cover story

30 Years of innovation Group Chairman of Paxton, Tony Ratcliffe shares his thoughts on how the company has developed as Paxton celebrate 30 Years of innovation at IFSEC International

T

his year, Paxton, market leader of electronic IP access control and door entry equipment, is celebrating 30 years of innovation with special birthday activities at this year’s IFSEC International, taking place at ExCeL London, 16th-18th June.

2 I June 2015 I IN Security

Back in the 1980s, the company was founded by Tony Ratcliffe, now Group Chairman of Paxton Access, following an incident in which he had his credit cards stolen. The story goes that one hot summer’s day Tony decided to mow the lawn in his swimming trunks. As was the style at the time the trunks were

rather small and didn’t leave much room for the storage of a key! Tony left the back door to his house open and proceeded to mow the lawn with a very noisy machine. An opportunistic thief took advantage of this momentary lapse in security and went in through the open door and swiped all of Tony’s credit cards.

“Continuously developing and improving its offeringings over the past 30 years – listening and exceeding the expectations of our customers” This unhappy event led to the formation of Paxton Tony Ratcliffe says: “I was furious. It’s the only time I have been burgled and it had a huge effect on me. I felt an electronic keypad/lock combination was the ideal solution as the means of access would be in your head. This was a gap in the security market, and I sensed an opportunity for a solution I could make and sell.”

Paxton has continuously developed and improved its offering over the past 30 years in an effort to listen to and exceed the expectations of its customer base. Some key products over the company’s lifetime have included TOUCHLOCK, CARDLOCK, Net2 Entry and Net2 PaxLock.

Paxton Automation, later Paxton Access, entered the security market in 1985. At first it was just Tony operating from a premises in Lewes and shipping products from the local post office.

The company’s first offering was TOUCHLOCK, a complete keyless locking system designed for use in homes and offices; it employed the latest electronic and metals technology to unlock doors using a four-digit code. TOUCHLOCK provided increased security and ease of movement for authorised personnel, plus added peace of mind without the burden of a conventional key and the concern of it being lost

or stolen. For a first venture into the security industry the product proved a success, but it had also highlighted further possibilities for development within the market.

To begin with there were unexpected challenges such as the number of processes that went into producing the system, which were time consuming and didn’t always go to plan. The metal casing for the control unit threw up some teething issues when it was returned from the manufacturer with bubbles in the metal, but after much back and forth this was resolved. From the offset Paxton has paid exceptional attention to the development of high quality products, and these issues helped the company establish its ethos of getting things right.

CARDLOCK compact launched in 1992, a versatile card access control system for indoor and outdoor use and the ability to manage up to 4,000 users. CARDLOCK offered convenient control over access permissions and was easy to manage and completely self-contained, meaning no complicated setup. It also connected to keypads giving the option of code or card entry.

Then, in 1999, Paxton experienced its most successful product debut with the release of Net2. A networked access control system

with a host of features, such as intuitive software, auto detection and distributed intelligence meant the product was quick and easy to learn, install, commission and set up. Net2 gave huge operational benefits to the installer and the end user. Designed for sites to grow from a single door to hundreds of doors across multiple buildings and always utilising the latest technology, Net2 was truly future proof. It’s a testament to the system that Net2 is still number one on the UK access control market today.

Unfortunately, late 2000 brought torrential rain to South East England and this led to severe flooding at the Paxton factory in Lewes. Paxton’s main premises were submerged in water up to a meter deep destroying all electrical equipment. The damage to the building was restorable, but the incident had highlighted the need to find new premises at a new location.

In 2004, Paxton made the move from its small industrial unit in Lewes to the offices on Home Farm Road in Brighton. The relocation was a major step in Paxton’s expansion plans and in fact the company is still based there today with 250+ team members active in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Benelux, France, US, South America, UAE and South Africa and distribution to 50 countries worldwide. g

IN Security I June 2015 I 3

Paxton has been extremely successful establishing business overseas, particularly in the US where with its current rate of growth the market has the potential to be even bigger than the UK. This success is due to the commitment and enthusiasm of local support teams, partners and distributors in working hard to ensure the company’s values of providing high quality products, education, customer care and support are consistent.

Talking about the growth of the company, Tony Ratcliffe says: “International expansion was only possible when we had a product and a company that was scalable.

After 30 years, we have never been stronger, this means we have hit upon the formula for success. We have to change as we grow and constantly reinvent ourselves - it’s about scaling up the principles of your company as it increases in size.”

Back in 2012, Paxton kicked off the year with the introduction of Net2 PaxLock. The most significant addition to Net2 in over a decade, Net2 PaxLock offered installers complete networked access control in a wireless, battery powered door handle. A solution that was fast to fit, simple to set up and versatile for a range of sites, it utilised Paxton’s own reliable wireless protocol with the trusted technology of Net2. PaxLock proved a popular choice for sites where cabling was tricky and is still a popular product on the market today.

Net2 Entry, Paxton’s smart, simple door entry system marked a

4 I June 2015 I IN Security

dynamic, fresh direction for Paxton when it showcased at IFSEC 2012.

It comprised of just three simple components for easy installation, the touchscreen monitor, robust exterior panel and door control were able to unit auto detect on setup, making it a truly scalable, plug and play solution.

Since launch, significant upgrades to the system have comprised of enhanced capabilities with many new high security features enabling installers to offer customers a complete door entry solution for extra reassurance. Developments have included the introduction of Net2 vandal resistant panels, SIP compatibility, secondary camera integration, intruder alarm integration and video voicemail.

Net2 Entry has gone on to be nominated for many industry awards and has won three.

Paxton prides itself on its industryleading customer care and support but it is only able to provide this because of the ambitious and dedicated team working behind the scenes. Two characters that have positively impacted on the company are Drew Hoggatt, who in the position of Managing Director grew the company from 20 to 100 people, and Adam Stroud who started his career at the company in the factory and is now CEO of the Paxton Group.

Talking about the team at Paxton, Tony Ratcliffe says: “It is a real pleasure to see hidden talents emerging in a high growth company like Paxton. We promote where we can and I find it extraordinary how

much latent talent there is in our offices. I think Paxton people are quite rare, about 1/50! They are people who enjoy a challenge and love progress.”

In June visitors to IFSEC International can learn more about Paxton’s journey with a visual timeline located on the Paxton stand (G1500).

Demonstration points will provide an insight into systems and the features on offer, including Paxton’s exciting introduction to building intelligence, net10, as well as innovative new door entry solutions.

Paxton’s international team of industry experts will be on hand to offer advice and information about products and training. The company offer hands-on training for its complete range of standalone and networked products. Sessions are designed to provide the essential knowledge and confidence needed to specify, install and maintain all Paxton products. 100% of installers trained would recommend it to a colleague.

Continuing the theme of innovation, Adam Stroud, CEO of the Paxton Group, will discuss changes to the technology landscape during a talk in the Security Solutions Theatre on Wednesday 17th June, from 12:00pm – 12:30pm. He will present a view of the future for the security industry, exploring the widespread use of smart mobile devices and rise of the Internet of Things.

Paxton will be at stand number G1500 during IFSEC International.

4K on the agenda for Panasonic at IFSEC Panasonic will use IFSEC to launch an integrated True 4K surveillance system.

Panasonic recently launched a dome camera which delivers ‘True 4K’ image quality and, at IFSEC, will expand their 4K portfolio with a 4K Network Video Recorder and 4K video wall screens, providing a True 4K system.

The True 4K camera (WV-SFV781L) can cover a view four times larger than 1080p cameras, and a view nine times larger than 720p cameras. It can also cover two and three times the distance of 1080p and 720p cameras respectively, reducing the overall cost of a surveillance system by as much as half.

“We want to provide a working, off the shelf, 4K system, that will reduce overall surveillance costs,” said Sean Taylor, European Head of Marketing and Channel at Panasonic Security Solutions. “We estimate that the cost of switching to True 4K could reduce surveillance costs by as much as 50 per cent, once you take in to account a reduction in installation, cabling, network costs and maintenance.”

“For a variety of organisations, Panasonic’s True 4K surveillance technology will have its place. For instance, on buses or trains, only one 360° 4K powered

10 I June 2015 I IN Security

camera is needed per carriage rather than four to cover each angle. This is significantly less hardware to manage and maintain,” Taylor added.

As part of Panasonic’s total security system, access control, intruder alarm and fire detection devices will feature on stand this year. Solutions for a range of applications which combine intelligent analytics with surveillance camera technology will demonstrate how organisations can get much more from CCTV systems.

Parcel tracking systems for logistics will be on show along with solutions for Banking, including vandal proof ATM cameras equipped with a 360° fisheye lens and microphone. Transportation and control room solutions will also feature on stand.

Panasonic’s Face Server will show how organisations can accurately profile their customers. The Face Server can be used for marketing purposes, such as changing advertising on digital signage based on the age and gender statistics detected by the surveillance cameras.

The new model combines the enhanced resolution of 4K with low-light sensitivity leveraging 1.0 type back Illuminated Exmor R CMOS image sensor, bandwidth optimization features, and intelligent scene capture capability to adopt the best picture quality, making the model ideal for city surveillance, transportation, railway, traffic monitoring and airport surveillance applications.

4K technology gives security users the ability to capture content at four times the resolution of Full HD (1080p). With the exceptional detail provided by 4K technology, security professionals can expand their wide area surveillance and still capture, magnify and examine the smallest parts of a scene such as a face or a car license plate number – all with a single camera.

The SNC-VM772R camera combines these benefits with enhanced visibility, reduced total system costs and flexible and easy installation for customers.

Sony has developed several unique technologies to overcome the challenges of 4K cameras in the market: improving visibility and light sensitivity while reducing the amount of bandwidth needed to handle large 4K files. Higher-resolution imaging has traditionally come at the expense of low-light sensitivity. The new SNC-

VM772R uses a 1.0 type 20MP Exmor R sensor and is capable of 0.1 lx sensitivity for clear image capture in light and dark conditions.

A back-lit structure doubles the camera’s light sensitivity and a built-in infrared (IR) light source enhances low-light use and night-time shooting for improved visibility at longer distances. In wide area coverage, various lighting conditions exist during the day and night. The SNC-VM772R has 90dB wide dynamic range and 30fps to deliver clear, sharp images for better visibility and recognition.

Finally, a 2.9-times motorized zoom lens is matched to the image sensor to maximize video resolution. The lens features optical image stabilization and helps capture images with low distortion.

“4K is the new video security standard,” said Katsunori Yamanouchi, Vice President, Sony Professional Solutions Europe. “But 4K imaging is about more than just increased resolution. It’s also expanding the application potential of security cameras and helping to transform security and surveillance. The increased resolution covers a larger area, improving situational awareness and ensuring nothing is missed. These benefits help security professionals reduce installation and operating costs as fewer cameras are needed for specific areas.”

Sony will be exhibiting the new SNC-VM772R alongside its latest product range through live technology demonstrations with solutions partners at IFSEC on Stand E250, at the ExCeL Centre in London.

The industry’s leading provider of classroom and e-learning online security systems training courses has put together a balanced programme of jargon free training sessions which they say will entertain, as well as educate and inform all those who attend.

Sourced from across the security industry, the hand picked list of expert speakers will include:

• Peter Mason, the lead IP tutor for Tavcom Training, who will offer a thought provoking expert opinion on the key challenges presented by the growing demand for IP network based video surveillance solutions.

• Richard Beckley, who develops and delivers training within the Central Forensic Image Team at New Scotland Yard. Richard will offer guidance on how to ensure that video evidence is fit for purpose and can help lead to a successful prosecution.

• Jon Laws, a Senior Tutor for Tavcom Training and an international renowned speaker, who will share his expert knowledge on the system planning and design process needed to ensure that a video surveillance system is able to capture and record evidence grade images.

• John Ballantyne, Chairman of the ONVIF Market Demand Working Group, who will provide an insight as to how businesses at every level of the supply chain, from those who specify and install, to equipment manufacturers and software developers, can realise great benefit by adopting ONVIF. • John Mearman, a expert on Drone technology, will present a compelling session on this business opportunity for the surveillance industry.

• Ken Livingstone, whose presentation on ESRM (Enterprise Security Risk Management) is a must for any security professional who is looking to keep one step ahead of the criminal fraternity and terrorists.

• Mike Gillespie, an expert on the threat to organisational information assets, who will provide a dynamic, but simple to understand overview of cyber vulnerabilities in business environments.

n The Tavcom Training Theatre will be on stand B1200 at IFSEC International which takes place at ExCeL London on 16-18 June.

Bosch Access Control Integration with Milestone is Certified XProtect Access Control Module provides handling of events, doors and gates from the easy-to-use video interface Milestone Systems open platform IP video management software (VMS) is integrated with Bosch Access Control – and has been certified with full documentation of testing results and best practice for optimal configurations. This means that Bosch and Milestone customers can count on a reliable, interoperable solution, and installing partners can take advantage of the practical information in the certification documents for better implementations.

The integration between the Bosch Access Control system and the Milestone XProtect® VMS was achieved earlier with the user interface via the Bosch system, and subsequently upgraded with the XProtect® Access Control Module in 2014, with the certification process completed by the end of the year. The combined solution now displays real-time access control events and alarms in the Milestone XProtect® Smart Client, also providing control of doors, gates and barriers from within the video interface. Live video and views of recordings are synchronized with all the access control events.

The XProtect Access Control Module is part of the Milestone Integration Platform Software Development Kit (MIP SDK). The XProtect Smart Client provides a unified interface to the Bosch Access Control system with such dedicated functions as monitoring access events with video verification, manually assisting passage (controlling doors, gates, etc.), conducting investigations of specific access points or cardholders, easily exporting video evidence and generating reports.

Video of the Bosch access incidents visually confirms and informs on situations as they happen for verified decision-making and efficient response. The video also provides easily shareable evidential documentation for analysis, rectification or prosecution.

The seamless integration of Bosch Access Control with the XProtect Smart Client means Milestone customers can keep their easy-to-use video interface

18 I June 2015 I IN Security

while adding access control – without having to re-train.

The integration delivers real-time monitoring with video verification for fast response to incidents, including locking, unlocking or triggering a system lockdown.

Users may also choose to work with the Bosch interface, and the access control main system administration remains within the Bosch system.

“Bosch is one of the first Milestone Solution Partners to integrate via the XProtect Access Control Module, which shows a strong commitment to our open platform,” says Trine Voss, Head of Solution Partner Program at Milestone Systems. “Flexibility and reliability are two of Milestone’s core business values; these are both demonstrated in the certification of the Bosch Access Control system with our XProtect Smart Client interface.

The freedom of choice lets operators use the features that are most efficient for their security needs.”

The certification of the Bosch Access Control integration via the XProtect Access Control Module is another stamp of the strong partnership in the longstanding relationship between these two companies.

Milestone Systems already supports the full line of Bosch IP video network cameras, including the comprehensive Bosch analytics offerings.

“Bosch’s Access Professional Edition (APE 3.0) is a powerful and scalable access control application, and by that a perfect contribution to the Milestone Solution Partner ecosystem,” states Rudolf Spielberger, Head of the Integration Partner Program at Bosch. “With the fulfilled integration via Milestone’s XProtect Access Control Module, we validate Bosch’s openness strategy by providing – in the uncompromising interest of our customers – common open platform solutions for this demanding market.”

n Look for the Bosch-Milestone integrations at the upcoming IFSEC trade show in London in June, and other industry conferences in the future.

Videx has launched a new biometry access control reader that is designed to strengthen building security within public and private UK properties.

Ideal for offices, schools and high security private buildings, the reader uses bio technology to manage access control. This means that entry into and out of an area relies on a person’s unique characteristics, in this instance their finger print, rather than the requirement to carry a fob or remember a PIN number.

The flush finger print readers complement the existing range of finger print readers already available from Videx but offer a solution which will fit a standard UK flush single gang electrical box. This range is for internal use only and available in a selection of six finishes to suit any decor.

Commenting on the new range, Steve Natton, Special Projects Manager at Videx said: “When it comes to access control, a fingerprint is the most secure means of authentication because PIN numbers can be discovered and fobs or tokens can be lost, copied or shared among people. Using capacitive technology, the reader reads the ridges and valleys that make up a finger print. The pattern of these ridges and valleys is then compared with stored data using an algorithm which compares the data and decides depending on the security level if the finger print is a match to the data stored. The finger print as a whole is not stored in the reader, just the data needed to verify a match.

If a match is found this is then referred to the access controller to either grant or deny access based on other requirements such as access level or time bands.”

Steve continued: “A good example of where the Bio reader can be used is an office complex, where it is necessary to control the areas staff and visitors have access to. This could be either during certain times

Biometric Finger Print Reader Offers Enhanced Security

or certain days of the week and could restrict certain sensitive areas of a building to a select group of users.

Finger print readers eliminate the problem of users sharing access codes and key fobs with the added benefit of an audit trail of who has accessed which areas of a building and at what time.”

The new reader is designed specifically for the UK single gang electrical box and enables first fixing without the worry of knowing unique dimensions or fitting requirements for the product. It also enables inexpensive flush electrical boxes to be used for different types of installation such as for solid walls or plasterboard walls.

The finger print reader has an industry standard Wiegand output enabling the reader to be used with Videx standalone and networked access control systems as well as third party access control systems supporting the Wiegand protocol.

When It Comes to Border Surveillance, the Trend is Thermal Providing effective protection of borders through thermal technology Smuggling. Illegal immigration. Terrorist threats. These are just some of the challenges faced by governments trying to control border incursions. As part of a series of high-tech measures to deal with the ongoing threats, there is an increasing move toward thermal imaging systems. Using these powerful systems, border guards and security forces can observe and investigate any incident occurring during the day or at night, as well as in adverse weather conditions.

Increasingly, wide area scene surveillance as well as close-up threat assessment is being carried out by high performance dual channel camera systems.

Offering both day color and 24/7 thermal cameras, these powerful systems provide the capability to distinguish between normal day-to-day events and possible security threats, particularly when protecting perimeters, critical infrastructure and borders.

Cost and reliability are prime considerations when it comes to systems placed on borders and coastlines.

Border security systems must be able to operate around the clock in harsh conditions, for years at a time. Fast response is critical. On detection of a potential threat, it must be recognized and analyzed in order to immediately initiate response. There is little room for false alarms and other problems resulting from poor lighting conditions, shadows, scenery movements caused by winds and similar reasons that may rule out the use of regular cameras. As a result, there is increased usage of thermal cameras and systems.

In the past, long-range observation and surveillance was carried out using cooled thermal imaging systems.

Security forces frequently run video analytics on the thermal channel, because most threats have a clear thermal signature compared to the background. As a result, the thermal cameras are operated non-stop — not only in darkness or bad weather conditions. For cooled thermal systems, this means a great deal of regular preventive maintenance. Uncooled thermal imaging systems have been available for some time, but until recently their performance did not match

22 I June 2015 I IN Security

that of similar cooled systems. That’s changed with the introduction of long-range uncooled camera systems which offer almost the same performance as their cooled counterparts, at lower prices and with significantly lower cost of ownership.

A leading manufacturer of such thermal systems is Opgal Optronic Industries. Opgal’s uncooled Accuracii XRU multi-sensor camera system offers all of the benefits of a cooled system, without its drawbacks. The company has noted increased interest in these systems and recently reported a number of significant sales of the Accuracii XRU, specifically in the realm of border security.

Offering long range detection and recognition, the Accuracii XRU provides effective protection of borders and critical infrastructure enabling timely threat verification and response. Accuracii XRU features an advanced high resolution 17μ thermal camera with a 25-225mm continuous zoom lens, enabling detection of a person up to 7km away. It is also equipped with a powerful regular camera for daytime assessment, and an optional Laser Range Finder.

An additional layer of protection is provided by equipping border guards with handheld thermal cameras and binoculars. Here too, Opgal offers a number of solutions varying in weight, size, and range.

But when it comes to accessibility and affordability, the company’s Therm-App™ thermal imaging camera for Android is a front runner. The compact and lightweight Therm-App™ camera offers night vision capabilities for surveillance, perimeter security, search and rescue and other security applications — plus all the convenience and functionality of a smartphone.

When selecting thermal imaging systems for border and security applications, affordability and reliability are major considerations. It’s here that Opgal’s line of uncooled and handheld thermal imaging systems are enabling security forces to see beyond the visible and carry out effective border surveillance.

Threat mitigation

A

Protecting critical infrastructure from threats by Tony Berning, Senior Product Manager, OPSWAT

ccording to research performed by Lloyd’s of London insurer, Aegis London, “in the first half of the 2013 fiscal year, the US Department of Homeland Security’s Industrial Control Systems–Computer Emergency Readiness Team responded to more than 200 incidents, 53% of which were in the energy and utility sector, and many of them sponsored by states such as China”. Efforts to improve the security of critical infrastructure systems like nuclear power plants and water treatment facilities have accelerated at a rapid rate since the issuance of US Executive Order 13636, “Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity”, on February 12, 2013.

24 I June 2015 I IN Security

As attacks become more sophisticated and digital control systems increase in complexity and levels of automation, it is increasingly difficult to prevent threats from impacting the operation of critical infrastructure.

As a security measure, most critical infrastructure systems are air-gapped, or isolated from external networks. Because of this, portable media is a primary vector for cyber-attack; it is often the only way to transport files to and from secure areas. As key attack vectors for malware, it is extremely important that extra attention is placed on securing the portable media devices that are brought in and out of a secure facility.

While imperative to

the protection of critical infrastructure, securing portable media devices is not easily done, and there are many requirements that can impact the portable media security policies for operators of critical infrastructure. In many cases, there is no single source for an organisation’s portable media security policy, and individual facilities may require unique security policies.

This article outlines a secure data workflow which organisations can implement in order to balance their security needs against their operational requirements, as well as how best to approach the crafting of security policies that address the inclusion of portable media while ensuring adherence to EO 13636.

“Monetary damages aside, there are other costs that may result from a security breach. The impact to an operator’s reputation can be serious” Security Balancing Act When making decisions about security policies for a critical infrastructure facility, the costs of implementing a stricter policy need to be weighed against the potential costs that could result from the failure of a weaker policy.

The solution for each organisation will vary based on the requirements necessary to meet their security and business objectives.

Increases in digital security rarely come without a corresponding increase in operating costs. These costs include purchasing a security solution, implementing this security solution, and finally managing and maintaining the solution. Initial costs often include the physical infrastructure necessary to deploy the solution, such as servers, kiosks and networks, as well as the consulting services that are often required to implement the solution correctly.

Following the solution deployment there will be ongoing costs, which include the monitoring and management of the solution, keeping the solution up-todate, and educating employees.

Employees must be trained on the new security policy and associated procedures, which often results in a temporary reduction in productivity as employees acclimate to the new security processes and procedures.

That said, these expenditures must be weighed against the costs of a potential security breach, which can be enormous.

Facilities may be forced to suspend operations if the breach is serious enough; the monetary impact of even a temporary shutdown is difficult to calculate given the nature of the industry. There are also the remediation costs, the forensics to assess the damage as well as the removal of any malware that has found its way into the secure network. Coupled with this is the significant productivity loss, as employees’ usual workflow is hampered during the investigation and cleanup effort.

Monetary damages aside, there are other costs that may result from a security breach. The impact to an operator’s reputation can be serious, criminal liability and classaction lawsuits may follow if others are negatively impacted. Depending on the breach, the loss of classified

or sensitive information is also a possibility, the financial impact of which may be hard to quantify.

Finally, by definition, any operator of critical infrastructure provides services to the public, which, if disrupted, will have significant negative impacts (such as power outages) on many individuals and groups outside of the operator itself.

Defining Acceptable Media and Content Defining a portable media and content strategy is key to a secure data workflow policy. As with all security programs, development of a program and policy should consider the business and technology requirements and limitations of an organisation.

When developing a secure data workflow policy, organisations should first define what types of portable media are acceptable and how they can be used. In secure facilities,g the standard policy is to restrict the types of media and files to only those necessary for employees to perform their jobs successfully. For example, if there is no business reason for USB g

IN Security I June 2015 I 25

drives in a facility, these should be prohibited to eliminate the risk they introduce. Another facility may decide to only allow USBs and CD/DVDs and ban other types of portable media like external hard drives. For example, if an external storage device has multiple partitions or is not a read-only device it could be classified as a high security risk and therefore not adhere to the secure data policy.

The same is true for limiting the files that are permitted by an organisation’s security policy. Administrators may choose to limit the file types that are allowed; for example, banning executable file, but allowing document files. Administrators could also filter files based on their properties; for example, limiting files to a specific size or blocking any encrypted files where a password has not been provided.

Designing Secure Data Workflows The secure data workflow policy within a critical infrastructure facility, especially pertaining to physical media being brought from an insecure environment into a secure network, should attempt the highest level of precaution achievable. The best security policies have multiple layers of protection, to guard against many types of threats, both known and unknown. This defence-in-depth strategy will minimise the risk of any one threat getting past all of the security layers. A secure data workflow should leverage threat protection methods including: User authentication and source verification: Prevent unauthorised users or sources from bringing in data and facilitate logging for future auditing.

File type analysis and filtering: Prevent risky file types from entering the facility, including files that have spoofed extensions Multiple anti-malware engine scanning: Detect threats that are known by any of the many commercial anti-malware engines, and leverage many varying heuristic algorithms to detect zero-day attacks.

Document sanitization: Further protect against unknown threats by using sanitization methods to strip potential threats out of documents and images.

A common implementation of the above referenced data workflow are kiosks stationed as check points at the entrance to secure facilities. Kiosks provide the bridge for any data entering a secure facility, so that the workflow can be controlled and known and unknown threats can be kept out of the facility. Anyone entering a secure area would be required to use the kiosks to scan all portable media drives before the devices are allowed entry. The kiosks would confirm the user, the source, the file type, look for any malicious partitions and malware, and determine whether the device is secure or if it requires further inspection. An administrator can then also add enforcement of the specific media devices that are allowed into the facility. For example, allowed media devices could be restricted to known, pre-screened portable media that are trusted to be “clean”. Any files allowed through the secure data policy above would need to be copied to the trusted drives before entering the secure facility. This workflow ensures that no portable

media enters a secure area without first passing through a full data security analysis.

Common architectures for a kiosk-based secure data workflow can include: standalone kiosks, kiosks networked together, and kiosks connected to a centralized scanning server. These solutions can be connected or disconnected from the Internet depending on the facility’s level of security, and the desire for ease of management.

The most efficient method of protecting a facility against the threats potentially found on portable media is a difficult one to establish for operators of critical infrastructure. There are many aspects that impact how a secure data workflow is defined and implemented, including the types of portable media expected to be brought into a facility by employees, outside contractors, and visitors.

Each should be weighted and quantified to define a strong and robust secure data workflow policy that allows an organization to operate in the most secure and productive way possible.

A critical infrastructure facility should err on the side of caution and develop secure data policies that are as restrictive as possible, but flexible enough to evolve with an organization’s shifting security and business needs. An administrator should evaluate various data security policies, measure the benefits and costs of each one, and determine how to successfully implement the security solution. The best policy will be one that takes a facility’s specific business and technology needs into account and is designed accordingly. n

inx International Group’s recent acquisition of a majority shareholding in UK based Tavcom, the world’s leading provider of accredited security systems training, has further bolstered the Group’s profile as a global training brand.

In this interview, David Gill, a Chartered Security Professional and CEO of Linx International Group which includes renowned security management training providers, ARC Training International and Perpetuity Training, as well as Linx Consulting, explains the thinking behind the investment in Tavcom.

28 I June 2015 I IN Security

Q: David, with two highly successful training companies already under the umbrella of the Linx International Group, why have you felt a need to acquire Tavcom?

offer anyone who wishes to develop a career within the security sector, the widest possible choice of specialist security systems and security management training programmes.

A: Anyone who works within the electronic security industry will be aware of the outstanding reputation that Tavcom has built over the last 21 years for developing and delivering world class security systems training. It is an area of security which neither ARC Training International nor Perpetuity Training has previously addressed. Tavcom is therefore a very welcome addition to our Group. We can now truly claim to

Q: Will the Tavcom name disappear?

A: Absolutely not. Tavcom will continue to operate under its existing brand within the Group and clients can be assured that they will continue to receive the very highest levels of service that they have come to expect from Tavcom. Mike Tennent, who founded Tavcom, has been appointed the company’s non-executive Chairman, whilst Paul Tennent,

previously Sales Director for Tavcom, has been appointed Group Sales Director for Linx International.

Q: Why was it necessary for you to acquire your shareholding in Tavcom? With your extensive experience of operating training organisations, could you not have simply added security systems training courses to what ARC Training International and Perpetuity Training already offers?

A: When you invest in a company such as Tavcom, you not only acquire a superb portfolio of tried and tested accredited training courses, as well as a very large database of satisfied clients, you also gain access to its people. With Tavcom, this is particularly significant because of the quality of its tutors who have all been handpicked for their technical knowledge as well as their teaching skills. I am delighted to have the

opportunity to be working with these highly competent professionals who share a passion with myself and colleagues at ARC Training International and Perpetuity Training for helping security professionals add to their skill sets.

Our investment by way of acquiring the major shareholding in Tavcom is just the beginning of what I am sure will be a very exciting journey for the team and our clients.

We will, for example, continue to develop Tavcom’s superb classroom and workshop facilities in Bishops Waltham, Hampshire.

Under the leadership of our Group Training Director, Ken Livingstone, we can also expect to see further development of Tavcom’s accredited online ‘e-learning’ courses which offer a practical alternative to traditional classroom style courses, allowing students to learn in their own time without having to come‘off the road’.

In addition, we will continue to support initiatives such as the Tavcom Military Resettlement division which focuses on facilitating the transition of ex-forces personnel into the security sector.

Q: What does the future hold for Linx International Group?

A: One thing we can be certain of is constant change, whether that be in the form of advances in technology or the increasingly sophisticated activities of criminals and terrorists.

I am in no doubt that to be effective and successful within the security sector during the 21st Century, it is essential for security professionals to underpin their knowledge and expertise acquired at the coal face, with business acumen and career enhancing academic qualifications.

I am therefore determined that all three training organisations within the Group continue to develop g

IN Security I June 2015 I 29

and deliver progressive training programmes that are topical and relevant to the challenges facing all who enjoy working within the security industry.

UK based Tavcom is the world’s leading provider of accredited security systems training for installers, operators, managers and designers of CCTV, Network IP, access control, intruder and fire alarms.

Part of the Linx International Group, Tavcom offers courses to meet the training requirements of security personnel at all levels, from Foundation courses for those with little or no previous experience, to highly advanced programmes for control room supervisors, security managers and company executives.

In total, Tavcom currently offer over 70 regularly scheduled training courses, ranging from one day seminars, to five day fully residential programmes.

The technical and non-technical courses cover a wide range of security systems topics, including System Planning, Project Management, Structured Cabling,

PAT Testing, Control Room Operations, Disaster Recovery, Counter Eavesdropping and Security Management.

Tavcom’s workshops provide unrivalled ‘hands-on’ facilities which offer immediate opportunities to put theory into practice – a Tavcom tradition of blended learning that has refined the knowledge and skills of thousands of delegates for over 20 years.

The Tavcom Academy specialises in the development, promotion and provision of accredited online ‘e-learning’ courses to students from around the globe. A subscriptionbased arm of the Academy offers online education, technical tips, industry news and generous discounts on Tavcom products and services to its members.

The Tavcom online e-learning courses are intended to offer a practical alternative to traditional classroom style courses, allowing students to acquire new skill sets without having to come ‘off the road’.

The Tavcom Military Resettlement division is focussed on facilitating the transition of ex-forces personnel into

the security sector. Many of those leaving the forces have the core transferrable skills and attributes necessary for a post military career within the security sector.

Acknowledging that those leaving the forces already have access to resettlement support, the Tavcom Resettlement package builds on what is already available, by tailoring and directing it to the security arena.

The core of the package is the provision of Tavcom BTEC accredited training, career progression advice and the direction of applicants to sources of industry information.

Tavcom’s Technical Services division offers a wide diversity of expertise, including product and system testing, security audits, risk assessment and training needs analysis. We have assembled ‘under one roof’ a highly qualified team of experts who can collectively provide professional advice on all aspects of electronic security. All members of this hand-picked team are recognised as leading authorities in their respective fields, with unrivalled technical knowledge underpinned by a thorough understanding of ‘real world’ security issues.

For almost 30 years Linx has been providing high level security and risk management consulting to a hugely diverse range of clients across many different business sectors. Linx’s recent acquisitions of Tavcom, Perpetuity Training (May 2012) and ARC Training International (August 2013) means that the Linx Group of companies is now able to offer unrivalled specialist security systems and security management training programmes to its rapidly expanding international client base.

Academic managers want to deal with access control manufacturers who offer solutions including enterprise-wide networked software, readers, door stations, controllers, cards, readers and

fobs that can cater for the widest range of users. The academic sector requires processing of extensive enrolment details and large-scale card generation, with users often expecting to be able to populate the access control database from thirdparty products.

Education clients in the public sector also appreciate the economies that come from the fact that ACT’s systems use an open standards platform which allows retention of legacy reader technology. Audio door entry control is used by many ACT customers in

the education sector who need to validate site entry by contractors.

Pupils’ cards can also be used for cashless vending which is a major benefit.

Many clients in the academic sector are longstanding users who have migrated to successive product suites as the ACT offering has evolved. One such customer is The Sheffield College in South Yorkshire, a multi-site campus with a student population of 23,000 spread over three locations with courses including entry level and higher academic education as well

“The solution was a collaborative process between all the stakeholders and has resulted in accuracy and traceability.” as vocational study. The college has now begun using the ACTpro eLock which can be operated with up to 32 locks per eLock hub and features both visual and audible alerts.

The original and core products used in Sheffield have been ACTpro controllers which have been installed on more than 150 doors, primarily in building entrances. ACT have not only shown their opensystem credentials by integrating with third-party readers from CardPOS Europe, but have also customised their management software to function alongside the college’s enrolment system.

ACT’s developers created a synchronisation tool which has facilitated an XML drop by which the college enrolment database populates the ACT database without any re-keying or risk of duplication.

Even a conservative estimate indicates there has been a saving of 23 man days per year which would otherwise have been spent on data entry.

Installation of the ACT door controllers is ongoing, and the units have been used extensively at a new location within the campus, the £60m Sheffield City College supported by funding from the Learning and Skills Council (now the Skills Funding Agency.)

The building, which features a striking seven-storey tower and glass atrium, has more than 50 teaching rooms including training hair and beauty salons, science laboratories, a catering wing and restaurant for the public, student refectory and a learning resource centre. It has been praised for green energy usage based on solar panels and wind turbines.

Mark Jackson of integrators CCS Ltd said: “Educational establishments frequently have a large flow of enrolment details in a short period, with even students who are simply progressing to the next year needing to be reregistered. ACT proved responsive with business rules, bespoke data

mapping and programming that was tailored for this application.

The solution was a collaborative process between all the stakeholders and has resulted in accuracy and traceability.”

Students with impaired mobility are able to activate the door controllers through proximity scanning of their cards at turnstiles. The project is IPaddressable throughout and CCS also installed networked CCTV, the cameras being a mixture of static and dome units from Dedicated Micros and eneo. There is a dedicated 24-hour CCTV monitoring centre at Hillsborough College to the north of Sheffield city centre.

Like all crucial site areas, this is fitted with the ACT door controllers.

The ACTpro two-door controllers used here are expandable to 16 doors using ACTpro door stations.

The units are networkable to 2,000 doors and can be used with ‘Clock & Data’ and ‘Weigand’ format readers. g

“The fact that we have been using ACT on successive modular installations over three years at the school is testimony to the build quality and reliability of the products.”

An ACT installation being finished as In Security went to press is Ysgol Dyffryn Aman, a mixed comprehensive school in Wales.

Ysgol Dyffryn Aman has 1,600 pupils studying across a large campus with a sixth form of over 300. Staff and students are benefiting from protection offered by ACTpro 4000 door controllers and ACTpro door stations on interior and perimeter doors. The ACT hardware uses low bandwidth and auto-discovery for easy installation and maintenance combined with advanced features such as timed anti-passback and counting areas.

Staff at the school activate doors using 13.56MHz MIFARE fobs and ACTpro MIFARE 1030PM readers which, unlike many competitor brands, can read data from any of the 16 sectors on a card so offering the extra security levels required for education applications. Typical usage at the school is for specialised teaching areas such as science laboratories and infrastructure including plant rooms.

The system is configured with time zones so that doors to common areas open automatically during breaks and lunchtime and subsequently relock. The access

34 I June 2015 I IN Security

control system at the school has been extended to secure a link with an adjacent public leisure complex featuring two swimming pools, an athletics track, Astroturf pitches and a gymnasium. School administrators are able to use ACT management software to track door usage and analyse trends in movement around the site as well as designing and printing identity cards.

Dyfed Alarms has secured 50 doors with ACT units while the school conducts phased refurbishments block by block.

Ysgol Dyffryn Aman is a coeducational non-denominational school located in Ammanford at the foot of the Black Mountains with a large catchment area covering both rural and urban neighbourhoods in Carmarthenshire. In its most recent Estyn inspection (equivalent to Ofsted in England) the school was adjudged ‘good.’

Des John, Business Development Manager at Dyfed Alarms, said: “The fact that we have been using ACT on successive modular installations over three years at the school is testimony to the build quality and reliability of the products. For this kind of

educational installation, ACT is the only company we specify. The technical support is first-rate and in the rare event of a problem, engineers always come to the site promptly. We are currently using ACT equipment at another school in Whitland, also in the county of Carmarthenshire.”

Classes at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman reflect and enhance the bi-lingual nature of the area. Many students represent their county and country at sports. In its current and former identities, the school has produced impressive alumni. Past pupils include the prominent zoologist Prof Donald Arthur, musician John Cale (founder member of The Velvet Underground), international soccer player Dai Davies and international rugby players Don Tarr and Shane Williams.

From a Carmarthen base, Dyfed Alarms covers West, Mid and South Wales. Founded in 1977 and an independent company, it is one of the largest suppliers and installers of access control, CCTV, and fire detection equipment in Wales.

Dyfed Alarms’ operations include education, healthcare, office space and retail. The company is NSIapproved and a member of NICEIC. n

W

ithin the security services sector there is an ever growing catalogue of British Standards Codes of Practice documents, setting best practice for the industry. The established standards of BS 7499 Static Site Guarding and BS 7960 Door Supervision along with BS 7858 have been joined in recent years by standards such as BS 7984 1&2 Keyholding and response Services, BS 7958 CCTV management and operation, BS 8507 1&2 Close Protection, BS 8517 1&2 Security

36 I June 2015 I IN Security

Dogs, BS 8484 Lone Workers, BS 8549 Security Consultants, BS 8523 Wardens Scheme and BS 8406 Events and crowd safety.

One of the newest standards is BS 102000 the British Standard for Investigative Services, which is the next sector likely to be licensed by the Security Industry Authority.

The business case was written by Lynn Watts-Plumpkin, who is now the Director and General Manager of IQ Verify Ltd and Chair of the lead committee GW/3 responsible for drafting and updating the standards listed above.

The business case was presented to the British Standards Institute (BSI) and included a justification for the requirement of the standard.

The BSI accepted the business case proposal and a drafting panel was formed.

For the standards there is a core of people involved, this includes a representative from the insurance industry, Associations and Institutes including the International Professional Security Association (IPSA), the British Security Industry Association (BSIA), the Security Institute (SyI), the Association of

“Once the standard has been drafted it is sent out for public comment, so that everyone has an opportunity to input into the standard“ Security Consultants (ASC) and the National Association of Security Dog Users (NASDU), the Security Industry Authority and the three Certification Bodies that specialise in the security industry NSI, SSAIB and IQ Verify. BSI act as the secretary to the committee drafting panel and the drafting panels for all GW/3 committees are normally held at BSI in Chiswick.

In addition for each standard, sector specific associations are invited, e.g. for BS 102000 it was ABI, IPI and WAPI. Also companies and individuals that work in the sector that the British Standard covers are invited, to ensure that the standard is written by the sector industry for the sector industry and reflects current best practice.

Once the standard has been drafted it is sent out for public comment, so that everyone has an opportunity to input into the standard. The comment period varies, but it is usually two to three months. Once the public comment

phase has ended BSI collates the comments and a further meeting is held to discuss them.

Some of the comments are editorial and others are general, those that do wish to make editorial changes are asked to supply alternative text to replace the text they are not happy with. Each one is discussed by the drafting panel and a decision is made as to whether the change is acceptable or not.

Once the changes have been made the draft moves to the final comment stage and the committee meets for a final time to go through the standard word for word to ensure that it meets the requirements. Then it is published

by BSI and available for purchase.

The security services standards are auditable and are audited by several UKAS accredited Certification bodies. To ensure that the Certification Body auditors are competent they receive additional sector specific training. For example when BS8517 the security

dogs standard was published, auditor training was conducted by NASDU at the Surrey Police dog unit headquarters. For BS 102000 Investigative Services, the auditors received training from Tony Imossi, President of the ABI. In addition to this auditors should have sector knowledge. For example Lynn Watts-Plumpkin, the Chair of GW/3, started working as a Security Operator for J Sainsbury plc in 1982. Throughout Lynn’s long career she has worked in several areas of the security industry including as an operations manager for two contract guarding companies and Lynn has worked as a private investigator, conducting investigations herself and running a team of investigators in the Reading and Swindon area. Lynn is a Fellow of the Security Institute and is a member of the IPSA International Council.

Other industry representatives also take on responsibilities in the drafting and updating of standards. g

“Normally the British Standards are reviewed every five years. Although the standard for Security Consultants BS 8549 has not been reviewed since 2006, therefore the Chair of GW/3 Lynn Watts-Plumpkin has requested that this standard should be put forward for a review�

Justin Bentley, Chief Exec of IPSA, is about to chair the British Standard review panel for the BS 7960 Door Supervision Standard and Dave Wilkinson, Director of Technical Services at BSIA, will be taking responsibility for the review of BS 7984-1 Keyholding and response services. The associations take responsibility for keeping their members informed of progress throughout the process, so those companies or individuals that are affected by the standard are aware of the changes and are able to comment in they wish.

Normally the British Standards are reviewed every five years.

Although the standard for Security Consultants BS 8549 has not been reviewed since 2006, therefore the Chair of GW/3 Lynn Watts-Plumpkin has requested that this standard should be put forward for a review.

There are also International Standards, the most common one used in the security industry is ISO 9001 the standard for quality management systems. This standard, as well as ISO 14001 the environmental standard have been through the updating process and are due for release, with OHSAS

38 I June 2015 I IN Security

18001, which has been changed to ISO 45001 following closely behind and due for release in autumn 2016.

The process for international standards is obviously different, as the rest of the world needs to be considered. Often the main issue is terminology. Although we are fortunate in that the international standards are written in English, there are still many language differences often subtle but can change the whole meaning of the standard in that country. Therefore there has to be a terminology standard which is agreed with every country involved, so that a set of agreed terms and definitions can be established.

Any country can write a standard and ask for it to be turned into an International Standard (ISO). Once a business case for an ISO has been raised, it is usually sent out to each participating country to see if they would be interested in adopting it. Where an ISO standard is considered by BSI, a UK mirror committee is identified and it is this committees responsibility to input into the writing of the ISO and to vote as to whether this should be accepted into the UK or not.

An alternative method is for a country to draft a standard then send it out as a DIS (Draft International Standard) to each participating country. Once comments have been received the standards passes to FDIS (Final Draft International Standard).

Similar to the British Standards method, the panel reconvenes and the comments are discussed and agreed. As it is an International Standard telephone conferences are often held, to reduce the requirement to attend the meetings face to face.

Once agreed the standard is published. ISO standards have, on average an eight year review period.

If you are a member of the International Professional Security Association, you can contact us directly on post@ipsa.org.uk with any questions about British Standards or if you are interested in participating, alternatively if you are a member of a different participating trade association you can contact them or BSI directly.

Picking the best The BSIA looks at choosing a security training provider

I

n March 2015, an undercover BBC investigation uncovered evidence of security licences being fraudulently obtained in the UK. One month on, Matthew Grimley of the British Security Industry Association – the trade body representing the UK’s private security industry– discusses the importance of choosing a reputable training provider.

The BBC investigation discovered

40 I June 2015 I IN Security

that two colleges in London were willing to help students cheat security exams, either by giving students the answers, sitting the exam on their behalf or fast-tracking them through the required 140 hours of training. Secretly filmed footage showed the college director offering to fast track a student to a close protection qualification without any training for a fee of £1,200. Worryingly, students who

have fraudulently obtained Security Industry Authority (SIA) licences could now be working in front-line security roles.

In such a fast growing industry, with a huge variety of career opportunities, there is an increasing demand for security qualifications which can lead to an SIA licence. The BBC investigation highlighted the importance of choosing a reputable training provider to ensure the

“A good training provider will be an accredited training centre audited by a UKAS or Ofqual awarding body and have a variety of different courses for different disciplines which are offered at a range of level” legitimacy of any qualifications awarded. Thousands of individuals may be affected by fraudulently obtained licences and could be working in the industry illegally, which carries a maximum six-month prison sentence.

The SIA – the regulatory body for the private security industry – states that it is essential that individuals working in the private security industry undergo a structured training programme that results in a recognised qualification. Without a recognised qualification, an SIA licence would not be issued and therefore the applicant could not legally undertake licensable activities.

What to look for in a Security Training Provider It is vitally important that security qualifications are obtained through a reputable training provider to

ensure that they are awarded legitimately. There are additional business benefits in procuring the services of a good training provider, such as ensuring that staff are fully prepared for the challenges they may face in their role, and to give them the necessary skills and expertise to deliver the best possible customer service.

A good training provider will be an accredited training centre audited by a UKAS or Ofqual awarding body and have a variety of different courses for different disciplines which are offered at a range of levels. Training should be delivered by professionally qualified tutors – that is, they have a qualification in education and training as approved by the SIA – with ‘real world’ experience. Reputable training providers will also have professional learning environments with modern teaching aids and a comprehensive suite of industry

specific equipment on which to learn.

Endorsement from a leading industry body such as the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) also shows a provider’s commitment to delivering a professional, quality service. Leading industry bodies will require members to meet strict quality criteria before they are formally recognised as members. Providers endorsed by industry bodies will usually have had to provide evidence of a quality management system such as ISO 9001:2008 and will have been vetted to ensure that they are financially sound, have adequate insurance, are soundly managed and conduct their business in a professional manner. Therefore, a provider who has recognised endorsements is best placed to ensure that security personnel are trained to the highest quality standards throughout each stage of their career. g

IN Security I June 2015 I 41

“The section is committed to sustaining high standards in performance and training in the security industry”

The BSIA has had a dedicated section of membership for companies specialising in the provision of security training since 2012. The Training Providers Section is committed to working with fellow training providers, colleges, security companies, trade organisations and the Government to drive standards, increase professionalism and ultimately improve the standard of training offered in the security industry. As such, the section was compelled to speak out against training malpractice in light of the BBC’s investigation and totally endorsed the stance adopted by the BBC. The section is committed to sustaining high standards in performance and training in the security industry and has developed its own rigorous code of conduct. The section has also developed guides to help educate end users about the procurement of security training services and how to identify a reputable training provider.

Members of the BSIA’s Training Providers Section have expertise across all areas of the industry and can provide courses in subjects such as CCTV, door supervision, alarms and access control, control room operations and leadership and management. Their specialist knowledge enables them to deliver training in a wide range of challenging situations and trainers often possess higher levels of teaching qualification than their non-member counterparts.

42 I June 2015 I IN Security

Sourcing a reputable training provider Choosing a training provider with the appropriate qualifications and experience to deliver high quality training courses can be challenging for any company looking to improve its employees’ knowledge and skills.

Doing some basic research into any prospective provider can reassure end users that they are of good repute. A good training provider will possess all of the qualities discussed in this article and you can normally find evidence of this on the company’s website in the first instance. If you have any doubts, ask to visit the company’s premises

to have a look around - the best training providers will proudly show off their facilities.

If you have any concerns about a training provider – or suspect that any training provider is acting illegally – contact the Security Industry Authority through their website or by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Reputable training providers can be sourced through an industry body such as the BSIA, to find out more information about the BSIA’s Training Providers Section or to find your nearest reputable training provider, visit: www.bsia.co.uk/ sections/training-providers.aspx n

Safe, Simple, Secure.

The KeySure case is a pilfer proof, tamper evident keyless lockbox. This is the only non-electronic security device that will control and audit the use of a key, password or any other contents. Once an item is secured inside the KeySure it must be physically broken to access what’s inside. This provides physical accountability of the use of the protected item. This simple yet effective device is perfect for:

• Property Managers • Office Buildings • Personal Use

• IT Professionals • Security Departments

The most powerful benefit of the KeySure device is that it can be used to prevent those responsible for your keys, flash drives or other personal information from unauthorized access by providing physical accountability. However, they are still able to access the contents in an emergency. This is possible because the KeySure case must be broken to retrieve its contents. This one-time-use key access box ensures that it:

• Protects Both Parties from Surreptitious Use • Provides Physical Accountability • Prevents False Accusations • Eliminates Liability The KeySure case is Safe, Simple and Secure. No other key control product on the market is as easy to use or inexpensive because the KeySure device is the only non-electronic control key system available. This makes it an efficient and effective means of key security.
