INDIA RISK SURVEY 2018

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaOctober 8, 2018November 14, 2024037 mins

India continues to position itself as an attractive hub for investments from foreign players with an expanding economy and a steady gross domestic product (GDP) growing annually at 7.1%. International forums have indicated that the ease of doing business in India has improved significantly. Pro-investor policies have been implanted by the government to further bolster India’s position in the international market. Through several flagship programmes, the government is striving to promote manufacturing activity locally. Foreign investment and IT-powered infrastructure continue to be developed to further enable support for logistically robust and multi-nodal networks. Emerging possibilities of growth implies risks across all sectors. Companies should expect an array of challenges in business operations in India. A lack of preparation against risk mitigation could result in financial and operational functions. The Government of India continues to make attempts at ensuring that bilateral and multilateral relations remain friendly for businesses to conduct operations. As India prepares itself, as a nation, for another round of general elections in 2019, there has emerged a certain amount of uncertainty regarding business policies and existing schemes. With the upcoming elections in 2019, it is likely that policy change may affect business continuity. A holistic risk-management strategy would assist businesses to anticipate and prepare against emerging and existing risks, thereby, allowing a company to mitigate such risks. The India Risk Survey consists of 12 risks that indicate the most significant threats to business operations and development in India. Each risk is assessed individually, which provides a deeper and more holistic understanding, based on the Pinkerton Risk Wheel. The Pinkerton Risk Wheel frames risk into four broad categories which can help understand not only the different threats that can impact business continuity, but the inter connectivity of risks as a whole. Threats categorized in one risk area ultimately can impact the other risk areas. The risks wheel is divided into four quadrants – Hazard & Event Risk (natural hazards, terrorism & insurgency, crime and fire), Operational and Physical Risk (strikes and unrest, threats to women safety, accidents and infrastructure risk), Market and Economic Risk (political and government instability, corruption, bribery, fraud, and legal regulatory risk), and Technology and Information Risk (information and cyber insecurity, intellectual property theft and business espionage). The India Risk Survey (IRS) aims to measure and quantify the different risks that organizations face when conducting operations in India. The constantly evolving nature of risks compels organizations to safeguard their operations and develop innovative strategies to predict threats. In this seventh edition, IRS 2018 aims to delve deeper into all facets of risks to identify the most prevalent threats under each risk category. Through deliberations with policy makers and industry stakeholders across sectors, each year emerging risks are also identified. The IRS 2018 states infrastructure risks, occupational hazards at workplace and legal regulatory risk as the emerging risks of 2018. In today’s time, policy makers and business leaders can truly fulfil their role by timely anticipating risks. On behalf of Pinkerton, I sincerely hope that the India Risk Survey 2018 report will assist the industry, as well as the government decision makers to assess the impact of these risks and develop preventive strategies to mitigate them. – Rohit Karnatak, Managing Director India, APAC & EMEA – Global Screening, Pinkerton Overall Risk Trends – 2018 India Risk Survey 2018 also provides the most significant threat types within each risk for a comprehensive reading of each threat-vector as part of a larger reality. The threats are interconnected and overlap across domains, sectors and geographies. In the 2018 edition, new risks have been identified on the basis of this year’s survey, which include infrastructure risk, occupational hazards at workplace, and legal regulatory risks. Information and Cyber Insecurity remains at the top position in the India Risk Survey 2018. Considering the importance of cyber critical infrastructure, the vulnerabilities attached to it remain largely underlined in the Survey. Services in India are quickly moving towards digitization. While this could be perceived as a step towards rapid development in various sectors, it also presents risks in which malicious activity can be easily carried out, posing a significant threat to sensitive data. The India Risk Survey 2018 focuses on four major risks posed by Information and Cyber Insecurity. These are data theft, compliance and regulatory incidents, cyber infrastructure attacks, and impersonations. Amongst these, data theft, phishing, and hacktivism emerged as the biggest threat. With India becoming a key destination for businesses and foreign investment, a more serious focus should be directed to create a robust security mechanism to address these challenges. Natural Hazards ranks as the second biggest risk to business operations in the India Risk Survey 2018. As per the findings, floods pose the biggest threat to business operations. Inadequate infrastructure and maintenance by concerned bodies remain a primary factor that would allow natural hazards to pose serious risks to business operations. Further, a lack of preparedness and early warning systems has contributed to making Natural Hazards a risk that should be considered with more seriousness. Outbreak of fire ranks at third position with numerous fire accidents in the current year, causing significant loss of life and property. Non-compliance with safety norms in factories and high-rises in addition to the under-equipped fire services in India has led to an alarming number of accidents year-on-year. While the government and other regulatory bodies have prescribed norms and fire safety measures, implementation and vigilance continue to be a concern. Risks that emanate from Terrorism and Insurgency show a significant drop to the fourth position. While there has been a marked decrease in fatalities, it has been found that there has also been a rise in the number of alleged terrorist attacks in the country. Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) remains a severe threat, posing security risks mainly to logistical operations. While the Islamic State (IS) has been relatively controlled on a global scale, the potential of IS sleeper cells remains a big threat. The Government of India continues to push concentrated efforts to holistically counter the threats…

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaOctober 6, 2018November 14, 202403 mins

FICCI has recently released the seventh edition of FICCI-Pinkerton ‘India Risk Survey 2018 Report.’ Speaking on the occasion, Madhur Verma, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Delhi underscored the need for a regulatory mechanism to facilitate access of information for detection of crimes perpetrated through the misuse of social media. Mr. Verma said, “Businesses today, especially those engaged in international operations, have to contend with cybercrimes relating to transfer of money through fake e-mails, and this throws up a huge challenge for the enforcement agencies in detecting frauds.” He added that the Delhi Police had created a separate cell for dealing with cybercrimes and was trying to create awareness on the nature and the enormity of crimes, especially those channelized through the social media, by reaching out to schools and the community at large. Cmde Sujeet Samaddar, Senior Consultant (Industry), NITI Aayog categorised the new age risks as business, economic, legal and compliance, and technology risks. He underlined the need for predictability, credibility and stability of the legal and compliance regimes in order to make businesses viable and sustainable. The biggest risk to business is to take the business-as-usual approach rather than a transformational and disruptive one. “The new digital environment and the multiplication of technological options have raised challenges and risks for which businesses should prepare themselves,” said Rahul Chaudhry, Chair, FICCI Homeland Security Committee. Rohit Karnatak, Managing Director India, APAC & EMEA – Global Screening, Pinkerton said, “In today’s time, policy makers and business leaders can truly fulfil their role by timely anticipating risks. Pinkerton utilises a data driven comprehensive approach to corporate risk management, aiming to use tools like artificial intelligence to anticipate risks, their probability and their potential impact to businesses.” According to Venkat Ramana, CoFounder & Director, Valuepitch E Technologies, “The crime rate in India can be lowered with the help of technology and training. Discovering previous antecedents along with real time situation monitoring without invading privacy is the challenge that needs to be addressed.”

The Door is Open

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaOctober 3, 2018November 14, 2024015 mins

In technology, the industry leaders of today are rarely the leaders of tomorrow. Technology innovations are being introduced to the market at an increasingly accelerated pace and the established multi-national companies that have long enjoyed strong market shares and growth rates are being challenged by hundreds of startups. This trend is ubiquitous in nearly every industry and vertical market, and continues to accelerate year after year. In the physical security industry, this technological disruption drastically transformed the largest sector of the industry in under 10 years and became the largest revenue in less than 15 years. The video surveillance market was unabashedly transformed with the introduction of the first mass market camera in 1999 by Axis Communications which started a groundswell of change that moved giants. Multi-national, wellfunded and established industry giants such as GE, Bosch, Panasonic, Sony, Pelco and Honeywell were upended by Axis, Samsung, Geovision, Milestone, Genetec, Exacq, and myriad others. Technical advancement The technological advancements of IP technologies were too rapid for most of the established companies to react to and they were confronted with ‘The Innovators Dilemma,’ a book and idea introduced by Clayton Christensen, a Harvard professor and businessman. These legacy corporations became classic examples of Christensen’s ideas about leadership. These established industry giants did everything ‘right’ and yet they lost their position at the top, and in some cases left the industry entirely. As this rate of disruption continues and accelerates, we can be assured today’s industry leaders will be usurped by new innovative businesses with unseen ideas in years to come. If we look across the physical security industry it does not take a Ph.D. to see that the next business sector that will be transformed is the access control industry. From a 10,000 foot view, the access control industry seems to have all of the right ingredients, making it extremely ripe for a monumental shift. The access control industry is dominated by large multi-national, multi-billion dollar manufacturers with recognizable brands such as Siemens, Honeywell, Johnson Controls, ASSA ABLOY, Dormakaba, Bosch, Allegion, and G4S. The products from these manufacturers are most often proprietary in creation and installation, and their markets are often artificially protected with geographical or vertical market protectionism for installers. The installation of the products are very costly and the technology is both antiquated and cumbersome. The functionality of the software and hardware products are generations behind other technology that is generally available to commercial consumers. There are technologies present in other industries that have the ability to transform the access control industry. Combine all of these factors, an industry with a CAGR of nearly nine percent, and a market opportunity that is projected to be over $10 billion in 2022, and one does not need to be Nostradamus to see that the industry will dramatically change. Blending advancements together The ingredients are all there for several technological advancements to transform the industry, and for new and different players to emerge as the leaders of tomorrow. Perhaps some of these companies and technologies are already present. If you have had the opportunity to stroll down one of the major trade shows in Las Vegas, London, or Dubai you have seen hundreds of companies offering their ideas to the market and most being awarded validation with some marquee customer story or award. There are newer hardware innovations creating reductions in labor costs, easy to use software solutions, and opportunities for increased margins for installers and manufacturers. There are also some prominent technological trends that have become main stream – access control as a service (ACaaS), wireless locksets, and mobile credentials – which are being promulgated by dozens of competing companies. Each of these trends offer a piece of the solution that advances the industry and provides the technology that commercial consumers are demanding. The wireless locksets reduce installation costs by over a thousand dollars a door, while the cloud-based access control eliminates the need for costly physical server installations and enable easy upgrades while solving many cybersecurity concerns. The mobile credentials enable easier administration and security of personnel in a facility while reducing costs. Interestingly, there is not a single company offering all of these technologies under one comprehensive package that could seismically shift the industry and present the comprehensive solution for the end user. Will there be an existing global player that will present this singular solution that will cause this move over the next 10 years, or will it take a giant from another industry such as Google, Amazon, Alibaba, Apple or Intel? Each of these corporations have been inching towards the security industry with their own offerings, and in some cases have video solutions that they see are strong for their brand and revenues. In addition, they could gain further insight and greatly monetize the data of a combined video, access control and perimeter protection solution. Existing global players such as ASSA ABLOY with its acquisition of Mercury Security and Allegion with its recent acquisition of ISONAS seem to be constructing the solution that could be disruptive; however, time will tell how much influence the combination of open architecture hardware, wireless locks, and in Allegion’s situation, cloud-based software will be rapidly adopted. Looking at the cost To further understand the opportunity, I would encourage you to try and describe a standard access control installation to a friend in technology outside of the security industry. I would recommend starting with the physical infrastructure required by most systems. Describe how they will need to dedicate physical space inside of the building to install a large circuit board inside a large metal box to a battery and a power supply that will need to be connected to a dedicated power circuit installed by an electrician. From that panel, they will need to buy expensive low voltage wiring that will connect to a reader and all of their door hardware connections. What is the price tag for this portion of the installation? Please allot the industry average of $2,300 per door. For…
