MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaMarch 8, 2018November 14, 202405 mins

NEC Corporation and NEC Asia Pacific announced the successful completion of three Safety and Security test bed projects, held in and near Jurong Island, under the Safety and Security Industry Programme (SSIP) 2020. The SSIP 2020 is led by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and done in collaboration with JTC. ne in collaboration with JTC. The three trials were conducted over a period of 12 months from September 2016, and are aimed at using data analytics and security insights to address Singapore’s safety and security needs. The trials involved early detection of suspicious behaviour, off-site security clearance of authorised personnel and on-the-spot enrolment for first-time visitor access to controlled areas. In the first trial, NEC provided and tested a system that utilised its high performance NeoFace® Facial Recognition software together with the Intelligent Complex Event Processing engine which correlates audio and video analytics, to detect suspicious behaviour and identify Persons of Interest (POIs) in both indoor and outdoor areas. The second trial facilitated off-site security clearance for entry of authorised personnel into Jurong Island, thus reducing congestion at checkpoints. NEC provided and tested a Bus Sensors Monitoring Management System using customised tamper-proof security sensors to prevent un-authorised opening of vehicle doors during bus journeys. The third trial tested the feasibility of an automated system to provide a more efficient method of enrolling first-time visitors for entry into Jurong Island. The system leveraged NEC’s world-leading biometric solution to expedite clearance of such visitors via onthe-spot facial and fingerprint recognition enrolment at car inspection bays. For all the 3 trials, the technologies provided real-time monitoring and alerts to the simulated Command Centre, to inform the authorities of activities which may require law enforcement action. As one of the world leaders in ICT and Public Safety solutions, NEC hopes to further collaborate with the government to address heightened security threats in the areas of critical infrastructure, border control and city surveillance for a safer and more secure Singapore. “Our safety and security agencies are continuously seeking to make use of new technologies and innovation to keep up with challenges and maintain our operational excellence. Testing innovative solutions through the SSIP provides a useful platform to do so, and we look forward to more collaboration with solutions providers to address safety and security challenges, and to serve the public better,” said Mr Ng Yeow Boon, Senior Director of MHA’s Ops-Tech Group. “JTC is always on the lookout for new solutions to ensure a safer environment in our industrial space. A key example is how we achieved better security operations by improving biometric access control at Jurong Island. We are pleased to support these latest efforts to testbed new security innovations,” said Heah Soon Poh, Assistant Chief Executive Officer, Engineering and Operations Group, JTC. In June 2014, an NEC-led consortium completed the first phase of the Safe City Test Bed initiative at Orchard Road for the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Economic Development Board.

Vanderbilt Protects Physical Security Against the Threat of a Cyber World

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaMarch 8, 2018November 14, 202403 mins

This ethos has changed how Vanderbilt think over the last few years when designing and developing their own security systems, in particular SPC. FlexC, the company’s communications protocol, was redesigned from the ground up solely with cybersecurity in mind. The entire protocol has been designed to ensure everything is encrypted, all communications are monitored, and multiple types of attack are considered for defensive purposes to provide the best security possible. Multiple lines of defense SPC has built-in protection mechanisms whereby if the system is attacked, it will go into protection mode. The system will remain operational and it will still be able to communicate out, but it will start to shut down elements of itself to protect the system from the attack. Again, no system is completely invincible. SPC has also been designed so that should an attack penetrate, the system has multiple communication paths available as backup. Therefore, if one server is taken down the system can immediately switch to a backup server and then switch communication paths to bypass the attack and ensure messages are still operating successfully. Best practices Technology in day-to-day life might be growing at a rapid rate leading to fears of potential security breaches. But one must remember that technology’s growth also means that security defenses are developing in parallel. At its core, security is about being continuously observant, always following best practices, and being ready and able to react against a security issue. Best practices to combat the threat of a cyberattack can be quite straightforward. The most obvious place to start is to choose equipment from reliable suppliers that have a knowledge and interest in cybersecurity and are focused on protecting data. It might sound simple but buying products with a built-in security focus greatly reduces the risk of a cyber attack. When your security system is designed from the ground up to protect against cyberattacks, then naturally your organization will be in a much better place.

Ted’s Pawn Protects Customer Assets With Verified Video Surveillance

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaMarch 8, 2018November 14, 202404 mins

Ted’s Pawn, located in Norwood, OH, has successfully been using video verification technology to reduce false alarms and catch the bad guys before they’re able to gain entry to the store and adjoining storage lot. “Ted’s Pawn has been a long-time customer for us,” explained Wayne Lisle, VP and GM for Sonitrol SW Ohio, “They’ve had analog video surveillance for about eight years, and we had been utilizing audio verification of alarms for the inside of the store. The outside lot was a different story.” The Ted’s Pawn outdoor lot is filled with vehicles, motorcycles, boats, and high value items that they must protect. “We wanted to do video verification for the lot,” said Lisle, “but until recently there were many challenges – complicated installation, connectivity, reliability, and eliminating false alarms.” “Now with a 3xLOGIC hybrid DVR, we can use analytics to associate existing outdoor cameras – two cover the yard, two cover the shop’s roof – to the Sonitrol panel and seamlessly provide video alarm feeds to our Sonitrol central station to detect and verify any threat. Going forward, Ted’s can install IP cameras and even thermal cameras to the existing network covering the lot.” In the most recent incident at Ted’s, the Sonitrol operator received a video alarm feed showing a man entering the outdoor lot. The operator dispatched police and the suspect was apprehended in short order. “One of the most important aspects of our business is taking care of our customer’s valuable items,” said Ralph Tincher of Ted’s Pawn Shop, “One of the ways that we’ve taken the extra step to ensure we’re taking care of their precious goods is partnering with Sonitrol Verified Video security. Years ago, at our former location we had a break-in. The thief was able to get into the building and do some damage. After talking to other members in our industry, we found out there are ways to catch thieves before they get into your building.” “Here at our new, larger location where we deal with a lot of high-dollar items, we’ve had three attempted breakins in the last six years. Every single time, thanks to Sonitrol verified video, powered by 3xLOGIC technology, those thieves were caught before they got anywhere near to entering the building,” Tincher concluded.
