‘Keeping an eye’ on biometric security Alongside incredible advancements in medicine and science, innovative methods of accessing systems using the human body have led to an explosion in biometric security solutions. Here James Kelly, Chief Executive of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) discusses the current market and future trends worth keeping an eye on.

What is biometric security?

Advances in technology

All biometric systems essentially work by unobtrusively matching patterns of live individuals’ data in real time against enrolled records. Data is initially read with an ‘enrolment’ reader and the data is then ‘encoded’ into a template which is usually stored in an access control database or on a smartcard for later use. The encoding process ensures that the data cannot be reproduced from the template, only compared against a recent read sample for a pass or fail result. Biometrics have been recorded and used within society since the late 19th century, with fingerprint identification being utilised by police agencies around the world to identify both suspected criminals as well as the victims of crime. Since then, approaches have extended to vein, iris, face, hand geometry and more recently the heart.

In an era where personal information leaks from major organisations like the recent Equifax debacle appear to be increasingly common, security has had to evolve far beyond traditional physical lock and key measures. Scientists and engineers have come together to develop innovative ways of using unique identifiers within the human body to create access control systems that are unhackable to even the most tech-savvy criminals. Just this year (2017), researchers at the University of Buffalo, New York announced that they have developed a security method that uses the measurements of an individual’s heart to identify and authenticate a user. The futuristic sounding method makes use of lowlevel Doppler radar to determine the heart’s dimensions. With the initial scan taking roughly eight seconds,

the system can then continuously monitor the heart of the user to make sure another user hasn’t stepped in to work on the machine. Beyond making it much easier to log in and log out, the method makes it incredibly difficult (if not impossible) for criminals or imposters to infiltrate a system as every user’s heart dimensions are unique. Fingerprint technology has also developed in recent years in order to thwart criminals from counteracting their security by taking impressions of fingerprints. With fake finger tips capable of mimicking human skin available to criminals, advances in optical sensor implementation has made it possible for fingerprint readers to look beyond the surface of the print to the subcutaneous layers, such as the capillaries under the skin, which would not be as easily replicated. Iris recognition is another area g

of biometrics that has raised the bar for accuracy. In comparison to fingerprint-based systems, when they were first introduced, iris systems were producing hundreds, or potentially thousands, fewer false acceptances. These systems take an image of a person’s iris and apply pattern recognition algorithms, as such, the next time the iris is presented to the recognition reader, a comparison can be made with the stored pattern. Iris systems tend to be seen most regularly in airports; but with the introduction of biometric passports they are becoming less common. However, due to their abilities, they do still have a place in specialist high security applications. Like Iris systems, facial recognition technology has been widely available in recent years. Tech giant Apple have made use of the technology in the creation of its new ‘Face ID’ feature available on the new iPhone X which is due to be released in November 2017. According to Apple, the new system is 20 times more secure than Touch ID, the fingerprint based system previously used. With Face ID, Apple has implemented a secondary system that exclusively looks out for attempts to fool the technology. Both the authentication and spoofing defence are based on machine learning, but while the former is trained to identify individuals from their faces, the latter is used to look for telltale signs of cheating. According to Apple, “An additional neural

4 I November 2017 I IN Security

network that’s trained to spot and resist spoofing defends against attempts to unlock your phone with photos or masks,” the company says. If a completely perfect mask is made, which fools the identification neural network, the defensive system will still notice – as a human would. Apple’s Face ID is not without restrictions however, the company has reported that it is not suitable for users under the age of 13 or those with identical twins .

Advantages of biometrics Biometric technology can be extremely advantageous in terms of playing a fundamental role in an extensive security strategy. In regards to access control, the technology is attractive to users for a number of reasons, primarily because information cannot be passed along to another person in the same way an access card or PIN can be. This can also be useful in terms of human resource management, reducing identification fraud amongst employees during the clocking in process. The technology can also help to eliminate security threats that may arise when cards or PINs are lost or borrowed, not to mention the cost savings made by removing the management of lost, stolen or forgotten access cards. This is not to say that biometric technology does not have its disadvantages, with readers sometimes taking slightly longer to identify users than card-based systems, particularly as users normally have to stop and properly

identify themselves to the biometric readers for verification. Not everyone can use biometric systems as well; they rarely suit an external or exposed location and in extreme cases, finger print readers can fail to identify users with damaged, dirty or worn fingerprints. Systems should also be designed carefully, considering how many users need to enter or exit an area at any time. Additionally, it is important to note that the correct management of biometric systems is critical in ensuring that any data protection concerns are alleviated.

Sourcing a supplier As technology continues to advance, it is crucial that the importance of quality is not forgotten within the fast-paced environment. Members of the BSIA are heavily involved in driving standards and all comply with the relevant British and European standards for their product, ensuring that they will offer a reputable service.

Integration of Video Content Analysis (VCA) in 5000 series Dallmeier cameras enables intelligent incident search In the age of Artificial Intelligence, IP cameras are evolving from purely imaging appliances into smart modules in the context of a video surveillance system. Dallmeier is following these developments by integrating VCA technology, also known as Video Content Analysis, in the 5000 series of Dallmeier cameras, thereby enabling intelligent incident search in the recorded video streams. In an age when artificial intelligence in technological products is becoming increasingly dominant, video surveillance cameras are also being equipped with an artificial intelligence level: Video Content Analysis. Video Content Analysis is the automated analysis of observation situations using video data to detect and classify objects and incidents that are relevant for intervention, and also offers the user an intelligent filter function for large volumes of recorded material. All 5000 series Dallmeier cameras are equipped with VCA technology as standard, to allow intelligent incident searching in the recorded video stream. Filtering of the observation situation by the camera with the aid of the preset classifications enables realtime video analysis, with which incorrectly detected incidents can be minimised in advance and are not even transmitted for storage, while at the same time incidents that are relevant can be stored on the server together with the associated metadata. This functionality has the advantage in the next step that the user no longer has

to spend long periods laboriously viewing huge volumes of archived material, but instead can find the incidents of interest more selectively and efficiently with the aid of the stored metadata. Valuable time is saved, and pertinent suspicious instances can be verified quickly and simply. Unlike motion detection (simple detection of movement), with which this analysis is carried out on the appliance only after the fact, consuming much time on the part of the user, VCA performs the analysis beforehand and in real time, and classifies the objects it detects. The results of the analysis are transmitted continuously to the recording system together with the corresponding metadata as an incident report. With VCA technology, five different analysis classifications can be assigned depending on the field of application: Intrusion Detection, Line-Crossing Detection, Object Classification, Face Detection and Tamper Detection. Besides the basic data, such as date, time and location of the incidents, further filters can be used so that a broad spectrum of information such as object class or duration of the incident can also be stored, and this in turn can contribute to a precisely targeted, efficient search and evaluation, e.g., distinguishing between and filtering object classes (such as vehicles or people). www.dallmeier.com n

Paxton supports BBC DIY SOS: The Million Pound Build for Children in Need

Paxton, the UK market leader of electronic IP access control and door entry solutions, recently supported the BBC’s DIY SOS team in their latest project to create a new, purpose-built support centre, with short term accommodation for young people living in and leaving the care system. Nick Knowles and the DIY SOS team headed to Swansea to support The Roots Foundation Wales, a charity part-funded by BBC Children in Need which offers wide-ranging support to children and young people. Despite storms and a tight 11-day build schedule, the team, with the help of hundreds of volunteers built the new 320 square metre facilities from the ground up. As part of the project, Paxton donated a range of their products including Net2, their flagship networked access control solution, Net2 Entry an IP based door entry solution, Net2 PaxLock, a wireless access control system in a door handle, and a range of their readers and keypads to control access in and around the new building. In total eight doors were secured in the installation by Secured Alarm Systems Ltd, a Swansea based company specialising in electronic security, who worked on site to assist with the project.

12 I November 2017 I IN Security

Richard Green, Sales Engineer at Secured Alarm Systems, involved in the installation says: “We saw the project advertised locally and after looking into the work that The Roots Foundation offers to people within care, we were more than happy to offer our services to support this challenging project. We spoke with the site designers, who wanted to offer a simple and straightforward system to allow visitors, staff and residents access to the main gate.” Richard continues: “We recommended installing Paxton because we felt it could offer them greater convenience by installing Net2 Entry, on the main gate, with the added flexibility of integrating with the rest of the Net2 system across the whole building. This has meant that The Roots Foundation can now provide residents with keyfobs, allowing them the independence to access the areas they have the correct permissions to. Paxton have supported us during the install and have been very accommodating. We are still actively assisting The Roots Foundation and helping them wherever we can.” Paxton was delighted to support the project, and for those that missed the episode when it aired on 15th November, you can watch it now on the BBC iPlayer: http://paxton.info/3014 n

Optex heads to intersec with multi layered protection approach (Intersec 21st to 23rd January, stand No: SA-A34) OPTEX, the leading sensor manufacturer, will be demonstrating its multi-layered approach to protecting critical infrastructure – from the initial outer perimeter to the inner areas including detection of unauthorised access. “In the Middle East region”, says Jacques Vaarre, Managing Director for OPTEX EMEA (Europe Middle East and Africa), “we are focusing on the high security element of our intrusion detection portfolio that protects critical infrastructure as there is the requirement to increase security provisions for oil and gas, utilities, and government buildings. “We are working very closely with our sister company FiberSensys – co-exhibiting at Intersec – and a number of Video Management Software (VMS) and PSIM partners to provide customers with high-end, multi-layered perimeter and intrusion detection solutions so any intruder can be apprehended immediately. The PSIM provider, ela-soft, will be showcasing its overall security system using the Gemos platform that can handle over 500,000 data points in one command and control platform, on our stand. “The fact that our fibre optic sensors, laser sensors, infrared beam towers and external PIRS are available as IP/PoE and integrated with all the major VMS platforms has proved a significant advantage in making security

systems easier to install and more reliable in operation,” Jacques adds. Besides the outdoor intrusion detection systems showcased on its stand, OPTEX will also focus on its tailgating prevention system – the OPTEX Accurance 3D – that detects people gaining unauthorised access into restricted areas. Tailgating is a growing issue for companies, leading to the theft of assets and in a worse-case scenario, the threat to employee safety. Intrusion can occur during normal office hours when an unauthorised person attempts to follow an authorised employee into a controlled area. In the case of interlocks, the OPTEX Accurance 3D system prevents tailgating by detecting if more than one person is attempting to gain access at the same time, and stops the second door from opening. This will be demonstrated live on the stand. “Intersec keeps expanding every year and has become an institution for the Middle East, as well as attracting visitors from other regions such as Asia and Africa, which is why we have a major presence at the show from the wider EMEA team, including our product, technical, alliance, sales and marketing managers so visitors can take the opportunity to discuss any potential projects and new ideas with us,” Jacques concludes For more information visit www.optex-europe.com n

Urmet returns to the Olympic Village Urmet has secured the second phase of its landmark door entry project at the former Olympic Village in Stratford, East London. The latest work is in addition to the installation of the company’s innovative IP-based door entry solution at buildings used to accommodate athletes during the London 2012 Olympic Games. Main contractors, Mace, have used Urmet’s IPervoice suite on two residential tower blocks of 26 and 30 storeys respectively, set within communal squares and courtyards near the River Lea and surrounded by amenities. Now known as N08 – East Village, the area is already home to 6,000 people and the new towers will add a further 481 flats to the area. Tough, easy to use and versatile Urmet’s Elekta steel IP PoE entry panels have been fitted to nine entrance points at the towers. Elekta Steel is a vandal-resistant version of Elekta that reduces the potential for vandalism with its one-piece steel body and flush moving buttons. The LCD colour display ensures easy use for callers and can also show messages and even a digital route map to a chosen location anywhere on the site. Residents at East Village screen their visitors and communicate with them using Urmet’s Aiko hands-free video internal monitors. These monitors are 4.3-inch TFT units, with a soft-touch control panel offering video messaging and an open-door indicator. They can be recess-installed, wallmounted or used from a desktop stand.

East Village also benefits from Urmet’s switchboard software, which enables concierges to manage calls, receive and create alarms, and send messages. As the £180 million site progresses, joint developers Delancey and Qatari Diar will be able to move and expand the switchboard software from one building to another. This flexibility delivers considerable cost-savings whenever new estate management offices are added.

‘Rising factory’ approach Mark Hagger, Urmet’s Sales & Marketing Director, said: “Mace have built this phase of East Village using pre-cast concrete components and the ‘rising factory’ approach whereby a temporary waterproof environment shelters each floor during fit-out and is then lifted three metres for the next floor.” He continued: “Urmet supplied the IPervoice systems, including decoders and switching, on a preconfigured ‘plug-and-play’ basis. This was ideally suited to the modular technique being used by Mace.” The architect for this phase of East Village is Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands and construction will be completed in 2018. The development includes cafés, a pub, gymnasium and meeting places for tenants. Forty per cent of the homes in East Village are available at affordable rents. Eventually, the whole Olympic Parkland will become five new neighbourhoods housing 8,000 people. For more please visit www.urmet.co.uk n

High standards UL 2900-2-3 Helps Mitigate IoT Cybersecurity Risk


Louis Chavez; Principal Designated Engineer with UL’s Life Safety and Security business, Louis is recognized by UL as a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff and is a member of UL’s William Henry Merrill Society Smart electric meters, commercial security cameras, process sensors and ATMs make up a fraction of the devices connected to the internet of things (IoT). According to Gartner, Inc., a business research and advisory organization, 8.4 billion connected “things” will be in use in 2017 with an expected 20.4 billion by 2020. The exponential growth of IoT devices, such as smart TVs, digital cable boxes, smart meters and security cameras, offers business to business (B2B) and business to consumer (B2C) users numerous opportunities such as responsive services, enhanced experiences and convenience, to name a few. For electronic physical security systems, the IoT allows organizations to remotely monitor, identify and respond to safety and security issues. Digital keys can

be quickly changed, for example, to limit or allow access, adding an extra layer of security to the system. But with interconnected technology comes cyberthreats in the form of phishing, worms, bots, ransomware and malware techniques used by attackers who manipulate vulnerabilities within network administration software and operating systems.

What’s at stake? Symantec, in its 2017 Internet Security Threat Report, offers these sobering statistics from its analysis of 2016 data: • 1 in 2,596 emails contained phishing attempts • 357 million new malware variants introduced • 98.6 million bots • 229 thousand web attacks blocked, on average, per day

IoT devices were attacked on average once every two minutes To put the numbers into context, an October 2016 attack made headlines when hacked cameras led to a massive distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack against websites like Amazon, Twitter, Spotify, Yelp, Netflix and Reddit. An army of botnets, known as Mirai, wreaked havoc by either knocking the targeted websites offline or severely decreasing a site’s operational bandwidth. News articles reported that the traffic was drawn from multiple types of IoT devices, including unsecured routers, DVRs and cameras. Connected devices like these are used as a backdoor to hack into legitimate networks, acting as a ready platform for individuals, groups and even states, to launch large-scale, botnet/DDOS incidents. g

Security by design

The solution

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) warned IoT manufacturers in early 2017 to address cybersecurity risks soon or face more government oversight and mandatory regulations. At the center of the issue are DDOS attacks by botnets such as Mirai and a growing scrutiny of unsecured channels that can be easily intercepted by hackers. Many manufacturers produce devices that are simple to “break” as shown by New York State’s investigation into the QuickLock Padlock and QuickLock Doorlock sold by SafeTech in Utah. The FCC proposed in its Cybersecurity Risk Reduction White Paper (January 18, 2017) the implementation of intelligent cyber design practices, such as authentication safeguards and adherence to best practices, prior to a product’s release. The FCC prefers to utilize collaborative private/public partnerships, but adds that “the Commission has the tools available to make adjustments to restore the balance if necessary.”

To help improve the security of critically connected electronic physical security systems, UL 2900-2-3, the newest addition to the UL 2900 series of cybersecurity standards, developed with industry input, provides a foundational set of cybersecurity performance and evaluation requirements that manufacturers of network connectable products can use to establish a baseline of cyberprotection against known vulnerabilities, weaknesses and malware. UL’s Cybersecurity Assurance Program (UL CAP) can now test and evaluate a product’s software for the presence of malware, vulnerabilities and weaknesses, and certify the product’s software architecture and design to the specifications enumerated in the Outline of Investigation. Electronic physical security infrastructures include emergency communications systems, fire alarm systems, alarm receiving systems, automated teller machine systems, access control systems, surveillance cameras, DVRs, NVRs and the like. For UL 2900-2-3, a three-tiered security approach was developed with an increasing level of security for each tier. Tests include fuzz testing, known vulnerability detection, code and binary analysis, risk control analysis, structured penetration testing and security risk controls assessment.

Level 1 (L1) includes the foundational cybersecurity testing requirements for security risk assessment of software in products covered in the Outline of Investigation. L1 is recommended as a minimum level of assessment. Level 2 (L2) includes all of the L1 assessment and testing requirements and additional supplemental requirements for security risk assessment of software in products. L2 also provides an assessment of the security capabilities of a product with knowledge of internal security controls of the product. Level 3 (L3) includes L1 and L2 assessment and testing requirements and additional supplemental requirements of the vendor process and management. It also provides an assessment of security capabilities of a product with knowledge of internal security controls of the product and knowledge of the business practices of the vendor to support the lifecycle of the product. In today’s connected world, the variety of devices available offer numerous points of entry for cyberattacks. Now is the time for software developers and manufacturers to understand a system’s vulnerabilities and to harden their product against attack. UL 2900-2-3 can help ensure the performance and reliability of a product’s software to decrease downtime and mitigate cyber risks.

Higher access Make your university into a welcoming and secure environment — and keep costs down — with a wireless access system With an ever-shifting staff and student population, and lots of daily visitors, universities need a flexible access system like Aperio®, as Thomas Schulz explains

24 I November 2017 I IN Security


Aperio® locks will save your university money, while boosting site security

I

n an ideal world, university estates managers could monitor and control access throughout their premises. They would know who came and went from computer rooms and classrooms. Conference rooms, teaching rooms and staff areas would be open to only the right, authorised site users: lecturers during the day, cleaning and other contractors after hours. The main entrance and even server racks would all be connected to one system, and controllable from a single point. Everyone knows mechanical security can’t do all this — at least, not without placing a huge admin burden on facility and security managers. Electronic access control can, but wired locks are prohibitively expensive to distribute so widely through a site. New wireless access control technologies are the answer. They make it all possible, as universities across Europe have discovered by choosing Aperio®. Replacing mechanical locks

with Aperio® battery-powered devices ensures all your locks integrate seamlessly with access control and security systems from over 100 different manufacturers. Aperio® locks are wireless, easy to install and manage, and costeffective to run. They are scalable and easily upgradable. Crucially, they add all the functionality university facilities managers need to stop unauthorised access — cost-efficiently and without an exponential increase in key management hassle. The ROI is easy to see.

Trusted track record “With Aperio®, we were able to quickly and easily install a complete online system,” says Magnus Svensson, Infrastructure Manager at Lund University in Sweden. The security upgrade for Lund staff and students was practically invisible. Aperio® locks work with the university’s existing MIFARE® smart cards, so there was no need for 42,000 students and around

7,500 staff to return their smartcards for reprogramming, or even to visit update readers to reactivate their permissions. Every door or card is still managed centrally from a single administration interface. “Aperio® has proven to be very cost effective and is really appreciated by staff and students,” adds Magnus Svensson. At Hamburg’s HafenCity University (HCU) a landmark new building accommodates around 2,400 students and 460 staff. It incorporates flexible-use spaces such as a media centre and library, seminar rooms, laboratories, and offices for research groups. Its SIEMENS access control system has been extended seamlessly with Aperio® wireless locks. The flexibility of Aperio® means HCU’s facility managers now have greater control. They can respond to organizational changes in real time, only needing to monitor one unified security system. And they no longer deal with the daily hassle of physical key management. g

IN Security I November 2017 I 25


Aperio® = control, compatibility + cost-effectiveness Key management weighs facilities staff down with a huge, unnecessary burden. Plus physical keys are easily lost. Among a student body, lost keys plus the time and expense of replacing them are an everyday hazard. Aperio® wireless access control eliminates the security risk posed by a lost key. Rather than the expensive and laborious task of replacing a lock, administrators simply de-authorise a lost credential to reinstate the campus’ secure status. It takes a few seconds of system admin to issue or revoke any smartcard’s access rights. Reprogram an RFID card and you have a new key — instantly. Cut the number of physical keys and you save time and money on key management. “We have been able to reduce the time we spend on user management and system administration radically,” confirms Lund’s Magnus Svensson. Aperio® wireless locks work as a new installation, or they can extend existing access control capability without the need for a total system overhaul. At an existing installation, site users will open both wired doors and new Aperio® wireless doors with the same smart-card, employing standard high- and lowfrequency RFID technologies like iCLASS®, MIFARE® DESFire and LEGIC. Laundry rooms, photocopy services, library loans... all can be

26 I November 2017 I IN Security

incorporated on the same smartcard that opens an Aperio®-secured door. Installing wireless locks to prevent unauthorised access is much cheaper than adding more hard-wired doors, because there’s no cabling or invasive building work needed. There is no need to change door hardware: visit YouTube (www. youtube.com/watch?v=Ta8J6vW9Zy4) and you can watch a technician complete one installation, from start to finish, in under 2 minutes. Maintenance is simple, too. An Aperio® device’s standard battery needs replacing every 2 years. That’s it.

Devices for every campus door There are Aperio® devices for almost any opening or security level in a university, and integration can be Online or Offline. Because Aperio® is built using open architecture, seamless online integration enables a single admin interface to control both hard-wired doors and all additional Aperio® battery-powered devices. Facility managers can survey the whole campus at a glance. Aperio® escutcheons and cylinders enable robust, keyless, trackable access to classrooms and conference rooms. The new Aperio® handle (H100) packs the flexibility and affordability of Aperio® into a slim, cleverly designed, batterypowered door handle — perfect for meeting rooms, staff rooms and offices. For sensitive doors — management offices, IT, science labs,

or the main entrance — the Aperio® security lock (L100) transmits door status and meets fire regulations (EN1125 / EN179). At a building entrance, it’s easy to combine the security lock with a panic bar. An Aperio® server lock (KS100) secures server racks and cabinets, either onsite or in a co-located data centre, and brings physical server security into the same system as site doors. Aperio® saves university money without compromising the security of staff or assets. With Aperio®, managers can prevent unauthorised access and bring detailed audit trails to far more doors. If needs change — say, a new building comes onstream — Aperio® is scalable. It’s quick to install as many Aperio® devices as needed to keep the campus secure. “Providing integrated solutions at complex university sites, working closely with integrators... this is something we understand better than anyone,” says Mathias Weiß, Product Manager, Aperio® at ASSA ABLOY EMEA. Why choose Aperio® for your university? • Wireless locks are a costeffective way to upgrade an existing access control system: Aperio® integrates seamlessly with almost 100 leading access control systems, so there’s no need to issue new smart-cards or start from scratch • The Aperio® range has cylinders, escutcheons and security locks to prevent unauthorised access to all kinds of doors, interior and exterior, as well as server racks • Wireless locks are quick to install, easy to manage from a single admin point, and much cheaper to run than wired electronic locks • Aperio® is fully scalable: you can add new doors or buildings whenever you want • Aperio® wireless access control is deployed and trusted in universities all over Europe To discover why universities Europe-wide choose Aperio®, visit www.assaabloy.co.uk/ aperioforuniversities. n

Since 2004, to fulfil our customer’s requirements to protect their sites from Acts of Terrorism such as the events in Nice and Paris, 9/11, 7/7 and Glasgow Airport where a Vehicle was used as a Weapon, Frontier Pitts has been impact testing to the International IWA14, British PAS 68 and American K12 specifications since 2004. Today we have the complete range of impact tested products on the CPNI’s Catalogue of Impact Tested products. This includes a range of HVM (Hostile Vehicle Mitigation) to mitigate against VAW (Vehicle as a Weapon) attacks. Our Terra Gates, Terra Barriers, Terra Blockers, and a wide range of Rising and Static Terra Bollards have all been successfully impact tested to IWA 14 and PAS 68.

One of our latest products is the unique HVM PAS 68 Terra Quantum Side Folding Retractable Bollard. With a shallow foundation depth or only 300mm required, the Terra Quantum Bollard has been successfully PAS 68 impact tested stopping a 7.5t vehicle travelling at 30mph (48kph), resulting in zero penetration. The Terra Quantum Bollard is also the preferred option by Architects or Security Consultants for aesthetically pleasing, modern appearance welcomed for high profile, modern site designs. Other new products include the Terra G8 Sliding Gate successfully impact tested to IWA14 which can secure widths of up to 8m and the Terra Shallow Blocker with embedment depths of only 300mm. For remote Critical National Infrastructure sites with limited or no power source, the g

manually operated Terra 180° Swing Barrier (IWA14 impact tested at 7.2t @ 48kph) and the Terra Ultimate 180° Swing Barrier (IWA14 impact tested at 7.2t @ 80kph) is the ideal solution. Frontier Pitts invest heavily in Research and Development as part of our concerted efforts alongside the British Government to combat what is now an everpresent danger facing the national infrastructure. With the threat ever changing, Frontier Pitts have also designed and manufactured the only LPS1175 accredited Turnstile; the Terra Diamond Turnstile Security Rating 3 & 4 for forcible attack. This has also been Approved for Government Use, please contact CPNI. Recent development has also seen the development of our LPS1175 Bi-folding and Sliding Platinum Security Gate range which are proven to withstand forcible attack by an intruder using a range of readily available hand tools. The Platinum Bi-folding Gate model is the first gate of its kind to achieve the forcible attack rating. To mitigate against multiple threats a Layered Security

34 I November 2017 I IN Security

Approach should be employed. LPS1175 Security Gates can be interlocked and back by HVM equipment to achieve the ultimate protection. For very active CNI sites that have high access usage, Security Gates or Barriers can be interlock with the HVM equipment and be deployed during periods of high threat. A full Risk Assessment

of the individual site should be completed, with an understanding of all assets requiring protection and their potential threats, to ensure all individual site requirements are met. Frontier Pitts are also able to supply Building Information Modelling (BIM) on the NBS National BIM Library to meet PAS1192. n

cover story

A View from the Dockside :

The KRAKEN wakes

The average person, on hearing the words “maritime security“ will automatically think of the blue waters of the Indian ocean, of the still too frequently romanticised pirate, swarming over the side, cutlass in teeth, looking for doubloons. Nowadays, this vision has been blurred for the more discerning, not least by the detention of six British personnel guarding ships transiting the Gulf, who were arrested on arms charges in India. Their release is welcome, though the problem of armament remains. For those looking, however, at the almost invisible aspects of Dockside security, peering into the dirty muddy brown and often smelly waters from the harbour wall, there has often been, along with the smell, a feeling of being the “ Cinderella “ side of maritime security. Unlike our colleagues in Aviation, who have been feted as professionals, top level

personnel for whom the SIA Blue badge is not a qualification, merely an invitation to be considered for training and advancement, Dock security personnel have often been considered as awfully basic. We have all heard or even seen first hand, occasions when absenteeism has been increased as the local shopping centre held interviews for security personnel, as staff slopped off or took a “ sicky “ to apply for the higher paid jobs in the Retail sector. That a dock or harbour, regarded, rather glibly, as “ Critical National Infrastructure “ by Government, can be guarded on the national minimum wage is, itself, surely, a cause for concern. It could be wondered, really, how much initiative and conscientious duty can be performed against such a low standard. Ironically, many of those tasked with this duty perform it well, but for what reward, other than self satisfaction, is unknown.

How did we get to this pass? Initially, the whole purpose of having Docks with walls and gates, rather than just unloading on a quayside open to all, was precisely to control the rampant theft of goods inwards to the Country. In the early 1790s, when there was piracy in the river Thames within sight of the Tower of London, part of Parliament’s answer to the million Pound plus annual theft bill was the guarding of the Docks. This formed part of the marine police establishment, and , whilst everybody has seen or heard of the Thames police, since 1839 part of London’s Metropolitan Police, the subsequent Dock Forces are, rapidly, passing into history. Cost, of course, demolished them and , latest word on the street, as they say, will do so for some of the few remaining soon. Cost cutting is fair enough providing replacements are efficient.


However, as, sadly, with so much cost cutting, it doesn’t quite work out like that. Hence the need to slip off to get a higher paid job. Some of the blame, of course, has to be put onto Port Operators, who have resisted any specialist training for dock security personnel. Some onto some security Companies who have eschewed such training as costly, unnecessary (in that the Operator does not require it) and some, of course, needs to be borne by Government’s failure to insist. Whilst on a standards working party, the writer was able to contrast the official views of Government on Dock security with those of the CAA, backed by the powerful MONTREAL convention and International Air security standards . There was and is no comparison. Whilst it is easy to accept that Aircraft pose an immediate, serious, target, they can be hijacked, blown up, or even, taken over and crashed into buildings, things that really make heavy and heavy calibre security very necessary, it has to be argued that the potential for life disrupting

threats exist in the Maritime World. This has not, always, seemed to occur to anybody. The equivalent to the ICAO and the MONTREAL convention is ISPS and the UN’s International Maritime Organisation (IMO). For the IMO ,there has not been the emphasis on security that their Aviation colleagues in ICAO have. The safety of lives at sea, the worries about buoyage, pilotage and navigation marks, matters, frankly, very germane to the daily lives of seafarers, obviously have taken precedence until comparatively recently. Also, obviously, life saving (SOLAS) and inter Governmental co operation in that field. The IMO is based in London, and in all the above fields, the UK punches exceptionally above it’s weight. Of course, with the insurance market, the salvage Association, Lloyds Register, the Hydrographic Office,the International Lifeboat organisation headquartered at the RNLI in Poole, and our history of Coastguard and Trinity House navigation and pilotage, the IMO fires on many cylinders at top speed.

It is now time, therefore, to start to punch at least to our weight in the Port security world. Our tradition of walled Docks is no less relevant than Trinity House’s tradition of navigation marks. Our history of Dock patrolling is no less longstanding than our lifeboats or our navigation Charts. We should be World leading. The writer was amused, on the Indian subcontinent, to note that a port Authority still relied on security systems first imported in the mid 19th century from Sunderland and the river Wear, whilst, of course, in Sunderland itself, long gone. In fairness, so has most of the Port of Sunderland, but not replicated in newer ports. European standards have been strengthened, and the European security body CoESS, recently did much good work on that. However, as with everything European, the exact status of all that is very much up in the air. In theory, with continuous professional development, which should be the norm in all security functions, especially Management, a “Marinisation” programs to ensure that staff understand how Ports work, which might be thought to be pretty much a Health and Safety requirement anyway, (although the UK has removed Ports from the HSE list of most dangerous places to work, itself an inexplicable decision) most observers should find the European ideas hardly revolutionary and really sensibly based. However, as with any idea involving training and expense, there are bound to be detractors. It would be good if individual Companies were to embrace the ideas, to try to gain competitive edge over others when tendering or renewing contracts. Are there reasons to be cheerful? Well yes, as with Ian Dury, of memory to those of us old enough, three. Firstly, we are blessed with Project KRAKEN and, to a lesser extent, Project YALI. KRAKEN was basically set up to cover the Coastline, it has varied from area to area, depending, to an extent, on each Police Force’s commitment to it. When ACPO, the Association of Chief Police Officers, existed , their lead officer on maritime and port crime was keen to spread it, but, of course, each g
