COVER STORY

Protecting habitats BirdLife Greece Uses FLIR PT-Series Cameras to Secure Lesser White-fronted Goose Habitats

2 I February 2018 I IN Security

The Lesser White-fronted Goose (LWFG) is the most endangered waterbird in Europe. The greatest concern surrounds the Fennoscandian population, a subgroup within the LWFG population. In the beginning of the twentieth century, there were more than 10,000 Fennoscandian LesserWhite fronts. By 2011, there were only 15-20 breeding pairs.

Illegal hunting, accidental shooting, disturbance, habitat loss and habitat degradation are just some of the threats that have severely affected the LWFG population. To prevent the species from becoming extinct, the Hellenic Ornithological Society/ BirdLife Greece launched the Lesser Whitefronted Goose initiative, which is formally known as “Safeguarding the Lesser White-fronted Goose Fennoscandian population in key wintering and staging sites within

the European flyway”.

The endeavor, financed and spearheaded by the European Union’s LIFE + Nature program, focused on reducing mortality rates for the Fennoscandian LWFG population at key wintering and staging sites in Greece. From September 2011 to April 2017, LIFE enacted a series of conservation actions, including implementing a state-of-the-art security system to deter wildlife crime, which was a significant milestone.

“It is the first time that an outdoor wildlife surveillance system supported by ground patrolling unit operates in Europe, which allows immediate action on wildlife crime,” according to BirdLife Greece in a statement in its recent publication on the LWFG project.

To obtain an advanced intrusion detection system for the video component of its security solution,

LIFE turned to FLIR Systems. FLIR provided its PT-Series cameras, which provide advanced dualsensor technology. The PT-Series combines a cooled or uncooled 640x480 resolution thermal sensor, a 1080p high-definition visiblelight imaging sensor, and a high speed, precision pan/tilt system for perimeter surveillance and tracking.

The thermal sensor enables 24/7 monitoring and accurate detection in total darkness, light rain and smoke. The visible light sensor allows security operators to get a visual of the target for identification and verification.

This dynamic technology duo provides unparalleled situational awareness of the area and allows staff to respond to any threat before it reaches the perimeter of the protected area.

“Using FLIR’s technology, and especially the thermal sensor, wasg

IN Security I February 2018 I 3

particularly significant during the cold winter months the Lesser White-fronted Geese remained in Greece,” says LIFE Project Manager Manolia Vougioukalou. “The high temperature difference between the environment and the ‘warm’ targets, such as a human, car and/or animal, allowed immediate and accurate detection as well as assessment of potential threats to the Lesser White-fronted Geese and other wildlife.”

FLIR’s cameras were part of the Remote Unit of the project’s Smart Patrol System (SPS).

In addition to the Remote Unit, the SPS had a Control Center that managed the operation of the Remote Units and directed the vehicle patrol Mobile Unit to any

4 I February 2018 I IN Security

incident location using satellite maps.

The Smart Patrol System (SPS) was implemented at two important feeding and roosting LWFG habitats in Northern Greece. As a result of implementing the SPS, there were just a small number of incidents that occurred in the Fennoscandian LWFG population’s wintering areas from 2011-2017. The presence of surveillance system deterred hunters from the region and allowed for target checks of passing vehicles in the area, which lowered patrol costs and mobile unit operation in adverse weather.

The security technology improved efficiency for documenting incidents as they were automatically logged in the system. The SPS increased safety for patrols due to expanded

situational awareness through GPS tracking and mapping. The security system also identified other notable activities beyond illegal shooting such as a fire outbreak, a boat theft, illegal fishing, tourists who were too close to sensitive areas, and the presence of other endangered animals.

All in all, utilizing a security solution with advanced thermal and visible light sensors for wildlife crime detection and deterrence was innovative and effective. As of January 2018, there were 101 LWFG individuals observed at Kerkini Lake in Greece.

ASSA ABLOY supplies the security technology behind impressive architecture for new central library in Stuttgart London, January 2018 – The new city library in Stuttgart has been equipped with CLIQ® locking and access control systems by ASSA ABLOY. This cubeshaped 20,000-square-metre building is thus stateof-the-art in terms of both architecture and security technology.

The central library is the first public building to be completed in the new Europaviertel (Europe Quarter) currently under development in Stuttgart.

The Korean architect Eun Young Yi designed the building envelope to feature a double façade with glass bricks und entrances on all four sides, creating the new central library as an inspirational centre of knowledge and culture. ASSA ABLOY was awarded the contract for fitting the library with a security system. Specifications stated that the building entrances were to be equipped with electronic components that could be centrally managed and could integrate interior doors using mechatronic systems where required.

The new central library in Stuttgart is housed over a total of eleven floors. On the inside, architect Young Yi has created bright, wide spaces linked by numerous walkways. The centre of the building features brightly lit atrium four storeys high with a skylight made of glass bricks, above which there is a funnel-shaped gallery space. The highest security

6 I February 2018 I IN Security

level in the interior has been provided for the management, administration and data processing departments, for which the CLIQ® locking system has been used. Each battery-powered CLIQ® key features an integrated chip for the key and locking cylinder, thus making them unique. Keys can be programmed individually for each user. “System operators thus have control over their keys. CLIQ® excels thanks to its high flexibility when a key is lost or users require changes. Key access authorisations can be removed individually by reprogramming locking cylinders,” explains Andreas Wagener, Managing Director Sales and Marketing at ASSA ABLOY Germany. Access authorisations can also be enabled on a time-limited basis for external service providers such as tradesmen and cleaners.

Since opening, 500,000 books, films, sound storage media, newspapers, magazines, sheets of music, graphics and software packages are available to library visitors. The opening week saw performances and readings from the likes of philosopher Wilhelm Schmid and writer Hatice Akyün. There are also two regular guided tours – one based on the architecture and the other on the library itself. Security is hardly noticeable for visitors during tours but is highly important for those who run the library.

Brits welcome more armed police at public events Over a third of the British public want to see more armed police at public events to make them feel safer in light of recent terror events, according to new research.

36% of Brits are calling for more armed officers to patrol public events, such as music concerts, and 57% would like to see more security guards on duty around event locations.

The survey of 1,000 people, conducted by ATG Access, found that although almost half of the public won’t let recent terror attacks stop them from enjoying organised events, 39% would feel more at ease if emergency services, like paramedics, were on site and easily visible.

But it’s not just visible front line service personnel that will help alleviate fears this year. 44% of people would now like to see visible security measures, such as bollards and barriers to separate crowds from nearby traffic, put in place to prevent possible vehicle attacks.

Almost half (48%) of the public would welcome bag searches and 33% think metal detectors should be used at event entrances to spot suspicious behaviour. And 41% would like to see more CCTV and flood-lighting to help monitor festive events and public areas.

The study was conducted as part of ATG Access’ ‘Protecting the future of multifunctional cities’ report,

10 I February 2018 I IN Security

which looks at how cities in Britain are being transformed into bustling multi-functional spaces, and the obstacles that are preventing public events from taking place.

Gavin Hepburn, director at ATG Access, said: “With the increasing number of terror attacks that have taken place across Europe, tensions have understandably been heightened – particularly as the Manchester Arena was targeted last year. The general consensus amongst the public seems to be that they’re not going to let the threat of terror ruin their spirit, but there are still some concerns around security and safety at public events.

“Brits are now calling on authorities to implement more visible security measures, such as more armed police on our streets and physical solutions like bollards and barriers, to protect public events. But, the most important thing to bear in mind is that these measures must not create a ‘fortress mentality’. While the public may feel safer knowing that security is being improved, solutions shouldn’t incite more fear and should enable people to enjoy the event. There are robust physical solutions now available that can blend in with their surroundings so that they’re almost invisible.”

STANLEY Product & Technology sets new standards in access control with its PACOM 8707 display card reader

8th January 2018 …. STANLEY Product & Technology, the leading provider of security and access control solutions, has announced the introduction of its next generation display card reader – PACOM 8707. Developed around the company’s highly successful PACOM Unison platform, PACOM 8707 will initially be available in the Nordics, with the intention to roll it out across other countries and regions in due course.

PACOM 8707 has been specifically designed to meet the requirements of companies of all sizes that want the most secure access control solution possible. As the first line of defence against those wishing to infiltrate operational technology systems and information, PACOM 8707 incorporates state-ofthe-art card management and authentication, and supports all generations of the MIFARE protocol, including MIFARE Classic, MIFARE Plus (Levels 1 and 3), as well as MIFARE DESFire EV1 and MIFARE DESFire EV2. It also supports radio frequency identification (RFID) based cards and the Wiegand over the air protocol.

In order to provide an enhanced level of protection against hackers, PACOM 8707 also supports the latest version of the Security Industry Association’s (SIA) Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) to ensure that sniffing devices can’t be installed behind the reader or along the communications path. The use of OSDP also allows means the card reader can safely interface with control panels or other security management systems.

When used in modern commercial buildings, display card readers not only have to offer a high level of security and performance – they have to look good and be user friendly too. These elements have been designed into PACOM 8707 with a timeless and user-friendly design that is based around a cutting

14 I February 2018 I IN Security

edge organic lighting emitting diode (OLED) display.

This offers a solution that is much sharper than traditional liquid crystal displays (LCD) and can be read at wider angles and brighter light conditions, ensuring the information is readable in almost any environmental condition.

The screen itself can be used to display both text and graphics, facilitating customisation and the opportunity to, for example, incorporate corporate logos or provide basic instructions to users on what action to take next. This is all made possible thanks to 16 backlit buttons, which are also designed to be accessible to people with disabilities.

Remote and local programming and configuration couldn’t be easier. Programming cards or manual card reader programming devices are not required, as the downloading of encryption keys is carried out from PACOM Unison software, which then configures the card reader along with the rest of the security system. Alternatively, it can be locally configured through the OLED display when installed by an on-site systems integrator. Furthermore, the PACOM 8707 is highly flexible and its 10-30V DC range can accept a wider range of input voltages, ensuring that it can be installed in nearly any environment both indoors and outdoors.

Gavin O’Keeffe, Global Technical Director at STANLEY Product & Technology, commented, ‘The PACOM 8707 sets a new standard in display card reader technology and elevates the functionality and performance capabilities of the PACOM Unison platform. The features we have introduced in PACOM 8707 make it the most secure, functional, flexible and user friendly device of its kind and it will meet the ever-growing demands of end users, as well cementing our leading market position.’

Wavestore launches version 6.10 of its Video Management Software (VMS) Wavestore, the British developer of innovative open-platform and highly secure Linux-based Video Management Software (VMS), has launched v6.10 enabling simplified camera setup alongside new features and performance enhancements.

Automatic camera configuration has been introduced for ONVIF compatible cameras, greatly reducing the time it takes to set up systems on-site.

Integrators can now simply discover all cameras on the network and apply common ONVIF stream settings for each camera as a Wavestore generated profile, without having to use the camera’s setup screens. For projects with a large number of servers, systems integrators can simply create a single customised configuration file and roll it out across all Wavestore units, greatly reducing the time spent when commissioning larger projects.

is time synchronised and can be played back with associated video from any selected camera.

Two-way audio Wavestore’s VMS already delivers lip-synchronised audio as standard but v6.10 fully integrates compatible ONVIF cameras with built-in microphones and speakers to be used as part of a cost-effective two-way audio system. Operators simply click the microphone button on the WaveView client for an individual camera, or a group of cameras, to converse with people or broadcast messages across a site quickly and easily. Audio is included in each channel license and recorded onto a separate track, which

Flexible “The success of Wavestore’s VMS depends more than ever on our flexibility, adaptability and responsiveness to the needs of our customers.” says Julian Inman, Head of Product Management. “Many of the enhancements we are delivering in v6.10 are in direct response to customer feedback as Wavestore’s VMS is used in an ever-increasing number of projects around the World.”

ACCESS CONTROL

A dedicated standard Improved building access control in the United Kingdom

Building security for both commercial and multi-unit residential buildings comes in many forms and remains a top area of focus for building designers, contractors, and managers alike. The first line of security for any building often begins with basic physical attributes, including aspects such as low shrub lines, high fencing, and well-lit parking lots and property grounds, but the first line of defense for electronic security is typically a building’s access control system.

By limiting building access based on a specific set of physical or electronically recognized and

20 I February 2018 I IN Security

restricted credentials, access control systems help ensure easy access for those who need it (residents, employees, etc.) while also helping to prevent potential bad actors from gaining unauthorized access.

Though many of the basic principles of electronic access control apply regardless of region, some specific countries and regions have unique requirements or take an enhanced focus on building security, requiring a more dedicated approach to ensuring the proper operation of these devices. Such was the scenario in the United Kingdom (UK) when the UK Police Authorities, through its

Secured By Design (SBD) initiative, sought a dedicated standard for access control systems and equipment in the UK. To accomplish this goal and work to ensure a dedicated focus, SBD sought the partnership of UL (Underwriters Laboratories), a global safety company with a rich history of safety-science experience. Together, a dedicated UK standard – UL 293, Outline of Investigation for Access Control System Units Intended for Use in the UK - was developed to cover England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland to provide reliable guidelines to the industry.

Understanding the Basics of Access Control Access control systems provide electronic building security by using appropriate credentials – including access codes, security cards, and biometric scanners – to control and authorize access. At the authority having jurisdictions discretion, the systems support unrestricted egress from the building/dwelling to help ensure easy escape in the event of an emergency. Additionally, best practice typically requires the support of battery backup power so as to not inconveniently restrict access during power outages.

As these systems rely on electronic components, such as keypads, card readers or biometric scanners, extra consideration must be given to both the functionality of the system and the physical and electronic security of the various components. Security is typically a tiered approach, involving several layers that work together to keep premises secure.

The implementation of an access control system is a critical initial security layer.

Addressing the Unique Requirements of SBD Secured by Design is focused on the design and security of new and refurbished residential dwellings, commercial buildings and car parks.

Through close collaboration with the industry and applicable test houses, SBD works to create and maintain high level security standards by responding to crime trends in the UK. This focus and attention to the country’s specific security needs is what led SBD to engage with UL on the development of a dedicated standard.

With a century long history and depth of knowledge as a standards development organization (SDO), testing organization (TO), and certification organization (CO), UL’s experience complemented the efforts of SBD. Additionally, SBD was familiar with the benefits of the existing standard, UL 294, Standard for Access Control System Unit. The dedicated standard that resulted from this joint effort - UL 293 – was designed to complement “Secured

by Design HOMES 2016” (published 2016), a crime prevention initiative specifically applied to the UK.

To help ensure recognition of and compliance with the UL 293 Standard, “HOMES 2016” references the standard directly, noting, “The technology by which the access control system operates is outlined within UL 293.” Additionally, the document outlines several requirements that access control systems must meet to be found suitable.

More specifically, “HOMES 2016” requires more than the use of a restricted electronic key fob, card or other credential.

The external door entry panel must be resistant to vandalism and, as an extra deterrent, should include an integral camera. Further, for resident security and convenience, the restricted access door must be connected to a remote release within the dwelling and audio/ visual communication between the occupant and the visitor is recommended. Finally, color images of those using the access system should be captured and all panel activities, visitor and resident, should be recorded and maintained for 30 days. g

IN Security I February 2018 I 21

Covered by UL 293 Testing to UL 293 must be completed by an authorized test lab and UL is the first test lab to offer such service.

The standard is a performance only document that covers equipment as it is meant to be used, but it does not contain the same safety-related tests or construction requirements found in UL 294. In the EU, selfdeclaration is very common and the goal was to align with locally acceptable conformity assessment practices. Self-certification to IEC/ UL 60950-1, Information Technology Equipment - Safety - Part 1: General Requirements, is acceptable in the UK as most products fall under the Low Voltage Directive and IEC 60839-11-1, International Standard for Alarm and Electronic Security Systems, is considered a recommendation. Just as the “HOME 2016” document references UL 293, the standard also requires that installation of the access control system must be completed in accordance with the requirements set forth in “HOMES 2016.”

Attack resistance is assessed based on attack performance in accordance with BS EN 1627/1630, Resistance Class 2 (RC2). Within these requirements, the product must be able to withstand a physical attack for a minimum of 3 minutes and a maximum of 23 different tools can be used during various attacks.

For outdoor use equipment, water spray is addressed as part of the required ingress tests to help ensure

22 I February 2018 I IN Security

the system can withstand a 6.3 mm spray nozzle test in accordance with IEC 60529 and will not grant access as a result of ingress. Further, the standard adds requirements to address “door forced” and “door held open” trouble conditions along with the annunciation of loss of primary power to indicate the equipment is operating on standby power.

Assuming normal operating conditions, requirements are also in place to address the use of industry defacto interface protocols such as Wiegand and Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) formats. An overview of some additional requirements that align with international norms can be found below: • S upply-line Transients – Test performed in accordance to IEC 61000-4-12, with IEEE C62.41 noted as an alternate.

• Input/Output Circuit Transients – Test performed in accordance to IEC 61000-4-5, with the legacy UL 294 access control system test noted as an alternate test method.

• Variable Ambient Temperature – Products must withstand temperature exposure to 45°C, rather than 49°C as outlined in UL 294, to better reflect typical environmental conditions in the UK.

Finally, encrypted communication and line security requirements are detailed in the standard, but software cybersecurity is an everevolving challenge that is offered as a separate element of service through UL 2900 series standards.

As the world becomes increasingly connected, with more products joining the internet of things (IoT) every day, guarding again a cyberattack is just as important as seeking to prevent access gained through physical means. In addition to UL 293, a third-party evaluation to a standard such as UL 29002-3, Outline of Investigation for Software Cybersecurity for NetworkConnectable Products, Part 2-3: Particular Requirements for Security and Life Safety Signaling Systems, can work in complement to assess software vulnerabilities that may be present in an access control system.

Ensuring the reliable performance of an access control system is only a part of SBD’s larger focus, but it is a critical component of building security. As an element of tiered security of a building, access control panels provide much needed security and peace of mind to building owners and residents. Combining the dedicated, UK focus maintained by SBD with the standards development, testing, and certification services of UL proved to be the ideal solution to enhancing building security in a way that works to complement the efforts of the UK Police Authorities.

Intelligent devices Changing things for the better A detailed look at the future of video security

The Internet of Things (IoT) is changing the way we view video security, quite literally. Now, cameras need to be so much more than devices with which to simply capture images; they need to be far smarter than that. Today, cameras are becoming an integral part of the vast digital connectivity infrastructure, they need to be shaped into intelligent sensors that have the ability to extract invaluable data to help businesses make improvements in the area of video security, and beyond.

24 I February 2018 I IN Security

If we take the automotive industry as an example, cameras used as intelligent sensors give vehicles an incredible sense of environmental awareness, and enables them to proactively prepare for, and respond to, the surrounding driving conditions.

And, because cameras can ‘see more’ with data, drivers know if it’s a person, object, or the kind of vehicle it is they’re about to encounter.

In fact, Bosch has research and development located of both

automotive as well as security systems in Hildesheim, Germany.

The base analytics algorithms developed for autonomous driving are also used for video analytics built-in to Bosch video security cameras.

Creating limitless possibilities On a wider scale, the IoT has caused cities to transition into smart cities, whereby an existing video security infrastructure should be considered as a means to start collecting smart data to

help optimize energy consumption by controlling urban lighting according to footfall, or ensure public transport is following a timetable, or control a sequence of traffic lights to optimize traffic flow.

From a business perspective, it means an initial investment in video security can also be used for other business purposes.

Bosch wants to shape this change by offering intelligent cameras, combined with the expertise of industry partners such as Genetec (governmental projects), ISS (tunnels, bridges and highways), Qognify (airport projects) and Milestone (public safety).

The camera is a fixture for the future Conventional sensors perform well, but they have their limitations.

Whereas a motion detector can sense movement and trigger an alarm, a camera can scrutinize the whole scene in detail and provide vital information such as object type, direction, size, color and speed.

Bosch has scrutinized and adapted the way we look at cameras in order for them to remain future-relevant, and end-users should too. The camera for the future is focused on information, not just imagery.

Through constant innovation, Bosch

integrated an in-depth intelligence into its cameras, so they not only capture the image, but the backstory, too. With data analytics, you get the who, the what and the when.

Cameras that see more are better for your privacy This may seem counterintuitive, but cameras that are more advanced, more intelligent, and deliver more information are also more effective when it comes to privacy, because these are the devices with the most progressive user management features for efficient monitoring of access to video data. Experience has taught us that the most detailed, informative data captured is virtually useless unless it has the highest level of protection to keep it secure from prying eyes.

A connected device is a more secure device When a camera is connected to the internet it enables users to constantly check its operational status and push security updates when required. But as technology in a connected world gets smarter, so do the hackers, which is why cybercrime prevention is paramount. Bosch offers a full suite of data security measures.

In addition to familiar steps to

gain access, such as a strong password, all communications between camera and network are encrypted (cryptographic keys are safely stored in a unique built-in Trusted Platform Module) and have advanced user management settings to control access to data.

And, as an extra layer of security, the video security cameras only allow Bosch-signed firmware files to be uploaded. So, in the event of a file becoming infected or corrupted, it will no longer be recognized as the original and it will not be accepted by the camera.

Defining the ‘i’ camera It’s not an understatement to say that cameras such as those by Bosch, with built-in video analytics as standard and at no additional cost, have rewritten the rules of video security. That’s not to say the basic requirements have been dismissed. On the contrary, optimum image quality, the latest ‘futureproof’ video encoding, efficient bitrate management (reductions by up to 80%) and trusted data security will always be a priority.

But it’s the added information and connectivity that sets Bosch cameras apart from conventional cameras and makes them truly intelligent. The ‘i’ camera can seamlessly interact and share g

IN Security I February 2018 I 25

information with other smart devices, has the ability to perform tasks independently, and makes maximum situational awareness possible via detailed interpretation of data to ascertain the nature of an object (i.e. human or vehicular), its speed (average and maximum), direction of travel, color and size.

Future-facing cameras making a difference today With partners like ISS (Intelligent Security Systems), Bosch has been able to optimize its regular camera portfolio to integrate seamlessly into the infrastructure of ‘Smart Cities’; specific examples being the development of ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras, enabling real-time traffic control with an unrivalled degree of detailed information via the accurate capture of license plates, and the optimization of a city’s energy consumption via smart lighting that responds to crowd volume and movement. At airports, too, Bosch has partnered with AnyVision, NEC and ISS once again to offer complete facial recognition solutions in the security area.

Another recent example that demonstrates how the relevance of these intelligent cameras is resonating with customers is

26 I February 2018 I IN Security

the Eurasia Tunnel in Turkey; an innovative, double-deck subterranean road link spanning 5km. Its unique construction and traffic configuration is quite an achievement, as is keeping that traffic flowing. By utilizing the built-in video analytics of selected cameras, the tunnel’s operators have detailed, reliable support when accidents need to be assessed immediately and accurately, not only to ensure swift dispatch of the emergency services, but also to provide the best level of information and assistance on their arrival at the scene.

Essential Video Analytics or Intelligent Video Analytics?

Bosch has developed smart video analytics in two formats, Essential Video Analytics and Intelligent Video Analytics, but which is best for you?

Essential Video Analytics is ideal for regular applications, providing the ideal support for business intelligence (inter-network data transfer, for example), advanced intrusion detection for heightened safeguarding of commercial premises, quick and accurate retrieval of data, and bespoke control via alerts that can be set for specific locations or circumstances.

Intelligent Video Analytics has

all the capabilities of Essential Video Analytics, but has additional features specifically developed to make a critical difference in extreme situations. For example, in more expansive areas, like an airport perimeter fence, the system is ideal as it has the range and capability to provide analysis over large distances such as this. With a moving camera it is also possible to capture data on objects in transit, thanks to its Intelligent Tracking. What’s more, for roadside use, Intelligent Video Analytics is resistant against the most thunderous of vibrations, whilst in certain extreme weather conditions it can still operate where others fail and continue to detect objects in heavy rain or snow.

Imagery is only half the story Bosch’ intention is to capture data that is not only useful but gets used. It may surprise you to learn that, on average, only 10% of data captured gets used. Bosch aims to push that figure closer to 100%, by making intelligent cameras that are invaluable in making the streets safer, cars smarter, and businesses more profitable.

Bosch believes the future of video security is more than just an image.

EXHIBITION

SCTX18 Global experts gather at SCTX18 to fight war on terror

Since the breakup of the caliphate in Syria, the terrorist threat has evolved as extremists now remain in their home countries and look to launch attacks from inside their borders.

This has presented those tasked with protecting nations, businesses and the public with new challenges as security forces constantly fight to stay one step ahead of the threat.

Covering over 13,000 sqm, the show is the largest national security event in the UK, enabling 304 companies to showcase their latest products, technologies and services alongside 10 conferences, 2 live demo areas and the world-renowned, World Counter Terror Congress.

David Thompson, Event Director at UK Security Week, commented: “The threat posed by terrorists has never been more diverse from the simplicity of knives and hire vehicles to technologicallyadvanced cybercriminals. It’s vital that nations, security professionals and the public are fully informed of the most effective methods of

28 I February 2018 I IN Security

protection to mitigate these threats – we specifically tailored this year’s programme to respond to these challenges.”

The World Counter Terror Congress The showpiece of this year’s event was the World Counter Terror Congress, which was attended by over 700 VIPs, delegates and highranking police officers and chaired

by Richard Barrett, Coordinator of the Al-Qaeda/Taliban monitoring team of the United Nations Security Council. The event featured worldrenowned speakers such as the Metropolitan Police’s Assistant Commissioner, Mark Rowley; Sir Julian King, European Commissioner for the Security Union and Michael McGarrity, Assistant Director of Counterterrorism Division at the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI).

In Mark Rowley’s final public appearance before retiring, the UK’s national lead for counter terrorism policing, delivered a strategic

overview of operations under his command, heavily criticising technology companies for their lack of proactivity in working with the police having failed to make a single direct referral to them about terrorist activity on their sites.

As part of the most international line-up the conference has ever featured, Michael McGarrity, reviewed FBI operations on detecting, deterring and disrupting threats to the United States while Christian Rousseau from the Government of Canda’s Integrated Terrorist Assessment Centre discussed the Canadian approach to the evolving terrorist threat.

Richard Walton, former Head of the Counter Terrorism Command for the Metropolitan Police Service added: “Extremist propaganda has changed course over the past year, encouraging attacks to be launched from home nations with terrorists opting for crude methods utilising everyday services such as hire vehicles. This has led to a whole

new set of challenges for security professionals to address in order to prevent attacks and protect the public.

“Terrorism is a global challenge and it is vital that nations collaborate and work together on a global scale with events such as the World Counter Terror Congress which provides a vital platform for the sharing of best practice and the most effective counter terrorist strategies.”

In addition, SCTX provided a series of free-to-attend conferences focussing on the ever-growing cyber threat, infrastructure, border and transport security. Located on the show floor, the sessions were at full capacity on both days, with visitors keen to hear the latest thinking from the industry’s foremost experts.

Countering the cyber threat The cyber industry, now worth an estimated £3.4bn, is one of the most rapidly evolving threats facing security professionals today. This

year’s Cyber Threat Intelligence Conference, run in association with techUK and sponsored by Genetec and Darktrace, gathered cyber experts from all over the world to discuss how best to protect against cyberattacks whether on individuals, businesses, or governments.

Key speakers included: Sir Julian King, European Commissioner for the Security Union for the European Commission and NATO’s Merle Maigre, Director at the Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence.

Chairing the conference again this year, Talal Rajab, techUK’s Head of Programme, Cyber, National Security, added: “Every year, we face new and innovative attacks as cybercriminals look to exploit gaps in cyber protection. Now, we’re facing a new challenge in the fight against the dissemination of extremist propaganda online.

“Additionally, organisations must adhere to specific requirements with GDPR and the NIS Directive coming into force in May or face

serious ramifications. SCTX is the best place to stay on top of the latest developments in the industry and learn about the most effective levels of protection for you and your organisation.”

Infrastructure and business protection The Critical National Infrastructure & Business Reliance conference, sponsored by Surelock McGill and Pelco, brought together security experts in protecting businesses and assets essential for the protection of everyday life. Key speakers included Mr Chris Flynn, Security Operations Lead, Data Security Centre - NHS Digital and Dr Anja von Wulffen, Desk Office, Directorate II Risk Management; International Affairs Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK).

Award-winning products This year also played host to the inaugural Counter Terror Awards, run in association with Counter Terror Business magazine and hosted by Sir Michael Fallon. The awards were staged to recognise the efforts of both public and private sector organisations and their contributions to counter terror strategies in the UK and abroad.

Director of award-winner, Audax, Adam Liardet commented: “Having hosted The European Commissioner for Security Union, Sir Julian King, at our stand we were then thrilled to receive the Communications Systems Award at the Counter Terror Awards presented by Sir Michael Fallon.

“For an SME to be able to engage at this level, is evidence enough that the Security & Counter Terror Expo provides opportunities and delivers where other events just don’t come close, it will come as no surprise we have already booked for next year.”

Planning for the 2019 event Clarion Events announced that the next edition of SCTX will return to London on 5-6 March 2019 for UK Security Week.

Event Director, David Thompson, added: “The 2018 show was our most successful yet and we’re looking to take 2019 to the next stage. We introduced many new features this year to ensure that the show remains the UK’s leading national security and counter terror event and at the forefront of strategic discussion and product innovation. This raised the bar yet again and we’re looking forward to working with our key partners over the coming months to maintain that success into next year’s show.”

EVENT SECURITY

Show must go on Security tips for events this Summer

Every year, over 7,000 major outdoor events are held in the UK, with over 85 million people attending festivals and events.

However, with an increase in attacks over recent years, it’s crucial that there are security measures in place to keep all attendees, workers and acts safe. Here, First Fence, a leading supplier of security measures, discuss what security steps you can take, to minimise any risks.

32 I February 2018 I IN Security

Metal Detectors & Bag Searches Following last year’s devastating atrocities in Manchester and London, festivals have upped their security to reduce the terrorist threats that are ever-looming. One of the main problems with such attacks is the non-sophisticated and random nature of them.

Festival workers have received additional training to carry out more comprehensive bag searches, whilst ensuring that festival goers

aren’t held up too much. Last year, organisers at Leeds Festival only allowed people to take bags into the arena that were smaller than an A4 sheet of paper.

It’s recommended that all festival goers minimise their luggage so as not to slow queues down; or take multiple trips through the barriers, as opposed to carrying all bags through in one go.

With Coachella taking place in April in California, workers have recently received emergency

training to specifically deal with mass shootings; in addition to the standard metal detectors.

Whilst it’s sad that we should even have to consider these eventualities, it’s important that everyone stays safe. By planning for all possible scenarios, it means that everyone can enjoy the festival, and feel safe.

Educate the Public Festival organisers have been encouraged to advise members of the public to educate themselves on what they should do, should they find themselves in the horrific situation of a terrorist attack.

The government has produced a handy leaflet, detailing what to do if people find themselves in the midst of a weapons attack, and have also created a stay safe video. It’s important that you give this information to your staff in advance and ensure everyone is on the same page.

This year, to help keep your security tight at your upcoming festival, educate attendees on how they can stay safe should such

an incident happen. Hopefully it will never come to that, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Crowd Control Security measures need to be put in place before your event even starts: get an idea of numbers attending, and carry out a risk assessment. Ensure there are plenty of entrances and exits, and create a clear concourse for people to walk through. Consider any temporary structures that could collapse, and the eventuality that people may try climbing on structures and equipment.

Having barriers in place can be beneficial for crowds, especially due to an increase in the number of vehicles being driven into large crowds (something which the Edinburgh Fringe advocated last year). However, the other thing to consider with barriers and fences, is the possibility (however slight), that a crowd surge could result in people being crushed.

To help keep festival goers secure, ensure all of your workers are 100% clear on their roles

and responsibilities. You can’t go wrong with hiring several stewards, as they can show people around, and monitor crowds for any suspicious behaviour.

Work with Local Authorities Doing risk assessments and having backup plans for all eventualities is a great way to up security at your festival, but you can help to make attendees even safer by working with local authorities, emergency services and the police.

Once you’ve developed an emergency plan, share it with them, and they can advise you on anything you may have missed, or let you know if there’s a better, more effective way of doing something.

In your plan, don’t forget to include key members of the emergency services such as the nearest police station and fire rescue services. Try and obtain one or two key contact names at each of these so someone is then aware of your event. g

Ultimately, festivals are a place to have fun, enjoy the many live acts and spend time with friends Other security considerations There are additional steps and measures you can take to ensure your event or festival is secure and runs smooth. Remember, preparation is the key:

Security staff budget?

Set your stall out early with a budget for your security measures. This is not a time to cut corners however, so you’ll need a robust budget that is realistic. You will need basic security staff covering all exits and entrances, a few dotted around the venue and a room or cordoned off area for security HQ.

Plan for the worst Hopefully you won’t need it but having a plan of action should the worst occur is vital. Ensure all your staff are aware of the emergency evacuation procedure

34 I February 2018 I IN Security

for guests, VIP’s or performers and themselves too. Have a contact list and a safe route to the nearest hospital available and put together a robust plan for locking down the venue should a major incident occur.

through walkie talkies or radios.

However, for larger events, why not invest in temporary CCTV? You can then have a member of the team keeping a birdseye view on your event and prevent problems before they occur.

Size judgements

Ultimately, festivals are a place to have fun, enjoy the many live acts and spend time with friends; and whilst chance of an attack is unlikely, it’s something that you need to consider, should the unthinkable happen. By planning ahead with these four tips, you can help to ensure your festival runs smoothly, whilst knowing that everyone is as safe as they can possibly be.

You can’t be everywhere at once, so depending on the size of your event or festival, you may want to put together silo teams who can handle security. If you have hired an external security team, their should be a team manager or supervisor that you can consult with and make sure you’re on the same page with event policies.

Invest in technology Again, this comes down to the size of your event. As a minimum, all your security staff should have direct communications

James Kelly, CEO, British Security Industry Association As the deadline to data changes under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) looms nearer, companies and organisations across the UK will have been taking steps to ensure that they fall in line with the new procedures. A crucial part of this process will have been in procuring the right services to ensure their data storage adheres to the changes. From May, organisations will not only have to prove that they have taken an audit on their data but also prove that that they have taken the right steps to destroy data that is no longer relevant. After this date any company seen to not be in compliance with the new rules are at risk of compromising their business.

So what are the tangible risks?

Top of the list of will be a raft of financial penalties being issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), or even prosecution of those who commit criminal offences under the Act. The ICO can currently issue businesses that display poor data management in breach of the Data Protection Act with fines of up to £500,000. The largest of these fines so far was £400,000, issued to two separate companies (Keurboom Communications Ltd and TalkTalk Telecom Group PLC). In addition, there have been 19 prosecutions for criminal offences committed under the Data Protection Act during the same time period. Under GDPR fines

can be up to 4 percent of annual global turnover or 20 million Euros.

The other most common risk will be reputational damage leading to potential lost business; as customers are becoming increasingly aware and concerned about how businesses collect and use their personal information, businesses run the risk of losing customer confidence in the brand where they feel that their privacy is not being protected or respected. A loss in customer confidence ultimately leads to financial loss.

When it comes to information destruction, the seventh principle of the Data Protection Act stipulates that appropriate measures must

be taken against accidental loss, destruction or damage to personal data and against unlawful processing of the data. So when the new GDPR legislation comes into force at the end of May, companies in both the private and public sectors will need to prove that data is securely erased in line with the new guidelines, and show that they are fully accountable for monitoring, reviewing and assessing relevant processing procedures.

How do we mitigate against these potentially expensive and reputational hazards when it comes to disposing of data no longer needed? Shredding confidential material is costly and time consuming, which for some firms means in-house data shredding is not a viable option, and this is true for those handling vast amounts of data across a variety of sites. In these situations outsourcing to a regulated information destruction (ID) organisation is the most practical alternative.

By engaging a company who specialises in this service, either on or off site at a high-security shredding facility gives organisations the reassurance that it is being done

to the highest standard. Registered data shredders have to comply to the highest industry standards which are regularly updated and providing this service has to be able to demonstrate that they are certified to EN15713 – the European standard for data destruction. This standard sets out the measures that organisations should take to maintain the security of confidential data and provides recommendations relating to the management and control of collection, transportation and destruction of confidential material to ensure such material is disposed of safely and securely.

GDPR represents a great opportunity for information destruction companies. In the current climate there has been increased demand for these services from both new and existing customers, asking about GDPR and how information destruction can assist. But even with all this help at hand there is still confusion around what it means to be fully ‘GDPR compliant’; not just from the point of view of the customer - but also, how does it affect the industry itself as holders of their own data?

Industry feedback from customers

shows varying levels of concern, from companies looking for accreditation to others happy with a downloaded template data policy or standard T&C’s to others simply ignoring the deadline.

From an industry standpoint there are three elements that could affect information destruction as a business; their own data responsibilities, the shredding services provided for the destruction of data as a data processor, and marketing to opted-in existing and prospective clients.

These elements are all currently open to interpretation (both by experts and customers) and are most likely common across all industries, so it is arguable that even with all this information at hand companies are still not fully aware of their obligations, no matter how robustly laid out by the ISO. Of course some of these issues opens up opportunities for companies dealing with data to create new services from these companies but it shows that even at this late date there is still work to do in communicating what companies need to do and so close to a major data milestone. g

What is data destruction?

Secure data destruction is the process of destroying confidential materials to the point that they cannot be reconstituted. These materials can take many forms, including paper, computer harddrives, branded products and uniforms, but crucially, they all hold the potential to cause problems for business, employees or customers if they fall into the wrong hands.

Information Destruction companies provide a range of services to help businesses of all sizes to protect themselves from the risks associated with data loss or theft. Shredding of materials can take place at business premises using a mobile shredding vehicle, or materials can be collected and shredded at a high-security shredding facility.

Whether confidential materials are shredded on-site or at a high-security shredding facility, businesses that outsource their shredding to a professional service provider can be assured that the data will be completely destroyed.

Additionally, the services provided by an information destruction company extend far beyond the

38 I February 2018 I IN Security

actual destruction of confidential material. These services can also include secure document storage, data security advice and guidance, office clearance and recycling.

Every business will collect and generate confidential information relating to its operations, its employees or its customers.

When this information is no longer required, there can be severe consequences for the data subjects if the information is not correctly disposed of and subsequently falls into the wrong hands.

Therefore, any business that collects, holds, processes or disposes of a person’s personal information has a responsibility to ensure that it is protected from loss or theft. In fact, since the Data Protection Act was passed in 1998, there has been a legal obligation for businesses to act responsibly with regards to how they use personal information.

Under the Data Protection Act 1998, everyone responsible for using data has to follow the data protection principles. These include ensuring that data is used fairly and lawfully; for limited, specifically stated purposes; used in a way that is

adequate, relevant and not excessive; accurate; kept for no longer than is absolutely necessary; handled according to people’s data protection rights; kept safe and secure; and is not transferred outside the European Economic Area without adequate protection.

This is all set to change as of 25th May 2018, when the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into effect in the UK. The GDPR will have potentially significant impacts on the ways in which UK businesses collect and process the personal data of individuals.

All organisations globally are obligated to provide evidence of compliance and can be fined for any data breach. Failure to comply could lead to tough financial penalties. The definition of personal data is now broader there will be stricter rules for obtaining consent as a legal basis for processing personal data. As a data controller a company must have a legal basis for processing and collecting personal data and must ensure adequate contracts are in place to govern data processors.
