EDITORS COMMENT

Creating a well-rounded approach to managing and coaching your workforce requires the expertise of a human resources leader and the support of your company’s executive leadership.

Over the past few years, the security industry, together with its training institutions and the regulatory authority, have placed great emphasis on professionalising the industry.

During March, the South African Institute of Security (SAIS) hosted a workshop on the state of industry education and training.

An informal debate followed after the initial presentations, which revealed an overall consensus that there is still a strong need for an official security body in South Africa, separate from institutes and organisations. Attendees feel that this is essential to creating a more stable and professional environment within the industry.

They also feel that there is still a lack of leadership in the industry, exacerbated by the disconnect between different levels of management and lack of training.

Finally, it was emphasised that there needs to be a continued push for professional development that works on the occupational needs of the industry through the development of a gap analysis.

Those major security sector players with the necessary resources at their disposal have taken these concerns in hand through significant investment in internal training institutions.

The Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSiRA) says

it has identified industry non-compliance as a risk that must be managed and controlled effectively.

Furthermore, the increasing identity theft currently taking place within the industry is not only compromising the integrity of the private security sector and economy, but further put public safety at risk.

The Authority therefore deployed a certificate renewal project in 2015 as one of the strategies to help address these challenges.

The renewal of certificate project’s aim is to ensure that only legible registered applicants (security officers and businesses) receive new certificates with new security features encrypted.

The Authority says that increased compliance with the Private Security Sector Provident Fund (PSSPF) and reported cases of identity theft are but some of the notable improvements.

The Authority says that it has also implemented an integrated stakeholder engagement and awareness drive with the objective of effectively educating the public about the role and functions of PSiRA and reducing industry non-compliance.

Those employees with outstanding inter-personal and communication skills are the ones you want upfront working with your customers. Often loyal customers can help increase business through positive word of mouth.

It’s also important to never forget about the power of praise and recognition. Employees who are well-informed about the business they work for are likely to have higher levels of employee engagement.

When your company attains a goal, congratulate your most valuable resource – your workforce. Your organisation’s human capital is paramount in helping you achieve your goals and objectives.

The state of education and trainingThe South African Institute of Security (SAIS) held a workshop on education and training within the security industry on 8 March 2016. The workshop saw experts from various industry bodies, as well as guests from high-profile companies, educational service providers, and security service end-users come together to discuss the current state of education in the industry and what steps could be taken to improve this area.

provided to Crest Advisory Africa for its Risk Management course, and BTC Training for its Human Intelligence Management training programme.

In addition to the launch of the SAIS Education & Training Endorsement programme, the event welcomed a host of guest speakers from organisations that included the Quality Council for Trades & Occupations (QCTO), University of South Africa (UNISA), ISMI, ACFE, and ISO/SABS. Invited guests from PSIRA, SASSETA, SASA, and SAIDSA were unable to attend the event.

Key PresentationsProceedings were kicked off by Bruce Mohamed, presenting on behalf of QCTO, who spoke on the topic of quality control in the field of security training and education.

He outlined the need to further develop occupational qualifications and to quality assure these qualifications within occupations and trades.

Mr Mohamed labelled key issues in this sector, drawing attention to the lack of effective quality assurance of PSIRA grade training and training materials, as well as the need for well-trained internal moderators to ensure fairness and consistency.

QCTO aims to address these issues with an approach that focuses on External Integrated Summative Assessment (EISA) provided by certified Assessment Quality Partners (AQPs) that provide the final word on learners’ achievement of competence to practice the occupation, meaning that learners will not qualify unless they write a standardised national test.

Professor Kris Pillay, of UNISA, gave a brief presentation that provided an overview of the security training programmes and qualifications provided by the organisation.

Having provided more than two decades

of training for security needs, Prof Pillay was proud to announce that UNISA is currently the only institution that offers blended and distance learning opportunities for students in the field.

Highlighting the importance of security practitioners and managers in corporate environments, UNISA’s contribution to the development and continued growth of the security industry cannot be understate.

More than 3 700 students enrolled in the various security training programmes at UNISA for 2016, including the National Diploma in Security Management, as well as a Bachelor of Technology in Security Management and Masters in Security Management.

Industry PerspectiveFollowing the presentations, industry insiders provided brief overviews and open discussions on various educational suppliers and bodies that provide training programmes to professionals within the security industry.

This session allowed the workshop attendees to actively participate and learn about the options available to them in terms of personal development opportunities, as well as what their security service providers should have in terms of qualifications.

David Dodge, chairman of SAIS, spoke briefly on the board certifications offered by ASIS International, with three key qualifications that are recognised in the global security industry.

The Certified Protection Professional (CPP), Professional Certified Investigator (PCP), and Physical Security Professional (PSP) all maintain stringent eligibility standards for qualification.

Professionals seeking to qualify as either a CPP, PCP, or PSP need to pass a comprehensive examination, as well as follow a mandatory recertification period of three years.

Employers benefit from hiring employees with these qualifications, as it signifies professional competence that is internationally recognised.

For the holder of the qualification, the recertification term of three years demonstrates personal commitment to professional development that helps maintain proficiency and credibility in their specific position in the security industry.

The event was used by SAIS as an opportunity to launch its newly- developed Education & Training

Endorsement programme. The programme’s goal is to establish itself as a mark of quality that helps maintain consistency in the education of security professionals in South Africa.

SAIS formulated an evaluation committee to oversee training programmes and assess the quality of the training itself, as well as the facilitators and trainers attached to it. Inaugural endorsements were

“With the introduction of

BioStation L2, we took consumer feedback on

current biometric devices, and made thoughtful

consideration on key elements of the device to

bring seamless convergence of performance

and price.”

BioStation L2 continues Suprema’s high

security standards by incorporating premium

technology such as live finger detection and

Suprema is pleased to announce the

unveiling of BioStation L2 fingerprint

terminal that offers premium features

and performance in a package with essential

hardware to provide a comprehensive access

control and time attendance solution.

BioStation L2 is a mid-range device that

can support enterprise-level requirements

in both access control and time attendance

applications with the world’s most powerful

processor on the market. The terminal

is highlighted by its inclusion of both

Suprema’s latest innovative technology and

superior design.

“At Suprema, we are committed to continued

innovation, based on the feedback and needs

of our customers,” said James Lee, chief

executive officer of Suprema.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS FROM SUPREMA

the latest OP5 sensors. Incorporating the

latest fingerprint algorithm and powerful

1.2GHz quad core processor, the L2 uses

parallel processing techniques resulting in fast

matching speed that rival higher-end models.

Loaded with a massive 2GB flash and 256MB

RAM, BioStation L2 stores and manages up to

500 000 users and one million logs.

The new enhanced algorithm is more

accurate than ever and significantly reduces

false rejection rates even in conditions

that are not ideal for fingerprint capture. It

compensates for unsatisfactory fingerprint

captures such as direct sunlight conditions

or distorted finger images. BioStation L2 also

features new live finger detection technology

with an improved algorithm and optical

technique that effectively eliminates possible

fraud using various materials of fake fingers.

BioStation L2 features a clear colour-LCD that

provides important information. Along with

dedicated TA functions and number touch keys,

BioStation L2 ensures maximised usability.

While 2.1’s major focus was providing

development support for integrators

and developers, 2.2’s major goal is

to provide more functionality to the platform.

These additional access control features will help

businesses be more secure and productive, while

improvements to the foundation of the platform

enhance security, stability, and performance.

Highlight Features

Server Matching

With server matching turned on, verification of

credentials is performed at the BioStar 2 server,

and authentication results are relayed back to the

requested device. This option allows for central

control and for the implementation of custom

authentication authorisation.

It also removes the 1:N user limitation relevant

to a device, as matching is performed on the

server and not on the device. Combined with

automatic synchronisation, user credentials can

be duplicated on the devices to act as a failsafe

when the server is disconnected or is offline.

Smart Card

The new smart card feature allows users to

utilise smart cards in various applications. A

secure credential card will exclusively store the

user ID, fingerprint template and PIN on the card

providing enhanced security to users.

Dynamic Logs

Enhanced logs functionality provides added

versatility by capturing and storing image logs

that are more dynamic,

in addition to existing text

logs. Combined with a Suprema terminal such

as BioStation A2, image logs will provide an

indepth view of access points during user-

defined events.

Time and Attendance

The new Time and Attendance module has

been designed from the ground up to be more

intuitive and easy to use. Administrators can set

up different pay codes and various shift schedule

and rules with a few clicks of a mouse.

Furthermore, users or administrators can

access individual time cards to view the

attendance record for a particular employee for

the efficient management of HR resources.

April 2015) says that PSiRA has continued to strengthen its effort towards delivering excellent service in areas of law enforcement, registration and training, stakeholder and customer relationship management over the past year.

Compliance inspections of security service providers conducted improved by 2.2 per cent from 27 073 in the previous financial year to 27 669 (2014/2015 PSiRA Annual Report).

“The average turn-around time of 20 days for the registration of both individual security officers and businesses meeting all requirements was successfully achieved,” she says. “The Authority achieved a turn-around time of 15 days for business registration and 17 days for individual security officers’ registration.”

Prof Mazibuko adds that stakeholder awareness and engagements were re-inforced using strategic PR campaigns through radio and TV interviews, compliance forums, print media campaigns, industry circulars, trade exhibitions, community outreach programmes, capacity building workshops and social media.

In addition to these objectives, PSiRA also focused its resources on internal activities such as capacity building workshops, improving conditions at the delivery sites, IT systems, building the organisation and improving resources and systems to ensure a streamlined service to stakeholders.

The number of active (employed) security officers decreased by 7.2 per cent from 487 058 in the previous financial year to 451 565 as at 31 March 2015. The registered active cash-in-transit businesses decreased from 4 465 businesses to 2 137 businesses

on the role of the entity and monitoring of security service providers are among other notable successes for the year under review.

Enforcing complianceDuring 2015 PSiRA launched the Renewal of Certificate project, which formed part of PSiRA’s objective to fulfil its regulatory mandate in interest of public safety. The purpose of the project was to ensure that only legible registered applicants (security officers and businesses) receive the new certificate with new security features encrypted.

For the first time, the PSiRA Certificate includes an expiry date (18 months for security officers and 12 months for security businesses). Other features include improved security features to prevent forgery, identity authentication with the Home Affairs database, and integration with Home Affairs to confirm citizenship.

PSiRA has identified industry non-compliance by unscrupulous security service providers as a risk that must be managed and controlled effectively.

Furthermore, the increasing identity theft currently taking place within the industry is not only compromising the integrity of the private security sector and economy, but further puts public safety at risk.

The Authority deployed the renewal project as one of the strategies to help to address these challenges.

The Minister of Police has applauded PSiRA for this project saying that it has benefited the industry in many ways, notably improving compliance of security service providers. Increased compliance with the Private Security Sector Provident Fund (PSSPF) and reported cases on identity theft are but some of the notable improvements.

Inspections and stakeholder relationsThe newly-appointed PSiRA chairperson of the Council, Prof Mazibuko (appointed

According to Minister of Police, Nkosinathi Nhleko, government recognises the significant role

that the South African private security industry plays in South Africa, specifically its significant impact on the country’s economy.

“The somewhat volatile economic environment calls for innovative solutions to ensure that the private security industry continues to play a significant role towards the growth of our country’s economy,” says Minister Nhleko.

“In order to reap the economic rewards, collaborative efforts must be made by all role players to improve and drive compliance within the industry,” he added.

Although the number of registered security officers increased by 5.9 per cent from 1 868 398 to 1 979 969 as at 31 March 2015, the number of active (employed) security officers has decreased by 7.2 per cent from 487 058 to 451 565 during the year under review (2014/2015 – Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSiRA) Annual Report).

The Minister of Police believes that PSiRA has improved on its monitoring of security companies and officers by more than 2.2 per cent compared to the previous year and says these efforts will go a long way in contributing to joint efforts in fighting crime and ensuring a safer environment for all South Africans.

PSiRA continues to post improvement on its planned strategic objectives. It achieved 83 per cent of its planned performance indicators. Improved awareness programmes

The current economic conditions, market volatility and the potential impact of legislation have all had a significant impact on the performance of the private security industry over the past year, with particular reference to the guarding sector.

WHO IS THE PRIVATE SECURITY INDUSTRY ACCORDING TO PSiRA ACT? All entities and individuals involved or rendering services in the private security industry. The definition of the PSiRA Act is very wide and covers guards, management, importers, installers, distributers, manufacturers, consultants and locksmiths.

during the year under review, representing a decrease of 52.1 per cent (2014/2015 PSiRA Annual Report).

The registered active armed response businesses decreased from 4 550 businesses to 3 136 businesses during the year under review, representing a decrease of 31.1 per cent (2014/2015 PSiRA Annual Report).

“The reduction can be attributed to poor economic growth which is contributing to job losses within the private security industry,” says Prof Mazibuko.

“Another contributing factor is the growing demand from consumers of the private security to have advanced technologies integrated in the security services provided. More companies are replacing their human capital with improved technologies,” she adds.

Director (CEO) PSiRA Manabela (Sam) Chauke reiterated that the Authority remains committed to effective implementation of its strategic plan.

“The purpose of the Renewal of Certificate programme for example, is to ensure that only eligible registered applicants (security officers and businesses) receive the new certificate with new security features encrypted,” he says.

“Furthermore, the ongoing industry exploitation in relation to deployment of unregistered illegal emigrants at the expense of South African citizens presented a critical need for the project,” added Mr Chauke.

The Authority also used the project to address the current footprint challenges by taking service delivery in a form of registration to some of the rural and remote areas across South Africa. A total of 64 106 individual certificates were renewed and 1 234 businesses renewed their certificates.

A total of 27 669 compliance inspections of security service providers were conducted as part of investigations by the Authority compared to 27 073 inspections in the previous financial year. Of the 27 669 compliance inspections conducted, 4 114

compliance inspections were conducted at security businesses and 23 555 compliance inspections were conducted at security officers deployed at different sites.

During the year under review, the Authority implemented an integrated stakeholder engagement and awareness drive with the objective of effectively educating the public about the role and functions of PSiRA and reducing industry non-compliance.

The PSiRA Research and Development Unit conducted surveys focused on consumer trends in mall security; consumer trends in public and private hospitals; consumer trends in public and private universities; and consumer trends in public and private schools.

Among other things, the consumer trend surveys revealed the significant role that consumers play in ensuring compliance or adversely perpetuating non-compliance.

Over and above the research topics and surveys, the unit continued to work on an ongoing three-year research project that is funded by the International Research and Development Centre (IDRC), namely, Promoting Partnership for Crime Prevention between State and Private Security Providers in Southern Africa.

portable Guardian tracking devices come in two models, namely the entry-level Guardian 600 and the advanced Guardian 700.

“The Guardian 600 is a robust handheld GPS tracking device that features a panic button. Once the panic button is pressed, it gives the immediate position of the unit to responders.”

In addition to the features of the Guardian 600, the Guardian 700 also boasts greater functionality, such as incoming and outgoing text messages, four pre-programmed quick-dial emergency numbers, as well as 20 standard phone numbers.

“The Guardian 700 is a powerful handheld safety tracking phone that provides the user with a live tracking view, a history report and scheduled reports – using the SkyQ tracking application or the SkyQ mobile application,” Mr Smith notes.

The compact and portable Guardian 700 is the equivalent size of a standard dictaphone, making it easy to fit with the guard’s equipment or uniform.

features a covert calling facility, whereby an authorised outside caller can dial into the unit and listen to what’s happening on the other side without anyone else being aware. Changuion reveals that this is ideal in urgent situations.

“Dialling in to the unit provides a far more precise and detailed description of what is happening, and enables management to make an informed decision related to the safety of the guard in question and the general public that may be affected.

“The Guardian 700 also features an innovative ‘man-down’ function. If the person or the device falls, it picks up the vibration and an alarm is triggered – immediately informing a pre-authorised contact of the situation,” he explains.

In security and guarding applications, the Guardian 700 is suitable for verifying and tracking the performance of patrol units by monitoring the user’s movements within a geo-fenced area.

It also alerts operators when deviant or unspecified movements are executed, and when a dangerous or off-limit zone is entered.

It also gives a detailed audit trail of the guard’s logged instructions and movements,

adding control to mobile workforce management applications. This information is available to management through a trip replay or trip report via the SkyQ control panel.

“It ultimately ensures that guards located at residential complexes or office parks, for example, are in fact patrolling predefined points or locations at designated times.

“The Guardian 700 is also ideally suited to the mobile security workforce, such as armed response officers, who are not only tracked in their vehicles, but are monitored after leaving the vehicle and while arriving at the scene of a call-out, thereby ensuring that their movement and safety is monitored in real-time,” Mr Smith continues.

The Guardian 700 cannot be turned off at will, unless the customer makes a special request for a particular reason.

It only shuts down when it runs out of battery power. Before this happens, a notification is sent to the call centre and the customer is reminded to charge the battery using either an electrical charger, solar charger or USB connection.

“By being on around-the-clock, the tracking function on the Guardian 700 is guaranteed at all times,” Mr Smith concludes.

AXIS M30 allows for discreet installationThe compact palm-sized design of the new cameras in the AXIS M30 Series allows them to be discreetly installed in indoor locations. They can easily be repainted in any desired colour to blend in with the environment and are ideally suited for video surveillance applications in hotels, restaurants, retail shops, offices and schools.

Axis Communications, a market leader in network video, introduces three new mini dome network

cameras to the AXIS M30 Series. The new models offer HDTV image quality to capture all details, Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology to adapt to variable lighting conditions and Axis’ Zipstream technology to reduce storage and bandwidth requirements without sacrificing important image details.

The factory-focused cameras can be mounted on walls or ceilings and are easily levelled and directed in any direction using a 3-axis camera angle adjustment.

“Our new AXIS M30 cameras offer superb video quality in indoor environments at a very attractive price point. This makes them ideally suited for small and medium-sized business installations where many cameras are needed to cover the whole area without blind spots,” says Roy Alves, business development manager at Axis Communications.

“The cameras are easy to install and come factory-focused. With their compact dimensions they can be mounted very discreetly. Customers get a high quality product that has undergone rigorous testing and offers great reliability. We underline this with a three year warranty,” he explains.

AXIS M3044-V provides HDTV 720p video at up to 30 fps. AXIS M3045-V provides HDTV 1080p video at 30 fps and offers HDMI support that enables live streaming to an HDTV monitor for public viewing. AXIS M3046-V provides 4MP resolution at up to 30 fps and offers HDMI support as well.

AXIS M3046-V can also be used as an alternative to a camera with varifocal lens. Its 4MP resolution and digital PTZ capability enable sharp, cropped out views in HDTV 1080p, for example, with a horizontal field of view between 95° and 125°.

The new cameras in the AXIS M30 Series provide multiple, individually configurable H.264 and Motion JPEG video streams. They offer video motion detection and active tampering alarm as well as support for third party video analytics applications such as people counting.

Axis’ Corridor Format makes full use of the sensor when

monitoring narrow areas such as staircases,

hallways or aisles by providing vertically oriented video streams.

The cameras have an Ethernet

connector for network connectivity,

as well as power (PoE) and an integrated MicroSD/

microSDHC memory card slot for edge storage applications.

AXIS M3044-V, AXIS M3045-V and AXIS M3046-V come with a three-year warranty. This will be the new standard for all Axis

M-line products and a significant increase to the previous one-year warranty.

AXIS M30 cameras are supported by the industry’s largest base of video management software through the Axis Application Development Partner (ADP) Programme, and AXIS Camera Station. The cameras also include support for AXIS Camera Application Platform and ONVIF for easy system integration.

The new cameras in the AXIS M30 Series are available through Axis distribution channels.

The new high performance mini dome network cameras are

ideally suited for indoor video surveillance applications in

hotels, restaurants, retail shops, offices and schools.


OPINION PIECE

However, simply having cameras in place is not sufficient to either deter crime or catch the perpetrators after

the fact. Cameras need to be monitored, which requires physical intervention. This in turn requires a properly integrated control room with up to date technology to enable control room operators to take appropriate action in the event of an incident.

However, analytics solutions can provide assistance to aid the human component, ensuring that incidents are identified quickly for swift remedial action. Saying this, effective city and Central Business District (CBD) surveillance requires the right mix of technology, people and processes to be effective, and while cameras are an essential component of this, they are by no means the only piece of the puzzle.

The control room is the heart of effective city surveillance. It needs to form a central hub for all of the cameras to connect to and be monitored from. As such, it needs to be properly integrated, not only with cameras, but also with all other security solutions such as perimeter detection, armed response and more. In addition, technology within the control room must be up to date and easy to use so that control room operators can access the features they need to provide effective security.

The cameras themselves, while not sufficient in isolation, are also an extremely important part of the solution. Without effective camera coverage, visibility around cities is limited and ineffective. Camera networks first and foremost need to be scalable, as additional cameras may need to be added in order to provide more comprehensive coverage.

If solutions are not scalable, this would require the entire network to be overhauled

Integrated solutions and smart analytics The key to effective surveillance

every time more cameras are added. Scalable solutions also enable cities to start small in the most pressing areas and then expand as and when budget becomes available and return on investment is realised.

Another important factor is the camera quality. If images produced by surveillance are poor quality and grainy or do not provide enough detail for operators so see what is happening in some detail, they will not be useful in detecting and preventing crime.

While 4K or ultra high definition cameras provide the highest level of detail, these may not be needed in all areas, and legacy investment into existing cameras may be a problem. The control room therefore must be able to integrate multiple camera types, including HD, 4K and even thermal imaging cameras. Solutions should also support the migration to 4K as this will become the camera standard in the future.

In addition, cameras need to combine the ability to map them back to physical locations using GPS technology. This enables operators to determine the exact location of any specific camera to pinpoint where events showing up in the camera feed are taking place, allowing for the right personnel to be sent to the scene without delay.

In order to further add value and enhance security solutions, both cameras and control rooms need to be able to also integrate with third party systems such as number plate recognition, as well as hot lists of vehicles that have been reported stolen or are known to be involved in criminal activities, for instance.

In order to achieve this, some level of analytics is required either on the physical camera itself, or on the Digital Video Recorder (DVR) in the control room. Smart analytics can also be used to create automated alerts

for suspicious behaviour, including people loitering or frequently showing up in high-risk areas. With analytics capabilities cameras can even be used to enforce no-go zones or one-way streets as they can be programmed to deliver alerts when any non-compliant behaviours are detected. Smart analytics can also ‘learn’ from prior events, thereby minimising the number of false alarms over time so that operators are more efficient, only dealing with alerts that indicate real issues.

However, in order for these functions to be effective, it is also essential to have the right escalation procedures in place to ensure operators respond timeously to alerts.

Effective city and CBD surveillance relies on the interaction and integration of a number of different technologies and smart solutions.

Cameras still form the crux of such systems, as they create the visibility needed into areas in order to provide effective policing and other safety and security features.

However, cameras alone are not enough. They need to be linked to a properly integrated control room, which features up to date technology as well as intelligent analytical solutions that allow for customised alerts to be sent out.

With these and the right escalation procedures in place, appropriate action can be taken to act on safety issues as they occur, as well as provide evidence after the fact.

Surveillance cameras have become an integral component of any comprehensive security solution, and are particularly applicable in city and CBD scenarios where crime tends to be a more common occurrence.

Biometric Identity Management System (BIMS), the world’s first mobile biometrics console, was

unveiled for the first time at the connectID 2016 conference and expo at the Walter E. Washington Convention Centre in Washington recently.

South African-based biometrics experts and innovators Ideco developed the new all-in-one mobile biometrics unit.

The company says there is a huge global interest in this configurable, mobile advanced biometrics identification solution. It expects to take the identification world by storm.

BIMS enables biometric identification across a range of modalities – from fingerprint through to iris scanning – as well as being highly mobile and readily configurable. It can be rolled out rapidly in any environment requiring agile identification and processing of crowds.

It is capable of six biometric modalities

Ideco wows US biometric conference-goers

Venessa Mitsingas, currently sales director of John Elliott Security cc, has been appointed managing

director of the company with effect from 1 April 2016.

Venessa has been with John Elliott Security for 14 years.

Says Peter Jephson: “Venessa has played a major role in substantially growing the company’s customer base and turnover, during this time. She is ably supported by our ‘all women’ long-serving executive team of Dhevika Singh, financial manager; and Desiree De Andrade, executive office manager.”

Says Venessa: “Our company has come a long way since it was founded in a garage in Edenvale in 1980.”

Venessa attributes the company’s success to its passionate commitment to service delivery, leading to customer loyalty.

For instance, John Elliott Security has recently handed over a sophisticated I/P Viconet controlled CCTV system to a Brazilian mining group in Tete province, Mozambique.

and delivers a full range of connectivity options including Bluetooth, WiFi, GSM, GPS, LAN and Cloud.

Multi-functional and uniquely configurable, the unit has been designed to the world’s most stringent hardware and software security standards, and harnesses intelligent power management for prolonged battery life of up to 12 hours.

Ideco chief executive officer Marius Coetzee says there is already a massive interest in BIMS.

“We specifically chose this event for the launch because BIMS is a solution of international significance. It is unlike any other solution currently on the market for biometric user identification and access control.”

The need for secure and authentic identity management has reached crisis proportions globally, with demand for advanced, agile and multi-modal biometric identity management.

Mr Coetzee says most of the systems currently on the market offer single factor authentication. “Until now, no one could deliver six modalities in a single portable device, which can be used in any configuration for multiple levels of identification, as well as integrating into existing enterprise systems quickly and easily.”

BIMS enables agile, rapid roll-out of advanced biometrics-based solutions and has relevance for both the public and private sector across any number of verticals. With the intelligent use of APIs, the solution can be integrated with any backend system.

“This is a world first multi-modal, multi-functional, uniquely configurable mobile identity management solution. BIMS’ mobile and uniquely configurable abilities facilitate both identity enrolment and identity validation efficiently, securely and authentically at any place, any time,” he explains.

Each iteration has seen a number of advances introduced that deliver significant value. Before Version

6.4 each video management system (VMS) within a CCTV system was an island on its own; Version 6.4 saw the release of a unified VMS for the first time.

This means that organisations could finally unify their video management systems, and bring them into one interface.

New DVTEL United VMS version 7.0 available from GIT

Now, with Version 7.0, DVTEL is taking this capability to the next level and introducing the DVTEL C.O.O.L Experience.• Cyber defended• Open solutions• Optimised streaming• Leading user experience

Cyber defended open solutionsIn addition to supporting new models and generations from the six leading vendors of CCTV equipment, this update sees the addition of a cyber defence component.

This is a significant development in this field, as this is the first time the issue has been tackled head-on in CCTV management technology, acknowledging the fact that the threat to CCTV systems from hackers and cyber intruders is a very real one.

Version 7.0, the IP-immune VMS Cyber-Defence suite, which is a multi-layered protection approach designed to ensure DVTEL video surveillance solutions are sealing IT corporate grids from cyber penetrability through IP video networks and IP-immune PORTection is an additional layer in the IP-immune suite that’s responsible for ensuring all devices that connect to the video network are properly identified, authenticated in compliance with customer policies, or blocked

from the network entirely.

This system is pre-staged and configured before it is shipped to customers, to make sure it can be unboxed and used without hassle, immediately.

Optimised streaming and leading user experience in this version of DVTEL’s video management

system, video streaming has finally been optimised.

Through adaptive streaming that controls and optimises how video flows through the network system, VMS operators will now get a better return on investment in terms of what they can see and what they can work with.

The star of the update is undoubtedly the EZ Client, which completely overhauls the user interface and moves the customer experience toward a web-based application with a notification centre. This updated client interface is touch optimised and offers an informative camera catalogue with a dynamic live camera layout. Enhancements to ControlCentre include filters that can be applied per camera or site, the ability to search for footage by thumbnail, as well as the capability to playback, export and zoom in and out of playback scenes.

The ControlCentre is now capable of connecting to more systems from a single ControlCentre – up to 45 sites with a maximum of 10 000 cameras.

This update also offers new supported features for Quasar Gen II, including dual stream support for 4K/25fps and D1/25fps streams, PAL/NTSC configuration support. There is now a 90°/270° rotation capability, which lets VMS operators see more with Corridor Mode; and the VMS now supports deployments requiring rates higher than 12/15FPS as well.

Upgrading to DVTEL United VMS Version 7.0 is a smart decision. It allows for quick and easy deployment of client machines with a simple and functional user interface.

PORTection is a valuable addition to this update as it sets a solid foundation on which cyber defence protection mechanisms can be implemented in physical security systems and offers robust client software with the ability to access more sites and cameras from a single control centre, as well as increased support for third party edge devices.

The College was founded in 1438 and one of the main challenges was to safeguard

people and property without affecting the visual appeal of buildings from the reign of Henry VI.

All Souls is benefitting from the latest version of ACT’s management software, ACTenterprise. This is a role-based platform with functionality available to users according to their specific needs (e.g. installer, security guard, system administrator) and which offers operators the look and feel of a web browser experience.

Fellows and staff at the College are using ACT’s own contactless smart cards with the ACTpro MIFARE 1030 proximity reader.

Crucially, this is a slim-line mullion reader and for the All Souls project, ACT used their 1030PM brass finish (usually associated with audio entry panels) and designed a flush plate in solid brass that is fitted to walls near doorways in order to blend with stone dressings that can date back to 1440. The ACTPro 1030 unit is suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation.

Despite the growing threat posed by cyber criminals, a new survey has shown that people in the UK are still

more concerned about physical crime. The research, conducted by security fence

specialists One Stop Fencing, found that 62 per cent of us are mostly worried about physical crime. While 38 per cent of the survey respondents suggested that they are now more preoccupied with protecting themselves against hackers, it’s clear that burglars and vandals are still the most pressing worry for the majority.

“ACT worked with Executive Alarms to ‘piggy-back’ any conduit needed for our units with existing structured cabling wherever possible and the fact that the controllers are IP units meant the installation neither disrupted the core activities of the college nor compromised the integrity of the buildings.

“The minimal amount of cabling needed has been hidden in mortar lines by stone masons.”

The ACTpro 1520 single-door IP controllers used here are expandable up to 32 doors through use of ACT door stations. ACT’s range of door stations offers break glass

monitoring, reader short circuit protection, voltage monitoring and anti-passback. Faults are reported on a web interface and the ACTenterprise software.

All Souls is an integral part of the University of Oxford but the college has no undergraduates and is predominantly a graduate research institution.

The ACT equipment is in use in many parts of the College, including

the Codrington Library whose holdings are noted for law, history, philosophy and sociology. There are more than 185 000 items of which a third were published in the 18th century or earlier.

Fellows of the College include or have included philosopher Sir Isaiah Berlin, the politician Keith Joseph (cabinet member under Margaret Thatcher), John Redwood (cabinet member under John Major), Cosmo Gordon Lang (Archbishop of Canterbury 1928-1942) and T.E.

wane, Darren Griffiths, owner of One Stop Fencing, has urged small business owners not to let their guard slip.

“The Home Office confirmed last year that 5,5 million crimes against businesses across six industry sectors were committed between 2012 and 2014, which shows that while incidence rates are falling, business owners really can’t afford to take their eye off the ball,” he commented.

“Cashflow can be extremely tight for your average start-up and it’s no exaggeration to say that a break-in can feasibly send a lot of fledgling companies under. It’s crucial that businesses take steps to protect their livelihoods.”

The company also urged business owners to think about long-term costs when allocating their security budgets. A second survey showed that nearly one in three people see alarms as the best, most cost-effective way to protect a property overnight, followed by CCTV (28 per cent of the vote), security guards (15 per cent), motion-sensing floodlights (14 per cent) and security fences (8 per cent).

“It’s understandable that your average small business owner will be wary of incurring big one-off costs. However, you have to play the long game and weigh up how much you’re likely to spend [on security measures] in the future,” Darren continued.

With the DDZ4220HD and DDZ4230HD Dallmeier launches new PTZ cameras with a

resolution of up to two megapixels. The cameras of the series DDZ42xxHD are

high-speed HD PTZ dome network cameras. They are equipped with a high-performance pan-tilt-zoom mechanism and provide real-time high-definition video with up to 30fps at a resolution of 2MP.

The most advanced sensor and encoder technology and the sophisticated image processing provide recordings with excellent contrast, brilliant clarity, as well as highest detail resolution and colour fidelity.

The DDZ4220HD features 20x optical zoom and the DDZ4230HD 30x optical zoom with auto-focus. The high zoom factor allows for the easy and discreet surveillance even of faraway objects. Functions like “Digital WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)“ and “3D DNR (3D digital noise reduction)“ guarantee good image quality.

The very good light sensitivity of the sensor and the sophisticated image processing ensure crisp colour images even in low lighting. In night mode, the cameras also provide outstanding results due to the very good infrared sensitivity.

The PTZ cameras are equipped with a removable IR cut filter, and can automatically switch between day and night mode.

In addition, different day and night presets for the exposure settings can be defined and adjusted.

Dallmeier launches new cameras

Up to 128 preset positions and 32 tours can be programmed. Particularly useful in that regard are the adjustable alarm actions with contact closure.

If a certain contact is closed, i.e. triggered, for example by opening an entrance door, the camera automatically moves to the programmed preset position of the relevant scene.

The DDZ4220HD and DDZ4230HD are equipped with a RAM memory that is used by the EdgeStorage function for storing the video stream in case of a network failure.

When the network is restored, the SmartBackfill function ensures a fast transmission to the SMAVIA recording system. This stores the video stream with high speed and then continues the recording of the live stream seamlessly.

The PTZ dome cameras are available in an in-ceiling, surface or weatherproof housing.

The in-ceiling variant of the camera is tested according to the stringent requirements of the UL 2043 relating to flame retardancy and low smoke emission.

Thus, it is approved for installation in air-conducting space, for example in air shafts or false ceilings dissipating the air to a central air conditioning.

The PTZ cameras can be conventionally supplied with 24 V AC or conveniently with Power over Ethernet (PoE+).

In addition to the DDZ42xxHD series, there is also a new PTZ camera series DDZ41xxHD available with up to 1.3 megapixels.

Access control manufacturer ACT has released a single-door IP controller aimed at new and

existing customers. The ACTpro 1520e gives integrators

ultimate flexibility. They can install the controller using IP at every door, create a hub from RS485 or, most importantly, expand using Ethernet by exploiting the unit’s dual Ethernet switch.

The controller is both flexible and scalable. New clients will usually opt to connect the ACTpro 1520e sequentially as a daisy chain but ACT’s legacy clients can use it seamlessly with the company’s two and four-door controllers.

The ACTpro 1520e offers the benefits of distributed intelligence, anti passback, interlock and status LEDs. The controller is designed to work from ACT’s latest management software, ACTenterprise. It can

Following the ASIS International presentation, Andrew Kelly, speaking for the International Security Management Institute (ISMI), discussed the organisation’s primary training programme and qualification, the Certified Security Management Programme.

The key benefits the programme offers are providing students with the skill sets and knowledge of supply chain and business in general that allows security professionals to work more effectively in a corporate environment.

The programme ensures that key areas and best practices in the security industry are addressed during the training programme, providing students with in-depth knowledge of the industry itself.

Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) representative Jesca Liphadzi spoke briefly about the international organisation’s role in the security industry in fighting fraud and white collar crimes in corporate environments.

The ACFE’s primary aim is to raise the standard of fraud examination in South

Africa through prevention, education, and the potential of community environments in the workplace.

With organisations losing approximately five per cent of their revenues to fraud, the issue of fraud prevention has taken on greater importance in the security industry. The ACFE ensures practical training, ethical standards, and the regulation of the forensic industry across South Africa.

A final brief presentation was given by Colin Ackroyd who spoke briefly on the importance of ISO standards in ensuring consistency in the security industry. With more than 20 000 standards developed since the body’s inception in 1947, ISO standards represent best practice across numerous industries around the world.

A lack of adoption in South Africa, however, has left the door open for the security industry in South Africa to adopt these standards to a greater degree instead of attempting to develop their own.

Attendees were then given the floor to provide their opinions on how the security industry needs to improve or develop in order

to move forward. There was a general consensus that the need

for an official security body in South Africa – separate from institutes and organisations – is essential to creating a more stable and professional environment within the industry.

This ties in to a lack of leadership in the industry, exacerbated by the disconnect between different levels of management and lack of training.

Finally, it was emphasised that there needs to be a continued push for professional development that works on the occupational needs of the industry through the development of a gap analysis.

In the end, the workshop was successful in highlighting the key issues that the areas of education and professional training in the security industry face.

Thanks to the insights and information offered during the course of the event, many attendees were left with a greater understanding of what is required to develop these areas, as well as learning the importance of personal professional development in the industry.


LAW & SECURITY

The first two blasts took place at Brussels Airport in Zaventem and the third blast occurred an hour after the

airport bombs exploded at the metro station situated in the Maalbeek, a suburb of Brussels.

At the time of writing, 35 people have died as a result of the bombs set off by three suicide bombers and more than 300 people were injured.

In the airport, the two blasts were separated with one taking place in the vicinity of a check-in counter area and the second close to a coffee shop and another set of check-in counters.

In both of these, the bombs containing nails as shrapnel, are believed to have been carried in suitcases that exploded at or near floor level leading to extensive serious lower limb injuries over a wide area.

The third bomb was exploded in the middle carriage of a three-car train in the metro. Seventeen deaths and 81 injuries occurred at the Zaventem Airport with the balance of injuries at the metro station where there were also 14 deaths.

Subsequently, four victims died in hospital. In this regard sympathies must be extended on a national basis, as well as towards the families of victims of the bombings.

There have been a number of questions raised around why Brussels and Belgium were targeted and the simplistic answer has been that Belgium was one of the participating states in the coalition airstrikes against ISIS in Syria and was identified by ISIS for retaliation.

Less simplistically, Belgium has provided a very high number of jihadist fighters to combat in Syria and Iraq, on a proportionate basis more than any other European country and Belgian nationals were identified as having been involved in the attack which occurred in Paris on 13 November 2015.

The Belgian authorities made the arrest of the prime suspect in the Paris attacks, Salah Abdeslam, on 18 March 2016 in the Malbeek area, in a home within blocks of where he grew up.

There is a vein of thought that the airport and metro bombings were a direct response to Abedeslam’s arrest but logistically the four-day period between the arrest and explosions is also seen as being too short for the planning and construction of the three bombs that were exploded.

It should be noted that a fourth unexploded suitcase bomb was found at Zaventem Airport which the authorities destroyed in a controlled detonation.

The Malbeek Station is close to the headquarters of the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation is similarly based in Brussels.

The Malbeek suburb has been identified as an area with a high level of families of Moroccan and Turkish descent with disproportionate levels of unemployment (in the region of 40 per cent), high levels of criminal activity, lower levels of education and a strong Muslim community.

Part of the reason for this concentration is seen as the situation of Great Mosque which was constructed in Malbeek with Saudi funding in the 1970s and allegedly fundamentalist preaching that has taken place at the mosque.

This argument has been countered by condemnation of terror incidents in Europe from the religious leaders at the mosque.

However, it remains clear that the Malbeek, Schaerbeek and Laeken areas are recruiting grounds for jihadist fighters. The Muslim community has its roots in migrant labor pools that went to Belgium from Morocco and Turkey in the early 1960s and currently there are second and third generation Belgian citizen of Arabic descent concentrated in the three suburbs referred to.

Within these communities there has been a lower level of economic assimilation and, from reports, there are perceptions of bias with

work opportunities, availability of education and training and social services seen as continuing the cycle of marginalisation.

The level of criminality has seen the rise of radicalisation within the prison system which compounds the dissatisfaction of the unemployed youth.

A further contributing factor that has been identified is the apparent lower level of application of intelligence and preventive measures in Belgium.

It has been reported that Belgium received reports of imminent attacks on an airport and train infrastructure from allied intelligence agencies immediately prior to the attacks of 22 March but countermeasures were not put in place.

Two of the deceased suicide bombers were brothers Ibrahim and Khalid El Bakraoui. Ibrahim El Bakraoui was arrested by the Turkish authorities during June 2015 in the Syrian border area after being identified as a combatant and repatriated to Holland.

At that time, the Turkish authorities advised their Belgian counterparts that he should be considered a threat but no apparent action seems to have been taken by the latter.

He was also identified as a threat on an American surveillance list in September 2015 due to both his conviction for armed robbery in 2010 in Belgium and terrorist affiliations.

On 16 March 2016, the Dutch authorities stated they received information of the brother’s status on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s watch list and concerns the Federal Bureau of Investigations had identified, and the next day they advised their Belgian counterparts of the information received.

The Belgian authorities contend that the information was not received from the Dutch authorities. It is alleged that no response was made by the Belgian authorities to any

Zaventem and Malbeek bombings

On 22 March 2016, three coordinated blasts involving the use of suicide bombs took place in Belgium and combined is the worst incident of terrorism in the country’s history.

of the separate information received as listed above from the Turkish, Dutch and American intelligence agencies.

Following debates in the Belgian Parliament immediately after the bombings, the Ministers of Justice and the Interior both offered their resignations, neither was accepted.

A number of raids and arrests took place throughout Belgium following the terror incidents and a number of arrests were made. However, the perceived primary suspect who was believed to have been the third person seen in surveillance footage taken at the airport has subsequently been released due to a lack of evidence.

The Federal Bureau of Investigations has provided assistance to the Belgian authorities and is continuing to do so following the death of American citizens in the blasts.

Responsibility for the blasts has been claimed by ISIS and there are concerns internationally that this may indicate a shift towards higher frequency attacks by ISIS affiliates against not only European countries using trained specialist cells with a view towards forcing the increased allocation of funds and manpower to mitigate potential attacks.

If this is the case, increased levels of co-operation on an international basis between intelligence agencies including effective cross border and intercontinental pooling of information will become even more essential. The level of alert across Europe was increased in the wake of the twin attacks and remains high in a number of countries and this likely to be maintained for the foreseeable future.

Protecting against attacks committed by citizens or residents remains difficult as does

the monitoring of entry into European Union member countries given the free access and border transit within the Union.

There is a perception, which may or may not be correct, that the open border policy and immigration may be a factor in the referendum vote to be taken in June 2016 with regard to Britain leaving the European Economic Union.

Given the location of the bombings the above has been written in an attempt to answer the questions relating to Brussels and Belgium as the location for the attacks and is of necessity based on open source reports and information available.
