Arecont Vision® Releases SurroundVideo® G5 Mini Panoramic Camera Series

os Angeles, CA– Arecont Vision®, the industry leader in IPbased megapixel camera technology, has expanded their popular SurroundVideo® panoramic indoor/outdoor camera series with fifth generation models that deliver important new features in a smaller size. These compact SurroundVideo G5 Mini cameras are the latest addition to the ground-breaking SurroundVideo multi-sensor panoramic family. SurroundVideo panoramic cameras provide four integrated lenses in either 180º or 360º configurations. The new SurroundVideo G5 Mini panoramic camera series delivers 12- and 20-megapixel (12 or 20MP) resolution at double the frame rate of previous models. The G5 Mini is also approximately 50% smaller than previous SurroundVideo models. In 2006, Arecont Vision pioneered the industry’s first multi-sensor panoramic megapixel cameras and has maintained its market leadership through continued innovation and development. Not only can a single, high definition SurroundVideo camera replace multiple pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) or fixed-view cameras, but it does so while enhancing video coverage and situational awareness. Even more important is that reducing the number of cameras through the use of SurroundVideo lessens both project costs and complexity. The SurroundVideo series is currently in its fifth generation, with tens of thousands of successful customer installations around the globe. SurroundVideo cameras are typically mounted on walls, ceilings, rooftops, corners, light poles, and emergency call boxes. Users can view each sensor of a SurroundVideo G5 Mini megapixel camera individually or cumulatively in a full 180o or 360o panoramic view. SurroundVideo panoramic cameras are factory-aligned with a slight image overlap as a means to ensure that nothing is ever missed in the field of view. 12MP WDR-equipped models offer up to 100dB at full resolution for an optimal image, even in extremely varied lighting conditions. SurroundVideo cameras additionally feature four individual day/night mechanical IR cut filters in order to provide the highest image quality at any time of day. The entire Made in the USA SurroundVideo series is subjected to, and certified by, rigorous dust, water, and impact tests while under strict manufacturing quality control. SurroundVideo cameras offer an extended operating range and are ideal for indoor, outdoor, and vandal-prone applications. “Arecont Vision SurroundVideo multi-sensor megapixel cameras continue to be the go-to solution for knowledgeable systems integrators around the world due to the demonstrated performance, proven reliability, and outstanding costefficiency of the entire series,” said Brad Donaldson, Arecont Vision’s VP of Product Development. “The smaller size of the new SurroundVideo G5 Mini models, combined with double the frame rate of earlier models, will significantly benefit our customers.” SurroundVideo series cameras also offer advanced streaming capabilities. They are designed on the Arecont Vision highly efficient H.264 encoding platform to deliver high quality video without straining the network. Power can be supplied by either a single Power-over Ethernet (PoE) compliant network cable, or by an 18-48V DC/24V AC power supply. The camera interface allows for intuitive, fast, and easy configuration, while the convenient AV IP Utility tool enables users to quickly configure or update one or multiple cameras simultaneously. SurroundVideo cameras are integrated with the industry’s leading video management systems (VMS) and network video recorders (NVR) through the Arecont Vision Technology Partner Program and its MegaLab™ testing facility and knowledge center. The result is the best-possible integration for surveillance projects, and most Technology Partner Program VMS/NVR members further reduce project costs by charging only a single camera license for a four-sensor SurroundVideo camera.

BT and Toshiba launch UK’s first Quantum Security Showcase Farpointe Data’s Ranger Transmitter Supports Long Range, Proximity and, Now, Smart Card Presentation Technologies

T and Toshiba opened the UK’s first secure quantum communication showcase at BT’s research and development centre in Ipswich.

The showcase sees the two companies demonstrate cutting edge quantum cryptography, which can be used to protect digital information transported within banks and financial services organisations from hacking. Quantum cryptography works by delivering secret keys over fibre optic cable, using the smallest possible packets of light. It allows eavesdroppers on a line to be easily detected because any attempt to monitor the data being transferred will disturb the photons sending the keys and introduce errors to their encoding. This allows organisations to check whether the key has been intercepted by a cyber-criminal.

technology can enhance a wider range of businesses. We look forward to working with BT over the coming months to gather useful feedback and address the security requirements and concerns of BT customers.” BT and Toshiba’s system uses quantum cryptography to form digital crypto keys between the two points, which can be used to encrypt and authenticate each piece of confidential data flowing between two sites. The quantum signals used to form the secret keys can also be sent along the same fibre as the bank data, so it greatly reduces the cost of infrastructure required.

Quantum cryptography is used to securely transfer all manner of confidential information, such as personal details, biometric data and bank statements, between a bank branch and an off-site data centre. Off-site data centres are prevalent throughout the financial sector, making the secure communication of personal and banking information over digital infrastructure crucially important. Professor Tim Whitley, head of research for BT, and MD of Adastral Park, said: “We’ve been conducting research into quantum cryptography for several years now so this is a great step forward in demonstrating how our research can benefit businesses. Businesses and organisations today face a tide of ever increasing and highly sophisticated attacks from cyber criminals so ensuring the secure transfer of critical data is more important than ever. We’re confident that quantum cryptography will play an increasingly important role in helping companies guarantee that their secure communications remain water-tight in the future.” Dr. Shiro Saito, Corporate Senior Vice President, and General Manager of the Technology Division at Toshiba Corporation said: “Toshiba is already applying quantum cryptography to secure transmission of genome data in Japan, since protecting personal medical information is one of the promising application fields. Showing our secure communication system in BT’s customer showcase will enable us to demonstrate how quantum continue on page 16

BT and Toshiba Research Europe are also collaborating on a major project to build a Quantum Communication network (the “UK Quantum Network”). This initiative, which is part of the UK’s £270 Million Quantum Technology Programme, will facilitate quantum secured communications between Cambridge, Bristol, London and Adastral Park. A link connecting BT’s Labs at Adastral Park and the Cambridge Science Park is expected to be completed early next year.

Princeton Identity Upgrades Access Control System with Biometric Iris Recognition at Elder Care Facility  Easy-to-Use Solution with Instant Identification and No Codes to Remember

rie PA– Princeton Identity has recently implemented an iris recognition system at Brevillier Village, a long term care and independent residential/retirement facility in Erie, Pennsylvania, that will make access control procedures easier and more convenient for both residents and staff. According to Jean LaFuria, Vice President of Residential Services, Brevillier Village, there were problems on-site when residents had difficulty using the access control keypads to move about the facility. A variety of options were investigated, including larger keypads to increase visibility, but none were an ideal solution. “Adding key cards to solve the problem was not an option because of liability/legal issues and larger-sized pin pads were only a partial solution,” adds LaFuria. “We were already using fingerprint technology for staff time and attendance but it was less viable for the residents, and created new concerns for accuracy and transmission of germs. After researching current technologies, we learned that iris recognition could be an ideal solution for us – it is highly accurate, non-contact, and eliminates the need to remember codes. The easy-to-use iris recognition technology from Princeton Identity was the answer for our challenges.”

Security Solutions Today • January / February 2017

The solution from Princeton Identity involved adding two of their IOM (Identity on the Move™) Walk-Through Identity systems and six IOM Access Control readers in the personal care building. IOM readers are installed on four sets of doors at two heights – a lower position for those in wheelchairs and a higher position for those who can stand or use crutches or a walker. Once enrolled, users simply glance at the iris reader without having to remove glasses or place their eyes close to the device. Authentication is confirmed in less than a second, and the door can be opened. Because of the system’s ease of use and reliable accuracy, the staff at Brevillier Village are also enrolled in the system. The building’s previous access control system was left in place as a back-up. “This project highlights some of the advantages of iris recognition in healthcare and assisted-living applications,” said Mark Clifton, CEO, Princeton Identity. “Many facilities need to support users with a wide range of physical limitations and challenges. Iris recognition is a great fit for these cases because it is fast and easy for users, doesn’t require a free hand, and maintains safety and security.” For more information, please visit www.princetonidentity.com. sst

Bosch introduces latest Starlight Technology The ultimate 24/7 IP video surveillance cameras just got even better

osch starlight cameras deliver the highest quality of relevant video surveillance, even in extremely low light conditions. The starlight portfolio will now be further enhanced still, with improved light sensitivity, superb front and backlight compensation; higher frames rates as well as a wider choice of resolutions and form factors. Another compelling enrichment is that all Bosch IP 6000, 7000 and 8000 starlight cameras will feature Bosch video analytics at the edge as standard, instead of as an optional feature. Therefore, no additional investment or license fees from the customer will be required. Bosch feels that the offering of video analytics at the edge as standard is now a necessity to cater to the ever-increasing demand for details. It is also a necessity due to the proliferation of cameras. Bosch video analytics adds sense and structure to video data already at the point of capture (at the edge), enabling users to effortlessly search through large amounts of video data and to pinpoint the information that matters most to them. In this way, users can take appropriate action faster, easier and more efficiently. It also enables them to reduce network strain and storage requirements by streaming only the data needed. The complete IP starlight camera portfolio from Bosch offers a wider selection of resolutions (720p, 1080p, 5 megapixel) and form factors including fixed box, fixed dome or moving dome cameras; as well as extremely rugged moving cameras for when conditions get tough. The starlight portfolio also offers higher dynamic ranges of up to 120 dB for perfect exposure in all lighting conditions regardless of front and backlight, as well as frame rates of up to 60 frames per second to easily capture fast moving objects. In addition, the latest sensor technology, combined with sophisticated noise suppression, results in a light sensitivity of 0.0069 lux in color and 0.0008 lux in monochrome for the 1080p models. This enables starlight cameras to produce full color images in the dark beyond the point where other cameras have switched to monochrome. Where other cameras fail to show any image at all, starlight cameras are still capable of delivering detailed monochrome images. Boschâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s video analytics at the edge enable starlight cameras to interpret data and to decide what and when to stream. This will be based on configurable triggers minimizing bandwidth requirements as needed. The end results are relevant alerts and key statistics which enhance the accuracy of the video surveillance system, providing relevant data for numerous security and non-security applications and substantially reducing the margin of error that comes with time consuming and labor intensive 24/7 human surveillance. A full suite of Essential Video Analytics will be provided as standard without additional license fees on the DINION IP starlight 6000 fixed box and FLEXIDOME IP starlight 6000 fixed dome cameras at competitive price points. All IP 7000 and IP 8000 starlight cameras will come equipped with the state-of â&#x20AC;&#x201C;the-art Intelligent Video Analytics from continue on page 18

Enormous Interest for Delta’s New Fast-Close Barrier In First Month “Phones Haven’t Rung This Much Since ... 9-11”

almdale, Calif. - Delta Scientific, the leading manufacturer of counter-terrorist vehicle control systems used in the United States and internationally, today announced that the threat of vehicles used as weapons has created unprecedented interest in its newest vehicle access control barrier, the HD200, which features a 0.63 second emergency fast operation (EFO). Also highlighting a very fast open/close cycle of 2-5 seconds, the HD200 was created for high traffic, densely populated locations that need high-speed open/close rates to get many vehicles in and out as well as very fast closing rates to protect the people. “We announced the HD200 vehicle barricade, which touts the fastest standard operating speed in the market in midSeptember and, already, we’ve had as much or more interest in this barrier than any we have previously introduced,” emphasizes Greg Hamm, Delta Scientific vice president, sales and marketing. “The phones have not rung this much since the days after 9-11. This only shows how security professionals have become very aware, since the tragedy in Nice, France, of how vehicles are now being used as weapons in terrorist attacks.” The fast operating HD200 barrier will bring to a full stop a 7.5 ton (6803.9 kg) medium duty truck travelling 30 mph (48.3 kph) in less than 3.3 feet (1 meter). The truck rebound after impacting the barrier was an incredible 11.5 feet (3.5 m) in its crash test. This results in a crash rating of ASTM M30/P1. With a 0.63 second EFO speed, the HD200 barrier will stop and destroy a vehicle moving at 30 mph (48.3 kph), equivalent to 44 feet (13.4 m) per second, if triggered within 50 feet (15.2 m) of the barrier. Especially in high traffic and high volume locations, the barrier is open much of the time, letting vehicles through. Therefore, when the location is heavily populated as well, the barrier must open and close frequently but equally importantly, close quickly. With a 24-inch (61 cm) shallow foundation and fully enclosed, flush mount design, the HD200 obviates the concerns of interference with buried pipes, power lines and fiber optic communication lines in urban applications. The shallow foundation also reduces installation complexity, time, materials and corresponding costs. The HD200 is perfect for high water table locations and areas with corrosive soils. It provides low maintenance as its totally enclosed face is easily removed for access. Leveraging the latest technologies, the HD200’s breakthrough EFO can be remotely controlled via fiber optics, touch screen control panels, NEMA rated control button panels and simple key switches. The HD200 barrier also features a full range of diagnostic indicators for early detection of any difficulties. As with most other Delta barricades and barriers that are properly maintained, projected life expectancy of the HD200 is 20+ years. For more information, please visit www.deltascientific.com. sst

Honeywell Puts Building Controls In Occupants’ Hands Mobile software application enables building occupants to tap into Internet of Things capabilities to address common building issues including temperature settings, access control

ew Delhi– Building occupants long have grappled with who to call when their work area is too cold, or how to gain access to a facility when they forget their access card at home. Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced a new mobile software application for building occupants that addresses these common frustrations. The Honeywell Vector Occupant App combines the convenience of today’s mobile devices with connected building features to give users more control over their comfort levels and ability to securely move about the work place. The new software is the latest example of Honeywell’s leadership in the Internet of Things around connected buildings. The new app provides digital identification and integrates with core building functions, including access and comfort control, to enhance building occupants’ experience with the touch of a screen. The app’s access control capability eliminates the need for physical cards or fobs and gives users secure access via their smart phones. In addition, occupants can quickly and easily communicate temperature discomfort for real time adjustments instead of the more time-consuming process currently used of seeking out a facility manager or making a phone call to request temperature changes. Facility managers, in turn, benefit from immediate insight into where and how comfortable occupants are, so they can make adjustments more quickly and easily. And, the app’s digital identification and access control capabilities make it easier to manage occupant credentials, eliminating the need for keeping track of and replacing misplaced access cards. “Occupant engagement is an increasingly important aspect of intelligent building solutions,” said Casey Talon, principal research analyst, Navigant Research. “The smart phone app is an innovative new platform for gathering insight that can refine environmental conditions to optimize workspaces.”

Backed by a cloud-based architecture and enabled by HID Global’s Seos® credential technology, the Honeywell Vector Occupant App works independently of underlying building systems, enabling widespread use and adoption. Administrators within facilities deploying the app access a cloud portal to manage users and features such as corresponding user identification and credentials. Users who download the app must receive an invitation from the administrator in order to gain access to its features. “Smart phones and apps continue to enhance our everyday lives, from allowing us to hail a cab to giving us direct insight into where we stand on a restaurant waiting list. We’re now applying these same concepts of insight and control to how one interacts with a building,” said Aseem Joshi, regional general manager, Honeywell Building Solutions, India. “Buildings are alive and teeming with opportunities for users to interact with them—if you can make the right connections. continue on page 27

Security Solutions Today • January / February 2017

EYE ON ASIA | IN THE NEWS

The Honeywell Vector Occupant App facilitates these interactions, so users can create their best experiences.” The app currently features three layers, including:

• •

•

Digital Identification – Eliminates the need for plastic badges or temporary tags and solves the issue of outdated photo IDs by providing an up-todate photograph. Convenient Access Control – Builds on the app’s digital identification feature, offering mobile-based access control that can easily be managed by a facility, and eliminating the need for tracking and replacing cards or fobs. Occupants, in turn, have one less item to carry, and can open doors from greater distances than traditional key cards and fobs. One-Click Hot/Cold Calls – Provides a quick and direct way for occupants to indicate when their work areas are too hot or too cold, and to receive confirmation that their issues are being addressed. Facility managers are alerted to occupants’

discomfort in real time, and can view call location, watch for patterns and quickly make adjustments to satisfy occupants. The Honeywell Vector Occupant App is part of Honeywell’s approach to connected services, which leverages the connectivity of buildings to improve how they operate and the experiences they offer for those who visit and work within them. The app is also the latest addition to Honeywell’s mobile software strategy, a significant part of the company’s efforts to provide the latest technology innovations to help keep facilities safe, secure, comfortable, productive and energy efficient. Future enhancements and capabilities are planned for the app that will take advantage of building connectivity. The Honeywell Vector Occupant App currently works with Apple and Android products and is available on iTunes® and Google Play™. For more information, please visit www.honeywell. com/country/in. sst

New McAfee Survey Reveals Only 45 Percent of Consumers Take Proper Security Measures to Protect Their New Gadgets Streaming Sticks, Drones and Smart Home Products Top List of Devices that Can Compromise Consumers’ Security if Left Unprotected News Highlights

• • •

Survey reveals that 80 percent of consumers will likely holiday shop online this year Holiday season brings new gifts, and while 85 percent of consumers start using connected devices within the first day of receiving it, only 45 percent claim they take the proper security measures Consumers know it’s important to secure their devices, but nearly half (46 percent) are uncertain whether they are taking the proper security steps to do so

ingapore–Intel Security has announced its second-annual McAfee Most Hackable Holiday Gifts list to identify potential security risks associated with hot-ticket items this holiday season. The No. 1 most hackable gift category included laptops and PCs, followed by smartphones and tablets, media players and streaming sticks, smart home automation and devices, and finally, drones. To accompany the list, Intel Security conducted a survey to identify the risky behaviors consumers are engaging in during the holiday season and educate them on how to protect themselves. Today’s digital world is changing fast, and our reliance on the internet is ever increasing. The recent distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack was carried out by a botnet made up of unsecured webcams and other internet of things (IoT) devices, and crippled many popular websites connected to the Dyn domain. It’s important that consumers understand they can help fight these attacks by ensuring their devices are updated and patched, which helps mitigate risks from the latest threats. “Unsurprisingly, connected devices remain high on holiday wish lists this year. What is alarming is that

consumers remain unaware of what behaviors pose a security risk when it comes to new devices,” said Gary Davis, chief consumer security evangelist at Intel Security. “Consumers are often eager to use their new gadget as soon as they get it and forgo ensuring that their device is properly secured. Cybercriminals could use this lack of attention as an inroad to gather personal consumer data, exposing consumers to malware or identity theft or even use unsecured devices to launch DDoS attacks as in the recent Dyn attack.” While a majority of consumers are aware of the vulnerabilities in older connected devices like laptops (73 percent), mobile phones (70 percent) and tablets (69 percent), they lack awareness about the potential risks associated with emerging connected devices, such as drones (20 percent), children’s toys (21 percent), virtual reality tech (18 percent), and pet gifts (11 percent). As technology continues to evolve, it is essential consumers understand the risks associated with even the most unassuming devices. While 75 percent of consumers believe it’s very important to secure their online identities and connected devices, nearly half are uncertain if they are taking the proper security steps.

This Year’s Most Hackable Holiday Gifts Include: 1.Laptops and PCs – Laptops and PCs make great gifts, however, malicious apps targeting PCs are unfortunately common, and are not just limited to Windows-based devices. 2.Smartphones and Tablets – Survey results revealed that 64% of consumers plan to purchase either a smartphone or tablet this holiday season. Just like PCs and laptops, malware could result in personal and financial information being stolen. 3.Media Players and Streaming Sticks – Media players and streaming sticks have changed the way consumers enjoy movies and TV, but consumers can unknowingly invite a cybercriminal into their living room by failing to update their device. 4.Smart Home Automation Devices and Apps – Today’s connected home devices and apps give users the power to control their homes from their smartphone. Unfortunately, hackers have demonstrated techniques that could be used to compromise Bluetooth powered door locks and other home automation devices.

5.Drones – Drone sales are expected to grow to more than $20 billion by 2022. They can provide unique perspectives when it comes to shooting video and photos. However, not properly securing the device could allow hackers to disrupt the GPS signal, or hijack your drone through its smartphone app.

Tips for Consumers to Protect Holiday Cheer To stay protected for a happier and safer holiday season, Intel Security has the following tips: • Secure your device. Your device is the key to

controlling your home and your personal information. Make sure you have comprehensive security software installed, like McAfee LiveSafe™.

•

Only use secure Wi-Fi. Using your devices, such as your smart home applications, on public Wi-Fi could leave you and your home open to risk. Keep software is up-to-date. Apply patches as they are released from the manufacturer. Install manufacturer updates right away to ensure that your device is protected from the latest known threats.

•

Use a strong password or PIN. If your device supports it, use multi-factor authentication (MFA) as it can include factors like a trusted device, your face, fingerprint, etc. to make your login more secure Check before you click. Be suspicious of links from people you do not know and always use internet security software to stay protected.

ingapore -Hitachi Data Systems (HDS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE:6501), today released its key Business and Technology Trends for Asia Pacific in 2017. According to Hubert Yoshida, chief technology officer of Hitachi Data Systems and Russell Skingsley, chief technology officer of Hitachi Data Systems Asia Pacific, digital transformation will continue to dominate enterprise IT strategies in 2017, as trends in a number of areas emerge.

upcoming Forbes Insights research survey, sponsored by HDS, enterprises in APAC generally believe they are further ahead in their digital transformation journeys than their global counterparts. A belief that is likely to be validated in 2017.

“With digital transformation rising up the agenda of CIOs across the world in 2016, we expect to see an increasing number of organizations striving to reach digital maturity in 2017,” comments Skingsley. According to the findings of an

1:Productivity Gains Will Be More About People, Process and Business Outcomes

In line with the Forbes survey, which will be officially published end of November, Yoshida and Skingsley have identified five trends for the technology market in 2017.

Despite the explosion of new technology over the past 10 years, productivity has declined compared

to the previous 10 years according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. According to Yoshida, this is because new processes have not kept up with new technologies. continue on page 31

In the hospitality business, Airbnb has had access to the same technology as traditional hotels, but it has created a new business model that has enabled it to grow to a market valuation of $30B USD in less than 10 years. Digital transformation is about transforming the business through people and process, as well as through innovative use of technology. As a result, agile infrastructure, cloud, and the benefits of DevOps will gain greater attention as a way to speed up the development and deployment of applications and services with less defects and wasted effort.

with management software, IT will want access to the converged systems required to deliver infrastructure-as-a-service. These will enable enterprises to drive out even more cost and streamline infrastructure operations even further by combining converged solutions, like Hitachi’s United Compute Platform, with cloud management portals, like VMware vRealize, to deliver a pre-engineered approach for public, private, and hybrid cloud via a single management interface.

“The biggest benefit of agile infrastructure and cloud delivery models is the empowerment of those with the most business insight and most innovative ideas to drive their own technology projects. It’s really about putting the power of innovation into the hands of those with the best ideas”, added Skingsley

Bimodal IT refers to two modes of IT:

2: Accelerating Transition to Cloud Cloud-first strategies are the foundation for staying relevant in a fast-paced world, according to Ed Anderson- research vice president at Gartner. The Asian market has been quick to embrace this approach, with Asia leading the world in this year’s Cloud Readiness Index by Asia Cloud Computing Association. “It is clear that the predominant cloud model for the foreseeable future will be hybrid, as most understand the agility benefits of cloud but are not willing to move entirely to public cloud at this point. We expect this to continue throughout 2017,” comments Skingsley. As a result, IT managers across APAC will be focused on developing skills in cloud monitoring, cloud workload performance and security management, and cloud capacity management. Instead of buying infrastructure from different vendors and knitting them together

3: Bimodal IT

· Mode 1: Traditional — emphasizes safety, accuracy and availability. · Mode 2: Nonlinear — emphasizes agility and speed. In the same way that hybrid cloud will continue to be the predominant model for years to come, so too will bimodal IT continue to be necessary. While many may wish for the ability to simply do away with legacy application stacks and start afresh, the reality of the need for business continuity built on well understood and supported missioncritical systems continues. IT must be able to manage both modes and implement systems that can bridge between them. Converged infrastructure solutions can modernize mode 1 systems and bridge to mode 2 ones via orchestration and cloud ready interfaces. Skingsley adds, “From a storage perspective it is important that data from both IT modes can be leveraged, so organizations will look more to systems that can bridge the gap between the two. This means the ability to present cloud protocols, the capability to be instantiated on-premise or in public clouds and to facilitate data mobility between these environments.”

While the need to operate bi-modally may be seen as a necessary evil, organizations will not tolerate data being stranded in mode 1 islands at the cost of valuable business insight. Tools like Pentaho Enterprise Data Integration, that can bring together the data warehouse of mode 1, with the unstructured data of mode 2 to provide users with a clear view of all their data, will gain significant traction. 4: A Centralized Data Hub Data is becoming increasingly valuable. Recent IDC research revealed that 53% of organizations in the region consider big data and analytics important and have adopted or plan to adopt it in the near future. Companies are finding new ways to correlate and merge data from different sources to gain more insight, while repurposing old data for different uses. “It is a clear lesson learnt from the highly disruptive internetbased businesses that the ability to wield data effectively is extremely valuable. Many of these businesses are fundamentally data, a simple interface and insightful business logic. Traditional enterprises realize now that they have not used their valuable data as effectively as they might have,” says Skingsley. To ensure the governance and accessibility of this data, IT needs to create a centralized data hub for better management, use and protection of their data. This centralized hub will need to be an object store that can scale beyond the limitations of traditional storage systems, ingest data from different sources, and provide search across public and private clouds as well as mobile devices. Skingsley calls this the “repository of everything an organization knows” and believes that organizations can no longer abide by archiving or backup systems that leave this potentially important data stranded.

5: Growing Awareness of IoT in the Data Center The networking of things will affect every aspect of our lives, and while this may not become a major trend for APAC next year, according to Yoshida the decisions we make in IT in 2017 should be made with an eye to IoT. “The integration of IT and OT with analytics is the first step. Today, IoT requires data scientists and

researchers with deep domain expertise and most projects are in the proof-of-concept stage. In 2017 we will be at the stage where we have the recipe for IoT projects, like train-as-a-service or industry 4.0. Hitachi Data Systems, along with other divisions in Hitachi and outside partners, is developing an IoT core platform, Lumada, to develop these recipes and deliver baked IoT solutions that are open, adaptable, verified and secure,” comments Yoshida.

Russell Skingsley adds, “Next year’s trends are being driven by a clear enterprise demand to deliver on all the promises of digital transformation, with APAC set to lead the way. Regardless of industry, IT is seeing a fundamental shift as enterprises embrace the new revenue streams, efficiencies and possibilities provided by digitization.” For more information, please visit www.hds.com. sst

GCC education sector beefs up safety and security with biometric cloud-based systems Intersec 2017 shines spotlight on emerging technologies as Middle East outpaces global growth in biometric solutions

ubai, UAE: A Dubai university’s cloud-based Intersec 2017 | 22-24 January biometric time attendance system is growing in Dubai International Convention and Exhibition popularity across the Gulf Cooperation Council Centre (GCC), as the regional education sector joins other industries adopting new technology to boost safety and security. The Hult International Business School in Dubai was the first to test Swiss company TBS’s (Touchless Biometric Technology) 3D technology to record class attendance via a wirelessly connected kiosk and a touchless fingerprint sensor at the entrance of each lecture room, ensuring all students sign-in, even if they’re late. Alex Zarrabi, CEO of TBS, said the successful installation on the Dubai campus served as a persuasive example to Hult’s other locations, spanning over three continents; its readers are now installed in Hult campuses in London, Boston, and San Francisco. “All four sites on three continents are synchronised instantly, giving the college real-time and global control on their time and attendance data for all their students,” said Zarrabi, who will showcase the TBS 3D-Terminal and other biometric access control solutions at the Intersec trade show taking place in Dubai in January 2017. “The TBS solution allows seamless monitoring of student transfers between campuses, allowing for instant automatic and accurate tracking across different time zones. The benefits and its ease of use have convinced many universities. It’s not only solving attendance for Hult, but also for other prestigious colleges in the Gulf, such as Umm Al Qura and Hail universities in Saudi Arabia, and more than 1,000 schools for the Ministry of Education in Oman. This list is constantly growing,” he said. TBS is one of many exhibitors showcasing biometric and cloud-based security solutions at Intersec 2017, the world’s largest trade show for security, safety, and fire protection, which takes place from 22-24 January at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre. The rise in emerging technologies comes as the global market for biometrics systems is expected to reach US$24.4 billion by 2020, according to research firm MarketsandMarkets, growing annually by 18% between 2015 and 2020. Analysts from TechNavio forecast that biometrics in Middle East will grow faster at 19% annually up to 2019. continue on page 33

Zarrabi said the rising popularity of biometrics in the Middle East is down to several factors: “The Middle East is a world-leader in biometrics, regardless of economic ups and downs,” he said. “There’s a higher awareness about safety and security issues and consequently customers plan to allocate the corresponding budget. Additionally, Techsavvy GCC governments have an inclination for convenient modern solutions based on biometrics and allow their widespread usage”. Added Zarrabi: “Biometric readers can be used not only for monitoring attendance, but also for regulating access to secure locations. Industries range from Energy sector, Corporations, Healthcare, Government, Education, Finance, Airports and more. “TBS readers can perform both functionalities simultaneously, logging time and granting access. One example is Abu Dhabi Media Company, which uses 3D touchless fingerscan on speed gates at the entrance. In one go, both attendance is logged and access is controlled.” Another exhibitor at Intersec 2017 with a wide range of biometric solutions is Matrix Comsec from India, which returns to launch its COSEC DOOR FMX, a high-performance Door Controller with a multispectral sensor that reads wet, dirty, elderly, and oily fingers. Sagar Gosalia, Senior Vice President for Marketing and Sales at Matrix Comsec said that the company’s biometric Access Control and Time-Attendance solution is hugely popular in the Middle East and African market: “The last 12 months have been quite exciting for us,” he said. “We’ve successfully executed a few major projects across the Middle East, installing Time-Attendance and Access Control solutions for Paris Group and Dulsco in Dubai, the United Development Company and Qatar Metro in Qatar, Khimji Ramdas in Oman, Al Mujdui in Saudi Arabia, and the Kuwait Oil Corporation in Kuwait. “We’ve been a growing player in the Middle East and Africa, and would like to continue the same trend for the upcoming year.

Event Security and the Next Bout of Video Technology 34

Security Solutions Today â&#x20AC;¢ January / February 2017

arge-scale events pose a unique threat to security officials, with the possibility of unruly crowds, low lighting during a concert or show, and the problems associated with the entering and exiting of thousands of people at the same time. Officials in these locations oversee keeping peace while responding to incidents and using data gathered to address potential problems proactively. Investing in advanced technologies, such as video surveillance and business intelligence, enables stakeholders to deliver a safe, exciting and exclusive entertainment experience. Video surveillance solutions can go a long way in protecting assets, attendees and staff during and after events, while also providing officials with valuable information on how best to respond to issues of overcrowding or high traffic in certain areas. In this article, we outline several ways video technology can be used in large-event and stadium security.

Panoramic Event Coverage

By Stuart Rawling, Director of Global Business Development, Pelco by Schneider Electric

Panoramic surveillance has taken a front seat in recent years, offering end users the ability to deploy a single camera in place of four to five traditional pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras, resulting in significant cost savings. For a specific event, panoramic cameras achieve broader coverage and improved image quality with fewer hardware investments. For example, in a large parking area, a panoramic camera can be used to assess potential threats during slower times, and monitor activity in real time. Another example is in tunnels, such as those found in a service area or leading into an arena. PTZ cameras can only see in the direction they are facing – and in some cases, incidents may occur where the camera is not pointing. Using a panoramic camera, however, can eliminate these “blind spots” by providing continuous coverage.

Video Management and Storage In any event situation, incidents will arise involving angry fans, accidental slips and falls, or even vandalism and theft. The ability to quickly and efficiently pull up footage surrounding one of these incidents is critical for officials. With video management system (VMS), officials can pinpoint the exact time and location of an incident using thumbnail and timeline searches for much faster and more accurate investigations. Additionally, many VMS solutions offer a mobile application, which means officials on the ground can see exactly what’s going on in a control room at any given time, helping direct them to the scene faster and more accurately in the event of an incident. VMS platforms also have the ability to use built-in analytics to analyze traffic flow during an event or engage in people counting, which can be used to help stakeholders

gain more insight into peak traffic areas. For example, video cameras can collect footage from the mezzanine of an event arena. Then, the data collected can be analyzed based on the number of people in a certain area of the arena or as a result of apparent congestion in a specific location. This information can be used to alert officials to potential problems that, if not addressed, can hinder official response in the event of a threat. Additionally, traffic flow issues can be mitigated in real-time so that officials can open a new lane for security screenings or another door for more exit options. The intelligence delivered by analytics not only helps officials maintain a secure presence during a large-scale event, the data also can be used to streamline business operations.

Lighting Challenges

Large concerts often stadiums and arenas to under minimal lighting, way for pyrotechnic and

light shows that have become synonymous with today’s largest tours. Artists want to dim lights or use bright spotlights during performances, so officials have to be prepared to capture clear images in any scenario. Superior image quality in extreme lighting conditions is critical for today’s modern arenas and stadiums, which is why deploying cameras with low-light capabilities is crucial. For many arenas, stadiums and large-scale event spaces, video surveillance solutions are valuable tools for enhancing the safety and security of attendees, artists, athletes and staff, as well as millions of dollars in assets. Not only can video data be used to maintain security during major events and concerts, it can also be used to optimize business operations for building management and personnel in an effort to streamline proactive response.

KEEPING UP A STEADY FLOW OF INFORMATION | APPLICATIONS

Keeping up a steady flow of information Global scope combined with local support: secure radio communications from Airbus Defence and Space for safe and well-coordinated sporting events

op sporting events are magical moments for sportsmen and women and audiences alike with many records being made, goals scored and victories celebrated. A huge amount of effort goes into the meticulous planning of such events, which takes months and even years depending on size, with hundreds of people organising the event for many thousands or millions of TV viewers. Essential for the organisation of successful sports events are secure communications between organisers and participants. For many years now, digital radio communications have facilitated the secure and fast transmission of essential information. Providers of this technology are involved in arranging events such as the Olympic Games or football tournaments: for instance Airbus Defence and Space, as the major provider of Professional Mobile Radio technology, provided event managers and staff not only with radios, base stations and independent network coverage, but also advised them to provide extensive support on the operation of these radio communications systems. To set up a stable and effective radio network, Airbus Defence and Space needs to know in advance the size of the site, the

number of people attending the event and the complexity of the coordination team. Looking back to 2016, Airbus Defence and Space was able to successfully support some of the most exhilarating sport events: the Olympic Games in Rio, the European football championships EURO 2016 in France and the Biathlon World Cup in Oslo. To protect the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Airbus Defence and Space equipped the Brazilian federal police with radio communication

systems based on Tetrapol technology. The existing network in Rio de Janeiro implemented by Airbus Defence and Space covered all crucial locations, including the main venues, such as Maracanã and the Olympic village, the airports and the main routes of the city. In addition, radio communication for public safety services was available within the venues and the basement of Maracanã. This network also covered stadiums in the cities of Brasília, São Paulo, Salvador, Belo Horizonte and Manaus where football matches took place as part of the Olympics.

Space coordinated the actions of public safety organisations to ensure security during Europe’s most important football event, the EURO 2016 football tournament. During the competition, 42,000 police officers, 30,000 gendarmes and 5,000 rescue service personnel all worked towards securing the stadiums and host cities.

During the games, the radio system in Rio consisted of 11 Tetrapol base stations with eight channels supporting more than 2,000 TPH700 terminals from Airbus Defence and Space in use by more than 40 conversation groups simultaneously; also core equipment and communication links in order to provide good network capacity. “Tetrapol was the official means of communication for all federal police staff involved in the operation. All our officers were coordinated through Tetrapol. Helicopters, boats and tactical vehicles were

also equipped with mobile Tetrapol terminals. Therefore, Tetrapol met our expectations,” says Aluisio Sardinha, coordinator of federal police Tetrapol operations in Rio de Janeiro. The federal police also cooperated with more than 50 foreign police forces to ensure the safety of the athletes and visitors. The Tetrapol system was integrated with the radio network of other forces. The French mission-critical radio networks INPT and RUBIS provided by Airbus Defence and

To reinforce security during the EURO 2016 event, tactical cells were set up to ensure communications for the special forces. Moreover, several fixed Tetrapol repeaters were placed at strategically important sites, such as police headquarters and stadiums. These tactical cells were interconnected via a virtual private network so the police forces could exchange information in the usual manner, inside and outside the grounds. This meant that they could also stay in permanent contact with the crisis management team based in Paris. To enable fast and secure communication among the coordination staff during the Biathlon World Championships 2016 in Oslo Holmenkollen, Airbus Defence and Space provided Tetra based systems: 260 Airbus Defence and Space THR9i and THR880i Tetra radios were used, as well as 26 base stations, a DXT3c switch and several RCS9500s. “The organising committee relied on a radio communication network that had been tried and tested at other large sports events”, says Erik Trosby, chief of communications in Oslo 2016 and in charge of the local organising committee. All of these events were a success because they proceeded smoothly and ended safely.

ow can a temporary event be secured with certified crash equipment that can be simply towed away when the occasion is over – from protecting farmers’ market shoppers from an errant vehicle or a political event from car and truck bombers? Today, that question can be answered simply – with portable barriers. Moveable self-contained barricades can be towed into position to control vehicle access within 15 minutes to answer the need of organizations that quickly require a temporary barricade system to address a specific threat or secure a facility during special events. They were created for military checkpoints in Afghanistan and Iraq to provide another level of force protection. Three lengths -3.7, 4.9 and 6.1 m – have been built over the years. These mobile deployable vehicle crash barriers carry a M40 rating, stopping 7.5 ton (6803 kg vehicles traveling 64.4 kph. No excavation or sub-surface preparation is required. Once towed into position, the portable barricade uses DC-powered hydraulic pumps to unpack and raise and lower itself off its wheels. There is no hand cranking. Wheels are stored along the sides and the vehicle ramps fold out, completing

The mobile deployable vehicle crash barriers have also helped police and military officers protect 60 heads of state and other global leaders, over 2,000 journalists, other attendees and onlookers at the Chicago NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) Summit. Ten MP5000 mobile deployable vehicle crash barriers additionally helped the 4,000 police and military officers that protected participants at the Pittsburgh G-20 Summit.

Procurement Often Simplified

Within months of introduction, the Los Angeles Police Department obtained the barriers for a host of duties. During heighted security threats, the MP5000s can easily be installed to create a safe zone at the outer areas surrounding the Parker Center headquarters. They are also used for special events, such as Hollywood awards ceremonies including the Academy Awards, major sporting contests, high-profile trials, or in the potential event of riots or natural disasters such as earthquakes to provide extra security where it is needed. Ordered by the Secret Service and provided through Global Access Control Systems (Pittsburgh), certified crash barriers also protected attendees at both the Republican and Democratic Conventions this past summer in Cleveland and Philadelphia. The fact that these barriers were ordered well in advance of the tragedy in Nice is indicative of the great foresight and planning that is undertaken by the United States Secret Service.

From a purchasing standpoint, it can be easier to buy portable barriers than permanent barriers. The latter are oftentimes placed into an organization’s real assets budget because they are permanently installed into the ground, becoming part of the property. Such budgets can often create complex purchasing scenarios for an agency. However, purchasing portable barriers is no different than buying protective vests for personnel or new sets of wrenches for the maintenance department.

Portable barriers were also at both political conventions in 2012 in Tampa and Charlotte as well as at the Presidential Inauguration events January 21, 2013, to aid police and military officers in protecting the president, congressional leaders, judges, journalists, other attendees and onlookers. During the Presidential Inauguration events, not one vehicle got into position to cause harm.

For one-time uses, a lease plan has been created where organizations can simply lease the portable barriers, use them, pack them up and return them. Delta always keeps an inventory for purchase and quick delivery at their manufacturing facility in Palmdale, Calif. That’s because, in many cases, they are needed for events that come up quickly, such as politician or celebrity visits and other unexpected incidents.

lobally, education facilities – from K-12 to colleges and universities – face more threats to the safety and security of students than at any other point in history. As a result, governments, school officials and administrators are tasked with making the most of declining budgets to find solutions that can help address these threats and keep students safe. However, each and every campus is different; open vs. closed facilities, multiple buildings vs. a single structure, adults vs. small children – all of these factors come into play when adopting comprehensive security solutions. So what are some of the factors these officials need to consider? Today’s access control trends span a number of different directions, and here, we breakdown some of the latest.

make it easier for multiple agencies to collaborate in the event of an emergency, which can lead to a quicker, more efficient response. For example, school officials can turn access over to police officers in the event of an emergency, who can then make immediate decisions on whether to grant access to a particular building, perform a lockdown or simply access records of who went through which door while viewing corresponding video data.

Event Access Management Twenty years ago, when an event took place on a campus, there had to be someone with a physical key to let people in and out of a building, and in some cases for large-scale events, this meant a whole team. With today’s security management systems (SMS) that are fully integrated with event management software, this process is no longer necessary, saving these institutions money in manpower and easing the burden of securing buildings when they aren’t in use.

For example, students who would like to access study facilities or presentation rooms are granted access depending on certain permissions criteria. The student can then access the room with their student identification card, which allows the university to keep tabs on damage or security issues related to this access.

Integration Between Systems Investment in solutions that easily work cohesively to save money and resources goes a long way in the education sector, where budgets can be spread thin amongst other campus-wide priorities. Today’s access control systems are working hand-in-hand with outside software programs to provide more than simply access. In some instances, a single swipe of an access card can communicate to the building management system to turn on lights in a certain part of a building. In this case, the SMS and building management software work together to not only control access,

Schools with video cameras in place and access control systems that monitor people entering and exiting a facility are collecting a large amount of data in a very short amount of time. Today’s higher education facilities are exploring ways to mine this data to find out more about how students are using a particular building, classroom or area of the university. This information not only offers valuable insight on usage, but also analyzes traffic flow patterns that help streamline campus-wide planning and operations. Analytics can help pinpoint problems before they arise, thwarting potential threats to the safety and security of faculty and students. To better leverage their investments, colleges and universities are exploring new ways of using access control systems and security management systems. Open platforms that are capable of real-time integration with multiple databases and transactional systems offer greater benefits to these institutions and make the most out of their security installations.

CITY OF ATLANTA – SAFE CITY | APPLICATIONS

City of Atlanta – Safe City

he City of Atlanta has a population of over 420,000. It is the cultural and economic center of the Atlanta metropolitan area, which is home to more than five MILLION people and is the ninth largest metropolitan area in the United States. Additionally, Atlanta is one of the United States’ leading tourist destinations, both for American residents and those visiting the U.S. from abroad. In 2010, the City was the seventhmost visited city in the United States with over 35 MILLION visitors per year.

Protecting Citizens Ensuring the safety and security of citizens and visitors is key to the success and progress of any city. This is especially true for Atlanta, one of the most multi-cultural cities in the U.S., which is attracting investment from across the globe. As with any large city, Atlanta is becoming more reliant on the use of visual intelligence to enable improved situational awareness, which helps to identify and resolve security incidents faster and more incisively. Over the years, the City of Atlanta has invested in a number of surveillance systems to provide law enforcement and other public safety professionals with visual intelligence, well before first responders arrive on scene. Recently, the City upgraded aging analog cameras to digital, and moved from leased line to wireless backhaul. Historically, these systems had all operated independently and had been located across a wide geography.

Operation Shield Government agencies across the U.S. are working hard to increase collaboration on public safety efforts to achieve better efficiency and effectiveness in leveraging public security assets. One of the most cost effective methods to increase the amount and quality of intelligence available to government agencies is to deploy a centralized camera integration center. Atlanta approached this

challenge by launching Operation Shield in 2007, through the Atlanta Security Council. Operation Shield is a three-pronged security program designed to leverage existing infrastructure (cameras and radio communications) through engaging the private sector and various government agencies. The most recent development in Operation Shield has been the establishment of a centralized Video Integration Center (VIC) by the City of Atlanta Police Department. The VIC is a rapidly-developing surveillance network which provides 24/7 real time crime prevention, emergency preparedness and heightened response capability throughout the City. Dave Wilkinson, President & CEO of the Atlanta Police Foundation commented, “The Atlanta Police Department has a plan in place to utilize technology in its mission to reduce crime. Atlanta has launched Operation Shield which will not only leverage cameras, but also data and video analytics to better fight crime bringing the crime numbers down even lower than their 30 year low of today.” Operation Shield’s three-pronged success formula; video integration, COMNET (radio network for private security to communicate with APD in real time), and text alerts is enabling VIC stakeholders to effectively bridge communication gaps between the Atlanta Police Department, participating agencies and entities and the City’s business community.

A Next Generation Solution Grant Hawkins, Vice President of Programs & Strategic Projects, Atlanta Police Foundation explained “The Operation Shield team visited numerous cities throughout the United States and was able to note best practices, lessons learned, and be exposed to the latest technology in action. This research and planning gave Operation Shield’s leadership the tools and knowledge to design and build a system that brings together key aspects of the best video integration projects from around the United States to the Atlanta Police Department with best in class tools and technologies to reduce crime

and respond to emergency situations.” To protect citizens, commerce and infrastructure, the City needed to be confident that the tools and technologies selected had been proven within the Safe City framework. They selected CNL Software’s IPSecurityCenter as the command and control platform as it was deployed in the largest and most complex Safe City projects in the world. IPSecurityCenter works by connecting the diverse range of systems into the operating platform, ensuring operators do not need to learn the underlying technology, allowing them to focus on the situations that are occurring. The system has given the Atlanta Police Department the capability to integrate public and private video systems, video with computer aided dispatch (CAD), into an integrated suite of emergency dispatch applications allowing call takers and dispatchers to manage incident information more efficiently.

Public/Private Partnerships The Atlanta Police Department and the Atlanta Police Foundation have accomplished their vision to develop one of the United States’ strongest publicprivate sector partnerships. Atlanta is becoming the model city for public/private sector partnerships providing significant benefits to the citizens and visitors of the area. City leadership has leveraged the partnerships to deliver a sound foundation for Operation Shield and is poised to expand its current state to become the standard for Safe City projects across the nation. In addition to providing funding and competencies, the Atlanta Police Foundation has been instrumental in facilitating the resolution of one of the biggest challenges faced when establishing the Video Integration Center: addressing the size and scale of the integration which is driven by the disparate and legacy nature of video systems across the City, other governmental entities, and the private sector. Using IPSecurityCenter, cameras owned by organizations using proprietary technologies, can be targeted for integration. For example, the City’s Metro Atlanta Rail and Transit Authority (MARTA) operates more than 1,300 cameras, which were previously only accessible in the MARTA command center. Likewise, Hartsfield Jackson International Airport, the world’s busiest airport, had its own proprietary camera systems that will also be connected to the Video Integration Center.

Security Solutions Today • January / February 2017

Similarly, and as is typical across the nation, the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) spent millions of dollars deploying a statewide camera system which only fed information into the GDOT Traffic Control Center. The City of Atlanta is also home to two of the State’s largest universities and 7 colleges, each with their own security systems. As part of their vision, the City also wanted to integrate a large number of private cameras located in the City, from sources ranging from the CNN Center and Coca-Cola to the Publix Supermarkets and the sizeable number of Fortune 500 companies located in the City – further increasing the complexity of bringing all of these systems into one common platform.

Increased Situational Awareness Once connected to the IPSecurityCenter platform, a common set of controls will be available for all video sources, enabling operators to seamlessly move from a camera located on a downtown street to one located in a shopping mall to one located in a bus station, allowing operators to observe incidents as they unfold. Increasing the partnership with other agencies, the Video Integration Center will be able to instantly distribute and share this intelligence to all relevant stakeholders enabling rapid responses following incidents. Through development of one common operating platform, the City of Atlanta is able to work with various agencies, entities and develop protocols for preventing, detecting, and responding to unfolding events. The information-sharing network provides a new approach to a safer city.

Increasing Efficiencies Crime, by its nature, has significant costs to any city - Its costs are far greater than the direct costs associated with policing. Some of the key cost reductions resulting from the IPSecurityCenter solution include reducing policing costs through greater efficiency, reduced overall crime levels, increased incarceration rates and faster prosecution through the courts and legal system. IPSecurityCenter also offers other involved agencies significant capital cost savings because, by tapping into the VIC, they do not need to bring their own infrastructure to levels of tools and technologies

CITY OF ATLANTA – SAFE CITY | APPLICATIONS

now provided by the VIC. The ability to access video from private enterprise furthers the attractiveness of the return on investment for the system. Dave Wilkinson, President and CEO, Atlanta Police Foundation commented “We are leveraging the private sector investment in cameras and infrastructure – making Operation Shield a unique model - allowing the Atlanta Police Department, at a substantially lower cost, to keep citizens and visitors safe.”

Intelligence Driven Policing Operation Shield’s future continues to grow with APD’s deployment of an Integrated Predictive Policing (IPP) Model, which is transforming policing across the United States. Predictive policing models are the newest tools for law enforcement using advanced technological tools and data analysis to take proactive measures to “pre-empt” crime. By combining Video Integration, multi-agency crime data and public records with other analytic technologies, Operation Shield effectively provides crime reduction and accountability, while serving as a force multiplier and increasing resource efficiency. IPSecurityCenter is enabling Atlanta to implement the IPP model. It would not be viable to manage the vast amount of video coming into the VIC without IPSecurityCenter’s ability to intelligently catalogue, map and visualize the right video at the right time with data elements already on file. One unique feature of this system is its ability to integrate many of the newest social media analytics. Officers and Detectives identify emerging crime trends and are able to predict where crimes are likely to occur by using social media analysis, data mining techniques and other advanced analytics to identify trends, major actors, associates, and elements of crimes.

emerging crime trends and stop crime before it impacts a community. Commanders issue crimefighting strategies based on an analysis of crime patterns, enabling officers to multiply their capabilities through an expansive array of innovative technologies including sensors, video cameras, license plate readers, automatic vehicle location, geospatial correlation and facial recognition technology.

Visualization and Reports Every agency has its own need for management information and reporting. The system provides an enterprise level-reporting engine, automating and delivering effective reports and statistics on overall system performance, device availability, operational effectiveness and any of the SOPs defined by the City. IPSecurityCenter delivers a custom dashboard solution fusing disparate security technologies into one common platform. This results in reduced training time and greater operational efficiency for the officers, police department and the City. Citywide integrated data is presented geo-spatially on the Operation Shield dashboard. This common operating view provides domain awareness and a real time visual of the City’s crime trends.

More than Crime Reduction As with any enterprise level system, there is a constant need to increase the system, in terms of the number of users, geographic coverage and new functionality. IPSecurityCenter allows an easy migration path to incorporate new technologies such as gunshot detection systems, tracking systems and smart video (like LPR) and analytics – all helping to enable greater intelligence driven policing.

Following an incident, when seconds count most, the system provides exceptional connectivity tools allowing camera images to be rapidly referenced against analytics and data providing a clear picture to responders. Armed with immediate situational awareness, operators are able to respond to incidents with greater accuracy and can ensure the most appropriate response to combat threats, crime and anything that can jeopardize the safety of citizens, commerce and infrastructure.

IPSecurityCenter offers integration capability allowing Atlanta to lead the way in intelligent policing. It provides the City with the framework needed to reach both public and private systems, which is required to realize the City’s vision for public-private partnerships in the foreseeable future. Soon it will also allow Atlanta to make material improvements in areas of public safety other than crime, such as flood plain monitoring and fire and other emergency services, making Atlanta a Safer City.

A Fresher Look At Security On Campus

ecurity is an important aspect of university life. Students, staff and visitors all need to feel that they can move around campus safely and that a university is an enjoyable place to study, work and visit. While physical security is of paramount importance, protecting property such as valuable ICT and electronic equipment on campus is also vital. One way to do this is by using a property marking system such as Selectamark permanent marking, which leaves a visible mark on an item, clearly identifying which university it belongs to. Selectamark is produced by a UK security company of the same name and was launched in the early 1990s. It is a popular choice as a visible theft deterrent today, often being used in conjunction with tamper proof labels. Also available from the company is an Asset ID system and a wide range of asset labels under the SelectaLabel brand. The Selectamark database, where marked property is registered, is accessible globally to assist overseas police forces in identifying marked items. The database operates to the highest standards, having most recently achieved ISO27001, covering the safe and secure management of information internationally. A new Selectamark distributor has just started trading in Thailand with a major focus on helping to reduce crime in

the education sector. This follows on from great success using Selectamark to protect valuable assets from theft at hundreds of UK schools, colleges and universities. Security consultant Steve Wright from Securus Asia will start off by marketing Selectamark and SelectaLabel products in his region. “We will initially focus on introducing the product range to areas such as the Education sector,” said Steve. “With Thailand and the UK having a similar population, we aim to eventually mirror the success of Selectamark’s UK business by adding other Selectamark products in the future.” One of the company’s other products is SelectaDNA, a forensic marking product which was launched in 2004 and is the first true DNA security system in the property marking field. SelectaDNA is being used extensively at universities across the UK including at Bath University, the London School of Economics and at Dundee University. At the start of the new academic year in October, thousands of new students known as ‘Freshers’ arrived

on UK campuses with an array of gadgets including laptops, digital cameras, smart phones, games consoles and iPads. Many universities arranged security-marking events to mark their valuable electronic equipment with SelectaDNA, which doesn’t damage the marked item in any way, but provides a unique DNA code that links the item to its owner. In the event that the item is stolen or lost, it can be traced back to the owner if it is recovered. Brian Schofield, Head of Security Services at the University of Bath said: “We are asking students to take ownership and responsibility of their property by marking it with SelectaDNA.” He added: “Local thieves know that when students arrive they usually bring new equipment, so by encouraging the use of SelectaDNA we want to eliminate the risk of theft for our students and deter criminals at the same time. “SelectaDNA is the latest in forensic marking products and as far as we are concerned it is another ‘tool in the toolbox’ that we can use to protect our students.” Meanwhile, at the London School of Economics, over 2,000 items of university property including laptops and PCs have been marked by the university’s in-house security team, and SelectaDNA kits are being offered to students to mark their own valuable property. SelectaDNA recently entered a new partnership with Securitas, one of the UK’s largest security providers, and the University of Hertfordshire. Securitas, which looks after security provision at the university, is using SelectaDNA to mark valuable equipment in a new, state-of-the-art Apple Mac ICT lab containing iMacs and iPads.

SelectaDNA Spray is also being fitted to the doors of the lab to deter theft. In the event that anyone did break into the lab, they would be sprayed with an incriminating DNA spray that would link them to the crime scene. Meanwhile, high value electronic equipment installed in state-of-the-art laboratories at the University of Northumbria is being protected from theft by SelectaDNA forensic marking. The £30 million Sport Central complex at Northumbria, Newcastle has been designed as a world-class training and event venue and contains £275,000 worth of IT equipment aswell as a hi-tech golf simulator worth £60,000, all of which has been marked with SelectaDNA. IT suites containing more than £30,000 worth of Mac equipment at the university’s London School of Design have also been marked. Head of Security at Northumbria University, said: “We have taken delivery of some amazing top of the range equipment which is not only of high-value financially to the university, but is also of high-value to our students and visitors who are using these world-class facilities for their studies.” He continued: “We are committed to reducing the risk of burglary at Northumbria and the use of SelectaDNA is a large part of that commitment.” Headquartered near London in the UK, Selectamark serves its customers both directly and through a wide network of nearly 40 distributors worldwide including in the Asia Pacific region: Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Hong Kong and the new venture in Thailand.

“Ochtum Park” Outlet Centre protected with Panomera® multifocal sensor technology “Ochtum Park” Factory Outlet Centre in Bremen relies on Panomera® multifocal sensor technology from Dallmeier to safeguard its outdoor premises.

nyone who has ever paid their respects to the Town Musicians of Bremen and then wanted to do a little shopping is in exactly the right place in Ochtum Park. Over 50 businesses occupying an area of 22,000 square metres attract 2.5 million visitors every year. World leading brands like Esprit, Nike, Puma, Tommy Hilfiger or Fossil, many restaurants and free parking all combine to make Ochtum Park a real shoppers’ paradise.

Complete and discreet In order to provide the most effective protection possible for the entrances and exits as well as the outdoor and car parking areas, the decision was taken to install the most modern video security equipment – which should also be discreet and unobtrusive, as recounted by Sebastian Kühne, the spokesman for the owners: “We wanted coverage of the outdoor areas to be as complete as possible, but without having to install huge numbers of cameras. After all, we want our visitors to feel comfortable here, not as if they are constantly being watched.” Ochtum Park found the solution in the Panomera® multifocal sensor technology from Dallmeier. With its patented camera technology, which unlike single sensor cameras works with multiple lenses, this system can monitor a huge expanse in the highest possible resolution from a single installation location. And in addition: “The cameras have been painted the same RAL colour as the building façades, so they blend discreetly with the overall image”, explains Dirk Lüders, Sales Manager with Dallmeier and joint manager of the Ochtum Park project. Dallmeier prepared the concept for video protection in cooperation with the design and engineering consultancy IfaS (Institut für angewandte Sicherheitstechnik -

Institute for applied Security technology), and the company Freihoff then installed the cameras. “One of the challenges we faced at Ochtum Park was that we were asked not to undertake any large-scale cable laying to transmit the images to the security office” explains Christian Linthaler, Sales Manager with Dallmeier. “So we set up a wireless local loop to carry the streams.”

Good visibility in low light conditions A major consideration for Ochtum Park was that the cameras should be extremely sensitive to light, so that they would still deliver detailed image material with high colour fidelity even at night with poor light conditions. For this reason, the Panomera® Nightline series was chosen, because it is equipped with the very latest generation of image sensors and encoders, which is highly sensitive to light and infrared radiation. The Nightline cameras are equipped with an ambient light sensor and a removable IR cut filter and can switch between day and night mode automatically. They are ideally suited to situations in which exceptional contrast, brilliant clarity and high colour fidelity even in poor light conditions, or exceptional infrared sensitivity for outstanding results in night mode are required. “We can identify individuals from a distance of 160 m, and even read car licence plates at night. The resolution is really incredible”, Sebastian Kühne gives voice to his enthusiasm.

The MFS systems are supplemented with IP cameras with integrated infrared illumination, which is assured with semi-discrete 850 nm high-performance LEDs.

Reliable recording The camera images are recorded on multiple Dallmeier IPS 2400 appliances. The IPS 2400 is a powerful video appliance with integrated storage system for reliable recording and storage of the video material. The “Smavia Recording Server” recording software is already preinstalled. The IPS 2400 includes high-performance server hardware with a multi-core CPU. The integrated storage system (8x 3.5” hard disks) offers ample storage capacity. A sophisticated hardware concept and perfectly synchronised components also enable rapid storage speed. With the “EasyChange” functionality, hard disks can be replaced quickly and simply from the front of the device. The IPS 2400 has been certified by LGC Forensics, which means that image material obtained with this equipment is admissible as evidence in a court of law. The video streams are analysed centrally in the security office at Ochtum Park. “Operation is really simple and intuitive”, Sebastian Kühne is full of praise.

Completely satisfied The system was commissioned in the presence of representatives from the designers, the installer, the manufacturer and of course the end customer. “The cooperation between the individual companies worked well, and we have the feeling that we are in good hands”, says Sebastian Kühne. His final word on multifocal sensor technology is unequivocal: “There would not have been any other camera system that can cover such enormous expanses from so few installation points.” For more information, please visit www.dallmeier.com and www.panomera.com. sst

Vienna Technical Museum Exhibits Video-Enabled City of the Future Thanks to Milestone

ilestone Systems together with ESSECCA, SALTO and Sony show the use of video monitoring and access control in the “Future of the City” special exhibition at the Vienna Technical Museum. This exhibition provides information about the development of urban living space.

The Challenges The Museum needed to show in their exhibition “Future of the City” that coming cities will be smart cities using video to optimize city functions and ensure that the citizens are safe. Furthermore the system had to be highly flexible to ensure that the exhibition had the high quality level that the museum required.

The Solution Milestone XProtect with a Smart Wall enabled the Museum to highlight the use of video in a smart city. The open platform technology used in XProtect empowered the museum to design the perfect solution for the exhibition.

Advantages The open platform technology used in the Milestone VMS allowed the museum to choose the perfect solutions from the Milestone partner community, showing not only what is possible today, but also hinting at the future video applications for smart cities.

User-friendly and intuitive In cities of the future, security will play a greater role than ever because cities will be much larger and more interconnected than they are today. At the same time, video solutions, access control and alarm management will also play a significant role. “For video monitoring and equipment in the Vienna Technical Museum, XProtect Corporation solution from Milestone Systems was used as it offers open IP video management software”, explains Michael Reiner. “Hence, an integrated solution with various external systems is how we have the greatest possible flexibility”. From the customer’s point of view,

operation of the software is also a major factor. Because, in spite of the extensive functions that Milestone Systems products offer, the system is very easy to use. Thus, it is userfriendly and scores with intuitive operation. Moreover, there are many options for evaluating the data, from simple observation to the rendering of images where movement has taken place at a defined location. For the structure in the Vienna Technical Museum, alarm management is of paramount importance. This was combined with access control from SALTO. This guarantees the security of the building. As soon as an alarm is triggered here, the Milestone System activates the right camera and prompts automatic recording of the images.

large facility are faced. 300 cameras or more are often installed in city centres. However, it is impossible to follow activities from that many camera. Therefore, the video systems are configured to show an image from the most relevant camera as soon as an alarm is triggered— for instance, an attempt to access a certain area or detected motion in an area. Because of this intelligence situational awareness is increased. In the exhibition, the alarm is triggered by a door opening, as the door fitting is connected to the access control system via wireless connection. On the fourth image of the video wall, all the alarms are listed which the system has already detected.

Smartphone access via Bluetooth

A ramp leads into the exhibition in the Vienna Technical Museum, which is recorded by a 360-degree fisheye camera from Sony. This has two functions: Firstly, in order to be able to count the people who enter the competition and how many of them visit the area of the control station or the garbage room. On the other hand, visitors can play with the control unit of the camera themselves. For this, a touch monitor with a quadripartite video wall is mounted in the entrance hall based on the Milestone XProtect Corporate solution from Milestone Systems. This is a high-performance IP video management system for large facilities with the highest security requirements. A central administration panel enables efficient system management, including all cameras and security devices irrespective of the size or distribution across several locations. For systems that demand aboveaverage situational awareness and precise reaction to incidents, the solution has a Smart Wall function. In addition, it offers enhanced video thinning functions and encryption, which help organizations reduce the cost of video storage and at the same time ensure the integrity of video evidence and comply with industry-specific and government regulations. One of the four images on the video wall of the exhibition shows the images from the fisheye camera in the entrance area and facilitates its control—the touchscreen and zoom can be changed via touchscreen. The second image illustrates real-time statistics of the people counting from the exhibition entrance area, operating station and garbage room. In the third image, the view from a further Sony camera is displayed in the garbage room. It shows the situation with which the security personnel in a city or in a

Access control takes place on a further monitor in the entrance hall, which enables the trash door to be opened using a smart phone. This mobile access solution enables people to open the doors via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)-enabled smartphone technology. A Mobile App is required for this, which uses smartphone-integrated Bluetooth interface to communicate with the electronic door components. Visitors to the exhibition enter their name and their cellphone number on the screen on the video wall and receive the mobile key to the automated access authorization on the smartphone app. This takes place “Over the Air” (OTA) using the latest state-of-theart encryption. Using the cellphone key, they can then release the door locking mechanism, open it and enter the room. For visitors who do not to wish to enter their cellphone number, a Mifare DESFire access card is also available which can be used to open the door. Inside the entrance hall, a talking garbage can with the words “Thank you for your garbage” awaits visitors. “The openness to discuss and demonstrate innovations and products which are just emerging or are trailblazing is one particularly important point to us. We have opted for these products because the “networking-controllingmonitoring” areas of conflict can best be served directly in the personal domain, explains Lisa Noggler-Gürtler, exhibition curator at the museum. The installation in the garbage room shows what can be possible in cities in the future. If access to certain areas should only be possible by authorized persons, more security can be provided. At the same time, the requirements for the exhibition show that the integration of several solutions like video, access and alarm management is more and more important.

The video analytics used was the countvis solution from the Viennese company CogVis GmbH. It enables the counting of people in video streams via the use of state-of-the-art video analysis and the statistical analysis of the results in real-time via a web-interface or automatically generated reports. Using countvis, information about the utilization and occupancy of different areas can easily be evaluated and analyzed.

Security in urban spaces Around a half the world’s population today already live in cities and thus on only two percent of the world’s surface. According to estimates, even more than two thirds of the population will be living in cities by 2050. That shows that the city is the undisputed living space of the future. But here too, there are issues about organization, diet, living accommodation and mobility. The inhabitants of an urban space have different needs and constant innovation is required. In the two-yearlong “Future of the City” exhibition, which has been open since the beginning of June 2016, the Vienna Technical Museum has shown different perspectives from which the subject can be approached.

The solutions The access control systems in the exhibit works via the ProAccess SPACE management software from SALTO and JustIN Mobile BLE mobile access technology.

In order to show the potential applications in this regard, the integration firm ESSECCA and the Museum of Technology have designed one section of the special exhibition. Based on a garbage room, visitors can delve into access control and video monitoring. The areas addressed will include citizen-city-networking as well as access to public institutions. “The background to this is that the garbage room can only be used by persons who live or work there and thus are authorized to dispose of their garbage”, explains Michael Reiner, authorized officer at ESSECCA GmbH. This can also be expanded to bulky waste collection centers to which authorization can be granted based on license plate identification. As a leading supplier of electronic security solutions in Austria, ESSECCA develops flexible, holistic and client-oriented solutions for all buildings that offer a high degree of security and are convenient to use. The service provider offers its customers a one-stop shop, from expert advice, technology and installation right through to system integration, maintenance and servicing. Besides electronic and mechanical access solutions, the product and solution portfolio includes alarm and video systems as well as intercom systems and mechanical door control systems. With 250,000 access points realized and numerous alarm, video and intercom systems installed, ESSECCA has longstanding experience and can provide numerous notable references in all building sizes and business segments.

Lowest Domestic Burglary Figures in 25 Years The lowest figures for domestic burglary in Cheshire in 25 years have been recorded since the launch of Cheshire Constabulary’s Operation Shield using SelectaDNA.

peration Shield is a major anti-burglary operation protecting property and businesses across the county with DNA forensic marking. Since the campaign started in March, domestic burglaries fell by an impressive 41% in the space of just seven weeks, compared to 20102014 figures. James Brown, MD of Selectamark, said: “We are delighted that SelectaDNA has helped make Operation Shield a success in such a short space of time and has achieved a 25 year low for domestic burglaries.

“A 41% reduction in burglary in just seven weeks is a fantastic result and is reward for all the hard work that officers from Cheshire Police have been putting in to implement the scheme.” He continued: “It also shows how effective the ‘DNA fear factor’ is. Criminals know about SelectaDNA and fear that they will get caught by police if they are in possession of marked goods. These excellent results show that burglars are aware that the system is in place and are staying away from homes that are using SelectaDNA to protect valuable goods.”

emits a clear DNA-coded mist which cannot be rubbed off and sits on skin and clothing for weeks. Every person arrested in Cheshire is being screened by police under a special ultra violet light in custody. If they have committed a crime in an Operation Shield area, they will be marked, and the unique DNA will link them directly to the individual crime scene. More than 3,000 suspects have been screened for SelectaDNA so far.

But it is not just homeowners who are being protected by DNA marking under Operation Shield. Cheshire Police have also been provided with kits for businesses and retailers which use SelectaDNA Spray to protect their premises from robbery.

DI Peter Merrill, who was project lead on Operation Shield, said: “The operation commenced on the 3rd of March 2015 and I have no doubt, activity undertaken distributing the kits, supported by a carefully planned communication strategy, significantly contributed to Cheshire recording the lowest number of burglaries for the month of March in 25 years.”

The spray is activated when an intruder breaks into premises and

GJD’s Clarius PLUS used for worldwide television series Introduction GJD a world class manufacturer of advanced presence detection, LED illuminators and security lighting systems worked closely with HotCam who is a leading professional broadcast camera, audio, lighting equipment hire and crewing company. The collaboration required GJD’s LED illuminators to use during night vision filming for a worldwide television series.

The Challenge GJD was brought in to help HotCam Ltd. develop the perfect lighting solution. Due to the high scale of the project, it was essential that the Infra-Red Illuminators would provide a reliable and precision lighting solution. Covert IR lighting was a key specification, it was essential the illuminators had the ability of lighting up a room as if it was daylight to a night vision camera, but still appear dark to the human eye so people were unaware of filming. Image quality was also key as the camera footage had to meet strict television broadcast standards. It was important to capture visible images of objects without shadows and show people with clear facial identification. The lighting solution had to be completely accurate due to very key elements of the television series would be filmed in total darkness. The location of filming was in various sized rooms which would change from day to night, so both the illumination range and angle had to match the cameras field of view.

Lighting Solution After careful consideration and thorough testing, eight Medium Clarius PLUS Infra-Red illuminators were specified. The medium Clarius PLUS incorporates the latest surface mount Dual core LED’s with enhanced optical output and outstanding reliability to deliver excellent night-time images.

Key Facts • Covert Infra-Red lighting • Minimal visible glow • Variety of illumination angles out of the box • Crystal clear footage for international television series • Easy to install • Dedicated lighting for IP cameras via PoE+

The advanced technology allows for significantly more light to be delivered precisely where it is required. It also reduces light wastage, which helps to reduce costs and save energy without compromising on efficiency. A distinct feature of the Medium Clarius PLUS was its interchangeable lens diffuser system, which provides a quick and user-friendly method to easily alter the angle of illumination, therefore providing versatility whilst filming. The Clarius PLUS also has a very minimal visible glow; this ensured that the lighting was invisible to the actors. Another specialist feature was the modern PoE (power over Ethernet) technology, which provided the option to run power via PoE, this saved further cabling and lowered the maintenance costs. Joe Patterson, Technical Manager at HotCam commented: “We are very happy with how the Clarius PLUS LED illuminators performed and they were perfect for the application we required. GJD also provided us with an outstanding level of customer service, I am looking forward to working with GJD again.”

The Conclusion The use of GJD’s Clarius PLUS Infra-Red illuminators provided vision in total darkness. The illuminators worked well with HotCam’s cameras and provided a flexible solution as each unit came with a choice of angles out of the box. The equipment was ordered through NBM, who is one of GJD’s trusted distributors. NBM provided a quick and reliable service, which was essential due to the strict filming production schedule.

SECURITY FEATURE | TOP TECHNOLOGY TRENDS IN THE SECURITY MARKET TO LOOK FOR IN 2017

Top Technology Trends In The Security Market To Look For In 2017

he shops are getting busy, and, depending on which hemisphere you live in, it’s either time to turn on the central heating or break out the shorts and shades. But it’s also time to look ahead to 2017 and wonder what it might have in store for us. On a global level the world is going through turbulent times, with conflicts, political uncertainty, an ongoing refugee crisis and a somewhat fragile economic recovery from the most recent financial downturn. At the same time, technological developments continue unabated, with high-speed networks, big data and deep learning moving beyond that initial phase of just being marketing buzz words to enabling new and improved security offerings. Similarly, we expect the so-called ‘Internet of Things’ to be much less of a novelty and more of the fabric of our daily lives. However, that means manufacturers of internet-enabled devices will have to step up and take much more responsibility for the level of default security they ship with. All of these factors are likely to fuel demand for increased security, both physical and online.

Security as a Service As many other technologies have done, we expect customers will stop looking at physical security as simply being a collection of hardware and software connected to a network. Instead, we think they will start to see their security as a service – remote and professionally hosting and monitoring of video transmitted from the customer’s premise. Whether by

themselves, or more likely by sector-specific specialists who can not only take away the burden of managing the complex systems involved, but also reduce the costs of keeping those systems up to date and secure. This will not only free up internal resources which could be better focused elsewhere, but also improve the service level of the security system, enable better device management, and strengthen cyber security processes. On the topic of cybersecurity, we see an increased use of tools and practices that make network video a less vulnerable to attacks. In general, wider use of pre- and post-installation tools (such as Axis Site Designer, for example) will help in on-going monitoring and maintenance of systems.

TOP TECHNOLOGY TRENDS IN THE SECURITY MARKET TO LOOK FOR IN 2017 | SECURITY FEATURE

Integrated Solutions The security industry will continue its trends of offering more specific solutions to particular problems, rather than one-size fits all hardware/software. In the end, customers aren’t looking to buy a camera, or a video management system (VMS) – what they really want is to reduce shoplifting, or make sure only certain people can access the cash office, or keep track of potential threats in an airport. Although technology companies bandy around the word ‘solutions’ a lot, for once this really is the most apt term. The convergence of hardware and software as well as pre-installation and post installation tools as mentioned above, into end-toend solutions will be able to address specific security problems. They will consist of high-performance cameras, storage and access controls tightly integrated with video management and analytics tools. This approach will be easier for customers to purchase, install and implement, while offering a great return on their investment.

Expanded Use of Analytics

benefits are that although all customers are different, the environments and locations they are based in tend to fall into the same general categories, with people exhibiting the same general behaviors. Once those behaviors have been ‘learned’ the patterns that underlie them can be shared, enabling the system to flag up when something unexpected occurs. We see this as only the beginning and a very exciting space to keep an eye on.

Beyond Video However, we know that physical security doesn’t just involve surveillance of people/places/objects. It is also about physical access control, one and two-way communication and managing emergency situations – and often managing this from a significant distance. So, to extend the concept of integration even further, 2017 should be the year when security cameras work hand in glove with intelligent doors, intercoms and speakers, both locally and remotely. That means one simple system that can manage them all, in real time – enabling customers to see, hear and talk to the people in/near their buildings.

As part of this, we see that while high quality video footage is a core feature of modern security cameras, ultimately that information needs to be assessed and analyzed before a decision can be made to respond to its content. The recent advances in camera technologies, such as thermal imaging and enhanced low-light capabilities have been significant steps forward. But in the end, they just generate more footage that needs to be watched/reviewed. So, much like how tools have been developed to sift through the huge pools of numerical/ text data that is being captured every day, the security industry has been working hard on video analytics software that can work in real time to help professionals make informed decisions. We expect to see 2017 as the year when these new camera capabilities are combined with real-time analytics to address several security challenges, including facial recognition, forensic analysis and perimeter protection.

Cybersecurity

Deep Learning

We think the Internet of Things should be about better security, and more efficient businesses, organizations and cities thanks to “smart” cameras, door stations and audio equipment with network connectivity. 2017 will add more ‘smarts’ to those devices, while also enabling customers to focus on what they do best and allowing security specialists to improve the services they provide.

With all this data being gathered, we are seeing deep learning technologies coming to the fore. These use pattern recognition software to ‘learn’ about different kinds of behaviors as seen through the multitude of security cameras installed around the world. Techniques involving deep learning and artificial intelligence will see broader utilization within the security industry. The

As mentioned above ‘The Internet of Things’ has evolved from buzzword status to mainstream reality, but not without its challenges. While we still think the idea of millions of IP-enabled devices is an exciting prospect for the future, 2016 gave us a sobering reminder of the pitfalls of not properly securing all those internetconnected fridges, DVRs and unfortunately security cameras. Given that most of those devices are just plugged in and switched on by customers, it is down to manufacturers to take responsibility to ensure they are secure out of the box. Axis has always taken its customers’ security seriously, but we will hopefully see 2017 as the year when all manufacturers make this a priority. We will continue to strengthen our existing offerings and make it easier for our customers to keep their networks and devices secure.

SECURITY FEATURE | DON’T BE HELD HOSTAGE TO RANSOMWARE

ansomware has quickly emerged as one of the most dangerous cyber threats facing both organizations and consumers, with global losses now likely running to hundreds of millions of dollars. Major ransomware gangs are capable of pushing their malware to millions of computers. Users who are hit with ransomware find their valuable data locked with strong, often unbreakable encryption. Recently we read about cybercriminals launching a ransomware attack on San Francisco’s computerized railway systems, resulting in "Out of Service" and "Metro Free" signs on ticket machines over two days. While the issue was not deemed serious, what if the attack was malicious, and attackers had access to the train signals?

Evolution of ransomware

Peter Sparkes, Symantec Senior Director, Cyber Security Services for APJ

In the past ransomware gangs had been largely widescale and indiscriminate in their attacks, with consumers forming the most likely target, and the proportion of consumer infections more than double that of organizations. However, since 2015, attackers are starting to change their line of fire, resulting in a slow but steady increase in ransomware attacks on organizations.

Don’t be Held Hostage to Ransomware

Security Solutions Today • January / February 2017

DON’T BE HELD HOSTAGE TO RANSOMWARE | SECURITY FEATURE

There are two main forms of ransomware in circulation today – locker ransomware and crypto ransomware – and it is important to understand them to defend against them. When hit with locker ransomware, users are denied access to the computer or device without encryption or deleting any files. Devices hit with locker ransomware are often left with limited capabilities, only allowing victims to interact with the attacker and pay the ransom. Crypto ransomware, on the other hand, is designed to find valuable data stored on the device and lock them with unbreakable encryption. This can cause more problems to organizations as removing the malware will not necessarily solve the issue – these files may still be inaccessible and the key to unlock them may only lie with the attacker.

True costs of ransomware As attackers have become bolder over the years, the average ransomware demand has jumped to US$679, up from US$294 at the end of 20151. Ransom demand aside, there are other more serious implications that organizations may have to face in the event of an attack. During an attack, targeted organizations may be forced to shut down systems, impacting business services and customers. As a result, there will be financial losses and reputational damage to mitigate. In the case of utility companies, loss of power or water can potentially impact millions of people and may cause accidents leading to injury or, even worse, death. In the event of a data loss due to files being encrypted and/or stolen, this can significantly impact the organization’s finances, brand, and reputation. In a worst case scenario, the ransomware gangs behind the attack may threaten to publish stolen data online in an attempt to extort more money from the victim. Unfortunately, even if the ransom fee has been paid, there is no guarantee that the cybercriminals will decrypt the files, on top of the risk that data may be corrupted in the decryption process.

Future targets of ransomware While attacks against Windows users continue to dominate the ransomware landscape, there has been a growing number of ransomware campaigns against other platforms. This trend is likely to continue as cybercrime groups compete to find unexploited target groups. The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) has multiplied the

range of devices that could potentially be infected with ransomware. With a growing awareness of ransomware affecting traditional computers, attackers may turn to IoT to find new, softer targets. For example, Android ransomware Flocker (Android. Lockdroid.E) is capable of locking Android smart TVs. Flocker’s latest version asks victims to pay $200 in iTunes gift cards as a ransom. This kind of attack is something that was predicted last year by Symantec researcher Candid Wueest, who demonstrated a successful ransomware attack against a smart TV.

Vigilance and education To help organizations protect themselves against this growing cyber threat, here are some tips to help avoid or mitigate ransomware infections:

•

• • • •

Implement multi-layered endpoint security, network security, encryption, strong authentication and reputation-based technologies. Partner with a managed security service provider to extend your IT team. Ensure that the software, operating system, and browser plugins on your computer are installed with the latest updates so as to prevent attackers from exploiting known vulnerabilities. Regularly back up any files stored on your computer. If your computer has been compromised with ransomware, then these files can be restored once the malware is removed from the computer. Consider investing in comprehensive security software, such as Norton Security, to protect yourself from cybercriminals. Most importantly, never pay the ransom. When faced with cyber criminals, there is no guarantee that the attacker will decrypt the files as promised once they receive payment.

Organizations need to be fully aware of the threat posed by ransomware and make building their defenses an ongoing priority. While a multilayered approach to security minimizes the chance of infection, it’s also vital to educate end users about ransomware and encourage them to adopt best practices. As ransomware gangs continue to refine their tactics, organizations cannot become complacent. Businesses should continue to review and improve their security in the face of this rapidly evolving threat. For more information, please visit www.symantec.com. sst

SECURITY FEATURE | SOLUTIONS FOR RISING VIDEO SURVEILLANCE STORAGE DEMANDS

Solutions for Rising Video Surveillance Storage Demands Josh Woodhouse, Senior Analyst, Video Surveillance

The Video Surveillance Market Demand remains high for video surveillance solutions. The world market for video surveillance equipment will surpass $16 billion in 2016. Yet, the market is still not saturated. In a recent report on the installed base for video surveillance equipment, IHS estimates that there is one camera installed for every 29 people on the planet. As well as new installations, retrofits and upgrades are a significant part of the market, a market which globally is expected to see a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20% in new camera unit shipments from 2014 to 2019.

different elements. Whilst there is a strong relationship, resolution is not always analogous to image quality and it’s important to consider other elements including (but not limited to): pixel density of scene, frame rate, and wide dynamic range. However, camera resolution is one of the most marketed components of modern surveillance cameras; it’s often the first specification item that’s quoted by manufacturers so it’s a good measure to illustrate the general trend of increasing camera specifications in the industry. Exhibit 1 shows the forecast revenues from global network surveillance cameras by resolution to 2019.

In 2016:

In addition to the increasing volume of surveillance cameras shipped annually, technological advances mean each new generation of surveillance cameras benefit from improvements in image (video) quality. Image quality is a complex matrix influenced by many

Security Solutions Today • January / February 2017

established themselves as the minimum expected from new cameras not just in the network camera market (Exhibit 1); in lower priced, small channel count installations HD CCTV has emerged as the replacement for many remaining standard definition analog cameras. Panoramic and 4K network cameras are two further storage hungry high growth product categories. Here IHS is also observing rapidly falling average prices and increasing shipment growth rates.

Generally, improved image quality means more data is generated. Exhibit 2 shows on average the data produced in just one day by all the new video surveillance cameras installed worldwide. The increases forecast year-to-year are a factor of the increasing camera shipments and the uplift in their specifications. Exhibit 2: Challenge of More Data Being Generated

and the increased retention demands have meant the demand for video surveillance storage has increased drastically. The problem for end-users is how to manage and store the increased amount of data.

Options and Solutions With more data being generated from a wider variety of sources a smarter allocation of resource is required, system design must follow accordingly. What should end-users consider regarding their system design? The storage in a video surveillance system should be viewed in a similar way to cameras. Different camera models in a system are selected for different requirements, yet all capture video. Storage can be thought of in the same manner; different types of storage can be leveraged in one system. There is rarely a fixed value or frequency of access for recorded video surveillance footage over its lifetime, yet, too often a one-size fits all solution is implemented.

Whilst there are continuing advances in the use of prerecording analytics and compression technologies, which can provide a trade-off between image quality, bandwidth and storage requirements, these cannot completely mitigate the associated increase in data from an increased number of higher resolution linked cameras. In addition, the demands for data retention times are growing as some end- users require their data stored for longer. Aside from security and protection, longer retention is being driven by other commercial factors. Threat of litigation from civil law suits have led to some end-users storing video for longer. For example in some large North American retail deployments the cost of longer retention offset against potential costs of legal settlements. Longer retention also means a larger dataset for post-recording video analytics for both security and business insights. The increase in data produced by surveillance systems

To gain more insight and an increased return on investment from video surveillance data, a storage solution must balance high performance, high capacity and high retention. These three parameters can be flexed to provide the best trade-off between budget and mission whilst minimising sacrifice of redundancy, accessibility or scalability. When planned from the early stages of the project the storage solution can address as much of the mission criteria as possible without using a disproportionate chunk of budget. Analysis of the budget should take account of:

• •

What legislation and guidance do you need to comply with regarding data retention? What is the potential cost if you do not? What value is there on the insights you can gather from the data you collect?

Design should go beyond basic capacity planning for which there is an abundance of sufficient calculators. End-users and integrators should also consider some

January / February 2017 • Security Solutions Today

SECURITY FEATURE | SOLUTIONS FOR RISING VIDEO SURVEILLANCE STORAGE DEMANDS

of the following key points regarding what they require from their storage:

• • • • • •

Exhibit 3: Intelligent, Scalable Tiered Video Surveillance Storage Architecture

The majority of video surveillance data is never reviewed. Is your system geared to a heavy write focus? How does the value of your data change over time? Is there a data sub-set which is most mission critical or likely to require the most access? Can you easily move data in and out of this category? Do you want access to archiving, back-up and longer term retention in the same system? Would it be useful to pool data from multiple types of video devices (e.g. fixed, vehicle or body worn video surveillance cameras) and other sensors in one place? How easily can your solution support expansion?

Use of storage tiers in video surveillance has previously meant just a separate archive or directly attaching addon capacity to recorder appliances. We’re now seeing a multitude of options designed for video surveillance, which pull together different storage tiers (in some cases storage media) into a unified platform. This allows more efficiency in varying how recorded footage is treated throughout its lifetime.

Key Conclusions

•

Video surveillance is evolving not just in terms of higher specifications; there are no longer single purpose systems. Inputs from multiple sensor types with different analyses and management mean multiple uses for data. In any budget for maximum optimisation between performance, data retention and potential ROI build the system around the back-end architecture enabling the most efficient data management and storage.

This approach can be leveraged into localized individual systems or scaled out to large distributed systems with anything from a city to country wide scope.

•

Regardless of the size of your video surveillance system applying these principals to the underlying architecture can gain you a more effective use of your budget to balance between performance, maximum retention and potential ROI.

he IoT is here and is already beginning to transform consumer, business and industrial processes and practices. The year 2015 saw the market adoption of many types of IoT products, we began to see real research that shows the concerns about IoT security are real. Based on the research that we will briefly discuss in this section, we can begin to understand some of the high level needs for IoT product security. These needs include:

• • • •

The need to protect consumer privacy and limit exposure of PII and PHI The need to protect business data and limit exposure of sensitive information The need to safeguard against IoT products being used in DDoS attacks or as launching points into the network The need to guard against damage or harm resulting from compromise of cyber-physical systems

We will now provide a discussion on issues and trends within the IoT space. We provide this discussion to point out lessons learned that can be applied by IoT product developers.

IoT Products can compromise Privacy Rapid7 recently published a report on Baby Monitor Exposures and Vulnerabilities. In this report, they described a set of vulnerabilities potentially exploited based on 1) physical access to the device, 2) direct access to the local area network (LAN), and 3) via the Internet.

Security Solutions Today • January / February 2017

EXTRACT FROM “FUTURE-PROOFING THE CONNECTED WORLD” | INSIDE LOOK

Other products used within the home have also been compromised. VTech, the manufacturer of high-tech educational toys for children such as electronic learning devices, announced that it suffered a security breach in December 2015, exposing personal data of 12 million people. The interesting take-away from this event was that the devices themselves were not compromised, however the online services that devices connect with were not sufficiently secured. Specifically, a report stated that the breach exploited a SQL injection vulnerability and the account registration services did not use TLS. Consider that these vulnerabilities were not related to flaws in the IoT devices themselves, but instead to flaws discovered in the infrastructure that supports the devices. IoT devices do not operate in a vacuum; they are a part of a much larger ecosystem that must also be secured sufficiently. Wearable products can also introduce privacy concerns. As an example, a study done by Open Effect showed that many wearable manufacturers had not yet taken advantage of the new privacy features designed into the Bluetooth 4.2 specification. It was found that tracking a person with a wearable was theoretically made possible when developers relied on publicly discoverable static MAC addresses for their devices.

IoT products can lend their computing power to launch DDoS Attacks If you consider the substantial quantities associated with IoT products, you can begin to imagine how useful these products can become for those wishing to perform a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. These attacks have already begun. Researchers at Sucuri released a report that noted the compromise and use of

over 25,000 Closed Caption TeleVision (CCTV) devices towards a DDoS attack. The researchers pointed to a remote code execution (RCE) flaw exposed by some vendors in the market. This showcases again the need for software assurance techniques to be employed by vendors in the IoT market. Compromising IoT products for use in botnets does not have to be as complex as identifying an unpatched vulnerability and exploiting that vulnerability. Some IoT products ship with no password protections, or use default passwords such as admin for local access. Attackers that identify these low hanging fruit can victimize large populations of the product quickly and employ for their malicious purposes. A real-world example of this is the Lizardstresser DDoS botnet. Security firm Arbor Networks noted that the actors running this botnet have begun targeting IoT devices that share default passwords across device classes. Making things more interesting is the ability to quickly find IoT products that may not have proper authentication in place. A web crawling service ‘Shodan’, crawls the Internet at random looking for IP addresses with open ports. If the port lacks authentication, the script takes a snapshot and moves on. This data is searchable publicly.

Medical Devices and Medical Standard Protocols are Vulnerable to Attack Concerns related to the security of connected medical devices are nothing new and have been around even prior to the popularity of the IoT. In 2008, researcher Daniel Halperin and colleagues published the document titled: Pacemakers and Implantable Cardiac Defibrillators: Software Radio Attacks and Zero- Power Defenses. This document discussed wirelessly reprogrammable implantable medical devices (IMDs) that include pacemakers, cardioverter defibrillators and implantable drug pumps. The researchers outlined not only privacy issues associated with these devices, but also the ability to change device settings, change or disable therapies, and even deliver a shock to the patient. Further, researcher Jeremy Richards revealed a slew of security flaws in a line of infusion pumps [1]. These included: • Lack of authentication for telnet sessions; • Wi-Fi Protected Access Key (WPA) for hospital wi-fi network stored in plain-text on the device; • The device was running a vulnerable version of a webserver (e.g., the webserver component was not patched); and

•

A hard-coded credential was assigned to the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) service.

Vulnerabilities affecting pacemakers, hospital drug pumps and other medical devices are extremely dangerous and could result in life-threatening injuries or death. Researchers have used iStan to demonstrate these vulnerabilities. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has for example issued an alert to warn healthcare organizations about the risks associated with the use of certain infusion systems.

Drones Are Approaching Mainstream Status and Being Used as a Platform for Reconnaissance Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS), also known as drones are have become popular and security researchers are beginning to investigate how to use these systems for reconnaissance activities. This includes the identification of IoT products running certain RF protocols in a geographic area. Researchers at Praetorian showed that drones are an effective tool for this when they mapped ZigBee beacons in 2015.

were never designed to connect to the Internet, the use of legacy protocols that have no security mechanisms builtin, as well as the fact that these cyber-physical systems (CPS) can cause harm and damage if compromised.

Critical national infrastructure can rely on the IoT ecosystem Connected Vehicle (CV) technology will enable myriad use cases that support reductions in the numbers of traffic incidents and injuries related to those incidents. Connected Vehicles will communicate using the Dedicated Short Range Communications(DSRC) protocol, which supports rapid transmissions of messages (e.g, Basic Safety Messages - BSMs) between vehicles (V2V), infrastructure (V2I), and applications (V2X). The CV ecosystem consists of a number of technologies, hardware and software components. Infrastructure equipment such as traffic signals broadcast messages such as: 1) Speed limits, 2) Signal Phase and Timing, 3) The presence of traffic conditions ahead. Pedestrians may even use apps on their smartphones or purpose- built dongles to communicate with vehicles and infrastructure equipment. The security of the entire CV ecosystem comes down not only to defining secure interconnection points, but also implementing secure products to begin with. These products may be the vehicles themselves, roadside units, infotainment systems, or even the 3rd party dongles that we are now starting to see sprout up on the market. We have already seen research that results in compromise of traffic management platforms as well as vehicles themselves.

Moving Forward

Critical national infrastructure can rely on the IoT ecosystem From a standpoint of interconnected smart cities or smart factories, we see that a connected smart grid of vulnerable things, a smart network of traffic lights or a smart factory that relies on massive interconnection can have a direct effect on the functioning of a modern society. If we think of a typical Industrial Control System (ICS), we see that there are many areas of concern. These areas of concern include the connection of systems that

Whether we’re dealing with smart farms or connected manufacturing facilities, sensors and robotics are now beginning to work hand in hand towards the – accomplishment of objectives. New research in the area of blockchain technology shows promise in extending these capabilities through machine-to-machine negotiation. These capabilities are driving the human out of the decision making loop in many instances and as we rely on IoT products to do the basic thinking for us, we will need to make sure that those products and their associated services and interconnection points are each developed as securely as possible.

Why Development Organizations Should Care About Securing IoT Products With predictions of 50+ billion devices connected by 2020, IoT products will be widely deployed and gain entrance into our homes, workplaces, vehicles and even airplanes. Adding interconnectivity between these devices and our existing network infrastructures will open up new attack vectors that many will attempt to exploit. Security researchers today are working hard to identify vulnerabilities associated with many of the existing IoT products however not all vulnerabilities will be identified and patched prior to a malicious actor making use of them. The consequences of a particular IoT product being used to compromise sensitive user information or worse, to cause harm or damage, will be catastrophic to the product vendor. Even knowing the severe ramifications of fielding an IoT product used in a large scale attack, security professionals are often faced with a daunting task of providing a business case for expending funds to secure productsand systems. Because of this, we have enumerated some reasons that developers should care about securing IoT products. According to [24] security must be addressed throughout the device lifecycle, from the initial designto the operational environment which includes Secure booting, Access control, Device authentication, Firewalling and IPS, finally Updates and patches. Providing a sufficient budget for IoT secure product engineering: 1. Reduces the likelihood that an IoT product will be

counterfeited 2. Limits the ability for attackers to compromise your customer’s privacy 3. May limit liability in the case of a compromised device 4. In the case of CPS, may limit the ability for an attacker to cause damage or harm 5. Reduces the likelihood that your product will receive negative press 6. Can reduce the potential risk and have mitigation controls in place in case the product does have any limitations to embed the security into it In the case of a compromised IoT product, the resultant impact to your business is almost never positive. At a minimum, customers will hesitate to purchase the product based on knowledge that it leaves their systems or homes vulnerabile. At worst, a compromised IoT product will invite legal action or cause physical damage or harm. The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has even laid down certain IOT guidelines advising the developers to build security into the architecture, rather than as an afterthought. Other factors that contribute to consumer IoT device vulnerabilities are a mixture of bad design, non-regulated or insufficiently regulated environments, the use of third party hardware/ software and insecure cloud-based resources. Since there is a lot of variability and interdependence as mentioned, it is easy to pass the blame to any of these services as the number of interdependencies increase (overall multiple points of blame). sst

AN INTERVIEW WITH

MR. GARY DRUTIN, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, FST BIOMETRICS

FST has added former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak to the board, appointed Israeli entrepreneurial heavyweight Avi Naor (founder and former CEO of Amdocs) as Chairman of the Board, and most recently, nominated Gary Drutin as the new CEO of the company. How do you think these changes are projected to take FST to the next level? Before joining FST this year, I could see the company was making major moves in terms of building up its management team. As I begin my tenure as CEO, I’m energized and excited by the executive team we now have in place. I’m working with many gifted leaders from a variety of important fields including business, defense, investment and entrepreneurship and I’m extremely confident in this well-rounded and extremely capable team. For example, Avi Naor, the new Board Chairman, has immense experience with his in-depth knowledge of how to expand a company, as seen by his previously role in the mega-IT company Amdocs. What connects all of us who have recently joined FST is that as soon as we saw our technology, we each felt that this technology could be a game-changer – something that could influence the world. I, and my colleague chose FST because we believe in our products and we see our potential for leading the biometric market in the years to come.

Security Solutions Today • January / February 2017

Our goal this year is to take the company from the current stage of rapid growth and establish it to become the gold standard of the in motion identification market in the near future. This includes adding additional capabilities to our systems and expanding into focused markets across the globe.

FST is a leading biometrics identification solutions provider. What are your plans for the Asian region? Asia is a fast-growing market in which we have distributors working with our current customers. In fact, one of our important customers in the region is SingTel, a Singaporebased telecommunications company. We have installations in many locations in Asia, including China. Our solutions are a very good fit to meet the challenges and requirements of the Asia region.

Tell us more about the new solution developed by Farkash and team for the human identification market. FST had a goal in developing its flagship product, IMID Access. This was to create a solution that was both highly secure, and highly accurate. He realized that with biometrics, it would be necessary to utilize more than one technology. As such, FST has developed a multi-modal biometric technology, which includes a fusion of face recognition and body behavior analytics. This fusion allows for highly accurate, quick and seamless in-motion identification. Since our solution is software-based, it integrates with many existing hardware and infrastructures. In fact, we are now partnered with many secure access industry leaders and

FST BIOMETRICS | IN FOCUS

turnstile technology vendors who have chosen to integrate our biometric identification technology into their existing solution.

FST aspires to be the global standard for ensuring safe, secure and convenient environments and facilities around the world. What strategies is FST employing in order to reach this goal? There are currently global efforts taking place to create standards across the biometrics industry. Our CTO, Shahar Belkin, represents Israel in the International Standards Committee for biometrics and biometrics identification. Shahar, along with representatives from around the globe are building the global biometrics standard in biometric identification. This committee is involved in research, standards development, trialing various technologies for interoperability, as well as multi-national technology trials. We also continue to focus on our ability to work with our clients on the ground, to ensure that they receive the best and most suitable systems for their needs. Through our highly adaptable approach, alongside the ease-ofuse of our technology, we are able to create the custom solutions customers have come to expect, without the need to compromise on security or seamlessness of the solution.

Tell us more about FST’s competitive edge over others in the field of Access Control. There are many factors that set FST apart from the competition. These include: • The accuracy of our system over others • The convenience offered by In Motion Identification - authorized users do not need to stop to be identified • Identifies multiple people simultaneously – IMID Access can accurately identify groups of people entering a building, allowing for foot traffic to continue moving • A hands-free system - users don’t need keys, cards or fobs – the only interaction with the system is looking at the camera as a user walks towards to access point • Non-invasive biometrics – using face and body behavior means we don’t take any biometric data that is not visible to the human eye – no fingerprinting or iris scans.

•

Aesthetically unobtrusive – many systems can be an eyesore, but ours is just a mini dome that takes up little space

What challenges do you think the Asian Security Market will face in coming years and how will FST meet those challenges? The Asian security market faces a number of challenges. The first is one that we see in Asia and across the globe: urbanization. People are increasingly moving from rural areas to towns and cities. With rapid urbanization, many cannot afford to high cost of living, and this leads to an increase in the social gap, which ultimately results in a rise in the crime rate. As such, there is a need for better security systems. Our system answers the need for increased security, but does not sacrifice on convenience. We pride ourselves on offering a solution that is both highly secure and highly convenient. A second challenge that the Asia region faces is the rise in terrorism in this region. We didn’t see this level of terrorist activity in Asia, even ten years ago. This unfortunate trend, which we already see in Europe and the Middle East means that Asian organizations will need an increased ability to secure various locations. Another thing to note – often terrorists look to hit crowded locations. This makes it even more critical to keep people moving as smoothly as possible, which our solution does.

What is FST’s global strategy with regard to vertical market penetration and partnerships? FST has experienced considerable growth in our customer base and management team this year, allowing us to move ahead with our plans and form strategic partnerships with major security companies in areas such as United States, Europe and South East Asia. While we don’t want to give too much away in terms of our strategy, we are working with current and potential customers to integrate our system in focused verticals including healthcare and pharma companies, commercial buildings, banks, and leading multi-national enterprises.

IN FOCUS | SOUTH EAST ASIA AND TAIWAN AT ARUBA, A HEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE COMPANY

AN INTERVIEW WITH JUSTIN CHIAH, DIRECTOR AND GENERAL

MANAGER, SOUTH EAST ASIA AND TAIWAN AT ARUBA, A HEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE COMPANY

In what ways do you think the IoT exposes new cracks in security that will challenge the security market? According to a November 4, 2016 Gartner research report, Real Time Discovery, Visibility and Control are Critical for IoT Security:

“Lack of network and device visibility is a top concern of security and risk management leaders, both in consumer and industrial IoT verticals, as they don’t know what assets they have and if protection is required. Discovery is a prerequisite to IoT security.” Also, Gartner recommended that IT teams “Determine which discovery and visibility business benefits — such as reducing costs/risks, enabling postbreach response and recovery, enabling asset discovery, being more ready for regulations and audits, and complementing BYOD security initiatives — are most compelling before architecting use cases.” In the new IoT world, security can be challenging, especially in large-scale IoT deployment at the enterprise network edge. In 2016 alone, we witnessed a number of high profile attacks on various sectors such as in finance and telco – just to name a few. Yet, many businesses are continuing to turn a blind eye to these threats and are still relying on traditional methods of cybersecurity that were not designed to tackle the sophisticated threats present today. IoT has the potential to facilitate beneficial decision making that no one device could spur

Security Solutions Today • January / February 2017

on its own. However, that potential can only be realized if the integrity of the information collected from the devices is beyond reproach. Simply put, regardless of how data from IoT is used, it is only of value if it comes from trusted sources, assuring data integrity. The Achilles heels of IoT is that many data sources lack credibility, and addressing that shortcoming isn’t a trivial task given the diversity of devices represented in that universe. When TCP/IP networks were created in the early 1970s, the original design supported just 256 networks. This is why at HPE Aruba, we are focusing on delivering visibility and secure connectivity for large-scale IoT deployments at the enterprise network edge. Aruba’s Connectand-Protect architecture is modeled after the best security practices used in the defense and intelligence sectors. Devices and users are un-trusted until they can be proven or made trustworthy. Activities are continuously monitored and usage rights are constantly enforced. This is accomplished using solutions from Aruba – Wi-Fi, switches, role-based access, ClearPass, ALE, AirWave network management – and best-in-class solutions from technology partners including Palo Alto Networks, MobileIron, RedSeal, and Software AG. The resulting solution brings order and trust to the proverbial hairball of old and new, proprietary and standards-based, untrusted and unsecured devices that make up IoT. Connect-and-Protect levels the playing field so the extraordinary benefits of exploiting IoT data can be realized without incurring unacceptable levels of risk.

SOUTH EAST ASIA AND TAIWAN AT ARUBA, A HEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE COMPANY | IN FOCUS

We added to this framework with recent announcements of the Aruba ClearPass Universal Profiler and the Aruba 2540 Series Switches. These new solutions identify and inventory all IoT devices as they connect to the network, and drive down the per-port cost of wired IoT connectivity. The new ClearPass Universal Profiler automatically identifies the attributes of IoT devices as they attempt to connect to the network. This enables IT managers to catalog what IoT devices are on wired and wireless networks and assign the appropriate policies to each one. The Universal Profiler provides visibility and context regarding risk and performance issues derived via IoT devices. The Aruba 2540 Series Switches further protect IoT devices with unified role-based access. This feature identifies and assigns roles to IoT devices as they connect, prioritizing businesscritical applications and controlling which network resources the devices can access. The 2540 Series Switches are optimized for small-to-medium density IoT enterprise edge deployments.

How do you propose security companies meet these challenges? Security companies need a different type of security approach — one that starts on the inside and extends beyond the perimeter, and the other which can adapt to the dynamic nature of users — and mobile-oriented threats — those that can originate from anywhere. The combination of mobility and cloud definitely demands a new paradigm in approaching security. This turns the age-old paradigm of perimeter security on its head. Previously, security solutions like firewalls and IPS were designed with the concept of providing a secure bulwark on what is assumed to be the perimeter of the network / premises. IE what is beyond the firewall is a red zone / untrusted and what is within is assumed to be inside a green zone. This is no longer valid given the fluidity of users with mobility and applications with cloud.

Our Adaptive Trust model adapts to this new reality and the dynamics of mobility by leveraging rich contextual data from the network and its security systems for a stronger, wellcoordinated defense. Central to the Adaptive Trust model is Aruba ClearPass solution. It leverages an ecosystem, internal, and third party solutions to globally control and enforce access policies based on roles, devices, and other contextual attributes on any multivendor network. This approach ensures that IT can deliver new services via self-service workflows and provide an excellent user experience, while preventing insider data leakage, malware threats and other high-level vulnerabilities. The Aruba ClearPass Policy Management Platform is a central component that allows IT to adapt and apply trust levels based on every user and device that requests wireless, wired or VPN access. To do this, ClearPass leverages real-time, contextual data that IT can trust – a person’s role inside an organization, device and app attributes, location and insight from third party security solutions – to create policies that satisfy highly mobile security needs. ClearPass works across any multivendor network by replacing outdated legacy AAA with context-aware policies. And includes profiling, BYOD and guest onboarding, integration with MDM/EMM, firewalls, SIEM solutions, and scalability features to meet today’s evolving business needs. With the advent of IoT, Clearpass leverages this tried and tested methodology, extending this approach from users devices to IoT devices. Granular network access privileges are granted based on a device or user’s role, type, MDM attributes, device health, location, and time-of-day.

What strategies should Asian security companies adopt in order to have a holistic network strategy that embraces IoT while simultaneously securing their network from the edge? It is no longer safe to assume that perimeter protection is enough as devices are able to connect from anywhere. At the same time, security policies need to be simple and transparent to the employee, and must not be

January / February 2017 • Security Solutions Today

IN FOCUS | SOUTH EAST ASIA AND TAIWAN AT ARUBA, A HEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE COMPANY

of any inconvenience or hindrance for the user. Be it an Asian enterprise or global enterprise, security approaches need to adopt a strategy that meets requirements for identifying, connecting, and protecting all mobile and IoT devices at the edge.

As more data is being shared among individual IoT devices, attacks will become more popular and sophisticated, combining both device locks with credential and possible identity theft. This would point towards a possible growth in mobile data protection as well.

With new software and hardware solutions, as well as new ecosystem partners, HPE Aruba can now accelerate an organization’s move to IoT adoption in smart buildings across verticals. We have developed a new Aruba ClearPass Universal Profiler that automatically discovers and fingerprints all IP-enabled managed, unmanaged, and IoT devices on multi-vendor wired and wireless networks. This gives IT organizations the ability to see clearly how many devices in total and per category are connected at any one time. IT departments no longer have to guess or use disparate tools to see what devices are connecting to their networks.

Trust in the cloud is also expected to increase, and with it, more sensitive data and processing within the cloud. This will lead to more interest in attacking the cloud, forcing security companies to further develop their cloud security capabilities in the near future.

Comprehensive information about device type, operating system, status, and location are displayed in an easy-to-read, graphical user interface. This information can then be used for performance and security tuning across infrastructure components, and then shared with ClearPass Exchange partners to deliver user behavior analytics, deception intelligence, and firewall security. For organizations that then require policy management, there’s a simple migration path to the Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager, to enable automatic authentication and policy enforcement after devices are identified and fingerprinted. Devices that are exhibiting unwanted behavior can then be automatically remediated using data from Aruba’s partners to minimize the risk to networks.

Tell us more about projected trends in the security market for 2017. Enterprises will be paying more attention to security with IoT deployment in mind. We already see the trend of bot devices being used in DDoS attacks and more IoT malware with many opening backdoors into linked devices, networks, and smart homes that often goes undetected for extended periods of time.

Security Solutions Today • January / February 2017

How do you think security companies will benefit from the prediction that by 2020, 75% of large and mid-size companies would have spent up to US $1.5 Trillion on IoT solutions? It is no surprise that security companies will benefit greatly from this, as IoT becomes more integrated within companies as they try to keep up with the ‘Mobile Generation’. There would be a race by security companies to be the first to research and develop cutting edge cloud and IoT security measures that would grant companies even more flexibility as BYOD is the next phase for many organizations. This competition will definitely drive innovation within the security industry.

As more companies adopt BYOD policies, mobility has become very popular with the workforce. Are traditional security measures still relevant to mobility? Enterprises cannot be content with sole reliance on traditional security measures. This presents its own set of security issues that companies must look towards, whereby protecting its decentralized data that exists within this extended ecosystem will soon take priority. As we discussed earlier the paradigm that traditional security framework is increasingly antiquated given the trends of mobility. Our Adaptive Trust framework leverages rich contextual data from the network and its security systems for a stronger, wellcoordinated defense. With the Clearpass

SOUTH EAST ASIA AND TAIWAN AT ARUBA, A HEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE COMPANY | IN FOCUS

Policy Manager, we can apply policies that align with the organization priorities using the granularities and richness of contextual network and third party information data. At the same time, there is a need to automate BYOD workflows so that this does not become a burden on IT operations and as such adopting a policy framework approach help to bring about a high degree of automation in a secure manner. A global study conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit & sponsored by Aruba in March 2016 titled “Mobility, Performance and Engagement”, which surveyed 1,865 employees in nine countries—Australia, France, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, the UAE, the UK and the US, has established a measurable link between more mobile-first working environments and an increase in employee engagement, proving that CIOs can drive increased business performance through welldeveloped and executed mobile strategies. The study showed that companies rated by employees as “pioneers” in how they support mobile technology saw a rise in productivity (16%), creativity (18%), satisfaction (23%), and loyalty (21%), when compared to organizations that were poorly rated at supporting mobile technology. In addition, six in ten (60%) employees said mobile technology makes them more productive, while more than four in ten (45%) believe it causes their creativity to rise. Enterprises need to ensure that they are creating processes that are applicable for the mobile worker and that there are automated workflows that allow their employees to participate in the security process. Solutions such as the Aruba ClearPass Management system allows organizations to set policies evolving user, security and business needs.

At HPE Aruba, we advise our customers to adopt a 4 Steps To Aruba’s MobileFirst Approach 1.

Beef up wireless to optimize for mobile and

IoT - Aruba’s 802.11ac portfolio delivers an enterprise-grade, stable wireless solution so that mobile users can roam while accessing business applications and data. 2. Futureproof your wired infrastructure - The integration of the HPE and Aruba access portfolios is a key ingredient in our mobile-first approach. As organizations transition to the digital workplace, they won’t need as many ports as before because of the increased use of Wi-Fi. Although a highly mobile workforce means that the majority of users will connect via wireless, the surge in IoT devices and the increasing use of Wi-Fi bandwidth means that the wired infrastructure is critical, too. 3. Predict network issues before they happen - Aruba’s AirWave software is a powerful tool for not only monitoring your entire access network but also improving user experience with rich analytics. As the number and adoption of mobile devices and IoT increase in the digital workplace, the first thing that stands in the way of scalable growth is the lack of tools and resources for network operations teams to maintain visibility to all things connected and the network infrastructure. Aruba AirWave 8.2 meets this challenge by offering better network analytics and predictive visualization. 4. Secure the network with smart policy management - The Aruba ClearPass Policy Management Platform allows IT to assert and enforce trust on every user and device on the wireless, wired and VPN network. To do this, ClearPass leverages real-time, trusted, contextual data — a person’s role inside an organization, device and app attributes, location and insight from third party security solutions — to create policies that satisfy highly mobile and IoT security needs.
