NICE 2019 Global Digital Evidence Management Benchmark Study

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaJanuary 14, 2020November 14, 202404 mins

Survey of FBINAA members and other police executives confirmed the critical need for digital evidence management transformation As digital evidence continues to grow, the challenges of collecting, analyzing and sharing it only get more complex. NICE has published its Digital Evidence Management Benchmark Study which illuminates the top concerns of managing digital evidence. The study highlights the results of an extensive survey of FBI National Academy Associates, Inc. (FBINAA) members and other police executives. “With ever-expanding digital evidence comes the need for true digital transformation,” said Chris Wooten, Executive Vice President, NICE, “Today, evidence is increasingly digital, but investigative processes around collecting, analyzing and sharing evidence have not adapted to the digital age. This is a major concern for forces worldwide. That’s why we undertook this survey of FBINAA members and other police executives.” The NICE Digital Evidence Management Benchmark Study results were aligned with another digital evidence management benchmark study that NICE conducted with UK-based CoPaCC in 2018 titled Digital Evidence Management: User Perspectives. Among the key results of the more recent NICE Benchmark Study conducted in cooperation with the FBINAA: ● 66% of respondents acknowledged ‘driving around to collect CCTV video from homes and businesses’ and ‘copying and burning CDs and DVDs’ as the most time-consuming aspects of the criminal investigation process. ● 52% ranked manual handling of evidence on DVDs, CDs, thumb drives and paper case files among their greatest evidence management challenges. Challenges with collecting and preparing CCTV video came in a close second. ● All survey respondents reported having to log into and work in a large number of data silos and systems which impacts the speed and accuracy of investigations. ● 33% were concerned that when using the current investigative processes they could miss a crucial piece of digital evidence that should have been shared as part of case disclosure. ● 62% said they were actively looking for a solution to their digital evidence management challenges and nearly a quarter had already allocated resources and funding to acquire new digital evidence management technology. “The NICE Digital Evidence Management Benchmark Study reveals there is substantial consensus among departments, not only around the challenges of managing digital evidence but more importantly around the need to develop effective strategies to improve investigative workflows,” added Wooten, “As a one-stop solution for automating manual processes around the collection, management, analysis and sharing of all types of digital evidence, our NICE Investigate solution addresses the law enforcement pain points uncovered in this research by helping agencies accelerate their digital transformation.”

BrainChip & TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES Present Jointly a Demonstration Featuring Akida Neuromorphic Technology Platform (NeurIPS 2019)

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaJanuary 14, 2020November 14, 202404 mins

BrainChip Holdings Ltd., a leading provider of ultra-low power, high performance edge AI technology, has been accepted to present a demonstration featuring its Akida™ Neuromorphic System-on-Chip Technology, recognizing and classifying hand gestures from the audience at the 33rd Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS), at the Vancouver Convention Center in Vancouver, Canada. The paper titled ‘Human Gesture Recognition using Spiking Input on Akida Neuromorphic Platform’ co-authored by Sounak Dey, Arijit Mukherjee from TCS Research at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Gilles Bézard, Douglas McLelland from BrainChip will be presented. The demonstration will involve capturing a few hand gestures and hand positions from the audience using a dynamic vision sensor camera and performing live learning and classification using the Akida neuromorphic platform. This will showcase the fast and lightweight unsupervised live learning capability of the spiking neural network (SNN) and the Akida neuromorphic chip, which takes much less data than a traditional deep neural network (DNN) counterpart, consuming much less power during training. Akida is available as a licensable IP technology that can be integrated into ASIC devices and will be available as an integrated SoC, both suitable for applications such as surveillance, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), autonomous vehicles (AV), vision guided robotics, drones, augmented and virtual reality (AR/ VR), acoustic analysis, and Industrial Internet-of-Things (IoT). Akida performs neural processing and memory accesses on the edge, which vastly reduces the computing resources required of the system host CPU. This unprecedented efficiency not only delivers faster results, it consumes only a tiny fraction of the power resources of traditional AI processing. Functions like training, learning, and inferencing are orders of magnitude more efficient with Akida. “While the recognition of a simple hand gesture might at first seem simple, it is in fact quite a revolutionary advance in the state of today’s human and robot interactive environments,” said Roger Levinson, COO of BrainChip, “We are pleased to have the opportunity to showcase the extent of this revolutionary advance at NeurIPS and are eager to show how an Akida-based platform can be utilized to ingest imagery, train the system to recognize what it has seen and learn in a way that is vastly more efficient and accurate than what other solutions have been able to achieve thus far.” NeurIPS is held to foster the exchange of research on neural information processing systems in their biological, technological, mathematical, and theoretical aspects. The core focus is peer-reviewed novel research which is presented and discussed in the general session, along with invited talks by leaders in their field.

Crime Prevention & the Role of Private Security

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaJanuary 11, 2020November 14, 202407 mins

Anil Puri, CMD, APS Group A thought leader and an action catalyzer rolled into one – Anil Puri is a rare combination of a visionary, and one who has mastered the art of strategic and tactical thinking to the core. He has been using this combination to seed new ideas and to lead them to their implementation on ground. This has been a consistent feature of his career. Here he examines the concept of crime prevention and the expanding role of private security companies. The trends abroad The new landscape of blended roles – law enforcement agencies teaming up with the private security companies i.e., enabling public-private partnerships to serve the public – may be new to the Indian subcontinent but it has been experimented successfully by quite a few nations like United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Australia, Nigeria and South Africa. Despite the fact that police and private security operate on quite different principles of private and public interests, there does seem to be, or rather there is an obvious scope for their enhanced relationships that provide wide benefits to diverse stakeholders, provided a well-defined set of guiding principles are in place for ensuring accountability and optimal outcomes in crime prevention partnerships. These partnerships may cover a range of specialties including cyber security, financial criminal investigation and private protection. Law enforcement agencies leverage the expertise and resources of private security firms to better investigate and solve complex cases. Private firms aren’t restricted by a public budget and can invest in the latest technologies. Additionally, law enforcement officers often moonlight with security companies and/ or transition into the careers in private security as they have a better understanding of the system and to facilitate working of law enforcement agencies to better serve the people. Bipolarity of the roles The extent to which the private security industry has a role in proactive policing is an issue. At present the private security industry performs reactive functions in relation to crime; these may include armed response, transporting cash and conducting investigations. Proactive policing is more concerned with conducting crime analyses, working together with the community to understand crime concerns, and strategizing to address safety and security related issues and targeting of criminal and disorderly behavior. In addition to guarding, security companies also provide armed response or alarm response, by monitoring alarms and dispatching security personnel (Quick Reaction Team – QRT) when the alarm is triggered. Although the guarding industry employs the bulk of security personnel, more clients are serviced through the armed response component of the security industry. Private security companies also provide armed escort services whereby they offer escorts to transport cash, assets and confidential documents. Some security companies also provide services during sporting or entertainment events, conduct investigations and security training, and become involved in various aspects relating to the provision and installation of monitoring equipment and security devices. One of the aims is for the police, together with the private security industry, to create an environment in which the security expectations of the public where huge resources are expended are actually met. Indian context The ‘law enforcement and private security’ share a number of common goals including crime prevention, the protection of people and property, and identification of criminals. The growing use of these partnerships reflects some recognized advantages. The deployment of security guards for traffic control, safeguarding metros and rails, escorting buses, and securing hospitals, government buildings, factories, shopping malls, and schools etc., aims mainly to offset the skewed police-public ratio. The PSIs are performing a significant and dominating role in the cash-in-transit business. However, the utilization of the skill-set and resources of the private investigative agencies that are the members of the Association of Private Detective & Investigators (APDI) are not being fully harnessed. Further, the reach of PSIs to be used as an information/ intelligence gathering resource can be a game-changer, if exploited properly. Conclusion Conclusively, I feel that the partnership between the police and the private security industry once integrated can pay huge dividends in leveraging the potential and expertise of both in the larger canvas of internal security and crime prevention. The need of the hour is to ensure restructuring, co-ordination, and operational and partnership mechanisms for an effective collaboration, in compliance with the public safety policing concepts of the ‘operation co-operation’ in regards to civility, transparency and cordial relativity between security stakeholders and not just the template theory.
