ISO 9001-2015 CERTIFIED

Dear Readers,

Editor-in-Chief Santosh Pathak

Greetings from SecurityLink India! Atop intense protracted debates by the folks for and against the subject, the Supreme Court of India upheld that the Aadhaar scheme is constitutionally valid – sans certain provisions of the Aadhaar Act. ‘Aadhaar’ has become the most talked about expression in recent years. It is described as a ‘Unique Identity,’ for various obvious reasons. UIDAI claims that it is a foolproof method of identifying a person that can help him enter into any transaction with no requirement of any other document in support. Aadhaar scheme was conceptualized in 2006, and launched in 2009 with the creation of UIDAI. It has secured the enrollment of nearly 1.1 billion people. The use of Aadhaar has spread like wildfire thanks to the robust and aggressive campaigning done by the Government and pertinent government bodies who boast of multiple benefits of Aadhaar.

Principal Consultant Pritam Singh Mehta SecurityLink India Registered Office H-187/5, First Floor Jeevan Nagar Market, Kilokari (Near Maharani Bagh) New Delhi - 110014 Phone: +91 11 26342237 Telefax: +91 11 42828080

Conversely, the scheme and the architecture built thereupon have been receiving scathing criticism from a section of the society. According to them, Aadhaar is a serious invasion into the right to privacy of citizens and it has the tendency to lead to a surveillance state where each individual will be kept under surveillance by creating his/ her life profile.

E-mail: editor@securitylinkindia.com Website: www.securitylinkindia.com

However, a five-member constitution bench of the Supreme Court believes that there is nothing in the Aadhaar Act that violates the right to privacy of individuals. The Court observed that all matters pertaining to an individual do not qualify as being an inherent part of right to privacy. Only those matters over which there would be a reasonable expectation of privacy are protected by Article 21. It found that there are sufficient measures in place to protect data, and that it is difficult to undertake surveillance of citizens on the basis of just Aadhaar. Albeit, the Court also demanded the Government must introduce a ‘strong data protection law’ as soon as possible,which will help clear doubts in the minds of people and an environment of trust and confidence can be established.

Circulation Sanju Singh

The 12-digit UID number will continue to be mandatory for filing IT returns, applying for PAN, government welfare schemes etc. But the Court struck down Section 57 of the Act which permits private entities to avail Aadhaar data for their purposes. Now, applying for SIM cards, opening bank accounts, admission in educational institutions including CBSE, UGC etc., will not command Aadhaar identity. This, however, raises a question as to how data already shared with telecom companies, which is humongous, will be ensured to be retrieved or deleted. It will be interesting to see how the Government responds to this ruling. A scheme like Aadhaar is surely worthwhile for a country like India where corruption and black money are rampant, but judicious execution thereof is also inevitable. The Government must program a robust and failsafe course of action to comprehensively accomplish the objectives of Aadhaar, as well as safeguard the inherent rights of people. Till next month, stay safe and happy reading! With warm regards,

Cmde Sujeet Samaddar, Senior Consultant (Industry), NITI Aayog categorised the new age risks as business, economic, legal and compliance, and technology risks. He underlined the need for predictability, credibility and stability of the legal and compliance regimes in order to make businesses viable and sustainable. The biggest risk to business is to take the business-as-usual approach rather than a transformational and disruptive one. “The new digital environment and the multiplication of technological options have raised challenges and risks for which businesses should prepare themselves,” said Rahul Chaudhry, Chair,

ICCI has recently released the seventh edition of FICCI-Pinkerton ‘India Risk Survey 2018 Report.’ Speaking on the occasion, Madhur Verma, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Delhi underscored the need for a regulatory mechanism to facilitate access of information for detection of crimes perpetrated through the misuse of social media. Mr. Verma said, “Businesses today, especially those engaged in international operations, have to contend with cybercrimes relating to transfer of money through fake e-mails, and this throws up a huge challenge for the enforcement agencies in detecting frauds.” He added that the Delhi Police had created a separate cell for dealing with cybercrimes and was trying to create awareness on the nature and the enormity

Pinkerton utilises a data driven comprehensive approach to corporate risk management, aiming to use tools like artificial intelligence to anticipate risks, their probability and their potential impact to businesses.” According to Venkat Ramana, CoFounder & Director, Valuepitch E Technologies, “The crime rate in India can be lowered with the help of technology and training. Discovering previous antecedents along with real time situation monitoring without invading privacy is the challenge that needs to be addressed.”

Organizations Must Emphasize on Visibility to Stay Ahead of Real World Threats

kybox Security recently participated in the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit 2018 in Mumbai. Starting with the keynote speaker and during the technical sessions, it was clear that the common theme throughout the Summit was the need to understand the risks that are important, dangerous and real to organizations. Rather than looking at the overwhelming and ever-increasing number of threats, the focus should be on identifying those that pose a real risk to the business and knowing the right patching and preventive controls to mitigate them. To do this there is a need to create visibility into assets and eco-system, or what is now called as ‘your attack surface.’ In order to see the attack surface, one has to understand the many layers that create it. To some, the attack surface has only been thought of in terms of vulnerabilities. But there are other factors that put an organization at risk, and they must be analyzed in connection with other attack vectors, the context of a unique network and the potential impact if they are exploited. To holistically visualize and understand the attack surface and provide context to security risks, a solution needs to consider: ●● Topology: By comprehensively mapping all systems, devices and network segments as well as the paths between them, the interdependencies of the network affecting risk exposures becomes more apparent. Effective solutions need to incorporate servers, endpoints, networks (including clouds), networking devices and security devices (physical and virtual) into a visual model. ●● Indicators of exposure (IoEs): IoEs highlight a system, device or network that is exposed to a potential attack. It helps secure the organization before an attack occurs. IoEs include software vulnerabilities, mis-configurations and missing security controls, overly permissive rules  It’s time to harness the power of analytics, modelling and violations of security policies and compliance rules. and simulation to improve attack surface visualization.

GS108LP Unmanaged PoE Switch With 8 Gigabit Port Launched in India ETGEAR®, Inc., a leading provider of networking equipment for homes and small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) has introduced GS108LP Gigabit Ethernet switch – housing 8 Gigabit copper ports in a desktop metal case which is also wall-mountable.

Small business has been leveraging switches for some time, but now home offices and even smart homes need to be using them as more and more devices are connected with things such as VoIP phones, IP security cameras, video-over-IP endpoints, sensors, LED lighting, secure access door locks, and other IoT devices. A lot of these new devices either require PoE or users prefer PoE to cut down on wiring. Some of the new generations of devices (Wave 2 802.11ac wireless access points and pan-tilt-zoom HD surveillance cameras) require PoE+ power. But what is most unique about these plug-and-play switches is that they have a built-in intuitive power selector and support optional interchangeable external power supplies that allow the user to easily increase PoE budget at any time to provide the devices with the power they need. With this industry-unique feature in an unmanaged switch, he can start with a lower PoE budget and then cost-effectively increase it at any time, to grow along with the business needs. If the business has to power more medium to high-power devices in the future, it can easily be upgraded just by changing the external power supply. If the users

trols in place to detect and prevent these e-mail attacks.” To help ensure email security, Fortinet’s cybersecurity experts advised users to: 1. Filter spam: Because most email scams begin with unsolicited commercial email, one should take measures to prevent spam from getting into the mailbox. Most email applications and web mail services include spam-filtering features, or ways in which email applications can be configured to filter spam. 2. Regard unsolicited email with suspicion: Don’t automatically trust any email sent by an unknown individual or organization. Never open an attachment to unsolicited email. Most importantly, never click on an unknown link in an email. Cleverly crafted links can take users to forged web sites set up to trick them into divulging private information, or downloading viruses, spyware and other malicious software. 3. Treat email attachments with caution: Email attachments are commonly used by online scammers to sneak a virus onto computers. These viruses can help the scammer steal important information from the computer, compromising the computer so

SecurityLink India ■ October 2018

ortinet reminds corporate users in India that email remains one of the most vulnerable vectors targeted by cybercriminals. The cyberattacks are likely to happen to organizations that have yet to implement strong email security controls and best practices. According to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations report, twothirds of installed malware are actually delivered by email. To gain access into an organization’s network, cybercriminals often use phishing or social engineering techniques in emails, thus counting on human error, or a lack of cybersecurity know-how to trick users into providing login credentials or initiating fraudulent transactions, as well as to unknowingly install malware, ransomware and other malicious payloads. “Due to the ubiquity of email, it continues to be a common attack vector for cybercriminals seeking to steal login credentials, money and sensitive data,” said Rajesh Maurya, Regional Vice President, India & SAARC, Fortinet, “The top emailbased cyberattacks carried out by cybercriminals today include phishing or spear-phishing, man-in-themiddle attacks and zero-day vulnerabilities. Companies must therefore ensure they have strong security con-

that it is open to further attack and abuse, and convert a computer into a ‘bot’ for use in denial-of-service attacks and other online crimes. As noted above, a familiar ‘from’ address is no guarantee of safety because some viruses spread by first searching for all email addresses on an infected computer and then sending itself to these addresses. 4. Install antivirus software: Users should install an antivirus program that has an automatic update feature. This will help ensure users to always have the most up-to-date protection possible against viruses. 5. Install a personal Firewall and keep it up to date: A firewall will not prevent scam email from making its way into users’ mailbox. However, it may help protect users should they inadvertently open a virus-bearing attachment or otherwise introduce malware to their computer. The firewall, among other things, will help prevent outbound traffic from a user’s computer to the attacker. When a personal firewall detects suspicious outbound communications from a user’s computer, it could be a sign that the user has inadvertently installed malicious programs on his computer.

Pledges Support to Public Walk Donation Campaign for Safer Roads

afety on Indian roads has taken on a new meaning with the ‘longest and largest walkathon’ from Kanyakumari to Kashmir by Subramanian ‘Subu’ Narayanan, Member Club D2S, the lead walker, who recently reached Delhi-NCR. Speaking at an interactive session on ‘1 Crore Steps for Safer Roads’ under the National Road Safety Campaign organised by FICCI in association with Club D2S, SIAM, Mr. Narayanan said, “When we make the roads safer, and when more people can walk, use of private vehicles will come down for short distances and roads will become even safer. I am on a mission to raise public awareness about the difficulty of pedestrians on Indian roads, which can lead to urgent action for creating a robust and systematic approach to road safety. I appeal to all to join me to support this cause.”

The unique national campaign of 1 Crore Steps for Safer Roads – ‘Public Walk Donation’ got a new lease from two mega walkathons – one on 22 September from Tau Devi Lal Stadium in Gurgaon and the second on 24 September 2018 from Sector 11, Dwarka, where thousands of participants from schools, colleges, corporates and other institutes were expected to join the walk. The campaign is supported by many of India’s apex organisations including FICCI. As a measure of its demonstration of support to the cause of road safety, FICCI employees walked 1.8 kms around the vicinity of Federation House, a distance covered in 23 minutes. Ramashankar Pandey, President, Central Working Committee of the NGO, Drive Smart, Drive Safe, and Managing Director, HELLA India Lighting Ltd.

said, “The latest data on road accidents in India is very alarming. With one death every four minutes and an accident every minute, the situation is critical and cannot be left unattended for long. Hence our team member, ‘Subu’ is taking the challenge to appeal to all Indians to join this national movement and donate their walk on www.onecroresteps.com to give this cause the highest priority.” Dilip Chenoy, Secretary General, FICCI said, “Ensuring road safety is a collective effort and the message here is that if each one takes a step, it can motivate others towards the collective goal of road safety. FICCI is supporting the walkathon from Kanyakumari to Kashmir which is aimed at creating, increasing and infusing pedestrian safety awareness, and we will take the message across our members for their support.”

INDIA RISK SURVEY 2018 I

ndia continues to position itself as an attractive hub for investments from foreign players with an expanding economy and a steady gross domestic product (GDP) growing annually at 7.1%. International forums have indicated that the ease of doing business in India has improved significantly. Pro-investor policies have been implanted by the government to further bolster Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position in the international market. Through several flagship programmes, the government is striving to promote manufacturing activity locally. Foreign investment and IT-powered infrastructure continue to be developed to further enable support for logistically robust and multi-nodal networks. Emerging possibilities of growth implies risks across all sectors. Companies should expect an array of challenges in business operations in India. A lack of preparation against risk mitigation could result in financial and operational functions. The Government of India continues to make attempts at ensuring that bilateral and multilateral relations remain friendly for businesses to conduct operations. As India prepares itself, as a nation, for another round of general elections in 2019, there has emerged a certain amount of uncertainty regarding business policies and existing schemes. With the upcoming elections in 2019, it is likely that policy change may affect business continuity. A holistic risk-management strategy would assist businesses to anticipate and prepare against emerging and existing risks, thereby, allowing a company to mitigate such risks.

The India Risk Survey consists of 12 risks that indicate the most significant threats to business operations and development in India. Each risk is assessed individually, which provides a deeper and more holistic understanding, based on the Pinkerton Risk Wheel. The Pinkerton Risk Wheel frames risk into four broad categories which can help understand not only the different threats that can impact business continuity, but the inter connectivity of risks as a whole. Threats categorized in one risk area ultimately can impact the other risk areas. The risks wheel is divided into four quadrants – Hazard & Event Risk (natural hazards, terrorism & insurgency, crime and fire), Operational and Physical Risk (strikes and unrest, threats to women safety, accidents and infrastructure risk), Market and Economic Risk (political and government instability, corruption, bribery, fraud, and legal regulatory risk), and Technology and Information Risk (information and cyber insecurity, intellectual property theft and business espionage).

report

The India Risk Survey (IRS) aims to measure and quantify the different risks that organizations face when conducting operations in India. The constantly evolving nature of risks compels organizations to safeguard their operations and develop innovative strategies to predict threats. In this seventh edition, IRS 2018 aims to delve deeper into all facets of risks to identify the most prevalent threats under each risk category. Through deliberations with policy makers and industry stakeholders across sectors, each year emerging risks are also identified. The IRS 2018 states infrastructure risks, occupational hazards at workplace and legal regulatory risk as the emerging risks of 2018. In today’s time, policy makers and business leaders can truly fulfil their role by timely anticipating risks. On behalf of Pinkerton, I sincerely hope that the India Risk Survey 2018 report will assist the industry, as well as the government decision makers to assess the impact of these risks and develop preventive strategies to mitigate them. – Rohit Karnatak, Managing Director – India, APAC & EMEA - Global Screening, Pinkerton

Overall Risk Trends – 2018

ndia Risk Survey 2018 also provides the most significant threat types within each risk for a comprehensive reading of each threat-vector as part of a larger reality. The threats are interconnected and overlap across domains, sectors and geographies. In the 2018 edition, new risks have been identified on the basis of this year’s survey, which include infrastructure risk, occupational hazards at workplace, and legal regulatory risks. Information and Cyber Insecurity remains at the top position in the India Risk Survey 2018. Considering the importance of cyber critical infrastructure, the vulnerabilities attached to it remain largely underlined in the Survey. Services in India are quickly moving towards digitization. While this could be perceived as a step towards rapid development in various sectors, it also presents risks in which malicious activity can be easily carried out, posing a significant threat to sensitive data. The India Risk Survey 2018 focuses on four major risks posed by Information and Cyber Insecurity. These are data theft, compliance and regulatory incidents, cyber infrastructure attacks, and impersonations. Amongst these, data theft, phishing, and hacktivism emerged as the biggest threat. With India becoming a key destination for businesses and foreign investment, a more serious focus should be directed to create a robust security mechanism to address these challenges. Natural Hazards ranks as the second biggest risk to business operations in the India Risk Survey 2018. As per the findings, floods pose the biggest threat to business op46

erations. Inadequate infrastructure and maintenance by concerned bodies remain a primary factor that would allow natural hazards to pose serious risks to business operations. Further, a lack of preparedness and early warning systems has contributed to making Natural Hazards a risk that should be considered with more seriousness. Outbreak of fire ranks at third position with numerous fire accidents in the current year, causing significant loss of life and property. Non-compliance with safety norms in factories and high-rises in addition to the under-equipped fire services in India has led to an alarming number of accidents year-on-year. While the government and other regulatory bodies have prescribed norms and fire safety measures, implementation and vigilance continue to be a concern. Risks that emanate from Terrorism and Insurgency show a significant drop to the fourth position. While there has been a marked decrease in fatalities, it has been found that there has also been a rise in the number of alleged terrorist attacks in the country. Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) remains a severe threat, posing security risks mainly to logistical operations. While the Islamic State (IS) has been relatively controlled on a global scale, the potential of IS sleeper cells remains a big threat. The Government of India continues to push concentrated efforts to holistically counter the threats of terrorism and insurgency – internal as well as external. India continues to strengthen its domestic capabilities in hostile regions and at the borders. Simultaneously, the government is also strengthening ties on bilateral and multilateral platforms to tackle the risks posed by terrorism to ensure that

business operations and personnel are secure and safe. Political & Governance Instability’ ranks fifth position this year. The Survey finds that certain policy changes are perceived as a threat under this risk category. It is assessed that the general elections to be held across the country in 2019, led to a perception of increasing uncertainty, causing the risk to climb up one spot to number 5 position in 2018. This risk is closely observed by investors, foreign and domestic, and would impact business development and continuity plans for the economy as a whole. The survey finds that growing political instability has become a major cause for concern, which has resulted in violent clashes and unrests in several parts of the country. The implications posed by risks from Strikes, Closures, and Unrest, which is ranked sixth, have direct implications on financial losses incurred by businesses, and a slow-down in the business development. Further, the country’s reputation perceived as inhospitable for business to flourish also affects future prospects. Instability and threatening business operations directly impact the market by affecting investor confidence and increase in the risk premium assigned to securities in the country. The government continues to take steps to rectify situations by addressing worker disgruntlement through legal changes and reforms. According to the India Risk Survey 2018, Crime ranks on the seventh position. India is ranked 136 out of 163 countries in theRisk Global Peace Index 2018,Trends moving up just one Overall RankingYearly

position as compared to a jump of six positions in 2017. It is noted that the risk of crime in India has seen a steady decline over the last few years. The government and police have made use of social media and digital platforms to reach more people and ensure more efficient policing. Various police departments have taken to using social media as a tool for crime prevention. The India Risk Survey 2018 finds that threats to security and safety posed by violent crimes such as kidnapping and murder, are the biggest risk to company personnel. ‘Corruption, Bribery & Corporate Fraud’ continues to be one of the biggest risks faced by businesses in India, which ranks eighth in the India Risk Survey 2018. The perception of the risk has fallen with India incorporating economic reforms to ensure that global investors are appeased. According to the World Bank’s Doing Business 2018 rankings, India has jumped from 130 in 2017 to 100 in 2018 out of 189 countries. ‘Corruption, Bribery & Corporate Fraud’ as a risk, however, continues to hinder growth and cause disruptions in progress. It dissuades potential investors and diminishes the growth opportunities of existing players. Investors have called for better corporate governance and more stringent regulation of business corporations. Business Espionage remains in the ninth position in the India Risk Survey 2018. As per the Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index 2017, India ranks 81 with a score of 40. This is in contrast to a ranking of 79 in in

Risks to business establishments are detrimental to the growth and development of any country. The nature of risks globally has changed enormously, and with their occurrences becoming more unexpected and their effects becoming more profound, risks need to be taken more seriously. Further, due to rapid digital transformation of businesses, underlying infrastructure is becoming more complex. In these changing times it is critical to understand emerging risks. Knowledge about impending risks can benefit businesses, especially MSMEs and start-ups, so that they could take well-informed decisions. The seventh edition of the India Risk Survey is based on a comprehensive survey spanning across several sectors of the economy and geographical regions of India. This survey is an endeavor to examine and evaluate the potentially destructive risks to business undertakings in India. – Dilip Chenoy, Secretary General, FICCI 2016, also with a score of 40. While the India Risk Survey 2018 places Business Espionage on the ninth spot, business developers and investors should remain focused on the risks associated with it, which should be mitigated at all costs. Due to the sensitive nature of critical infrastructures of businesses today, particularly the cyber-domain, business espionage is becoming increasingly more sophisticated and more covert. Hence, detecting and mitigating the risks involved becomes more difficult. Threats to women safety ranks tenth in India Risk Survey 2018. Harassment of women in the workplace is assessed as a growing risk faced by businesses in India. The prevention of sexual harassment in the work place is a responsibility that has to be largely borne by the employer. Corporates, in their own best interests, should streamline and strengthen their internal policies on sexual harassment. The India Risk Survey finds that ‘Accidents’ climbs one spot to be at 11th position from 12th last year. The survey finds that traffic accidents have been the most significant threat within the risk. According to media sources, a report published on 10 January 2018, nearly 400 fatalities a day are caused by traffic accidents in India. The source further reported that the Government of India is attempting to curb the rising trend on Indian roads. The growing trend of fatalities caused by occupational accidents implies increased liability for business, particularly for the insurance sector. Injuries caused by occupational accidents can also impact operations with probable reduced productivity, lower sales, and possible disrupted business continuity. The India Risk Survey 2018 finds that risks associated 48

with Intellectual Property (IP) Theft ranks twelfth. While there has been a slip in its ranking, IP theft is still a threat that could significantly affect a brand name and reputation. With India’s IP policy coming closer to international norms, research and development have also seen an improvement.

Risk Categorization

T High

he IRS 2018 segregates risks into three categories, viz., Strategic, Operational and Safety risks. Strategic risks are those that impact directly the achievement of an organization’s business objectives. At the national level these are risks which have a grave impact on national security and its

survivability. Strategic risks are majorly determined by the top leadership of the organisation. Operational risks are defined as the probability of loss occurring from the internal inadequacies of an organisation or a breakdown in its controls, operations or procedures. Lastly, Safety risks are those risks which have the potential to jeopardise employee safety. These could be either internal or external or both. Employees being the critical assets to an organisation, any potential hazard or threat to their safety could affect business continuity. The graph on ‘categorisation of risk’ represents a particular risk that falls within the categories of either Strategic, Operational or Safety risks. The probability and impact of these risks illustrate their importance to the corporate sector. The categorisation is generic.

Hikvision Surveillance System Secures Ontario Car Dealership Using Innovative Off-Grid Platform

he Hikvision integrator Off Grid Surveillance Platforms (OGSP) installed the security system provided by Hikvision USA Inc., one of the top providers of artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics and other emerging technologies, and the leading supplier of video surveillance products and solutions, to secure a building during the remodelling process for Ajax Hyundai in Ontario, Canada. Ajax Hyundai in Ontario, a part of the Drive Auto Group in Canada, had plans to renovate a building down the street from its original location and rebrand the dealership. In the process of reconstruction, walls were opened and wires were cut, and

the building lost electricity. While under construction, the building housed new unsold vehicles and expensive construction equipment. The renovation process left the interior contents of the dealership vulnerable to theft during the construction process. As a result, Ajax Hyundai needed a surveillance solution that could function independently from the electric grid. “We have a long working relationship with OGSP, so when we required surveillance during construction, we knew exactly who to call,” said Sean Harris, General Manager for Ajax Hyundai, “I have four Hikvision dome cameras installed at my home which are paired with Hikvi-

sion DVRs, so I’m familiar with the video quality of Hikvision surveillance systems. It’s the unique installation from OGSP that left many of our employees astounded by the engineering feat.” This type of installation is OGSP’s expertise – surveillance systems that operate off the electrical grid using the sun to power video surveillance and live monitoring equipment. “There is a big issue in Canada with people trying to steal cable at construction sites and hydro installations, and people will harm themselves because there are live wires. To counter this problem, preventing injuries and even deaths and reduc-

ing construction site theft, I devised a more diverse system providing greater power with reliable, real-time monitoring, via third parties and superior area coverage,” said Jeff Mcilveen, Owner of OGSP.

Requirement

Mobile surveillance system with panoramic coverage

he building was open for business during the interior renovation, so Ajax Hyundai needed a surveillance system to function as a theft deterrent as well as monitor employee safety and protect equipment and vehicles. “It was important for us to have a panoramic view of the entire building and surrounding areas,” said Harris, “The off grid surveillance platform placed the Hikvision PTZ security cameras more than 24 feet in the air, so it can capture details from many blocks away. The platform looks very ‘official,’ and therefore serves as an effective theft deterrent.” “The surveillance system had to generate enough solar power to operate around the clock, using stored battery power for overnight use, with a generator as a backup power source,” said Mr. Mcilveen, “Hikvision’s high resolution and PTZ features provided the dealership with live viewing and recorded video in case of an incident.” The assistant service manager checks the cameras every morning when he gets in, and uses Hikvision’s iVMS-4200 app to check in remotely. Staff can review recorded footage, and by using motion-activated lights, they can determine if an event warrants further investigation.

Solution

Solar-powered surveillance equipped with Hikvision PTZ security cameras and a Hikvision NVR

ff Grid Surveillance Platforms recommended and installed four Hikvision DS-2DE4A220IWAE 2MP network PTZ dome camera with 20 times optical zoom, IR range 150 meters (~490 feet), IP66 rating and IK10 vandal protection. The PTZ cameras were installed at the top of a 24-foot base, with one camera facing each of the four corners. “I installed Hikvision PTZ cameras to ensure they were located in the center of a circle, to provide 360-degree coverage and full visibility,” said Mr. Mcilveen, “The compact size of Hikvision cameras helps, and I installed the cameras to be stationary and stable even with wind resistance, offering as much coverage as possible while being able to capture details such as license plates.” Hikvision cameras offer performance with compact size and weight, to balance the design. OGSP also installed a Hikvision DS-7604NI-E1 embedded plug & play NVR inside of the trailers with a capacity of 3 TB to store up to one month of video recordings.

Results

Panoramic surveillance and heightened security for building renovation

“

Hikvision camera resolution is phenomenal, and it is easy to check on our cameras using Hikvision’s iVMS-4200 app,” commented Mr. Harris, “Our staff was pretty impressed with the unique SecurityLink India ■ October 2018

OGSP configuration and kept saying ‘wow, you’ve got to see this thing.” Mr. Mcilveen added that weather posed a big challenge, with the Ontario area receiving lots of snowfall and temperatures routinely dropping as low as -20 degrees Celsius (-4 degrees Fahrenheit). “I had to determine how much power the system would need, estimating downtime for winter weather, and snow on solar panels. I visited the site every few days to remove snow from the panels,” said Mr. Mcilveen, “The Hikvision PTZ cameras are weatherproof and functioned perfectly in temperatures down to -30 degrees Celsius.” Hikvision PTZ cameras offer the best details to get results, because they can be adjusted and zoom in with astonishing detail. The OGSP installation provided 360-degree, panoramic surveillance that doubled as a theft deterrent, while giving the dealership the flexibility to zoom in for further detail, scan recorded video for footage, and check in remotely from Hikvision’s iVMS app via a smartphone or tablet. The system can also be live monitored by central stations 24/7 if required, trespassers can be requested to leave via active bullhorns, and police dispatch can be immediate.

Conclusion

“

Hikvision technology offers cost effective solutions that deliver the best image and video quality on the market. The diverse features and quality of the cameras is unmatched,” concluded Mr. Harris. 55

CP PLUS Secures Central Coalfields of Coal India Limited C

entral Coalfields Limited (CCL) is a subsidiary of Coal India Limited (CIL) which is the largest coal producer in the world. It is a Miniratna company with its coalfields located in Ramgarh district of Jharkhand. With a revenue of US$13 million (FY 2014-15), Coal India Limited (CIL) contributes about 84% of the coal production in India, and is owned and controlled by the Ministry of Coal, India. Subsidiaries of CIL include Eastern Coalfields Limited (ECL), Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL), Central Coalfields Limited (CCL), Western Coalfields Limited (WCL), South Eastern Coalfields Limited (SECL), Northern Coalfields Limited (NCL), and Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (MCL). CP PLUS was tasked for securing the Central Coalfields Limited. Coalfields usually run into kilometers and monitoring such vast stretches of land physically is hardly effective. In the case of Central Coalfields Limited, besides monitoring the vast expanse of fields, theft of coal from heaps and railway sidings that were collected just after mining, trespassing/ intrusion of unauthorized persons at the site, vigilance at the time of dispatch of sidings,

and monitoring of workers were also huge challenges.

Solution

he CCL management was clear about what they expected from the CCTV system. Besides round the clock vigilance within the premises, they required full optimization of cameras with a recording of 24 hours since the coalfields were in use 24/7, and video analytics for when there was no manned monitoring. After careful evaluation of the premise and consideration of the needs and requirements, a complete solution was designed. This included a combination of CP PLUS 2MP motorized zoom and PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras complete with CP PLUS NVRs for 24 hour recording, and advanced edge analytics such as intrusion detection, trip wire, and motion detection integrated with audio and alarm systems. Furthermore, it was ensured that the solution provided is scalable and can be easily upgraded as and when required. The region being a reSecurityLink India ■ October 2018

mote area of Jharkhand, system integrators faced resistance from the locals as well. However, with the assistance and support of the CCL authorities and the CISF personnel arranged by them, the installation was successfully completed.

Impact

he project was successfully implemented as per the client’s requirement. The solution provides the administration with a ready access to all sections of expanse at a click of the mouse. It also enhanced the overall safety and operational efficiency. The authorities were very satisfied with the results. They are now able to monitor the entire premise from one location, and send officials to inspect only when they would find something suspicious. Further, with the integrated advanced edge analytics, they are able to keep a vigil on the premise even when there is no one to monitor at the main station. “As an SI we feel privileged that Coal India Ltd. chose us to serve them and that we were able to meet their requirements and provide them satisfaction,” said Vasu Garg, GM, Smart Monitoring Innovations Private Limited.

Helps Create an Integrated Mobile Experience and

Enhances Security at New Skanska Office Complex in Warsaw

kanska, one of the world’s leading project development and construction groups with operations in Europe and North America selected and incorporated HID’s mobile solution for secure access to its new office complex in Warsaw. Powered by Seos®, HID Mobile Access® improves the user experience and increases security throughout the entire building – from the parking lot and elevators to areas with limited access to the public. Located at 173 Solidarności Avenue in Warsaw, the new Spark office complex is not only the new headquarters of Skanska, but a large part of the 70,000 square-meter office building has also been set aside for other tenants. Because the building is intended to be a mixedtenant space, it was crucial to restrict access to secure areas from unauthorized visitors. The Spark building was designed to enable mobile access so that employees can now use their smartphones to open doors and enter secure areas. Skanska, with help from system integrator Sharry Europe, created a new system for building occupants that integrates numerous building applications including HID Mobile Access. As a result, all building applications have been incorporated into an integrated mobile app, which marked an advancement in creating a more streamlined and convenient experience for the users. Both Spark building employees and

their guests can now move throughout the building with nothing more than a smartphone, without the risk of them gaining access to restricted areas – unless the proper access rights are granted. When users arrive at the door, they simply tap their iOS and Android™ devices to an iCLASS SE® reader using NearField Communications (NFC) or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and HID’s ‘twist and go’ feature to gain access from a distance. Any changes to the user’s access rights are remotely managed by the administrator through a cloudbased portal. “HID Mobile Access enhances the security for accessing our entire building. In one application, we have integrated all building applications such as parking, virtual reception and other Internet of Things functionality, bringSecurityLink India ■ October 2018

ing the whole user experience to a new level,” said Renata Nowakowska, Innovation Manager at Skanska. “One of the most pressing objectives for facility managers in smart buildings is to crack the code on how to enable as many building applications and services on mobile devices as possible in order to simplify how occupants move through a facility and interact with building services,” said Hilding Arrehed, Vice President of Cloud Services, Physical Access Control, HID Global, “Skanska’s integration of HID Mobile Access into their mobile platform is a perfect example of how organizations are leveraging the power of mobile credentials and the cloud to realize the full potential of creating a connected and more intuitive experience for their users, while increasing security at the same time.” 57

Bosch Secure Truck Parking Creates Space for Trucks New Parking Facilities in the Port of Hamburg

he solution is intended to increase the efficiency of port logistics by connecting the Bosch platform to the slot booking procedure of the Hamburg container terminal. In future, instead of clogging up the streets, trucks that are waiting for customs clearance at the terminals can park at Cruise Gate. In this way, the parking facilities available in the port will be increased in an intelligent way. The parking area is access-restricted and video-monitored, and provides drivers with an impressive panorama of the Port of Hamburg. Sanitary facilities are also available.

Intelligent use of existing parking spaces

osch Secure Truck Parking at the ‘Cruise Center Steinwerder’ cruise terminal relieves traffic on Hafenstraße and preserves resources. Jan-Philipp Weers, Head of Bosch Secure Truck Parking, commented, “Together with Cruise Gate Hamburg and Logistik-Initiative Hamburg, we are creating the conditions for economical and environmentally-friendly parking management to work. The existing parking space is used efficiently. The parking space search is no longer necessary due to the Internet reservation. This reduces emissions, prevents random parking and makes truckers’ lives less stressful. We are very proud to be making an important contribu-

tion to road safety here in Hamburg.” Sacha Rougier, Managing Director of Cruise Gate Hamburg, describes the new service, “Cruise Gate Hamburg is continuously searching for solutions to optimally utilize the parking spaces, also on days when no cruise ships are docked. We are delighted that we have found a partner in Bosch Secure Truck Parking with which we can improve the difficult parking situation for truckers in the port area and surrounding truck stops. The fact that you can reliably make a booking and the high standards of security are a big plus for truck drivers.” Hans Stapelfeldt, ITS Network Manager at Logistik-Initiative Hamburg, also believes that the future collaboration will be of great benefit. He said, “I am delighted that no green SecurityLink India ■ October 2018

areas have to be sealed over to create new parking facilities; existing areas, which otherwise remain unused on days when there are no cruise ship dockings, are being used in an intelligent way.”

Smarter parking: faster, easier and secure

round 14,000 more parking spaces are needed for trucks in Germany. The shortage often has farreaching consequences: accidents, increased fuel consumption and cargo theft. To make truck parking faster, easier and secure, Bosch provides a service that allows truckers to reserve parking spaces at truck stops and company premises throughout Europe. 59

Strandudden Gated Community A video surveillance solution manufactured by Hanwha Techwin has been chosen to help create a secure environment for the residents of Sweden’s first gated community

ocated in the middle of the deep forests of Småland in the south of Sweden, the Strandudden Gated Community has been designed to provide a safe environment for homeowners who wish to enjoy a high quality of life. The first phase of the development has seen the construction of 18 apartments which have stunning lake views. The materials and features of each apartment have been carefully selected to ensure sustainable energy consumption.

Wisenet cameras

hen the development is completed, over 100 Wisenet cameras manufactured by Hanwha Techwin, will enable security personnel to closely monitor the movements of people and vehicles as they enter and move around the public areas of the gated community. 6 Wisenet cameras were initially installed during the construction of the apartments. These have been used to ensure strict compliance with the site’s health & safety regulations, and to keep a close eye on valuable plant and machinery. “We evaluated products from a number of different manufacturers, but the superb quality of the images captured by the Wisenet cameras made it a very easy decision for us to rec62

ommend that they should be deployed throughout the Community,” said a representative of Elajo, one of Sweden’s leading electrical, mechanical, engineering and energy installation companies who were awarded the contract to manage the project, “Equally important, the massive processing power of the chipsets of the open platform cameras means that our client is able to run specialist applications such as licence plate recognition (ANPR), in order to control vehicle access to the Community.”

Camera selection

he Hanwha Techwin Europe presales and technical teams have worked closely with Elajo to ensure the best camera types have been specified for each of the carefully chosen camera

locations. 6 different Wisenet models have been selected to ensure high quality images can be captured day or night and that there are no blind spots. Among these is the Wisenet IP network PNP9200RH 4K PTZ dome which has builtin IR illumination. The PNP-9200RH, which is IP66 and IK10 rated for vandal-resistance and outdoor use in the harshest environments, utilises progressive scan technology to provide sharp edges on moving subjects and vehicles. The PNP-9200RHs which have been installed at the entrance to the community are equipped with the Wisenet group ANPR solution which provides the opportunity to automatically control the movement of white listed cars through barriers via camera relay outputs. Developed by Hanwha Techwin in partnership with analytics experts, FF Group, the solution uses camera-tocamera IP communication technology to enable up to 4 Wisenet group ANPR cameras to work together, with data from each simultaneously transmitted to a single web based display.

Powerful Security Camera Delivers Non-Security Benefits Charleston’s Coastal Conservation League Uses Vicon Camera to bring Wildlife up Close

icon SN673V-B Cruiser PTZ camera with 20x optical zoom and 1080p HD video has been deployed in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, as part of the Coastal Conservation League’s novel project, ‘The Pelicam.’ The Pelicam is a weather-resistant Vicon camera, mounted on a pole along with solar panels, battery back-up and a wireless transmission system, on an isolated strip of land within the harbor. Wray Lemke, Founder and Vice President of electronic and security services company Mount Pleasant Radio, volunteered his time to bring this project to fruition. The Pelicam’s location is a popular spot for pelicans and other shore birds to build nests and raise their young because it is inaccessible to raccoons, coy-

otes and other natural predators. The Vicon camera’s 20x optical zoom provides closeup video of the birds, allowing biologist from the department of natural resources (DNR) and the public to witness behaviors that would not normally be observable by humans. The Conservation League makes use of the camera’s presets to quickly change between scenes, live-streaming on YouTube video of the most interesting wildlife on display at any given time. Video recorded to the camera’s local SD card is available for DNR biologists to review and study. Andy Hollis, Data and GIS Analyst for the Conservation League said, “The quality of the new camera is great. It pans and zooms exactly as it should and its high magnification gets us in really close.” In addition to supporting the research needs of the DNR, the Pelicam is hugely popular SecurityLink India ■ October 2018

within the community, garnering regular coverage in the local media and receiving more web traffic than any other page within the organization’s website. Mr. Hollis explained, “As an advocacy organization working with local and state level government to enact programs and laws to support conservation, the Pelicam is one of the most highly effective tools we have for building public awareness and enthusiasm for our mission.”

Secures Gilbert Christian Schools Modernizes Access Control and Streamlines Security Operations

ocated in the Phoenix suburb of Gilbert, Ariz., Gilbert Christian Schools operates three private school campuses for students ranging in age from pre-kindergarten through high school. The district, which consists of the PK-8 Agritopia Campus, PK-8 Greenfield Campus and a high school campus, is home to more than 1,000 students and nearly 200 staff members. About two years ago, just prior to constructing its Greenfield Campus that opened last fall, Gilbert officials decided it was time to bolster their access control system district wide and began soliciting bids for a solution that could not only streamline security across the campuses but also provide a more modern level of convenience. According to Barry Klontz, IT Manager, Gilbert Christian Schools, the district’s Agritopia and high school campuses were already in operation for a number of years and many of their existing systems had begun to reach the end of their lifecycle. Ultimately, school officials opted to adopt a facial recognition solution they hoped would both improve security and reduce their reliance on physical credentials alone. However, they soon realized that the biometric system by itself would not satisfy their security needs.

The challenge

ooking for someone who could provide them with the backend infrastructure necessary to run their stateof-the-art system as well as some of the

more advanced features they desired, the district turned to local systems integrator 365 Technologies who recommended the Vanderbilt SMS access control platform.

The solution

hough SMS was initially integrated with the facial recognition solution at the Greenfield Campus, Freddie Haber, President, 365 Technologies said that the school recently decided to do away with the biometric aspect of the system after realizing that Vanderbilt was meeting all of their access needs. The SMS platform has subsequently been deployed at the Agritopia and high school campuses as well, enabling the district to streamline its security operations, such as being able to initiate a district-wide lockdown in an instant. Haber said that both ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ buttons have been installed throughout all three schools which give staff the ability to put the district into lockdown and alert administrators of potential security threats. On the Greenfield Campus, 365 Technologies also integrated a panic alarm with SMS that provides every teacher with a serial numbered button that can give school officials immediate information about who initiated the alert and where an event is taking place in the facility. “The other schools have a wireless button, and if you hit it, the school goes into lockdown, but you really don’t know where that lockdown came from,” Haber explained. “At the new school, if teacher John Doe in room 120, for arguSecurityLink India ■ October 2018

ment’s sake, hits this button, then it will tell us that person so we know where the threat is.” Klontz, who is responsible for managing the system on a day-to-day basis, also said that SMS has given them the ability to set up varying access privileges for different individuals based on time-based restrictions and other variables, which is something they couldn’t do previously. “On the high school campus we’ve given out staff ID badges for pretty much anyone who needs access – everyone from hired staff to coaches who come in on a volunteer basis and we have different time zones (of access) for all of those different types of people,” Klontz said. And while the schools don’t provide credentials to students, Klontz said they do issue four-digit PIN numbers to the parents of children enrolled at the older Agritopia Campus, thereby providing an additional layer of security that people demand in K-12 environments today. Although the facial recognition aspect of the project didn’t work as planned, Haber said they are looking into the possibility of leveraging another biometric system, such as fingerprint, retina or iris scan, with Vanderbilt on the back end in order to provide that “wow” factor for the district moving forward. Aside from ripping and replacing some of the hardware at the two older campuses and getting the new system up and running, both Klontz and Haber said the technical challenges on the project have been minimal. 65

NEC Biometrics Contribute to Security at the 18th Asian Games Reinforced safety with facial recognition and behavior detection systems

EC Corporation has provided information and communications technology (ICT) systems for the 18th Asian Games, including a facial recognition system and a behavior detection system, as a supporting sponsor in the category of ICT security. The Asian Games are an international multi-sport event for athletes from across Asia that are held once every four years. This year’s event was held in Jakarta and Palembang in the Republic of Indonesia from August 18 to September 2. NEC offered a facial recognition system utilizing ‘NeoFace,’ NEC’s flagship facial recognition artificial intelligence (AI) engine, featuring the world’s highest recognition precision, and a behavior detection system to the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta, the main stadium of this event. These systems identify suspicious persons, who have been registered in advance, from surveillance camera video as well as detect intrusions to restricted areas and suspicious objects. Systems were provided as part of the official development assistance (ODA) from the Japanese Government to the Indonesian Government. This project was implemented with support from the Ministry of Public Works and Housing of the Republic of Indonesia, which was in charge of infrastructure development projects for the 18th Asian Games, making the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium ideal for 66

hosting international mega events which require enhanced safety and security. In addition, NEC provided a network system that was fundamental to successfully managing the event. This system connected a total of 130 locations including associated offices of the Indonesia Asian Games 2018 Organizing Committee (INASGOC) and all competition venues. NEC also supported system operations during the event. Moreover, NEC provided surveillance cameras, network systems, and

formation and carries perhaps the broadest set of responsibilities when compared to the core and to data center networks. As shown in Figure 1, when comparing the various layers of the network, the network edge has a broad responsibility in the campus. This is also true for the branch.

The Role of the Network Edge

igital transformation makes the network edge more important than ever before. Consider everything that happens at the edge of the network:

It’s the first line of defense

he edge is where policy is applied and validated, without limiting your ability to access the things you need. If access is not properly managed, then your business can be susceptible to infiltration or threat proliferation, and the criticality grows as the threat landscape increases. The device, firmware, and even the operating system are all points of compromise.

It’s the conduit that delivers heavily invested applications

he network edge is where prioritization occurs. A poor experience at the edge will slow application adoption, reducing return on investment.

It’s a strategic gateway to the widely distributed organizations to connect

roviding a seamless experience to your employees, partners, and customers – wherever they happen to be – is most important. A second-class network will deliver deviating levels of services to key audiences.

It is the bridge between the organization and their customers

f you’re a part of a retail or hospitality business, subpar access will stunt your ability to connect with customers on a personal level and negatively impact your brand.

It is built to power and support growing IoT device demands

he network edge adapts the physical environment by moving virtually all industries into the digital age by improving operations and lowering costs. Without the right functionality at the edge, organizations can be left behind in terms of cost reduction and operational efficiencies.

It is the optimal place to understand what is happening with the business

n a distributed network, only the edge sees all the data traffic, by harvesting data and analytics from the edge. Data about users, applications, devices, and threats businesses can derive insights that truly help in making better decisions to support employees, reduce risk and cost, and deliver information to the targeted audience. Without the right level of consistent granularity, this data becomes skewed and untrusted.

Is Commoditization of the Edge a Good Thing?

any organizations are being tasked with becoming digital-first to deliver faster innovation, better experience, and higher security. However, refreshing the network to meet these demands is a daunting task because the network foundation established today will need to support the business in the coming years. Choosing a networking vendor is a critical decision that will dictate whether you keep innovating and saying yes to the business or slow down while struggling with poor capabilities. With digital transformation, no one really knows what the future holds, but one thing is clear – the demand on your network will grow exponentially. Whether it’s IoT, the cloud, sophisticated security threats, or even augmented reality, digital transformation will change how you operate and serve the business. What is good enough today, will not be acceptable in the near future – and it all starts with the network. You have to innovate faster, reduce cost and complexity, and control risk. Organizations that are truly digital ready know that as they drive toward these changes they can’t compromise on what matters.

What is the Risk?

eing ready for the digital-first world is not about addressing a single place in the network. It is about starting at the network access edge and using common functionality in the core and the WAN with a digital-ready architectural approach. Why is this broad approach so critical? It’s because today’s digital-first world moves faster and pivots quicker, which means you and your network need to be ready. Organizations that are ready for the digital world don’t take unnecessary risk by compromising on what matters. They know that:

It takes only one bad experience to render your latest innovation useless

nside your business, it’s all about innovation. But at the edge, where your apps meet the real world and where new IoT devices will drive fundamental business change, inconsistent connectivity and slow performance could turn off users for good. This affects device performance and cuts off the insights you need to stay competitive. With Cisco, insight is in your DNA – not only insight into the network that improves performance, but also real-time consumer insights that create more personalized experiences.

ple. Cisco DNA is focused on protecting, simplifying, and enabling the business, end to end. Only Cisco can deliver this because Cisco DNA is the only solution that allows you to:

Provide better experiences and gain highly granular insights across users, devices, applications and threats

eing digital ready means delivering the right experience to empower employees, engage customers, and deliver valuable insight to optimize the user experience, develop new revenue streams, and control costs. The high-availability infrastructure identifies changes and automatically adapts to support increased capacity. As the only strategic network partner with Apple, Cisco allows organizations to deliver up to a 20 percent increase in audio quality, up to a 90 percent reduction in web browser failures, and up to an 86% reduction in network message load from iOS devices during roaming. Industry-leading location accuracy up to 1 meter and the ability to use real-time NetFlow data gives a concise understanding of user interaction and threat impact. This provides a real-world depiction of what is truly happening in your environment.

It takes only one incident to become everyone’s problem

Simply establish policy and manage change at scale while reducing hardware and software churn across wired, wireless and WAN

It takes only one ‘no’ to ruin your reputation our world is moving fast, and if you can’t keep up you will be discarded, essentially making you a fourth utility. Adding to this complexity is that resources and budgets are slim. Configuring and reconfiguring your network branch by branch and device by device can turn a ‘simple’ update into a TCO sinkhole. With Cisco, automation is in your DNA. This allows you to automate and manage your entire network – wired or wireless at your campus, through the WAN, and in your branches – as a single entity from a single place.

e don’t need to tell you what network downtime costs. Nor do we need to talk about how cybersecurity plays an important role in ensuring uptime by keeping malware from threatening your network services. So why would you buy networking infrastructure that doesn’t control access, prevent attacks, and detect and contain breaches? How can you trust a company with building your foundational network when it is unable to make that network secure? With Cisco, you can turn your network into a sensor of threats and enforcer of security policy, at the branch and HQ, wired and wireless. Don’t leave security to the other guys.

he ability to manage all network domains as a single network fabric from a centralized location speeds up the time to adapt the network and optimize the user experience, with organizations achieving a 79 percent reduction in deployment costs. An open and programmable infrastructure that delivers APIs across the LAN, WLAN and WAN and within other strategic data stores allows you to collect, develop, and deploy new applications and control mechanisms on their own. A wide community of developers exists to learn from and co-create with to gain the benefit of best practices and Cisco guidance to meet any use case. Completive solutions are able to manage one or two network domains such as wired and wireless, but do not deliver end-to-end centralized management. Competitive solutions that just use APIs do not have the tight community and expertise that Cisco delivers.

Complete threat visibility and protection for internal and external risks across wired, wireless and WAN

Gain always-on, always-ready reliability at the network, access, and end-device level for zero user impact

he network acts as a sensor and an enforcer by validating traffic against policy at every network hop. This ability allows the network to identify and remediate potential threats quickly, reduce risk, and uphold compliance. In turn, organizations avoid 99.2 percent of threats and adapt their network to new threats 98 percent faster than with traditional methods. They also achieve a 140 percent return on investment. Other solutions look for threats only at the access layer and use information from known malware. This means modern malware can infiltrate the network disguised as normal traffic and then conduct malicious activity from the interior of the network. The organization is left to puzzle information from disparate sampled data to try to identify where impact occurs so they can remedy it. Digital organizations are also breaking down silos, knowing that the production network and data center need to work in unison to deliver better user, device, and application experiences. Cisco DNA is focused on analyzing, simplifying, automating, and protecting the business by delivering innovation and intelligence from where the users begin to where the applications end.

Provide Better Experiences and Gain Highly Granular Insights

he network edge is the point at which employees are empowered, customers are engaged, and IoT devices are enabled, and it is a source of valuable insights.

Achieve simple license management and portability for infrastructure upgrades

Simply Establish Policy and Manage Change at Scale

rganizations struggle to get away from the costly and the time-consuming act of constantly reconfiguring and adapting the network device by device to meet the everincreasing demands of the business. Cisco provides a way to simply manage the network, whether it is one or many sites. The digital business requires the network to be more agile, which means the network needs to automate processes and new services with day-zero and day-one capabilities, and remove the need for manual intervention. This capability enables the digital business to deploy and maintain a network suitable for today’s quickly evolving landscape.

Cisco is able to speed the deployment and reduce deployment costs by 79 percent by decoupling software from hardware and virtualizing the WAN edge.

Manage a single quality-of-service (QoS) policy and adapt based on performance across the network

Complete Threat Visibility and Protection for Internal and External Risk

he network edge is the number one point for unauthorized or hostile access, because it’s where users and devices are on-boarded within both the campus and the branch. It has to be trusted to identify and control what’s getting onto the network. It also needs to work in unison with security solutions in the core and branch to defend against the latest malware attacks With the Cisco identity services engine, Cisco TrustSec®, and Cisco StealthWatch, you can turn your network into a sensor and enforcer to improve protection and response time. Meaning you are able to avoid, identify, and remediate threats as they enter the network or, if they get past the initial access, as they proliferate through the network. Cisco DNA allows you to:

isco solutions use the same QoS policy across the LAN, WLAN, and WAN to provide better application handling from end to end. They can automatically prioritize key applications such as latency-sensitive voice and collaboration, based on usage and service ratings, with application visibility and control taking into account changes in the environment along with QoS definitions to make sure businesscritical applications receive a high priority.

Turn up new network segments and branches faster and at a lower cost with zero-touch deployment

Defending critical assets at the edge

rganizations can avert 100% of network breaches by using the network as both a sensor and an enforcer. This can be done while also delivering deeper insights to improve protection and achieve faster response. A recent Forrester research paper shows that Cisco TrustSec allows IT to implement changes 98 percent faster, lower cost by up to 80 percent, and deliver a return on investment of 140 percent.

Continued Innovation at the Network Edge

ith the expected explosion of connectivity bringing significant opportunity, companies are start-

ing to recognize that this transformation will require fundamental changes to their network infrastructure and the ability to manage and analyze the data. We are leading the way through this transformation by driving innovation in network infrastructure, management of infrastructure, and analytics to extract actionable insights from the data. Cisco aims to transform troubleshooting that is reactive to proactive, and reduce resolution time from days to minutes. We will do so by treating every device in the network as a sensor and a distributed data processing element. By getting data from devices in the edge, distributing processing closer to the source of the data, we can perform analytics at line speed to generate actionable insights through machine learning. With the largest installed base and custom ASIC solutions, Cisco is uniquely positioned to design hardware and software optimized for analytics. Harness the power of installed base. Wired and wireless combined in one network will mean that intelligence on the edge can help you troubleshoot problems, whether they happen at the edge or not, in seconds; and over time, correct potential problems even before they occur. This will help IT departments deliver on the service-level agreement (SLA) for the network and application performance required for the future.

Conclusion

ith so much depending on the network edge, the commoditization of the wired and wireless LAN and WAN introduces risk that could result in security breaches, loss of productivity and revenue, loss of opportunity, and lack of visibility. The Cisco network edge allows organizations to go beyond an off-the shelf, standard-bound approach, delivering high value intelligence at the edge to innovate faster, reduce cost and complexity and lower risk. This approach allows organization to: ●● Protect the business with a strong first line of defense. ●● Confidently deliver applications to target audiences. ●● Deliver a seamless experience to employees anywhere. ●● Engage with customers to drive new revenue streams. ●● Better manage IoT devices and optimize the physical environment. ●● Provide the optimal view as to what is truly happening in the business.

lectively. Only through a concerted globalized effort which maximizes our expertise and minimizes the gaps will we be the best prepared to tackle emerging cyberthreats.” He highlighted several recent activities including the INTERPOL digital security challenge where participants investigated a simulated cyberattack launched through an ‘Internet of Things’ connected device, and a working group meeting on the darknet and cryptocurrencies which identified emerging threats such as the rise of new forms of virtual currencies. Following the 2017 INTERPOL-Europol conference, the two organizations have made notable progress in addressing the key identified areas of ransomware, the criminal abuse of the darknet, and the implementation of a proactive approach to increase public awareness of online safety. In this respect, the two organizations have discussed the need for a strategy to combat the illegal darknet economy through information sharing, operational support, training and awareness raising. “2018 has seen greater law enforcement success in fighting cybercrime on a global basis and increased public awareness of the threat, but cybercriminals are becoming smarter and more targeted in their approach and presenting an ever-increasing threat,” said Steven Wilson, Head of the European Cybercrime Centre (EC3), “The annual INTERPOL-Europol Cybercrime Conference is an important event to bring

yber experts from law enforcement, the private sector and academia recently gathered in Singapore to devise strategies for promoting the global cybersecurity agenda. With cybercriminals using increasingly sophisticated methods and technologies to carry out their illicit activities, the 6th INTERPOL-Europol Cybercrime Conference focused on the most pressing cyberthreats today and in the future, which include attacks against the financial and government sectors, the rise of ‘cybercrime as a service,’ denial of service (DNS) attacks, and business e-mail compromise scams. Under the theme of ‘Globalized efforts to tackle cybercrime,’ the three-day (18-20 September) conference looked at ways in which stakeholders from all sectors can combine their expertise to make the internet a more secure environment. Key areas of discussion included developing actionable cyberthreat intelligence, identifying cybercriminals through their online behaviour, defining the role of digital forensics, implementing national and regional legislations to tackle cybercrime, and crisis response planning. “The accelerated pace of technological innovation presents truly exciting opportunities. However, each new evolution also presents potential security gaps which cybercriminals are bound to probe,” said Tim Morris, Executive Director of Police Services, INTERPOL, “We must not only remain ahead of the technological curve, we must do so col-

together not just global law enforcement partners but thought leaders from industry and academia to ensure that there is a cross sector approach to tackling this threat.” Several high-level delegates attending the conference included the European Union (EU) Ambassador to Singapore, Barbara Plinkert. In recent months, the EU has been working towards implementing a new EU Cybersecurity Crisis Response Framework, allowing authorities to react quickly, operationally and in unison in the event of a major cross-border cyberattack. The EU Law Enforcement Emergency Response Protocol, the police contribution to the crisis management structure, was presented during the event in Singapore. The conference, which brought together 198 delegates from 50 countries, also provided an opportunity for Europol and INTERPOL to reconfirm their strong commitment to continue their collaboration in the fight against cybercrime, building on successful examples such as the Global Airline Action Days targeting individuals purchasing airline tickets with stolen or fake credit card details, and the No More Ransom initiative which provides free public access to tools for decrypting data locked by ransomware. The INTERPOL-Europol Cybercrime Conference is a joint initiative launched in 2013. Held annually, it is hosted in alternate years by Europol and INTERPOL.

Over Half of Global Exports Come from Countries that Fail to Punish Foreign Bribery T

ransparency International has recently revealed most of the world’s biggest exporters are failing to punish corporations paying bribes overseas. The anti-corruption organisation has released the 2018 edition of its Exporting Corruption report, rating countries based on their enforcement against foreign bribery under the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention. The report finds that only 11 of the 44 jurisdictions rated conduct active or moderate enforcement against companies bribing abroad. These are Germany, Israel, Italy, Norway, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States (active enforcement); and Australia, Brazil, Portugal and Sweden (moderate enforcement). Together, these countries are responsible for 30.8 per cent of world exports. Brazil and Israel have dramatically improved their ratings, up from little or no enforcement in 2015. Four countries, accounting for 6.7 per cent of world exports, have declining levels of enforcement – Austria, Canada, Finland and South Korea – with the biggest slide in Finland. For the first time, this year’s report evaluates China, the world’s largest exporter, as well as India, Singapore and Hong Kong, which are each responsible for more than two per cent of global exports but are not signatories to the OECD

Convention. They are, however, parties to the UN Convention against Corruption, which also calls for enforcement against foreign bribery. Transparency International urges them to join the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention. These four exporters, all non-signatories to the OECD Convention, are in the ‘Little or No Enforcement’ category. All together, the 33 countries in the ‘Limited’ and ‘Little or No Enforcement’ categories account for approximately 52 per cent of world exports. China alone contributes 10.8 per cent of the total. “It is unacceptable that so much of world trade is susceptible to consequence-free corruption,” said Delia Ferreira Rubio, Chair of Transparency International, “Governments have promised to implement and enforce laws against bribing foreign officials under the OECD and UN conventions. Yet many are not even investigating major cases of grand corruption, which involve state owned enterprises and senior politicians. These have an especially corrosive effect, and ultimately impact the ordinary citizens of the country the hardest.” The OECD Convention requires signatory countries to criminalise bribery of foreign public officials and introduce related measures. Transparency International examined the countries’ enforcement according to available data from the SecurityLink India ■ October 2018

past four years, relative to their share of global exports, and ranked them in four categories – ‘Active,’ ‘Moderate,’ ‘Limited,’ and ‘Little or No’ enforcement. The countries reviewed are responsible for more than 80 per cent of world exports. Gillian Dell, Author of the Report said, “Authorities not only need a strong legal framework for going after businesses that pay bribes abroad, but proper resources for the agencies responsible. In many countries, the courts, as well as investigators and prosecutors of cross-border corruption crimes, have inadequate means to do their job.” Besides stepping up enforcement efforts, Transparency International recommends that governments: ●● Improve accountability and deterrence, by publishing up-todate data and case information. ●● Facilitate cross-border investigations with improved mutual legal assistance to other countries. ●● Ensure even-handed, dissuasive sanctions by applying transparency, accountability and due process in settlements of foreign bribery cases. In addition, the OECD working group on bribery should make greater use of public announcements to name and shame countries that are not enforcing against foreign bribery, related money laundering offences and false accounting violations. 75

Anti-Terrorist Vehicle Access Control Systems Receive SAFETY Act Certification Curtails insurance risks to customers/ certification retroactive to 1984

elta Scientific, the leading manufacturer of counter-terrorist vehicle control systems used in the United States and internationally, has recently announced that in a review of its top selling products to the government, the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has provided certification according to the Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technology Act (SAFETY Act) of 2002. This certification minimizes insurance risks for organizations that deploy authorized Delta vehicle access control products to protect against terrorists and errant drivers. All products certified are covered retroactively back to 1984 and are now authorized to carry the SAFETY Act Designated mark. “By minimizing insurance risks to deploying authorized Delta vehicle access systems, this certification lets customers feel comfortable knowing that they have the full faith and backing of the Department of Homeland Security,” emphasizes Keith Bobrosky, Delta Scientific Senior Vice President, “As the only manufacturer having such certification for wedge barriers, beam barriers and crash gates, this announcement should encourage com78

mercial organizations to more fully explore using such life-saving products in their anti-terrorist and safety vehicle access solutions.” Delta certified products include the DSC501, DSC2000 and HD300 wedge barriers; MP5000 portable wedge barrier; DSC720-1M and DSC800 deep foundation bollards; DSC1200 surface mounted barrier; DSC7000 beam barrier; DSC600 and DSC650 shallow foundation fixed bollards and DSC288 crash gate. To illustrate the dependability of these products, the HD300 barrier stops a 15,000 pound (66.7 Km) vehicle travelling 50 mph (80 kpm) and has a demonstrated ability for continuous operation of 1 million cycles in independent test lab testing that took place over 14 months in an SecurityLink India ■ October 2018

outdoor setting while exposed to full sunlight and the effects of climatic conditions. Congress enacted the SAFETY Act to bestow liability protections for providers of certain antiterrorism technologies and provide incentives for the development and deployment of these technologies by creating a system of risk and litigation management. Certification means that the authorized Delta products have been reviewed comprehensively by DHS and it has found that the unit(s) will perform as intended, conforms to the Seller’s specifications, and is safe for use as intended. To pass review, each product had to demonstrate prior U.S. government use with substantial utility and effectiveness, provide immediate deployment, show that it would create risk to the public if the technology is not deployed, demonstrate effectiveness of the technology in defending against acts of terrorism and obtain determinations made by federal, state or local officials that the technology is appropriate for preventing, detecting, identifying or deterring acts of terrorism or limiting the harm that such acts might otherwise cause.

Can Blockchain Help the Identity Management Area? With investment on the rise, blockchain is expected to transform a wide variety of industries in the coming years

he identity and access management may be able to benefit from blockchain technology. Individuals generally have little or no control over the information that comprises their identities. Without visibility into the exchange of identity attributes across the enterprise for authentication, verification and authorization, individuals are vulnerable to identity fraud. Another challenge is that identity data is typically decentralized. For example in the United States, the Department of Motor Vehicles issues driver’s licenses, for example, while the Department of Homeland Security issues passports, banks track financial histories, and so on. Most of these organizations have isolated and centralized identity management systems, but the current landscape demands federation and single sign-on (SSO). This makes identity management, protection and verification very cumbersome, costly and risky for all industry enterprises and government agencies. Blockchain has the potential to introduce improvements that can make security more accessible and budget friendly. With smart contract capabilities, these can even have a secondary market where users can benefit from sharing resources back to the network. Smart contracts can automatically execute pieces of code that carry valuable data, or other such condition-based execution. IHS Markit believes that one way to implement the distributed trust model for decentralised identity management 80

is to use distributed ledger technology (blockchain). A permissioned blockchain technology provides core capabilities that enable a trusted digital identity network to build and operate: ●● A shared, append-only ledger with one version of the truth shared across all permissioned network participants in real time; ●● Smart contracts that ensure that verifiable and signed business logic is executed in each transaction; ●● Trust between known participants to verify transactions and ensure records are valid; and ●● Privacy and security measures that grant access only to permissioned parties. These capabilities deliver the following required values for trusted digital identity: ●● User-centric design, which allows users to control their identity profiles and attributes; ●● Dynamic validation of identity and transaction data and ongoing validation of information leveraging smart contracts to update trusted data in real time; ●● Trusted digitization, which enables processes to become fully digital while maintaining trust in the data items; ●● Auditable records to provide for validation; ●● Controlled visibility, or the ability to verify identity without disclosing actual data; and SecurityLink India ■ October 2018

●● No hierarchy – unlike a database with a single point of control, all participants have the same capabilities. Due to identity theft and fraud, industry enterprises and government agencies have been tasked with a risky, time-consuming and costly undertaking – verifying, managing and protecting the identities of the individuals in their business networks. Many organizations see blockchain as a new way to handle these responsibilities because it can allow individuals to consent and control access to their data as well as provide businesses a trusted view of a person’s identity.

Conclusions

●● Although identity management is not a vertical market, it is an application area that is used in many vertical markets. With the projected increase in the number of blockchain projects that are launched and become commercially deployed, the business value within the identity management sector is projected to reach $200 billion by 2030. The ID2020 initiative continues to promote and support blockchain technology to help the 1.1 billion people who live without an officially recognized identity. ●● Digital identity is one of the oldest and hardest problems on the Internet. However, the World Wide Web Consortium is now standardizing the format for digitally signed credentials, and public blockchains can

International Updates

provide the decentralized registration and discovery of public keys needed to verify digital signatures. ●● Using blockchain within the identity management space not only eliminates usernames and passwords in favor of cryptographic authentication, but it adds the ability to exchange verifiable digital credentials

for stronger, more flexible, and more resilient identity verification and access control. ●● It can standardize and automate how the vast majority of identity management functions are handled not just for consumers but within the enterprise as well. ●● Blockchain in the identity manage-

ment space can prove that decentralization works for self-sovereign identity (SSI) and verifiable claims. With self-sovereign identity, the data is more up-to-date and more valuable than third party data. Since the data comes directly from the customer, it is fully permissioned within an identity management solution.

Enhances Cybersecurity for ASEAN Member States With Training System in Thailand Contributing to the capabilities of government and infrastructure company employees

EC Corporation has announced the building and operation of a system in cooperation with NEC Thailand for the ASEAN Japan Cybersecurity Capacity Building Centre (AJCCBC), which develops cybersecurity human resources for ASEAN member states at the request of the Electronic Transactions Development Agency (Public Organization) or ETDA, a Thailand government agency. NEC will hold a variety of cybersecurity exercises at the AJCCBC through May 2019, including incident response exercises for approximately 150 government and critical infrastructure company employees belonging to ASEAN member states. This human resource development project is promoted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications as part of a Japan ASEAN Integration Fund (JAIF) project. Damage from cyberattacks is already a global issue and the sophistication of attacks is evolving rapidly. Moreover, there is a worldwide shortage of human resources capable of effectively responding to cyberattacks, in addition to a lack of human resource development and enhancement. Under these circumstances, NEC is undertaking the following operations: 1. System building in the AJCCBC: Introducing a variety of IT equipment required to implement cybersecurity exercises in the classroom, server room and offices of the ETDA. 2. Development and provision of cybersecurity exercises: Jointly developing forensic exercises to investigate the content and causes of attacks including malware analysis exercises to examine computer viruses with LAC Co., Ltd. In addition to development of these cybersecurity exercise environments, an environment of a practical cyber defense exercise is being implemented and provided in the cloud. 3. Holding of cybersecurity exercises: Instructors and tutors will be dispatched from NEC and LAC to periodically hold exercises through May 2019. Approximately 150 employees will participate each time including two to four employees from the government and critical infrastructure companies of each ASEAN member state. Furthermore, a series of ‘Cyber South East Asia Games’ (Cyber SEA Games) will be held in which young engineers and students selected from each ASEAN member state compete on cyberattack coping skills. NEC’s focus on the social solutions business includes ongoing development of cybersecurity human resources in the ASEAN region such as the provision of cybersecurity exercises in the Philippines in October 2017 for employees from the ministries of ASEAN member states responsible for cybersecurity. Going forward, NEC will continue to contribute to enhancing cybersecurity capabilities through the provision of cyber-defensive exercises, products and services to domestic and international government agencies and critical infrastructure companies.

No Compromise Wireless By Scott Penno – Regional Marketing Manager, APAC, Allied Telesis

he wireless edge of the network has become ubiquitous, and so have been the expectations of a reliable and secure connection. Users have become used to the convenience of connecting wherever and however they want. They tolerate the flaws in a typical Wi-Fi connection – pauses in downloads, occasional drop-outs where we must re-connect, and lengthy waits as we try to join a public Wi-Fi network. For personal browsing, we make a conscious compromise between convenience and reliability because apart from being frustrating at times, no real harm is done. But in a business environment, reliable wireless connectivity can’t be a compromise for critical operations, especially where it can be the difference between life and death.

Why multi-channel is not always the best choice

ost Wi-Fi networks operate on a multi-channel architecture (aka micro-cell), where each wireless access point (AP) connects to a mobile client using one of several radio channels. To achieve optimal throughput to each client, it’s important to have good signal strength but minimal radio

interference by ensuring that the APs are not too close, and the same radio channels do not overlap (called ‘co-channel interference’). However, this can be difficult when there may be physical layout constraints, and there are only a few channels to choose from, and even harder in a multi-tenancy building when your neighbour chooses the same channels as you. To assist with this, tools are used to survey the physical site to plan the channel map for the optimal experience, but these tools can be expensive and time consuming to use effectively. This is how typical Wi-Fi networks are designed, and why they occasionally exhibit reliability glitches. Some years ago, an alternative architecture was proposed that utilised the same radio channel for all APs in the network. In this model, placement of the APs was no longer critical because they all used the same channel, so interference was not an issue. If coverage was poor in one location, then additional APs could be easily deployed without worrying about introducing bandwidth-destroying interference. Although the single-channel architecture solved one of the biggest challenges of Wi-Fi network design, it too had some limitations, the main one being that its total network throughput was usually lower than multi-channel. Since then, multi-channel Wi-Fi has become the predominant architecture and most of the time, it does a great job. However, there are some situations where multi-channel is not the best choice, and alternative solutions can provide a better experience. Applications of this type usually fall into three categories: 1. Dynamic physical environments, like warehouses, where radio coverage is continuously being changed as objects are moved and removed. This makes multi-channel planning almost impossible, so the workaround is to deploy more APs. Unfortunately, this not

feature

only increases cost, but it introduces more radio interference, which reduces data throughput. 2. Environments that must have reliable connectivity to mobile devices, like hospitals, where even a momentary loss of data connectivity can have a serious effect. As a wireless client moves, its connection will ‘roam’ to another AP when it perceives a significantly more attractive signal. Unfortunately, this roaming process can sometimes be slow and disruptive as security credentials must be established or re-negotiated. Often this can manifest as an annoying lag on a VoIP call, or random artefacts in video. One solution is to use only wireless clients that support ‘fast-roaming’ protocols, or intelligent bridging devices that handle the roaming on behalf of the client. Both these solutions add complexity and cost. 3. Environments where there are many roaming wireless users, like schools, hospitals, public venues etc. Multichannel struggles to cope in these situations because

only one client can talk to an AP at a time. So, having more clients associated with an AP means there is less time for each client to talk, so the effective bandwidth to each client is reduced. Adding more APs doesn’t always help because co-channel interference increases, which also reduces bandwidth. The answer to these challenges is a cost-effective Wi-Fi solution that combines the best features of both architectures – multi-channel’s throughput with single-channel’s easy deployment, and reliable, seamless roaming connectivity. Previously, users had to choose one architecture or another, and where it was desirable to run both multi-channel and singlechannel systems on premises, they had to manage two different networks with different tools. Administration efforts were increased because firmware updates had to be applied twice, and engineers had two different systems to learn and maintain. Today there is a solution that allows the user to select multi-channel, single channel or both, for the optimal Wi-Fi experience.

Apollo Security Emphasizes Customization with New Controller Series E

veryone can agree the convergence trend is in full force in the electronic security industry, and organizations are pushing more and more for integrated solutions that can not only enhance ROI but also solve problems that have traditionally been out of the realm of electronic physical security systems. This leaves system integrators and other solution providers in a difficult position as they scramble to be competitive especially when faced with an industry dominated by a few power players. Tackling this problem can now be a matter of survival for small to medium players especially in regional markets. To address this need, Apollo se-

curity access control has introduced a new ASP series controllers that promise to set a new standard for secure, scalable and customizable solutions. For 30 years, Apollo has been known for producing some of the most robust hardware in the industry, and with the ASP series a new layer of flexibility has been added by allowing ‘post-factory’ customization in addition to many other feature upgrades. This will help put more control in the hands of integrators, and even end-users so they are not locked into hardware solutions that are ‘off the shelf ’ and don’t provide any ability to adapt to customer specific needs for the present or the future. SecurityLink India ■ October 2018

The flagship of Apollo’s new controller series, the ASP-4 is an intelligent access controller designed to provide high performance security solution with ability to solve non-standard problems. Natively, the ASP-4 can support four readers and four doors, but when clustered with 32 other ASPs devices it can secure up to 128 doors in one management unit by utilizing inter-device communication across standard IT networks. Each ASP-4 can also support up to 16 additional readers by utilizing OSDP secure channel communications, supporting configurations such as 4 doors with in/ out (8 readers) or even more doors by adding input/ output modules for door 85

control. Enterprise capacity of 250,000+ cardholders, 300 access levels with up to 50 access levels per card is provided at each device, providing total cardholders access rights database redundancy, preventing reduced functionality modes such as ‘facility code check only.’ The ASP’s real power lies, however, with the ability to customize the functions of the controller by loading customized App scripts and third-party protocols. Using industry standard ‘Clike’ programming language, the ASP can have new functions designed by the integrator. Running customizations at the hardware level instead of software offers the benefits of drastically reduced time/ cost of implementation, as well as superior reliability. Earlier if an organization wanted to integrate a new device such as an alarm panel, fire system or similar, they would have to request software customization which could take months and costed tens of thousands of dollars; however, with the ASP such a task can take days or weeks and be completed within a budget of hundreds of dollars. An example of how effective this customization works was provided by a subsidiary of a large multi-national that was struggling to comply with strict labor regulations. Under these rules, workers in their factory can only work six consecutive days, requiring the seventh day for rest. The HR department struggled to keep track of this as each employee’s rest day was prior to when six days was expired; in addition to workers switching shifts and other complications the tracking was too difficult to be done manually, so an automated solution was necessary. The current access control solution the company was using didn’t provide any solution for this so the only possibil86

ity was expensive customization which would take 3-4 months and then there was no guarantee what would happen in the future if needs would change. With ASP-4, Apollo’s local partner was able to offer a much more rapid solution. The requirements were programmed into a logic script that was loaded to the controller. This script checks every cardholder at time of access for any violation of the rules and deny access if necessary, displaying a reason on an LCD display as well as flash an indicator light so that the cardholder will know it is not simply an access level error that has denied their entry. This customization took less than one man-day to program and was tested over the course of one week before it was ready to deploy. The ability to do this customization gave the partner the edge needed to provide a timely, cost effective solution to a problem that could have costed the company greatly if a work-related accident resulted in legal action. In the future, the logic script can be easily changed, for example if the company would like to move to a five-day work week in the future. Additional customization possibilities are possible using the serial connections of the ASP. This allows integration of input devices such as scales or barcode scanners, or interface to any device that has a serial interface such as displays, mimic panels, entry phone systems and more. Protocols for these devices can be embedded in scripts and the devices can assume alarm input/ output functions, or even new card reader types can be supported such as wireless locks or long-range RFID readers. In addition to being customizable, the ASP of course is designed with security in mind. With all communication channels being secured with 128-bit TLS SecurityLink India ■ October 2018

encryption which prevents attempts to intercept or forge data. Security goes all the way down to the reader using OSDP secure channel to protect card reader data transmission lines. Being able to communicate simultaneously with up to five software hosts also gives the ASP ability to be monitored in real-time by redundant systems, ensuring that important alarms are always delivered in time for the security team to react. The ASP series has been designed from the ground up to be friendly to software OEMs and system integrators using other systems in place of or addition to Apollo Security’s software platform. A native open platform SDK allows tight integration with all the ASP’s standard features in addition to the customizations available through scripting and embedded software. The SDK comes with several integration pathways including .NET and Python and includes sample code, tutorials and online developer support. To better support software OEM partners, Apollo Security’s parent company, ADME INC., has recently announced a new division, ApolloEM which will provide support for partners that utilize the ASP hardware platform in their own software solutions. William Lorber, Vice President of Sales and Marketing said, “Establishing a separate division to strengthen our role as an access hardware OEM became logical as more partners are coming on board to utilize our new product line. We are excited to see the solutions that our partners develop on this platform.” Lorber added that partners will be able to share and market their solutions on the upcoming App Script Library platform that Apollo will roll out later this year to expand the effectiveness of ASP solutions.

Earns First Perfect Score in International Fake-Finger Certification Tests ID Global® patented Lumidigm® multispectral imaging solution is the first fingerprint technology certified to the ISO/ IEC 30107-3 Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) standard, which focuses on anti-spoofing and liveness detection to determine whether fingerprint data captured from the sensor is from a real, living person or from a plastic fake or other artificial copy. Since the specification’s release more than a year ago, only the Lumidigm V-Series solution has stopped all fake-finger attacks to receive a perfect certification score in a Level 1 test, which was administered by iBeta Quality Assurance and certified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). “This industry certification is an important accomplishment which validates the security- and privacy-enhancing capabilities of our multispectral fingerprint capture technology,” said Michael Chaudoin, Vice President of Product Management and Marketing, Extended Access Technologies business unit with HID Global, “Deployed globally, these fingerprint sensors authenticate billions of transactions annually. They provide trust whenever they are used to validate a person’s identity to grant access, deliver services or distrib-

ute funds, because each time they ensure that fingerprint data is from a real person rather than a fake or stolen sample.” The independent test result is based on the global ISO/ IEC 30107-3 standard, which established procedures for testing and reporting a device’s level of susceptibility to fake fingerprints, also called spoofing attacks. During these tests, the fake fingerprint is presented to a biometric capture device by an imposter to gain unauthorized access, steal an identity for fraudulent use, or evade a watch list. Receiving a perfect score during Level 1 certification testing means the Lumidigm technology detected 100 percent of spoof attempts while correctly authenticating legitimate users. “Liveness detection is a critical component of a trusted fingerprint biometric security architecture that also includes capture and template-matching capabilities,” said Michael Thieme, Novetta Vice President of Special Projects and Editor of ISO/ IEC 30107-3, “Organizations deploying biometric systems should consider independently-validated PAD solutions to help ensure the biometric products they deploy defend against these types of attacks.” Liveness detection is increasingly important for ensuring the integrity of what Acuity Market Intelligence forecasts will be more than one trillion cloud-based biometric transactions annually by 2022. In 2015, more than 21.5 million people were affected by a breach of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) systems that compromised 15 years of biometric fingerprint identity data. This and other breaches at companies in financial services, healthcare, and other industries have fueled concerns about the fraudulent use of stolen biometric data, which liveness detection can help prevent. According to Acuity’s principal analyst, Maxine Most, “One of the main challenges ahead is educating markets about what constitutes the integrity of a biometric system, including how to apply best practices for liveness detection.” The firm said in its September 2017 financial services white paper that liveness detection is a critical component of a secure, well-architected biometric solution, and one of the most important countermeasures to biometric spoofing and presentation attacks. HID Global’s patented multispectral fingerprint imaging technology captures unique characteristics from the surface and subsurface of the finger, providing the most reliable fingerprint capture technology available today. Multispectral fingerprinting works reliably for a broad range of people with normal, wet, dry or damaged fingers, across a wide range of conditions – from dirt and grease to sunlight to wet 92

or cold conditions. These devices provide field-updatable ‘liveness detection’ that helps future-proof deployed systems against new threats as criminals continue to escalate their attacks and techniques. The sensors use a top-ranked NIST certified MINEX III minutia algorithm for proven interoperability with industry standard fingerprint template databases.
