the advantages our EFASS range has to offer and we hope that this leads to repeat business in the UAE”.

LITTLE BIRD FLIES FOR UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES It has certainly led to repeat business with the USA and UK military forces with a further 11 EFASS hangars flying into action in late 2011 and early 2012. The United States Army (160th SOAR) recently bought seven structures - two 25m span x 36m EFASS hangars, each featuring an 18.5m Heli-Door, one closed gable end and a 2000kg crane.

A further three 20m span x 28m structures were added to the order – the first 20m buildings to include the Heli-Door technology.

Each hangar incorporates one Heli-Door, one closed gable end and a 1500kg crane.

Two 11.1m span x 16m EFASS workshops complete the set. Hindmoor added: “These are the first 11.1m EFASS projects we have completed and we are very excited to see these hangars used for land, sea and air vehicle storage and maintenance. The ‘Little Bird’ hangars each

feature one 10m x 4m Heli-Door, one closed gable end and a 1000kg gantry crane.”

Meanwhile the UK Royal Air Force purchased four 20.4m span x 30m Rubb Military shelters in September 2011 – all include Trident Doors at both ends of the structure and have the capacity to house Tornados and Apache helicopters. They will be used on the flight line at RAF Marham and replace others that have been deployed on expeditionary missions around the world.

Rubb Buildings Ltd is a world leader in the design and manufacture of custom made relocatable engineered fabric structures.

Highlights include ground-breaking military buildings (aircraft hangars, shelters, storage facilities), specialist sports buildings and structures for a variety of sectors including aviation, ports, construction, bulk storage and environmental (waste and recycling).

All products are designed and manufactured at Rubb’s UK plant at the Team Valley Trading Estate in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear. The company was founded in 1977 and has a proud history of delivering innovative and quality structures to a wide range of clients.

The Rubb Group has plants in the USA, Norway, Poland and China.

HELI-DOOR This revolutionary door has been specifically designed and manufactured for the EFASS

range by Rubb Buildings Ltd, providing a robust, reliable and easy to use system. The main door horizontal members are standard EFASS building roof elements, which comply with the strict standardisation of parts code.

The door is electrically operated via two slow moving helical geared motors, with emergency hand operation capability. This system does not require a base foundation or ramps and there are no locking bolts. The door goes up and down at the touch of a button. Locking and safety devices operate automatically.

TRIDENT DOOR Specific to the 20.4m span EFASS, this full end-opening door speeds up aircraft deployment. The door is constructed using the same high quality aluminium framework as the main structure. Three framed PVC panels are hinged at the base of the hangar and the door operates via a button controlled motorised folding mechanism. L FOR MORE INFORMATION RUBB Buildings Ltd Dukesway, T.V.T.E.

CYBER SECURITY

LOGICALLY SECURE Logically Secure can help you take the necessary measures to minimise your vulnerability to cyber attacks and ensure that pragmatic and effective contingency plans are in place

In October 2010 the government published its National Security Strategy ‘A Strong Britain in an Age of Uncertainty’, drawn up by the newly created National Security Council. The strategy highlighted the need for the UK to be able to react effectively to evolving security threats from a wide range of sources.

Acts of terrorism and cyber threats are listed among the four Tier One risks to the UK’s security, with a recognition that cybercrime could escalate into cyber terrorism. In an attempt to combat these threats the government has committed £500m to tackling cybercrime.

MINIMISE YOUR VULNERABILITY Logically Secure helps organisations take the necessary measures to minimise their vulnerability to cyber attack and ensure that pragmatic and effective contingency plans are in place should an attack succeed.

Logically Secure continues to provide a wide range of IT security consultancy services to a diverse range of clients across a number of industrial sectors, from the music and entertainment industry to major government programmes, including the MOD and defence

industry. These services have ranged from providing incident response, investigation and recovery, security architecture advice and design, penetration testing, security accreditation support, and assistance with the Common Criteria (CC) evaluation process.

INCIDENT RESPONSE Over the past 12 months we have been called on to assist clients with IT incident response investigations following either a suspected or actual hacker attack or an unauthorised data release. The nature of these incidents necessitates a rapid response from Logically Secure to ensure that the integrity of forensic evidence is maintained, and can require sustained round-the-clock effort to resolve. Regular updates are provided throughout the incident, followed by a post incident report fully detailing the causes of the incident, investigation findings and our recommendations on preventing a recurrence.

process. Their requirement was to build an accredited network to carry Impact Level (IL) 3 data; the network was designed to connect two data centres and numerous sites throughout the UK as well as providing remote access facilities for authorised users.

The network was also connected to MOD systems at the same IL. Logically Secure were contracted to provide security advice on the design, carry out penetration testing of the network, produce relevant accreditation documentation, and provide the interface with the accreditation authorities.

Accreditation support was also provided to a MOD project providing a pre operational deployment training simulation capability to the British Army. This system provided an extremely flexible facility that could be used to simulate numerous theatres of operation; this drive for flexibility also introduced extra challenges to be able to meet the accreditation process requirements.

Logically Secure provided security architecture advice and assisted with the production of the accreditation documentation required to successfully achieve full accreditation.

COMMON CRITERIA Logically Secure has for a number of years been involved as the lead security consultant for the evaluation and accreditation of the IL3 ground communications and information systems component of a major defence Private Finance Initiative (PFI) programme.

The evaluation is being carried out to meet the requirements of CC Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 3. This has involved regular and extensive liaison with the Commercial Evaluation Facility (CLEF), CESG (a GCHQ department), System Accreditor and the main contractor providing the system.

Logically Secure helped to streamline the design, provided the documentation in support of the evaluation, and produced the test scripts to be run against the system to prove that the installed security enforcing functions actually provided the claimed level of security. The Logically Secure penetration test team also carried out penetration testing at different stages of the build process to de-risk the evaluation and ensure that the approved installation design was met.

BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL DETECTION FOR THE FIELD

The MAB, a new generation of biological field detector from Proengin, has the means to detect and categorise biological particles with an extremely low false alarm rate Proengin has developed biological and chemical warfare agents field detectors using flame spectrophotometry. The wellknown and widely used AP2C has proven the capacity of that technology to be the most reliable on the field with the lowest false alarm rate and the simplest ease of use.

THE NEW AP4C New developments such as the AP4C have extended the capacity of that technology to include chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial material in a simultaneous mode. There is no limitations in the number of gases detected by the AP4C. All nerve agents, all blister agents and all blood agents can be detected by AP4C within the requirements of response time and sensitivity of NATO recommendations.

The AP4C has extended the range of chemicals that can be detected by Proengin chemical detectors. All dangerous compounds containing Sulfur, Phosphorous, Arsenic and/ or HNO chemical bond can be detected simultaneously. Similarly to the AP2C unit, the AP4C has the capacity to work in very severe environmental conditions (explosive areas) and the measurements are unaffected by high humidity levels or by the presence of other organic chemical compounds, such as paint.

The AP4C technology allows the simultaneous detection of an unlimited number of gases and the identification of the chemical elements that constitute these chemicals. It is therefore possible to detect impure agents or chemicals manufactured by terrorists that would not fit into traditional libraries of other detectors.

Moreover AP4C will detect without upgrade new agents that will be developed in the future, as well as still not precisely known agents like Novichok agents (or non traditional agents).

The response time is among the shortest on the market, but what makes the AP4C unique is the recovery time after a positive detection. The AP4C is therefore the chemical detector that has the highest level of availability of the field.

Grateful to its remarkable performances, AP4C has been derived on other detectors, dedicated to the following uses: • use on reconnaissance vehicles and battle tanks

• use aboard naval ships • use for critical buildings and areas protection AP4C-V Based on the same detection technology and the same internal design, air entrance has been designed to face high wind: AP4C-V is able to take in representative sample of the outside air, even with a direct cumulated wind and speed of 100 km/h. Data are shown on easy to understand control box or directly on the control computer of the vehicle.

Sensitivity, short time to answer, low false alarm rate and short recovery time are the same as for AP4C, making AP4C-V the perfect detector for all kinds of reconnaissance missions and battle field exploration.

AP4C-F At sea, ANEP-57 recommendations stipulate the availability of both fixed and mobile means of chemical detection. As AP4C is the perfect mobile chemical detector for contamination control, the use of AP4C-F provides the naval ships with reliable and efficient chemical detection. This ruggedized detector shows the same detection performances as the AP4C, with 2 supplementary features. It produces its consumable gas by electrolysis, thus lightening daily maintenance, and more than an alarm, is able to trigger the ventilation of the vessels, thus protecting the citadel from the chemical danger. The AP4C-F is able to be operated on open deck, with the same performances.

National palaces, courts and parliaments are more and more equipped with fixed chemical detectors. AP4C-F, being able to be operated on naval citadels, is of course able to provide the same detection and protection on terra firma, for this kind of critical buildings.

BIOLOGICAL DETECTION The MAB, a new generation of biological field detector. MAB has the unique capacity of detecting and categorizing biological particles with a proven extremely low false alarm rate and the unique capacity to discriminate dangerous or suspicious biological particles such as Anthrax spores from natural background.

The very liable MAB has been designed to be mounted on track vehicles. It is insensitive to diesel exhausts.

As all Proengin products and thanks to the flame spectrophotometry technology, MAB is running in very severe outside conditions, shows the lowest false alarm rates (negative and positive) and requires reduced maintenance. It shows such a high level of availability.

AP4C-FB Government premises, courts and parliaments are also more and more equipped with fixed chemical and biological detectors.

AP4C-FB combines both chemical detection as for the AP4C-F, and biological alarm as for the MAB. This detector may be associated with a radiological probe, featuring the all in one full CBRN detector. L FOR MORE INFORMATION www.proengin.com
