Dear Readers, Heartiest Greetings from SecurityLink India! Crimes are growing fast and so are their kinds, and modus. Be it the long-observed snatching, house breaking, theft, stalking and rapidly emerging cases of sexual assaults, road rage, students fights, and even murders; or today’s hi-tech remotely monitored and controlled crimes such as terrorism, extremism, hacking, money laundering and other cyber-crimes – all pass across one point in common and that is the prompt exploitation of technologies. The easy accessibility to mobile phones and social sites which are otherwise a revolutionary invention, has significantly gone to their advantage. Although technologies are evolved with the obvious aim for the good of society, but perpetrators with their unrestricted resources are gaining more out of them. It is an old saying that the hands of the Law are long and far reaching, but this appears falling short in today’s context unless the law enforcement agencies are sufficiently armed with state-of-the-art technologies and equipment. The incidence of an alarmingly large number of pending and unsolved cases is a testimony to it. Police forces, especially in India are less prepared and far behind the criminals. Modernization of police in India has certainly taken a strive yet it has a long way to go. The projects like CCTNS, National Intelligence Grid (Natgrid), National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC), Central Monitoring System (CMS) etc., are impactful initiatives but they are yet to fructify thanks to inadequate techno-legal training. Law enforcement agencies of India must be aware of both technical as well as legal requirements in order to derive maximum benefits out of these initiatives. Today, it is more important to save information and knowledge. Modernization of police-forces is a continuous process and their requirement of modern weapons keeps evolving over time. The Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) are provided with the latest state-of-the-art weapons as per their requirements, and a Modernisation Plan-II is under implementation to further improve them. The Government of India has also supplemented the efforts of State Governments by providing central assistance to strengthen their police infrastructure and approved an enhanced outlay under the umbrella scheme of ‘Modernisation of Police Forces (MPF)’ with a total sum of INR 25,061 crore. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is finally approved by the EU Parliament and is effective from 25 May 2018. It has far-reaching repercussions. It regulates the EU citizen’s data in every part of the world and in every organization processing or storing it, and therefore all such organizations need to be registered under GDPR, and in cases of noncompliance they may face heavy fines. Besides other interesting editorials, this issue of SecurityLink India presents an interesting article on the Role of Data Protection Officer under GDPR which every pertinent organization is required to appoint. Till next month, stay safe and happy reading! With warm regards,

 For those who want to establish surveillance solution, low cost solutions will be a great find. So, wireless video surveillance equipment takes away the need to establish trenching cables and thus leads to cost effective solutions  – Josh Woodhouse Video Surveillance Analyst, IHS When carriers or municipalities decide to deploy public Wi-Fi or hot spots, increasingly the request is bundled with a desire for adding a video camera to the hot spots deployment.

When it comes to throughput or capacity requirements, these can vary a great deal based on resolution, frame rate and even the device being used to view the video streams. In this case the device is typically a large monitor in a central location. Table below gives some idea of capacity per camera requirements. 240

From the table it can be seen that to provide an HD video stream at 720p, a common resolution, the network must support at least 2Mbps and ideally 8Mbps. When this is multiplied out it can be seen that a good security camera will require on the order 700Gb per day.

Wireless video security and Proxim

hen looking at each of the wireless network requirements, it is clear that the Proxim Wireless Tsunami® product line delivers on all of these, and does so with features and functionality that meet and exceed the needs described here.

Video security requirements

ith the need and growth for video surveillance, and in particular wireless video surveillance established, what are the specific requirements for this application? What requirements must a viable video security solution provide? These requirements can be broken down into those that apply to the cameras themselves, and those that apply to the wireless network component providing the connectivity. Video security requirements for wireless networks ●● High capacity – up to 25 Mbps per cameras. ●● Reliable video communications – the network must have high availability (as much as 99.999%) and be secure. ●● Mobility. ●● Water- and dust-proof (IP67-rated). ●● Wide operating temperature range -40° to 55°C. Video security requirements for the cameras ●● Complex and constantly changing lighting. ●● Complex picture composition, backlighting. ●● Large area overview. ●● High level of detail needed. ●● Vibration. ●● Clear images of rapidly moving objects and persons.

High capacity

ith a typical security camera consuming up to 8 Mbps, to be effective the wireless network will likely be supporting more than one camera per network. Proxim offers a variety of Tsunami® products that support 10Mbps, 25Mbps, 50Mbps, 100Mbps, 240Mbps up to 633Mbps of useable bandwidth.

Reliable video communications

here are three main factors to reliable video communications: 1. The network must have high availability (as much as 99.999%) ●● The Tsunami® product line of outdoor wireless networking systems offer a full two year warranty. Proxim has customers who have deployed radios from ten years ago, have never been touched, and are operating today. With an field determined MTBF of well over 1 million hours for some product lines, up to over 2 million hours of MTBF for others, this equates to 1.5 to 3 seconds outage per year.

SecurityLink India ■ May 2018

white paper

2. The network must ensure the quality of the video stream in the face of radio frequency impairments or other traffic being carried on that wireless link ●● In this application poor image quality is absolutely not allowed. It is no exaggeration to state that in many deployments lives are at stake, and the video system and in particular the network must be top quality. From a radio frequency performance perspective, Proxim builds into every unit it’s suite of interference mitigation technologies known as Proxim ClearConnect™ ensuring reliable wireless connectivity.

●● While basic connectivity is a must, it is not enough to ensure ‘Reliable Video Communications.’ To meet this standard the wireless technology beyond the radio frequency layer must deliver high quality video images. This relates to the MAC layer used, and Proxim has spent the last 15 years developing, improving

and delivering to the market the premier outdoor QoS MAC protocol – WORP®. With WORP® users of a Proxim Tsunami® network have the ability to set jitter and latency service level agreement for the traffic. Minimum data rates for video traffic can be reserved, and all of this is implemented in a network that can be supporting more than just the video, Voice over IP and sensor data can also be supported on the same wireless network with WORP® running. ●● Video is unique in another way from typical data traffic, and in that it is almost all upstream. Meaning the vast majority of the traffic is coming from the camera and being uploaded to the network. Many systems are designed to be asymmetric, supplying more data capacity in the downstream, in the reverse. With Proxim the system is dynamic in it’s upstream/ downstream ratios and can easily move to 80% upstream lending support for this application. ●● A large amount of video traffic is now transmitted as multicast, which most wireless vendors transmit as multiple unicast with massive increases in required bandwidth. Proxim supports multicast and IGMP snooping to ensure multicast streams are properly and efficiently transported over the wireless connections. 3. The network must be secure – Video security traffic is mission critical and as such has work and it has to be secure. Proxim delivers on this requirement in multiple ways ●● Over the air format – Unlike many wireless video systems that are based on and use standard Wi-Fi protocols, WORP® on Tsunami® networks is a Proxim owned, developed and secured protocol. It is impossible for example to use a Wi-Fi sniffer on Tsunami® traffic, unlike mesh systems which use common WiFi frames. ●● The enclosures used in the Tsunami® product line are die cast aluminum, not plastic, and come with tamper proof seals. ●● Encryption – every packet sent over a Tsunami® link is encrypted with AES 128 encryption.

Mobility

ecurity is not required just on the street corner, or in a stadium, it must also operate on trains, trams, buses and even ferries. When looking at backhauling video traffic off

of any of these platforms, the bandwidth demand from even one camera can reach gigabits per day. Assuming a 720p camera from the previous table is used, multiplying that by four or even more cameras per train car, per bus yields an instantaneous data rate requirement of 8Mbps and 700Gb per day. The options for transporting this traffic off of a mobile platform are typically restricted to Mesh Wi-Fi, Advanced cellular (LTE) or Proxim. ●● Mesh: In the first case, as noted mesh is not secure and has a very difficult time supporting the necessary QoS required for quality video imaging. In addition handoffs between nodes in a Mesh network can be problematic, especially when confronted with hidden node issues. ●● LTE: While the network can support this traffic, it is cost prohibitive. If a 720p camera is used, this equates to 700 Gb per day, and at a typical $10/Gb its cost can equate to $7,000 per day, per camera. With 2Mbps for standard def video @86k minutes/ day =175Gb of data per camera per day.

Outdoor deployments

ith a significant percentage of the video security deployments taking place outdoors, the equipment has to be able to pass stringent specifications including a rating of IP66 or more. Proxim Tsunami® products are all IP67 rated, meaning they can be submerged in 1 meter of water for 30 mins with no water ingress.

Wide operating temperature range

ecurity is not just a concern in temperate climates. The Middle East with day time temperatures reaching 50°C, and other areas such as Russia or Canada going as low as -40 degrees C, the wireless network has to be able to survive these brutal temperature ranges. Tsunami® products are rated for -40 to +60 degrees C operation. For those environments that are more temperate there are version of Tsunami® that support -30 to 55°C temperature ranges. Beyond these core, fundamental requirements for any wireless network carrying mission critical video traffic Proxim offers additional support.

Small form factor

ideo camera deployments are meant in most cases to be unobtrusive, able to blend into existing surroundings. The Tsunami® 800 series of products offer a unit that is only

4.96x8.62x2.58 in (126x219 x 65.5 mm) in dimensions, and includes an integrated antenna to limit the overall subscriber unit profile.

PoE out

iven that for every subscriber unit there will be a camera attached, Proxim offers a second PoE port on the subscriber units that can deliver up to 25 watts of power to third party devices such as video cameras. This feature means deploying the camera does not require additional cable runs, the camera is plugged into the Tsunami® unit for both power and connectivity.

Wireless video case studies

roxim has been delivering to customers high end, carrier class Tsunami® systems for many years. Video security has always been a major application for the Tsunami® line given how it meets and exceeds the demanding feature a specification set required by the video security application. A select group of typical deployments are described here.

Dubai Investment Park

pread over 2300 hectares, Dubai Investments Park required a high-speed, cost-effective network to enable video security for intrusion detection and monitoring purposes. Over 40HD closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, 6 fixed ALPR cameras and automatic license plate recognition were deployed. The Proxim Tsunami® MP-8200 solution was installed across the residential zone of the park aggregating live feeds to a central monitoring station.

SecurityLink India ■ May 2018

The result: The video surveillance network covers over 25% of the entire park area and required 15 days to perform the whole installation.

Allentown PA

s part of the city’s re-vitalization project, Allentown, PA - USA deployed security cameras to capture license plates at significant distances at night as well as monitor critical locations around the clock. The video solution they chose used high definition PTZ cameras requiring 4Mbps of continuous bandwidth per camera. The local integrator, Communication Systems Inc (CSi), installed more than 300 Sony cameras, 175 of which are connected using wireless. Tsunami® was used as the wireless network component for Allentown. The result: The citywide surveillance network helped reduce crime by 20%.

nels. Proxim Tsunami® BSUs were deployed along the track in the proper locations and multiple SU’s were deployed in each train to backhaul each camera and provide 4Mbps of continuous connectivity. The result: The Tenerife Tram surveillance solution team was able to effortlessly and quickly deploy the surveillance cameras on board the moving trams and backhaul the video traffic using Proxim’s wireless mobility solution. The resultant network cost-effectively delivered connectivity along the track and within the tram, with the entire network being managed with Proxim’s ProximVision Advanced system.

Statue of Liberty

hen Hurricane Sandy hit the greater Metro New York area, one of the areas hardest hit was the island in the middle of the harbor with the Statue of Liberty. As part of the renovation following the devastation, the Statue surveillance and security system needed to migrate from analog CCTV to the latest in digital video technology. The Park decided to deploy 160 IP cameras with HD resolution. The cameras had the ability to operate in extreme low light, with an undistorted 200 degree FOV and operated at 6 megapixel resolution. The result: The entire park/ island is now covered with HD video surveillance using Proxim Tsunami® radios as the network backbone.

Tenerife Spain tram

n Tenerife Spain they have a tram used for local mass transportation. The requirement was to provide complete CCTV coverage at speeds up to 100Km/h along 80Km of winding track which goes through the city and through tun22

Summary

ideo security is increasingly becoming a fact of life. Places like downtown London have 100% coverage and many cities such as New York are moving in that direction. It is clear that to protect and monitor public domains such as sidewalks, parks, transportation systems, and the like, a wireless network will be part of the solution. Of critical import in selecting the mission-critical wireless network system, are the abilities of the system to survive the harsh environment both physical and radio frequency, provide guaranteed QoS via WORP® over a secured connection, and be able to deliver high bandwidth connectivity not just to light poles but on moving platforms as well. Proxim’s FastConnect™ is the best and possibly the only cost effective QoS assured mobility solution available. For a mission critical applications such as video security, when performance matters Proxim delivers.

Governing Council Meeting C

entral Association of Private Security Industry (CAPSI) and Association of Private Detectives and Investigators (APDI) recently held their Governing Council Meeting, which brought together national office bearers and members of CAPSI from across the country, and provided them a valuable networking opportunity to discuss, explore and set the stage for further cooperation a large number of issues pertaining to the private security industry. The conference began with the opening remarks of Kunwar Vikram Singh, Chairman, CAPSI & APDI, and continued with interactive panel discussions, presentations, and briefings on various topics of interest like GST, Code of Conduct, matters related to principle employers etc.

The Meeting was graced by the presence of Vivek Bharadwaj, IAS, Joint Secretary (PM), MHA who actively indulged in a meaningful discussion with the industry representatives and invited their comments on current issues being faced by the industry. The Chairman welcomed Mr. Bhardwaj and apprised him of the current issues which the industry faces such as renewal of licenses, license of gunman, immunity to PSA owner against cognizable offences committed by guards, formation of an internal committee to tweak some rules in order to ensure better growth of the industry, requirement of upgrading skills of guards to match with international standards, uniform standard of training across the country, nonPSARA compliant PSAs to be dealt

with a heavy hand, and so on. The industry representatives raised following issues to the Joint Secretary: ●● Grant of license to an agency needs to be simplified, registration of Aadhar Card of the owner be linked with KYC forms and get antecedents verified. ●● Provision for permission to operate in multiple states. ●● PSARA be enforceable across the country, and provisions for licenses for all India be formulated. ●● Documentary evidence of being born at a particular place, especially for the older person as the registration of birth at that time was not mandatory. ●● Delhi police firing range to be made available to the licensed armed se-

curity guards for practice through the security agencies. DGR model to determine the minimum service charges to be included in the tendering process by the PSAs. Delhi PSARA mandates a training centre to possess minimum one acre of ground for physical activities. This can be offset by conducting physical training in government schools which have playground of one acre or more. The training activities can be carried out after school hours. Validity of PSARA license be enhanced from the present three years to five years. In case it is applied for renewal in stipulated time frame before the expiry date, and renewal not received, the agency’s license may be considered renewed. It was informed that the Govt of Bihar has started the process of auto renewal of licenses, and submission of documents is done on line. Considering the fast turnover of security guards in the industry, present verification procedure followed by the police is very time consuming. It was recommended

●●

that e-portals like that of NCRB be developed and used to identify the criminal records of the applicants, if any. If there are no adverse entries, it may be deemed clear. That police stations located in remote areas of the country can be asked to work in collaboration and share information of any agency operating from that area, which otherwise is a difficult and timeconsuming task for CAPSI. That in Maharashtra it is compulsory for agencies to register with Maharashtra Security Guard Board and employ only those who are cleared by them. It was recommended that Maharashtra Guard Board be brought under PSARA. That if an agency submits the application in accordance with the check list of the State Controlling Authority, then the new license should be given within 60 days and renewals within 30 days. Though the validity of the license in one of the states i.e., Jharkhand is for five years, but the Controlling Authority demands a yearly renewal charge of INR 25,000/- which

needs to be stopped forthwith. ●● That in AP/ Telengana, the Controlling Authorities are officers who perform the task in addition to their various other assigned tasks, thereby they get little time to resolve issues pertaining to the industry. ●● Controlling Authority in one of the states has enforced training of MDs in the state as part of the condition to renew license. If other states also do that, MD will require to be attending the same course in all states where his agency is functional. ● ● It was informed that Government of J&K has passed an Act wherein only those individuals who are the domicile of the state and have 51% share of the company will be able to run a security agency in the State. This debars Indians not belonging to the State of J&K from conducting business in the State. Based on the discussions held, it is envisaged that MHA may issue certain recommendations to State Controlling Authorities which will eventually pave the way towards ease of doing business by the security agencies.

‘Star Rating’ for Private Security Industry

APSI is all set to launch ‘Star Rating,’ a process of evaluation of the security company with regard to its professional acumen and administrative prowess to determine its overall competency and grade them with an appropriate star rating. This new initiative has been devised to facilitate the present 22,000 private security agencies (PSA) across India who are in competition to assert their competency with each other to garner contracts from all the private employers (PE), The concept is based on the ISO pattern of grading of a business establishment. The obvious advantage of such an evaluation conducted by the experts in the domain is that the rating obtained will go a long way in promoting the company in its quest to garner more business. The CEO of CAPSI Maj Gen K Majumdar (Retd) stated that the Star Rating is a unique programme which will benefit the industry a lot in streamlining process and the conduct of business in accordance with the code of conduct formulated. The rating is independent of the size of a company, and hence will hugely benefit smaller companies who could also aspire for Fire Star Rating.

Professionalism and compliance of PSARA will bring credibility

r. Bharadwaj stated that he has been very keen to interact with CAPSI members as they were the true representatives of the security industry. He expressed his satisfaction on the way the deliberations took place and made a note of a few valid points that have been brought to his notice and assured all present that he will certainly follow up on these issues. He took note to examine the current procedure of grant of new license & renewal of existing licenses, utilization of police firing range for practice, and whether J&K Govt can enact the model rules in the manner that they have. He stated that there is a need to understand the Constitution of India. PSARA is a model Act and rules formulated by states are within the broad contours of the Act. So far as checking of criminal records/ antecedents of prospective guards are concerned, these

could be obtained from the CCTNS portal which connects all operational police stations in the country except 80. Citizen service portal is another point that can be exploited. He was in favour of corporate licences for companies, and the service charges should not be below the minimum wages.

ubhash Wadhawan, National President, APDI addressed the audience and enumerated the road map envisaged for APDI. He stated that there is a need to restructure the organization so as to have meaningful interactions and enhancement of the membership. He also stressed on the need to improve the quality of service rendered to clients and being ethical and transparent. He informed the Governing Council that the Ministry of Home Affairs is seriously considering to re-table the

Private Detective Agencies (Regulation) Bill in the Rajya Sabha in the next session of the Parliament. A highlevel meeting of the MHA was called by the Special Secretary (BM) MHA to discuss the issues related to the pending legislation. National office bearers of APDI were invited to participate in the discussion. High ranking officers of the MHA and state police attended the meeting and expressed their expert opinion. He along with Kunwar Vikram Singh, Chairman, APDI; Mahesh Sharma, Secretary General; Pawan Ahluwalia, member of Board of Governers, C Pal Singh, Honorary Director General, and V. M. Pandit, Former President, APDI attended the meeting. Chairman welcomed the idea and stated that present office bearers may be given another chance to build up APDI and reconstitution must be completed within the next 15 days. A decision was taken to organize APDI Seminars and workshops in Jaipur and Chandigarh for inculcating a cohesive working ethos.

Online Placement Portal

APSI is to introduce a Job Portal for the benefit of both the security agencies as well as the training providers. The initiative is one of the first of its kind and it is accessible for all. Though the security sector is growing at a very fast pace but it is yet 20% deficient amid the fast rate of infrastructural growth and urbanization in the country. The combined effect results in a clamor to enroll trained manpower by the security agencies to provide guards to various agencies. Majority of the private security agencies do not have training facilities on their set up, and hence they depend on selected training providers for PSARA certified security guards. Many a times these security agencies conduct desperate hunts to employ suitable guards when they ink a fresh contract with the principal employers. On the other hand, the training provider who has invested a large amount in creating an infrastructure and training persons to become guards are also looking to get them employed as soon as the course terminates and the candidate qualifies in the assessment and obtains the requisite certificate. Under these circumstances an easy to access Job Portal will be beneficial for both the security agencies as well as the training providers. The CEO of CAPSI Maj Gen K Majumdar (Retd) said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The model developed is dynamic and will be beneficial to both the training partners as well as security agencies, considering the colossal number of security guards required to be placed in the industry.â&#x20AC;?

K Tyre & Industries Ltd. is an automotive tyre, tubes and flaps manufacturing company based in Delhi, India. The company is the only tyre manufacturer offering the entire range of four-wheeler radials for trucks, buses and cars. JK Tyre has a worldwide customer base in over 80+ countries. With production facilities in nine plants, total production capacity is almost 20 million tyres per annum.

Challenges

K Tyres has its biggest manufacturing setup in Mysore. The premise comprises a manufacturing unit as well as the administrative department. Since the plant runs 24×7 and there are numerous shifts of workers, they found it difficult to manage multiple shifts manually. Managing visitors was also a problem for the company. So, they required a software that would help them keep a record of visitors on time-to-time basis. Creating a visitor’s identity in the form of visitor pass and generating reports of visitors on a monthly basis was a tire-

some process. JK Tyres was looking for a vendor who could offer them a complete solution related to time-attendance and visitor management.

Secures Deesa City in North Gujarat H

ikvision has secured Deesa City in North Gujarat in association with partner Safe Solutions. Deesa city surveillance project turned out to be a landmark achievement for the Deesa Nagar Palika and its citizens.

Overview

eesa is a city located on the banks of river Banas in Banaskantha district of Gujarat. The city was earlier recognised by the name of Camp Deesa, when it was under the rule of Deewan Saheb. In today’s time, these localities are recognised by the name of New Deesa. The city of Deesa is popular for potato plantation, and it is a major business city of north Gujarat.

Challenges

ike today’s other cities, Deesa also faces a wide spectrum of threats ranging from terrorism to rising crime rate, civil unrest, shootings, natural disasters and other emergencies. To miti-

gate the impact of these situations, city authorities require real-time information, and insights into what is happening in and around their districts. There is a growing trend of utilizing new and emerging technologies in the drive for safer and efficient cities.

Solutions

n this context, Hikvision integrated public infrastructure security solutions to provide a comprehensive framework for a single, holistic operational view and access to real-time visual, audio and location-based information. These solutions help make cities safer and more secure by empowering authorities to prevent, manage and respond to potential risk scenarios effectively. There are several challenges that local and state authorities face in ensuring high levels of physical security such as significant manpower and associated costs, limited budgets, multiple and often legacy systems, and most daunting

the lack of interoperability between these systems. With real-time visibility and quick responses are an absolute imperative in today’s fast-evolving cities, there is a strong need to move towards integrated security systems and centralized information. An integrated public security system ideally encompasses three main elements – monitoring, communication and mobility solutions, which are linked together with the fourth significant element, a Command and Control Centre Solution (CCCS) to mitigate risk across the city environment by providing actionable intelligence and enabling speedy security incident resolution. Key features of the proposed camera & back-end design: ●● Video surveillance/ CCTV cameras. ●● Video analytics (Intrusion detection system, left or abandoned baggage). ●● ANPR (automatic number plate recognition). ●● Facial recognition system. ●● Smart vehicle tracking system. Command and control Solution: ●● Unified real-time data analysis. ●● Centralized communication and command for faster decision. ●● Integrated multi-system to understand actual problem. Mobility solutions: ●● Vehicle mounted camera for on road surveillance. ●● Vehicle tracking system on GIS for public transportation system and waste management systems.

The ultimate goal of today’s City Surveillance solution is to create a unified security fabric to ensure an effective response to any major emergency situation. At the core of this is information technology that enables seamless integration of various individual components into a complete, consolidated view of the city’s security infrastructure. In association with the partner Safe Solution, Hikvision installed various types of cameras and systems to suit the Deesa city surveillance project including PanoVu camera, ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) camera, smart PTZ with bulk storage supported NVR and so on.

Result

he result of the project has been outstanding for the civic administration and police. “We are happy with the enhanced safety and security of the township. There have been drastic fall in the cases of casualties caused by traf-

fic accidents. It is also observed that the cases of theft or crime have dropped significantly,” said Pravin Gordhanji Mali, President, Deesa Nagar Palika. “The productivity of the city infrastructure was enhanced drastically with increased capacity of the current road for vehicular traffic. It has further improved the efficiency of the road that resulted in a better environment for reducing the fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions,” Mr. Mali added, “The con-

stant video data feed captured and aggregated by special analytics cameras and tracking applications reduces the threats of human stampede, vandalism and theft.” “At the core of this is the information technology that enables seamless integration of various individual components into a complete, consolidated view of the city’s security infrastructure,” said Amit Pandya, Director, Safe Solutions.

Role of Data Protection Officer (DPO) under General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) By Puneet Bhasin – Advocate, Cyber Laws Expert, Founder – Cyberjure Legal Consulting

fter four years of preparation and debate the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was finally approved by the EU Parliament on 14 April 2016. The Regulation was adopted and published on 27 April 2016 and will be enforceable on and from 25 May 2018. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) is a regulation by which the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission intend to strengthen and unify data protection for all individuals within the European Union (EU) whilst addressing the export of personal data outside the EU. It regulates the EU citizen data in every part of the world and in every organization processing or storing an EU Citizen’s data. The EU GDPR replaces the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC and was designed to harmonize data privacy laws across Europe, to protect and empower all EU citizens data privacy and 44

to reshape the way organizations across the region approach data privacy. This new law will have a profound impact on the operational and control environment of the organisations, not only within EU but also within the organisations based outside the EU including India. It extends the scope of EU data protection law to all foreign companies processing data of EU residents. It provides for a harmonization of the data protection regulations throughout the EU, thereby making it easier for non-European companies to comply with these regulations However, in some areas, the precise interpretation of the GDPR remains unclear, and businesses therefore face uncertainty in terms of their compliance obligations. To address this issue, the GDPR is supplemented by guidance issued by the Article 29 Working Party (WP29), an advisory body made up of representatives of the national Data Protection Authorities of each EU Member State.

Provision for Data Protection Officer (DPO)

he GDPR has a mandatory provision for the appointment of Data Protection Officer by pertinent organisations. The role of Data Protection Officer (DPO) is an important GDPR innovation and a cornerstone of the GDPR’s accountability-based compliance framework. In addition to supporting an organisation’s compliance with the GDPR, DPOs will have an essential role in acting as intermediaries between relevant stakeholders e.g., supervisory authorities, data subjects and business units within an organisation. The DPO will have professional standing, independent, expert knowledge of data protection, and to quote the GDPR, be ‘involved properly and in a timely manner’ in all issues relating to the protection of personal data. All organisations who will be required by the GDPR to appoint a DPO should do this as soon as possible and well in advance of May 2018. With the

feature

authority to carry out their critical function, the Data Protection Officer will be of pivotal importance to an organisation’s preparations for the GDPR and meeting the accountability obligations. A DPO may be a member of staff at the appropriate level with the appropriate training, however, GDPR also provides for an option of an external DPO who will be shared by a group of organisations. It is important to note that DPOs are not personally responsible where an organisation does not comply with the provisions of GDPR. The GDPR makes it clear that it is the Controller or the Processor of the organisation who is required to ensure and to be able to demonstrate that the processing is in accordance with the GDPR. Data protection compliance is ultimately the responsibility of the Controller or the Processor.

Who needs a DPO

or the first time Data Controllers as well as Data Processors are required to appoint a Data Protection Officer in three situations as per Article 37(1) of the GDPR.

● Where the processing is carried out by a public authority or body

ny organisation that is a public authority or a public body must appoint a DPO. However, the GDPR does not define the expression ‘public authority or body.” Rather, the GDPR leaves it to each EU Member State to determine which organisations are public authorities and public bodies. Where a private business performs outsourced public

carries out surveillance of private shopping centres and/ or public spaces using CCTV would be required to appoint a DPO as surveillance is a core activity of the company. On the other hand, it would not be mandatory to appoint a DPO where an organisation undertakes activities such as payroll and IT support, as while these involve the processing of personal data, they are considered ancillary rather than core activities. functions on behalf of a public authority or a public body, the WP29 recommends that such business should appoint a DPO, not merely in relation to those outsourced public functions, but also in relation to all of the other data processing activities of that business, including processing activities that are unrelated to the outsourced public functions.

● Where the core activities of the Controller or the Processor comprise processing operations, which require regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects on a large scale

nder this provision companies whose primary activities involve processing personal data on a large scale for the purposes of behavioural advertising, online tracking, fraud prevention, detection of money laundering, administering loyalty programs, running CCTV systems, monitoring smart meters etc., will be caught by the DPO requirement. Core activities can be defined as the key operations necessary to achieve an organisation’s (Controller or Processor’s) goals. For example, a private security company which SecurityLink India ■ May 2018

● Where the core activities of the Controller or the Processor consist of processing on a large scale of special categories of data or personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences Article 37(1)(b) and (c) requires that the processing of personal data be carried out on a large scale in order for the designation of a DPO to be triggered. Article 37(1)(c) addresses the processing of special categories of data pursuant to Article 9, and personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences set out in in Article 10.

Qualifications

rticle 37(5) of the GDPR provides that a Data Protection Officer shall be designated on the basis of professional qualities, and in particular, expert knowledge of data protection law and practices, and the ability to fulfil the tasks referred to in Article 39. The GDPR does not define the professional qualities required, or prescribe the training a DPO should undergo to be qualified to undertake the role. This allows organisations to decide on their 45

feature

 It is important to note that DPOs are not personally responsible where an organisation does not comply with the provisions of GDPR. The GDPR makes it clear that it is the controller or the processor of the organisation who is required to ensure and to be able to demonstrate that the processing is in accordance with the GDPR. Data protection compliance is ultimately the responsibility of the controller or the processor  DPO’s qualifications and training tailored to the context of the organisation’s data processing. The appropriate level of qualification and expert knowledge should be determined according to the personal data processing operations carried out, the complexity and scale of data processing, the sensitivity of the data processed and the protection required for the data being processed.

Position of the DPO 1. Article 38 of the GDPR provides that the Controller and the Processor shall ensure that the DPO be involved properly and in a timely manner in all issues which relate to the protection of personal data. It is crucial that the DPO is involved from the earliest stage possible in all issues relating to the data protection. In relation to data protection impact assessments, the GDPR explicitly provides for the early involvement of the DPO and specifies that the Controller shall seek the advice of the DPO when carrying out such impact assessments. 2. Article 38(2) of the GDPR requires the organisation to support its DPO 46

by providing resources necessary to carry out their tasks and access to personal data and processing operations, and to maintain his or her expert knowledge. In general, the more complex and/ or sensitive is the processing operations, the more resources must be given to the DPO. The data protection function must be effective and sufficiently wellresourced in relation to the data processing being carried out. 3. Article 38(3) establishes some basic guarantees to help ensure that DPOs are able to perform their tasks with a sufficient degree of autonomy within their organisation. In particular, Controllers/ Processors are required to ensure that the DPO does not receive any instructions regarding the exercise of his or her tasks. Recital 97 adds that DPOs, whether or not they are an employee of the Controller, should be in a position to perform their duties and tasks in an independent manner. The autonomy of DPOs does not, however, mean that they have decision-making powers extending beyond their tasks pursuant to Article 39. 4. Article 38(3) also requires that DPOs SecurityLink India ■ May 2018

should not be dismissed or penalised by the Controller or the Processor for performing their tasks. This requirement also strengthens the autonomy of DPOs and helps ensure that they act independently and enjoy sufficient protection in performing their data protection tasks. Penalties are only prohibited under the GDPR if they are imposed as a result of the DPO carrying out his or her duties as a DPO. For example, a DPO may consider that a particular processing is likely to result in a high risk and advise the Controller or the Processor to carry out a data protection impact assessment but the Controller or the Processor does not agree with the DPO’s assessment. In such a situation, the DPO cannot be dismissed for providing this advice. 5. Article 38(6) allows DPOs to fulfil other tasks and duties as well. It requires, however, that the organisation ensures that any such tasks and duties do not result in a conflict of interests. The absence of conflict of interests is closely linked to the requirement to act in an independent manner. Although DPOs are allowed to have other functions, they can only be entrusted with other tasks and duties provided that these do not give rise to conflicts of interests. This entails in particular that the DPO cannot hold a position within the organisation that leads him or her to determine the purposes and the means of the processing of personal data.

Functions of the DPO

Monitoring compliance with the GDPR

rticle 39(1)(b) entrusts DPOs, among other duties, with the duty to monitor compliance with the

feature

GDPR. Recital 97 further specifies that DPO should assist the Controller or the Processor to monitor internal compliance with this Regulation. Monitoring of compliance does not mean that it is the DPO who is personally responsible where there is an instance of non-compliance. The GDPR makes it clear that it is the Controller, not the DPO, who is required to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure and to be able to demonstrate that processing is performed in accordance with this Regulation (Article 24(1)). Data protection compliance is a corporate responsibility of the data Controller, not of the DPO.

The DPO’s role in a data protection impact assessment

ccording to Article 35(1), it is the task of the Controller, not of the DPO, to carry out, when necessary, a data protection impact assessment (DPIA). However, the DPO can play a very important and useful role in assisting the Controller in the job. Following the principle of data protection by design, Article 35(2) specifically requires that the Controller shall seek advice of the DPO when carrying out a DPIA. Article 39(1)(c), in turn, tasks the DPO with the duty to provide advice where requested as regards the DPIA and monitor its performance.

Risk-based approach

rticle 39(2) requires that the DPO have due regard to the risk associated with the processing operations, taking into account the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing. This article recalls a general and common-sense principle, which may be relevant for many aspects of a DPO’s day-to-day work. In essence, it requires DPOs to prioritise their activities and focus their efforts on issues that present higher data protection risks. This selective and pragmatic approach should help DPOs advise the Controller what methodology to use when carrying out a DPIA, which areas should be subject to an internal or external data protection audit, which internal training activities to provide to staff or management responsible for data processing activities, and which processing operations to devote more of his or her time and resources to. Article 24(1) provides that taking into account the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risks of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, the Controller shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure and to be able to demonstrate that processing is performed in accordance with this Regulation. Those measures shall be reviewed and updated where necessary.

 The DPO will have professional standing, independence, expert knowledge of data protection, and to quote the GDPR, be ‘involved properly and in a timely manner’ in all issues relating to the protection of personal data  The DPO’s role in recordkeeping

nder Article 30(1) and (2), it is the Controller or the Processor, not the DPO, who is required to maintain a record of processing operations under its responsibility or maintain a record of all categories of processing activities carried out on behalf of a Controller. In practice, DPOs often create inventories and hold a register of processing operations based on information provided to them by the various departments in their organisation responsible for the processing of personal data. This practice has been established under many current national laws and under the data protection rules applicable to the EU institutions and bodies. Article 39(1) provides for a list of tasks that the DPO must have as a minimum. Therefore, nothing prevents the Controller or the Processor from assigning the DPO with the task of maintaining the record of processing operations under the responsibility of the Controller. Such a record should be considered as one of the tools enabling the DPO to perform its tasks of monitoring compliance, informing and advising the Controller or the Processor. 47

Protecting Education from Cyberthreats Anil Bhasin – Regional Vice President, India and SAARC, Palo Alto Networks

cross the world, the year 2016 turned out to be quite eventful for cybersecurity with multiple, major threats and breaches reported. It is the time to prevent cyber-threats lurking around India’s educational institutions Broadly speaking, we understand cybersecurity as the preventive techniques used to protect the integrity of networks, programs and data from attack, damage, or unauthorised access. Over the years, cybersecurity has become a massive undertaking with the growing need to protect information and systems from major cyberthreats such as cyberterrorism, cyberwarfare and cyberespionage. Furthermore, the impact of these threats on a personal level is getting more significant as we immerse ourselves in a world that depends on all things digital.

The awarenessadoption gap

mong organisations in general, there has been greater awareness about the implications of cyberthreats. However, the education sector has somewhat lagged behind industry peers in the APAC region. While studies have not concluded the presence of a direct correlation between awareness and spending, only 66 percent of educational institutions (compared to 79 percent of financial institutions, for example) spent between 5% and 15% of their IT budgets

on cybersecurity. Yet, as recent attacks on institutions of higher learning indicate, data on research, enrolment and student records that sit within school campuses can be of great value. As many as 76 percent of organisations in Asia-Pacific set aside at least 5 percent of their IT budgets towards cybersecurity this year, and about twothirds of them claim an increase in budget allocation from last year. Yet the education sector’s adoption levels, at 66 percent, have remained below average. Despite the less-than-adequate adoption levels, a whopping majority of the education sector reports a feeling of being well-protected.

Need to adopt quickly

ybersecurity solutions, too, have become more sophisticated – with the most advanced systems integrating automation to optimise prevention. However, the adoption of these measures leaves much to be desired, and this is particularly true for the education sector. In general, adoption is predictably lower in industries and institutions that are less technologically savvy. While 73 percent of the education sector in the APAC region suffers from outmoded infrastructure, as much as 72 percent of the schools surveyed are confronted with the practice of employees downloading unSecurityLink India ■ May 2018

authorised documents and software. Antivirus and firewalls are no longer adequate by the new standards, yet two out of three companies rely on those methods alone. Meanwhile, two-factor authentication, anti-ransomware, and biometrics have low patronage. In spite of all the low (45 percent) adoption of sophisticated countermeasures, the confidence level among the educational institutions is as high as 86 percent. That lack of threat perception poses the kind of vulnerability that can be disastrous. Additionally, the ageing internet infrastructure and internal threats constitute the top reasons why the education sector in Asia-Pacific is still vulnerable to cyberattacks. Budget allocation to more sophisticated cybersecurity is a prominent barrier in its adoption – only 42 percent of educational institutions are seen to have adequate allocations. As the education sector burgeons in India, it is exposed to internal and external threats, leaving schools, colleges and research institutions vulnerable. Experimenting young minds who may take cyber risks at the cost of potential threats – unauthorized downloads are a critical example – pose a special threat. The education sector in India is digitizing itself, with technology driven education coming up as a separate high growth industry as well. 49

feature

Education technology relies on broadband and optic fibre, and these compound the already existing challenge of relative naiveté among both institutions and users. Inefficiency or insufficiency of cybersecurity measures put more at stake. The cost of a breach is substantial – arguably, higher than the risks many companies seem to take by not investing enough on cybersecurity. In India, the figure is as high as Rs.25,000 crores and is expected to rise exponentially over the next decade.

Towards a strong policy

he National Cyber Security Policy 2013 is a solid document of vision for the Indian environment. It is especially important in an environment

where products and solutions for the education sector are available across international borders, transcending laws. In protecting youngsters from cyber ‘exposure,’ the document could also consider some cyberthreats as threats to national security. Some of these gaps are addressed in the National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom) and Data Security Council of India (DSCI) launched by the Growing Cybersecurity Industry, Roadmap for India report of December 2016. In it, Nasscom identifies the lacuna in India’s cybersecurity policy and recommends 16 progressive policy measures, including tax breaks and cluster-funded cybersecurity ventures. Meanwhile, the education sector finds itself in a contradiction of sorts.

On one hand, its rapid growth in India parallels the growth of IT systems to support it. On the other, the nascence of its growth has placed the sector in an especially vulnerable zone. As is the case throughout the Asian region, the Indian education sector is behind its world counterparts in grasping advanced cybersecurity systems that are available at its disposal. Despite its problems, this is a sector that does not figure on top of policy priority, in preference to finance and IT. As one of the fastest-growing migrants towards technology, and given the massive potential of the emerging technologybased education practices such as massive open online courses (MOOC), the Indian education sector must educate itself on cybersecurity quickly.

Integrate Video Management Software with Thirdparty Systems to Improve Business Operations & ROI When it comes to improving the security and business processes, enterprises in different verticals are integrating their Video Management Systems with third-party systems and apps. Find out a few of the important third-party systems that can be integrated with video management software used in different industries to improve business operations and ROI

ideo management software has become an indispensable part of security and surveillance applications. With the advent of cloud-based video surveillance, the power of VMS cannot be limited to just video monitoring. The new age VMS systems with intelligent video analytics are capable of offering much more than surveillance. 50

The cloud-based VMS systems not only fulfill comprehensive surveillance needs of the businesses, but also complement other business processes, which may directly or indirectly reflect into the business ROI. Whether it is a new VMS installation or upgradation of an existing VMS system, enterprises (considering their busiSecurityLink India ■ May 2018

ness processes to be more interactive, connected and integrated) prefer their on premise or remote business systems to be integrated with the cloud-based Video management software. Since every business and its processes are different, the video surveillance needs of the enterprises also vary from each other. With the availability of

feature

flexible and customized video surveillance and analytics services, enterprises find it challenging to pick suitable thirdparty systems and apps to support their preferred VMS system. Therefore, most of the enterprises are shifting towards Video Surveillance-as-a-Service with their system integrators or VMS service providers. Most of the VMS service providers and system integrators are offering an open source or vendor independent cloud-based video management software to their clients for the obvious reason of making VMS compatible with third-party systems and applications.

Why do third-party systems need to be compatible with video management software

he third-party systems in VMS can be defined as any of the systems, applications or devices used to support and enhance the functionality of a video management software in order to improve the security and business processes of an enterprise. There are hundreds of companies manufacturing security and surveillance devices (like IP cameras, NVRs, Audio Devices, GPS systems etc.), but all the available devices are not necessarily compatible with the video management software preferred by the companies. Therefore, it is very important for VMS service providers or system integrators to check the compatibility of the surveillance software with the available thirdparty devices required for the project.

Types of third-party systems and applications for VMS solution

hird-party systems for a video management software are either physical

devices installed at the surveillance location and office premises or widgets/ applications embedded in a video management software to enable intelligent video analytics. These systems and applications can be classified into two major categories; one as the systems for security and surveillance, and other as the system for supporting and enhancing business processes. Let us discuss them in detail.

secured by the system. Integration of VMS with access control devices allows users to monitor, control and analyze multiple access points in real time, track the number of times access granted by the devices and react immediately in case of any event is triggered. Video surveillance along with access control helps in intrusion management, biometric attendance management and identity management.

Security and surveillance systems

Fire and smoke detectors

ost of the third party systems and applications for security and surveillance are common across industries and are necessarily required to be part of a video management software.

IP cameras

n IP camera is a primary and mandatory requirement of any VMS system. A cloud-based video management software should support all types of IP cameras (Wired and Wireless cameras, PTZ, 360 degree, night vision, autofocus cameras etc.) from the major players/ manufacturers of the industry. VMS systems for customized surveillance projects must support IP cameras with open standards-based application programming interface (API), which allows system integrators to program the cameras for specific applications. IP surveillance cameras for video surveillance software must support multiple video streams and video compressions (H.264, MJEPEG) to send the video data with low latency. ONVIF support of the IP cameras with VMS systems can be an added advantage for the surveillance project.

Access control devices

ccess control devices integrated with video management software provide physical security to any place or premise SecurityLink India â&#x2013; May 2018

ire and smoke detectors are the devices, which essentially need to be integrated with the VMS system of an enterprise. Large sized enterprises can have a large number of smoke detectors, which in case of fire, trigger the fire alarms of the building. An integrated fire alarm system with VMS allows a user to quickly identify and view the location of the fire alert. A quick response to such an emergency can help in saving lives and business assets.

Video analytics for security & surveillance

ideo analytics in a VMS solution are a result of the structured algorithm of the software and many times inbuilt functionality of the devices connected to the VMS system. Video analytics for security and surveillance can be motion detection to prevent unauthorized access in restricted areas, perimeter protection to protect the virtual/ physical boundary within the enterprise, object detection, face recognition, people counting etc. A well-connected video management software with other surveillance and business-related devices can allow users to have complete control over business processes with security solutions and helps in improving the customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience with the enterprise. 51

Third party systems supporting business processes

loud-based video management software is a well-accepted solution for security and surveillance across industries. Moreover, its structure of assimilating the functionalities of other business supporting systems enhances its business management capacity, incredibly. It empowers its administrators to have an inclusive approach to managing their business processes optimally without compromising on safety and security. Let us discuss the third party systems (used in different industries) that can be integrated with a VMS solution to enhance the business processes.

Retail

hird party systems and applications of a retail video management software are helpful for both employees of the retail stores and the customers visiting the stores. Here are some of the important systems to be integrated with retail video management software: ●● Point of sale (POS systems): Integration of VMS with POS of any retail store can help in checking the fraudulent activities done by shoplifters or employees in a retail store. At POS, a customer pays for the shopped products, by either cash, credit/ debit cards, gift vouchers, loyalty cards etc. It is a checkpoint in any store before exit and most prone to any fraudulent or misleading activities. A VMS application monitoring every action of the customers or store employees at the POS can be very helpful in generating the recorded evidence in case of any conflict of interest between employees and customers. ●● Barcode scanners: Barcode scan52

ners are mostly used in managing inventory at the warehouses of the store and at the cash counters to automate the payment processes. There can be many barcode scanners simultaneously operational in any retail store, scanning hundreds of products every hour. There can be scenarios where a barcode scanned may differ from their actual product or a damaged product has been returned by the customer post purchase. A VMS system integrated with barcode scanners of a retail store can easily help in tracking the scanner used for payment and associated video footage for reference. ●● Retail video analytics: Many thirdparty video analytics applications can be embedded in a retail video management software in order to generate data like customer’s buying behavior, their product preferences, buying patterns over a period of time etc. Many video analytics applications also help in mapping customer’s journey in a retail store. Over a period, data generated by video analytics of retail video management software can help the management to strategize the product placement, new product promotions and make the customers’ journey easier in the retail store. Some of the video analytics features of a retail VMS software are in-store virtual map, queue management, perimeter blackout, object detection etc.

Fleet management

ideo management software integrated with fleet management applications can greatly help in improving fleet efficiency and safety, as well as controlling fleet operating costs. Most of the in-vehicle devices are common across fleet management companies to SecurityLink India ■ May 2018

manage vehicle transit time, monitoring driver behavior, vehicle tracking. However, some of the specific fleet services like in food and pharmaceuticals requires some additional devices to be integrated with fleet management systems. Integration of fleet telematics and other industry-specific in-vehicle devices with fleet video surveillance solutions can be very helpful in maintaining fleet compliance with recorded visual evidence of every instance of vehicles in transit. ●● Engine diagnostics systems: Engine health is a critical factor in improving the efficiency of the vehicles in the fleets. OBD (On-board diagnostics) port II, plug and play devices integrated with the fleet management and VMS systems allow admin to monitor true engine speed, mileage, battery life, engine hours, emissions etc. Integration of VMS with engine diagnostic systems allows fleet managers to view the engine performance status on the VMS dashboard through the associated IP cameras. In case of any failure recorded by the diagnostics port, the event recorded by the system is displayed on the VMS dashboard for admin to react immediately. The data generated through these systems also help fleet managers to manage the vehicle maintenance process, control repair costs, and reduce the risk of roadside breakdowns. ●● Door monitoring: Rear and front door sensors of a vehicle track their opening and closing time and location during vehicle transit. Along with video monitoring through IP cameras, vehicle door sensors help in checking unauthorized access to anyone in the vehicle. An incident is created in the software dashboard if the door is opened at an unauthor-

feature

ized location and the admin can view and react to the incident in real time or after the trip. ●● Telematics solutions: Telematics solutions integrated with in-vehicle video surveillance helps driver and fleet managers to track the vehicle’s movement on the designated route, track hours of service, and improve fleet’s efficiency through a real-time monitoring and communication with the driver. ●● Other in-vehicle systems and applications: There can be many other systems and applications that can be integrated with fleet management systems along with video surveillance. For example, temperature monitoring devices and apps for the consignment of food and pharma companies, ELD (electronic logging devices) to record hours of service of commercial vehicles, driver behavior monitoring apps and devices etc.

City surveillance

loud-based video management software for city surveillance is highly scalable and flexible, and considered among the large-sized video surveillance projects. City surveillance through a cloud-based VMS is powered by advanced video analytics to support a large number of IP cameras for monitoring traffic signals, subways, parking lots, public places, highway tolls etc. Let’s check out a few of the third party systems which can be integrated with the video management software for city surveillance. ●● Traffic signals: Traffic signals equipped with HD (high-definition) IP cameras enable centralized traffic monitoring. IP cameras installed at traffic signals constantly monitor the traffic flow with respect to changing

traffic signals. In case of an accident, law enforcement agencies can quickly analyze the severity of the incident and can accordingly coordinate with emergency services to act. Traffic rules offenders can also be tracked easily to be penalized with a video evidence. In case of traffic jams or congestions, situations can be viewed in real time and traffic lights can be reprogrammed to improve the traffic flows. ●● Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR): ANPR systems installed at traffic signals, public places and public parking lots are very helpful in identification of vehicles violating traffic rules like vehicle speeding beyond a limit, breaking red traffic signal, passing toll booths without paying, entering unauthorized bus lane etc. VMS systems recording vehicles activities at the checkpoints or at traffic signals helps in generating visual evidence for future reference. ANPR systems are very useful in identifying the registration and license status of the vehicle and also helps in tracing the stolen vehicles. ANPR systems can also be linked to automatic toll collection systems. ●● Interactive maps: Interactive maps are important applications for a City VMS solution. In large-sized VMS solutions like city surveillance, interactive maps on VMS dashboard can help in identifying the areas in the city requiring urgent monitoring and assistance. The cameras and the VMS systems of that area can enable alarms to be displayed on the map and these systems can be easily identified and approached quickly to have real-time monitoring. ●● Bookmarking videos: VMS for city surveillance generates a large numSecurityLink India ■ May 2018

ber of videos and big data to act. Certain events captured via VMS need a detailed inspection and these videos can be bookmarked for future reference. Bookmarking videos allows users to easily find them and retrieve them from a big video data. ●● Video analytics in city surveillance: Video Analytics applications in VMS for city surveillance can be used to manage the crowd, control thefts, violence, and other anti-social activities. Video analytics applications like face detection, people counting, heat mapping, crowd detection can help in ensuring the security of the city. Apart from the three verticals discussed above (retail, fleet management, and city surveillance), there are many other industry verticals, which can benefit from cloud-based video surveillance integration with third-party systems and applications. eInfochips’ cloud-based video management software based on microservices and federated architecture provides complete modularity, flexibility, and customization of any kind of video surveillance projects and supports thirdparty system applications as per client’s requirements.

Luxury Lake Living Updates Security To improve safety and instill a tranquil environment for citizens of Lagos de Carrasco (Carrasco Lakes), this residential community in Uruguay invested in a new monitoring system based on video management software from Milestone Systems

ilestone Systems open platform IP video management software (VMS) is helping the lakeside community of Carrasco Lakes in Uruguay to benefit from better security control. Previous multiple standalone systems were not efficient enough. The new networked solution allows ongoing expansions with more cameras and video analytics. Located to the east of Uruguay’s capital Montevideo, Lagos de Carrasco stretches across two islands, and is known for its beautiful houses perched on the lakes’ shores. However, because the semi-private residential community can be freely accessed through city streets, the topic of security is of keen interest to its residents. A few years ago, as the neighborhood began to grow, the area’s residents decided to invest in updating its video surveillance. Considering its location and conditions, with certain factors like humidity, electrical currents and the physical difficulties surrounding cable extensions, the system that was formerly installed deteriorated over time. This lead to a negative impact on the quality of the surveillance images, as well as to the stability of the system in general. Lagos de Carrasco worked with Milestone Partner Foxsys to execute the modernization project. Its Commercial Director, Juan Martín González, explained, “In light of the situational requirements, we installed an IP network system that connected to several of

the power supply points and featured a wireless connection that stretched across both islands. This was in addition to acquiring new cameras and a video control system in the height of the project.”

A custom technology upgrade

he previous system’s cameras, roughly five years old, were removed and replaced with about 34 IP cameras manufactured by HikVision and Arecont Vision. With the goal of combining each of these technologies and their new functions, Lagos de Carrasco chose the video management software XProtect Professional from Milestone Systems. González manages the system bandwidth with the software configuration. “All the security cameras are IP based, and we depend on failover redundancy with the video. It’s a big challenge to work with restricted bandwidth, and XProtect Professional allows us to optimize it, lower our consumption in real time and maintain the best recording resolution possible,” he said. Surveillance is performed in two ways – from the central neighborhood security office, and remotely from security company BLITZ’s main headquarters. Jaime Márquez, Director of BLITZ and Manager of Security at Lagos de Carrasco adds that the previously imSecurityLink India ■ May 2018

plemented systems were a complex challenge for the operators. “With the introduction of Milestone Systems software, we could optimize the concentration of CCTV personnel, immediately observe different incidents and qualify the seriousness of them. What’s more, we’re now able to conduct preanalyses to prevent potential crime through the identification of people and/ or actions,” Márquez said.

Looking ahead: The project continues

he initial investment is the first of three stages that the Lagos de Carrasco community has planned, another stage focuses on expanding to the farther most western perimeters of the neighborhood, potentially adding 2025 additional cameras. “This is a complicated situation, seeing as there have been several intrusions specific to the area. Due to a lot of vegetation and precarious conditions, it faces some larger technical challenges,” González explains. The third and final stage involves integrating different video analytics through Milestone Solution Partners. These include prowling detection methods, identifying trespassers in restricted areas and registering them, identifying and recognizing license plates, as well as establishing alerts for license plates not belonging to any of the residents that enters the neighborhood. 55

Westpac New Zealand uses state-of-the-art Video Surveillance System S

ecurity has come a long way in the banking business. At one time, for example, Westpac New Zealand supplied firearms to employees and had a gun range in the basement of one of its branches to train staff in marksmanship. It was only in 1975 that firearms were removed from the branches and the gun range deemed redundant. Today, Westpac New Zealand relies on a state-of-the-art video surveillance system from March Networks to protect its customers, employees and assets. Part of the Australian-based Westpac Group, Westpac New Zealand is the

he introduction of the 9000 series IP recorders followed a decision by the bank last year to begin transitioning to high-definition, all-IP video in new deployments for enhanced image quality. Each recorder is loaded with a quar-

island nation’s second largest financial institution with 170 branches across the country, approximately 130 of which are equipped with March Networks 8000 series hybrid NVRs or 9000 series IP recorders. As the bank’s older, thirdparty surveillance devices and recorders exceed their ‘best before’ date, they too will be replaced by March Networks technology, said Ray Millar, Westpac New Zealand’s Senior Manager of Pro-

tet of 4TB hard drives for total storage capacity of 16 TB, allowing Westpac New Zealand to retain video for up to a year. Branches are each equipped with between 10 and 24 third-party cameras depending on their size, including outdoor cameras in branches where parking lot coverage is necessary. The 9000 Series recorders are available in 32, 48 and 64-channel models, and feature an embedded Linux operat-

tective Services. “We have exposure to three video surveillance systems and the March Networks solution is the leading performer of the three for usability, retention and quality,” said Mr. Millar.

ing system, internal battery backup, front panel diagnostic LEDs and between four and eight secure, front-access hard-drive slots for efficient maintenance. The solution is powered by March Networks Command Enterprise video management software, which allows large, multi-site organizations like Westpac New Zealand to centrally administer user access and recording configurations, schedule mass device updates, monitor system health performance, and quickly zero in on video evidence. In addition to its 170 branches, Westpac New Zealand operates 320 remote ATMs, 19 of which are smart bank machines that accept deposits without the need for a bank card. To comply with the New Zealand government’s antimoney laundering requirements, the bank has equipped the 19 smart ATMs with March Networks MegaPX ATM cameras. Designed specifically for bank machines, the MegaPX ATM camera is compact, easy to install, and features high dynamic range for superior image capture in bright backlit conditions and excellent low-light performance.

Good camera coverage is ‘vital’

estpac New Zealand uses its complete video surveillance solution to manage a number of risks including robberies, violent and aggressive behavior, and investigations around discrepancies in cash. “We allow for fast, bulk deposits, so

someone might drop $5,000 in a sealed, tamper-proof bag into a slot and walk away,” said Millar, “The bag gets processed in a cash room and if a bank employee opens it and finds it’s short, it’s vital that we have good camera coverage with a chain of evidence to show with some confidence that the bag wasn’t tampered with.” “Because video evidence is so critical to Westpac New Zealand, the March Networks remote health monitoring functionality is very important,” continued Millar, “If we lose a camera or a recorder hard-drive, we need to know as soon as possible because we don’t want a branch to open without a fully functioning video surveillance system. In these situations, we’ll dispatch a security guard to the branch until we can get a technician there to get the system up and running.” Westpac New Zealand provides its regional and branch managers with access to video systems in the locations they oversee, and requires them to check the field of view monthly to make sure the cameras are properly positioned for optimum surveillance. The bank also makes the systems available to its antimoney laundering investigators and other key people in the organization. From time to time, the security department will receive requests for video from the human resource department, for example, or from a customer whose car has been dinged in a branch car park. In the event of a robbery or other incident, still images from the video solution can be quickly and easily emailed to law enforcement. Video clips can also be exported directly onto a memory stick or burned to a DVD. Westpac New Zealand’s decision to standardize on a March Networks intelligent video solution is based on the bank’s experience with different vendor offerings.

Safety for Helsinki Metro T

he Helsinki Metro is the major transit hub in Finland’s largest metropolitan region and the world’s northernmost metro system. Connecting downtown Helsinki with the neighboring suburbs and cities, it is a vital traffic artery for citizens and commuters. Every year, 63 million passengers rely on the safe and efficient Helsinki Regional Transport Authority (HSL) rail system. Since November 2017, the Helsinki Metro reaches even further. A massive expansion project, the Länsimetro (Western Metro) extension, has added 14 kilometers of track and eight brand-new metro stops reaching all the way to the town of Espoo. When it came to adding public address and emergency voice evacuation on such a massive scale, Helsinki Metro chose Bosch Praesideo. Known for its scalability, high level of redundancy, interference-free audio, and operational versatility, Praesideo is installed in more than 20,000 applications worldwide; including the pre-existing Helsinki Metro network. With its unique optical network, Praesideo proved the perfect solution to extend the system and integrate the Länsimetro’s 5,580 new loudspeakers, which are installed in twelve colors and 14 different speaker designs to match the state-of-the-art interior aesthetic. As every one of the eight new metro stations features a unique architectural design and different building materials, it took extra measures to ensure uniform audio quality. Using Bosch speakers, sound experts conducted 3D-acoustics tests at all stations. This provided the basis to fine-tune audio controls on a station-by-station basis via 24 amplifiers on 600 channels with 91kW total amplifier power. Ensuring interference-free audio at all eight new stations regardless of acoustic variations, Praesideo from Bosch now delivers passenger safety according to the highest specifications. Länsimetro has gained certification according to sound system standard SFS-EN 50849, as well as Fire Alarm Standards SFS-EN 54-16 and SFE-EN 54-24. Fulfilling a key requirement set by HSL, Praesideo from Bosch is installed as a distributed system to allow for controlling broadcasts at all eight Metro stops individually. Bringing customer safety full-circle, Bosch Praesideo also interfaces with Helsinki Metro’s other security systems. A direct interface with fire safety allows the Bosch system to trigger automated evacuation messages in case of a fire alarm to guide passengers to the nearest exit or tunnel. Interfaced with the video surveillance system, Bosch Praesideo plays automatic warning messages and alerts operators when passengers are veering dangerously close to the tracks. Construction is already underway for Stage 2 of Länsimetro to add seven kilometers of new track, and full-circle passenger security powered by Bosch Praesideo, by the year 2020.

Keeping Istanbul Ferry Passengers Safe 250 Wisenet cameras installed throughout 20 ferries operated by City Lines in Istanbul

ith over 166 years’ experience with seaports, ships and ferries, City Lines offer comfortable and safe sea transportation services to tourists and those who live and work in Istanbul, Turkey’s most populous city. Every day, over 150,000 passengers rely on City Lines services. Having decided to offer a new ferry service between Istinye and Çubuklu, which are both part of the Istanbul greater metropolitan area located on different sides of the Bosporus, City Lines asked Istanbul-based security systems integrator InfoMET Technologies to recommend video surveillance cameras to help keep passengers and the ferries safe and secure. The cameras would be required to cope with sea conditions as well as capture high resolution images day or night. “Having previously worked with Hanwha Techwin on a number of other projects, we were confident they would be able to provide cameras that would be able to withstand demanding conditions such as salt water and high levels of vibration,” said Oguzhan Kahraman, Project Engineer, InfoMET Technolo-

gies, “The pre-sales team for Hanwha Techwin in Turkey were extremely helpful and were able to recommend the best Wisenet camera models for each required camera location.” In addition to keeping a close eye on passengers, the Hanwha cameras are used to monitor the movement of some 2,000 vehicles which are transported daily. They also provide a valuable navigational tool for captains who use them to view blind spots that can’t be seen from the ship’s bridge. The majority of the 250 cameras installed are Wisenet QNO-7080Rs, which are part of the Wisenet Q series. These 4 Megapixel bullet cameras have built-in IR illumination for night viewing, and are packed with innovative features such as H.265 compression and WiseStream, a complementary compression technology that dynamically controls encoding, balancing quality and compression, according to movement in the image. When WiseStream is combined with H.265 compression, bandwidth efficiency is improved by up to 75% compared to current H.264 technology, making the SecurityLink India ■ May 2018

Wisenet Q series one of the most bandwidth friendly camera ranges available on the market. The QNO-7080R cameras also feature hallway view, true wide dynamic range, tamper detection, defocus detection, and lens distortion correction, to deliver optimized images in every situation. Hallway view provides a highly effective way to monitor narrow vertical areas such as corridors, tunnels and aisles. It enables cameras which can generate images in the 9:16x3:4 aspect ratio, to work effectively in tall and narrow spaces. “One of the biggest factors in choosing Wisenet cameras is they do not have any problems in the environments we operate,” said Cuneyt Danaci, IT Specialist for City Lines, “Equally important, whilst we did not want to compromise on quality, we needed cameras with a high price/ performance ratio. Wisenet came ahead of many other camera brands in respect of price, performance and technology. This is one of the reasons why we are thinking of working with Hanwha Techwin on other new projects in the future.” 61

Integrated security solution for Epping Forrest, London G

JD worked closely with the Basson Group, who is a leading provider of CCTV infrared and light enhancing cameras, to provide an integrated security system for Epping Forest in London. The forest, managed by the City of London Open Spaces department is London’s largest open area of approximately 6,000 acres of ancient woodland and is home to an abundance of wildlife.

Challenge

pping Forest required a full-scale security upgrade to replace out-dated intruder detectors and CCTV cameras. The key requirements included a cost effective, reliable and low energy security solution, without compromising on image quality and detection ability. This is of imperative importance as the City of London Open Spaces department relies on CCTV surveillance for security, visual management, coordination of staff and effective monitoring of visitors and facilities. In order to deter intruders, illumination at the forest is essential, especially at night as some areas are in total darkness. The nature of the site meant that light pollution had to be kept to an abso-

lute minimum, in order to avoid adverse impact to wildlife and the local environment. The detectors needed to be robust enough to be easily repositioned, if required at another area of the site. Another major specification was to ensure a low false alarm rate to avoid unnecessary disruptions.

Solution

fter careful consideration it was decided that GJD’s BS8418 compliant D-TECT X MKIII wireless detector offered the perfect solution. The DTECT X MKIII is compatible with most camera systems and features the very latest quad PIR sensor technology, a discreet internal antenna, long range wireless communications, programmable detection range and a tamper protected housing, making the detectors a robust and reliable choice for Epping Forrest. In total twenty wireless D-TECT X detectors were installed in conjunction with the D-TECT X Receiver. The use of GJD’s receiver made the installation much quicker for the professional installer. All the detectors were linked to the receiver before attending the site, which saved time on location as the detectors just had to be fitted to their preselected locations and then interconnected to the alarm panel via the D-TECT X receiver. The installer commented, “I selected GJD’s D-TECT detecSecurityLink India ■ May 2018

tors, as they have been used previously on numerous installations and I have found them to be the most reliable compared to other competitive brands.” Both 30m and 40m variants of the D-TECT X MKIII detector were selected in order to achieve extremely accurate areas of protection. The 30m versions provide a wide volumetric area of coverage, as the detection pattern can be adjusted from 8mx8m to 30mx30m. The 40m detectors were selected for when a narrow detection pattern is required and can be adjusted to provide an impressive narrow detection zone of 40mx4m or 40mx8m. The detectors effectively control and activate the newly installed Basson Group security cameras. Basson have upgraded the CCTV cameras with additional PTZ cameras, now totalling over 25 infrared cameras, comprising static cameras (IRB284VHQ) and PTZ cameras (IRB1-PTZ). These cameras were chosen because of their unrivalled infrared capabilities and the fact that the illuminators are separated from the camera, offering maintenance free operation and suitable for very dark environments.

Conclusion

he use of GJD detectors with Basson cameras have provided Epping Forrest with a seamless security solution and matches Epping Forrest’s requirements perfectly. Richard Barrell, Asset Management Officer at the City of London Epping Forrest Office commented, “I am very happy with the high level of security the integrated system provides.”

Long-distance video transmission

he use of network-based 4K technologies presents a challenge for applications that are not equipped to transmit large amounts of data over conventional IP infrastructure at long distances. Fortunately, the HDCVI standard enables analog video transmission at impressive distances without requiring the use of repeaters, and enables the transmission of video, audio and data all over a single RG6 coax cable. The technology enables transmission of 4K-quality video over coax of distances up to 700m (RG6), 500m (RG-59), or 300m using CAT6 cabling.

Wide area and improved audio

vailable in bullet, dome and eyeball form factors, the new A82A series of HDCVI 4K cameras are ideal for surveillance of large areas, capturing video with wide-angle overviews and multiple focus points while maintaining the ability to digitally zoom and focus on ﬁne details. The A82A series is equipped with broadcast quality audio. Plus, the Eyeball and Bullet models offer a built-in microphone.

Lower cost and flexibility

DCVI 4.0 technology lowers total cost of ownership (TCO) by leveraging existing infrastructure. By simplifying system design and mitigating rip-and-replacement costs to install new IP infrastructure, HDCVI 4.0 4K cameras can increase performance at a lower overall cost. Plus, the cameras feature a convenient multi-format video output cable on the camera’s pigtail to make switching between AHD, TVI and CVBS as well as existing HDCVI systems easy.

Data security

DCVI cameras do not transmit data over a network, allowing the video feeds from these devices to be better protected against hacking. For organizations that require a hardwired system to ensure data security, HDCVI 4K cameras deployed over coax infrastructure offer the ideal highresolution surveillance solution.

Updated infinias 6.3 Access Control Platform Award-winning, cost-effective access control solution introduces powerful new feature set

3 ●● ●● ●●

●●

xLOGIC, Inc., has recently announced its newest version of the company's access control solution, infinias 6.3. infinias 6.3 brings a number of powerful, new features: Advanced mobile credential: Alert some or all credential holders to sensitive information quickly and easily. New responsive user interface: Designed to deliver a superior user experience on all devices and platforms. Infinias CLOUD’s elevator control: Configuring for elevator control has never been easier for any number of elevator banks and cabs, and with support for up to 64 floors per bank/ cab. Integrated wireless locks: Integrated with Allegion’s Engage NDE series wireless locks.

●● Location services: Administrators can configure how close a user must be to a door to gain access, to ensure phone (credential) is present. The next generation of mobile credential is one of the most exciting features of this new release. 3xLOGIC’s mobile credential adds push notification, location services, multi-factor authentication (MFA) and upgrades to the default door page. Push notification is used to alert all credential holders of any events of significance such as school opening delays or lockdowns. Notifications can be sent ad hoc to a single person or group, or can use the industry-leading infinias Rules Engine for preconfigured notifications based on events. For example, receive a notification when a door is forced between 6pm and 6am. Location services add two new capabilities – when a user brings up the app, the three nearest doors are shown automatically on the home page making the app more convenient, and administrators can also configure how close a user has to be to a door to gain access to ensure the phone is present. Privileges can now be configured to require MFA and if so, a user will have to either already have or establish an unlock passcode/ biometric/ gesture/ pin, thus adding ‘something you are’ or ‘something you know’ authentication forms to the existing ‘something you have’ (the credential) for increased security. “Unlike other offerings that require expensive proprietary readers, 3xLOGIC’s mobile credential application is agnostic to any reader on the infinias server and can even work in a reader-less environment, because the application communicates directly to the server to trigger logic,” said Wayne Jared, 3xLOGIC VP of Engineering.

Multi-Sensor IP Camera Line-Up New offerings showcase added range of Dahua Technology’s security solutions

ahua Technology, a leading video surveillance solutions provider has showcased a new line of multisensor IP cameras incorporating the latest technology advancements at ISC West 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. Solidifying Dahua Technology’s strong commitment to its customers, they introduced three state-of-theart multi-sensor options providing better image resolution, application customization and improved total cost of ownership for the consumer (TCO). Delivering the ultimate performance in panoramic camera offerings, the panoramic multi-sensor bullet camera (DH-IPC-PF83230N-A180) houses four individual 8MP sensors with 4.5mm lenses. Providing the same coverage that would typically be provided by multiple standard cameras in the same setting, the multi-sensor minimizes maintenance, cabling and support costs, as well as installation time. The camera delivers a single stitched 180-degree panoramic view without distortion, and can display four individual HD views at the same time. These cameras are well suited for education, retail and both commercial and residential verticals where higher resolution at an affordable price is a crucial objective. The second multi-sensor camera (DH-IPC-PDBW5831N-B360) offers four individual 2MP sensors, each with a vari-focal 3-8mm motorized lens. This innovative flexible multi-sensor camera allows the four sensors to be independently positioned anywhere on the track for enhanced customization, and requires only one Ethernet and one power supply cable, thus minimizing maintenance, cabling, support costs and installation time.

The IPC-PDBW5831N-B360 is an ideal solution for casinos, banks, retail spaces, and commercial/ residential areas where multiple scenes must be monitored simultaneously. The third multi-sensor camera (DH-IPC-HDBW4231FN-E2) features dual low-light 2MP sensors each with a 2.8mm lens and integrated smart IR up to 65ft (20m). This camera is perfect for a long hallway, corridor or the entrance to a building for capturing details from both directions. The camera allows the end user to minimize maintenance, cabling, and support costs, as well as installation time. This multi-sensor camera is ideal for locations where a customized solution is needed for the safety of at-risk occupants is essential such as educational, correctional, commercial and residential verticals. Most of the new multi-sensor cameras offer True Wide Dynamic Range (120 dB) (all except for PF83230), a true day/ night IR cut filter, H.265 and H.264 dual codecs, and built-in intelligent video system (IVS) analytics (all except for PF83230), all enclosed by an IP67rated weather-resistant housing. “Dahua Technology continues to strive to identify customer challenges and develop new technology that brings these solutions to the US market.

Security Market Survey Highlights Needs for Intelligent, Flexible Video Surveillance Solutions

elco by Schneider Electric recently surveyed 489 end-users within the surveillance industry about their surveillance needs and where they see the industry headed. The survey analyzed how end-users view their current surveillance systems and the expectations they have for emerging technologies.

Key findings

he study revealed significant and valuable insights into the current state of the video surveillance market, and how users rate their existing systems and market offerings in terms of meeting their business needs. Here are five of the top findings of the study: ●● One-third of end-users believe that integration between disparate systems is their most significant security challenge today. ●● Forty-four percent of end-users believe their current surveillance technology isn’t sufficient for 2020. ●● One in every three end-users thinks artificial intelligence will make the most significant impact on the surveillance industry by 2020. ●● Sixty-four percent of end-users plan to prioritize predictive analytics in the next few years. ●● Over half of those surveyed say they use their surveillance system to meet current business challenges, but haven’t seen it reach its full potential. 78

Many surveillance systems aren’t meeting current needs

hile parts of the security market may develop over a more extended period, the technology of video surveillance has been rapidly changing for at least the last ten years and shows no indication of slowing down. These technical advances mean that new capabilities are regularly introduced into the market to improve overall system performance and/or to provide specific solutions to current surveillance challenges. For this discussion, we will consider systems that have been installed within the last five years using the avaliable technology at the time of installation to be ‘current,’ while knowing that even within the most recent two years many new features and functionalities have become available. Systems installed more than five years ago may continue to function and meet some business purposes, but due to this rapid rate of enhancements, they can no longer be considered current.

Half of surveillance systems are out of date

y this measure, the survey reveals that half (49%) of existing surveillance system installations are functionally out of date because they were installed more than five years ago. A significant portion of these (19% of the total) were installed more than ten years ago – a lifetime in terms of available camera technology. SecurityLink India ■ May 2018

The quick pace of technology systems is evident in security managers concerns. Of the respondents, 33% reported that their biggest technology challenge is their equipment becoming outdated. The fraction was higher for users with older systems, installed 10 or more years ago, at 44%. The next biggest technology challenge was integrating surveillance cameras with the rest of the security systems, reported by 29% of respondents (slightly higher for respondents with newer systems – 33%). Other technical challenges lagged behind these two.

Integration remains a broad challenge

espondents gave a clear message when they were asked to identify their biggest security challenge – the top answer at 34% was ‘integration between disparate systems,’ and this concern was consistent across all end-user categories. This answer is interesting because the concept of integrating security systems is somewhat new. In the past, an organization’s video surveillance system stood apart from the access control system, parking lot gates, time and attendance system, and others. As these systems have undergone technology improvements, and the data and intelligence of these systems become more available for integration using internal networks as well as cloud-based services, the potential for integration has emerged and increased. The high recognition of this potential and its

white paper

characterization as a challenge indicates a high market readiness for improved integration techniques, products and services.

Surveillance trends for 2020

hile it is always a challenge to predict the future, budget cycles and organizational planning do encourage security managers to think about how to prepare for the future. Part of that process is evaluating current and emerging technologies to determine which are most likely to address future challenges. Given the high change rate of technology mentioned earlier, it is not surprising that more than two-thirds of the study respondents (68%) are not convinced that their current security technology will be sufficient to address their needs in 2020, which is barely two years away.

Users want predictive analytics

ne thing the end-user respondents are sure about the future is that predictive analytics will be a priority. A full 64% reported they would be prioritizing these technologies going forward, and 35% said it would be a high priority. During the last year, panoramic cameras and predictive analytics were the top two security trend topics that caught the attention of end-user respondents – with 50% and 38% respectively. Other topics caught the attention of 29% or fewer respondents.

IoT and AI moving mainstream

tudy respondents also think that some emerging technologies that were not explicitly designed for security will nonetheless become relevant to the security market shortly.

In particular, 54% of the end-users believe that the Internet of Things, or IoT, will be mainstream surveillance technology by 2020, and one third (33%) say that Artificial Intelligence, or AI, will make the most significant impact on the surveillance industry by 2020. Close behind, 32% say automation will make the most significant impact. Together, these results again indicate a willingness on the part of end-user respondents to accept and incorporate emerging technologies into their security programs, and they are optimistic about the development, testing and deployment timetables.

Surveillance: More than security

ecurity end-users have heard and understood stories about companies using video surveillance footage for additional business purposes. For example, it’s known that national retailers use video cameras in their stores not only to combat theft and fraud but also to gauge the effectiveness of marketing programs and in-store product displays. Respondents in this study appear to have incorporated these ideas into their security system expectations, even if the results haven’t come as of yet. 51% of surveillance professionals said that by 2020, other departments such as marketing and operations would use video surveillance to help make business decisions. The advent of automated analytics such as heat maps, automatic loitering detection, and similar functions make the data collection tasks much more manageable and brings the SecurityLink India ■ May 2018

data closer to useful intelligence, which should further increase adoption and use. In a related question, 54% reported already using video surveillance for operational purposes, and another 12% planning to introduce that initiative soon. Of the 54% that have already implemented some operational uses, most report that the full potential is yet to be realized, while 19% say that they have seen ‘proven results.’ These responses further support the evidence that end-users are confident that the new technologies will provide benefits and are trying out, or at least will experiment with, operational scenarios. As specific solutions prove successful, we expect them to spread within market verticals and trigger additional sales opportunities.

Recommendations

ased on interpreting the responses collected in this study, and the associated findings, there are several recommendations for video surveillance integrators and providers going forward. ●● Prioritize offering an easy-to-use system for smaller users, to make it easier to implement and scale, particularly if the upgrade path is clear. ●● Implementing even basic automation/ analytics reduces the need for dedicated security monitoring and staff. Alerts can be set to trigger attention when needed, while the video is available for review if an incident occurs. ●● Make sure to consider the non-security benefits including liability reduction, marketing information etc., that may offset costs of a security system and bring additional business value. ●● A full solution provider, with confirmed testing and compatibility of system elements, is the lowest risk and most effective approach. 79

s part of the INTERPOL 2020 reform agenda, Heads of NCB

are being briefed on planned changes in policing capabilities, and best practice on how INTERPOL and its member countries use new technology and capabilities for state-of-the-art police work. Over the period of three days (10 – 12 April), delegates reviewed new INTERPOL projects aimed at preparing the world’s police for the crime challenges of tomorrow, including: ●● The use of artificial intelligence in modern policing tools. ●● Digital witness programmes. ●● Facial recognition and biometric identification capabilities. ●● Collection of biometrics for inmates convicted for terrorism related offences. ●● Online training platforms and translating tools.

An evolving police organization

“

At INTERPOL, there will never be a one-size-fits-all approach to the way we serve our member countries, which is why we tailor our capabilities to meet NCB imperatives,” said Jürgen Stock, Secretary General, INTERPOL. In this respect, INTERPOL has redesigned its operational framework to include three global programmes against terrorism, organized crime and cybercrime, with characteristics and solutions tailored to each region. “We are moving into a new era – one in which INTERPOL is the straSecurityLink India ■ May 2018

tegic bridge between law enforcement and other domains, where INTERPOL is the hub for regional security actors, and in which access to INTERPOL’s global network is propagated to frontline officers in our member countries.” “In this evolution of how INTERPOL delivers its policing capabilities, our NCBs remain absolutely central in guiding our efforts and deploying our capabilities throughout the membership,” added the Head of INTERPOL.

Making police data move faster than criminals

estimony to the importance of innovation and constant modernization in policing are INTERPOL’s network projects currently boosting NCB capability across the globe: ●● I-ONE: Modernizing African NCBs so they can share and receive police information and give frontline police at border crossings the capacity to better detect criminals or criminal activity. ●● Twinning: A resourceful way of capitalizing on existing resources, abilities and skillsets, INTERPOL has launched a programme permitting NCBs to draw on each other’s assets and operate at top capacity regardless of geography, financial capacity or degree of development.

International Updates

●● With INTERPOL database queried 180 times every second over its secure global police communications system I-24/7, INTERPOL’s global database and network are amongst the most advanced capabilities the organization provides member countries to prevent and investigate crime. Illustrating how fast INTERPOL

is growing to face ever-accelerating change, delegates heard that the number of searches from INTERPOL’s wanted persons database has increased from 450 thousand a year in 2005 to 3.9 million a day in 2017. They also heard that INTERPOL’s stolen and lost travel documents database has expanded from 8 million in 2005 to more than 74 million today.

Firms that do not comply with this stipulation risk fines, or worse, reputational damage if market abuse goes undetected. To address this, NICE Actimize has enhanced its market surveillance solution to help firms comply with the MiFID II microsecond requirement, while improving firms' ability to detect and mitigate market abuse. High frequency trading (HFT), a type of trading that uses computers to execute large volumes of orders at very fast speeds, is prone to market manipulation because programs and algorithms can be easily altered by a single ‘bad actor' with malicious intentions. While the volume and velocity of high-speed, automated trading can make market abuse more

difficult to detect, the resulting impact can be extremely damaging. Small price manipulations can net enormous profits for an unscrupulous individual over condensed time periods. MiFID II’s microsecond requirement was created to address this very problem. NICE Actimize’s markets surveillance solution enables firms to adhere to the MiFID II microsecond requirement by: ●● Ingesting transactional and trade records from order management and execution management systems at the microsecond level for all high frequency trades, and; ●● Analyzing high frequency trading data at the microsecond level to detect market abuse. The solution uses NICE Actimize’s best-in-class detection analytics (e.g., for insider trading, ramping, spoofing, layering, quote stuffing, momentum ignition, front running etc.), and because the analytics are run on data captured at the microsecond level, detection accuracy is increased while false positives are reduced. “Because high frequency trading is executed in extremely high volumes at extremely rapid speeds, it really demands greater granularity and precision with respect to monitoring transactions,” said Chris Wooten, Executive Vice President, NICE, “With NICE Actimize’s market surveillance solution, firms can have complete confidence in their ability to comply with the MiFID II microsecond requirement around monitoring high frequency trades, while safeguarding their firms’ reputations from the scourge of market abuse.”

Aviation Cyber Security Services F-Secure’s new service combines expertise in aviation and cyber security to help aviation companies protect their most critical assets

rust is everything in the aviation industry. A successful cyber attack – even a minor one against something like an in-flight entertainment system – could undermine confidence in airlines or even the entire aviation industry. That’s why global cyber security provider F-Secure has launched a specialized Aviation Cyber Security Services offering that’s designed to help airlines and similar organizations protect their aircraft, infrastructure, data and reputations. Cyber security has emerged as a significant issue for many industries, including those working in aviation. 85 percent of airline CEOs identified cyber security as a significant risk in a 2015 survey. While many industries have been dealing with data breaches and cyber attacks for many years, FSecure’s Hugo Teso says that changes in the aviation industry bring new risks for the airlines. “Off-the-shelf communication technologies are finding their way into aircraft, which makes security much more complicated than in the past,” said Teso, a former pilot and current head of F-Secure’s Aviation Cyber Security Services, “Because these off-the-shelf technologies weren’t necessarily created to meet the rigorous safety requirements of airlines, the aviation industry is making cyber security a top priority. But they need a partner that understands both cyber security and the details of airline operations, because it’s an industry where those details make a big difference.” F-Secure’s Aviation Cyber Security Services was designed to help airlines and other companies working in aviation secure their operations from the ground up. It integrates

security assessments of avionics, ground systems and data links, vulnerability scanners, security monitoring, incident response services, and specialized cyber security trainings for IT managers as well as cabin and cockpit crews, into a single package that helps airlines harden their operations against cyber attacks. Security assessments play a vital role in aviation cyber security by flagging potential issues before airlines or manufacturers who attempt to certify devices or services for use. Security assessments can focus on individual components such as specific pieces of hardware and software, or broader issues such as how different systems interact with one another in an entire aircraft program. F-Secure’s head of Hardware Security Andrea Barisani works with a team of experts that has nearly a decade of experience in performing security assessments for avionics and aircraft manufacturers, and places particular focus on designing and verifying data diodes which is a defense mechanism that mitigates worst case scenarios by restricting how an aircraft’s systems can communicate with one another. “A key issue we help organizations with is how to protect an aircraft’s safety-critical systems from compromises in systems that are, in a sense, more exposed but less significant to an airplane’s operations,” said Barisani, “A key protection measure is separating systems into different ‘trust domains,’ and then controlling how systems in different domains can interact with one another. This prevents security issues in one domain, like a Wi-Fi service accessible to passengers, from affecting safety-critical systems, like aircraft controls or air to ground datalinks.” But the service isn’t limited to simply assessing different technologies or components. According to Teso, the offering aims to help airlines achieve long term security for all their operations and systems. “In aviation, trust is everything, and airlines know that if they lose trust they lose business. And even though cyber security is a relatively new concern for them, they understand that they need to get on top of problems right away and stay ahead of potential issues as technologies, operations, and threats evolve,” said Teso, “The overlap between security and safety is 100 percent clear to airlines, so even an attack that’s not intended to affect the safety of an aircraft in reality – like hacking into a database to steal passenger data – is an unacceptable risk that threatens to undermine customer confidence in other operations.”

HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX Scanner Granted EDS CB C2 Approval Ground breaking scanner allows electronic devices to stay in bags

miths Detection releases its first checkpoint scanner with innovative Computed Tomography (CT) technology, following approval by ECAC for EDS CB C2 – testing for C3 will follow swiftly. CT is a complete game-changer for checkpoint security as, using the company’s proprietary technology, the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX can allow electronic devices to stay in bags, addressing the three critical issues for airport operators: security, efficiency and passenger experience. Delivering improved productivity, higher throughput and lower costs, this impressive scanner eliminates the need to remove electronic devices from hand luggage (subject to approval from the appropriate local authorities). This reduces the number of trays per person and makes the whole process simpler and shorter – a move sure to please the travelling public. Baggage contents are examined from every angle and 3D images are generated with very precise data so more accurate judgements can be made on substances within the bag. “The future really is here for checkpoint security,” observed Matt Clark, VP Technology & Product Development, “Integrating the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX into a smart checkpoint with the latest lane design and software will revolutionise the screening process and passenger experience. And we can also look beyond the C3 hurdle as CT is also the only technology likely to meet a potential, higher C4 standard. Before long, new algorithms may well be used to identify a range of additional prohibited items and materials.” To minimise upgrade costs, the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX can easily be incorporated into existing checkpoint lanes. The addition of an advanced screening and management platform such as Smiths Detection’s Checkpoint. Evoplus, will streamline operations even further by providing remote screening and directed search; as well as providing access to valuable management data.
