52 Arrests in Operation Across 28 Countries Targeting Trafficking Incultural Goods

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaApril 5, 2022November 14, 202407 mins

A global operation targeting illicit trafficking in cultural goods has led to 52 arrests and the seizure of 9,408 cultural artefacts across the world. These priceless items include archaeological objects, furniture, coins, paintings, musical instruments and statuettes. Operation Pandora VI, the operational phase of which ran from 1 June to 30 September 2021, saw law enforcement authorities in 28 countries carry out checks and controls in airports and at border crossing points, as well as in auction houses, museums and private homes. Special focus was placed on the monitoring of online markets. To that end, a cyber patrol week was organized by the National Police Force of the Netherlands (Politie) to identify suspicious sales online. Over 170 investigations are still ongoing, as a result of which more seizures and arrests are anticipated as investigators around the globe continue their pursuit of those spoiling and destroying cultural heritage. Led by Spain (Guardia Civil), Pandora VI was coordinated at the international level by Europol, INTERPOL and the World Customs Organization (WCO). Operational Coordination Units working 24/7 were established by Europol on one side, and the WCO and INTERPOL on the other, to support the exchange of information as well as to disseminate alerts, warnings and perform cross-checks in different international and national databases. Operational highlights French Customs (Douane) seized 4,231 archaeological objects which included approximately 3,000 coins, as well as bells, buckles, rings and pieces of pottery which were looted from archaeological sites by a single individual using a metal detector. In a separate case, French Customs also seized three ancient statuettes dating back to the La Tolita – Tumaco pre-Columbian culture. The Spanish National Police (Policía Nacional) recovered a treasure consisting of 91 gold coins from the Roman Empire worth an estimated half a million euros on the black market. The investigation began after these coins were detected in a well-known auction house in Madrid. The investigators later identified the Spanish archaeological site from which these coins were looted. Officers from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) seized a shipment containing 13 pieces of ancient Mexican artefacts from the Post-Classic to the Aztec era, including one skull and 12 adzes (chopping tools). A processional cross dating from the 13th century was recovered by Romanian Police (Politia Românã) and returned to the Evangelical Church Museum of Cisnadie, from where it was stolen in 2016. The object had been recorded in INTERPOL’s Stolen Works of Art Database and was identified via INTERPOL’s ID-Art mobile app. Italy’s Carabinieri Corps (Arma dei Carabinieri) seized 79 archaeological goods of different types and age in the Mediterranean region. These goods were lacking documentation certifying their lawful origin or import into the national territory. The Art and Antiques Crime Unit (National Police Force of the Netherlands) recovered two Kees Verweij paintings which had been reported as stolen, following checks of an online sales catalogue involving an Amsterdam auction house. Officers from the Hellenic Police recovered a marble column dating back from the Roman period, alongside 13 ancient coins and 3 pottery vessels dating back from the Hellenistic period. Metal detectors remain a hot commodity amongst looters, with seven European law enforcement authorities reporting the seizure of 90 metal detectors destined for illicit use at archaeological sites. International coordination Europol, as co-leader of this action, played a key role in implementing the entire operation by facilitating information exchange and providing analytical and operational support. The WCO provided its CENcomm secure communication channel and facilitated intelligence exchange among different agencies. INTERPOL, through its I-24/ 7 secure communication system, connected countries in the Balkans and European Union participating in the exchange of information, supporting the entire operation with a dedicated expert to double check searches against INTERPOL’s Stolen Works of Art Database in order to locate and identify items that had been stolen and items that were still missing. Operation Pandora, which was first launched in 2016, is an annual law enforcement operation. To date, it has netted 407 arrests and resulted in the recovery of 147,050 cultural goods. Pandora VI participants INTERPOL Member countries comprise Albania, Austria, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Portugal, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States. Third party: Kosovo.

Digital India 2022 Major Technology Trends for Indian IT Industry

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaApril 5, 2022November 14, 2024011 mins

Vikas Bhonsle, CEO, Crayon Software Experts India Every company is already an IT company today. Corporates or SMEs, every workplace today is accessing digital tools and solutions most organically. We are adapting to futuristic technologies faster than ever, thanks to the disruptive year of 2020. And India is one of the fastest-growing IT markets in this race, after the US and China. The IT industry here has witnessed growth in the last two decades, and soon, it is expected to touch the $100 billion mark. The Government of India has also been pushing for rapid digitization, leading to increasing investments in the IT sector. In the recent Union Budget of 2022-23, the Government of India has made a few announcements which will lead to some major developments in India on the digitization front. Apart from direct digitization in banking, higher education, and health sector, the country will soon have its own Digital Currency issued by the Reserve Bank of India, the country’s apex bank. Also, the government has announced that datacentres will be given infrastructure status in the country allowing it to play a key role in enabling a digital economy. Here are some of the major technological trends that will continue to transform the Indian IT industry in the present year are – the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, blockchain technologies, cloud adoption, and data security & cyber protection. Internet of Things (IoT) The Internet of Things is a network of devices, vehicles, home appliances, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and exchange data. In 2022, the IoT will be firmly entrenched in people’s everyday lives. The number of devices connected to the IoT will triple by 2022, reaching 25 billion. Most cars and homes will be connected to the internet by 2022. Both individuals and companies will benefit from this connectivity. IoT makes the autonomous collection of big data possible, which helps businesses get insights into customer behaviours and product performance. IoT also facilitates the continuous optimization and automation of business processes and even helps to improve employee engagement and performance. Artificial Intelligence (AI) AI has been one of the most buzzing technologies in recent years. This has led to significant advances in many areas such as speech recognition, natural language processing, robotics, machine learning and computer vision. According to Gartner, AI and machine learning (ML) will be used in over 80% of IoT activities in enterprises by 2022. Hyper Automation is one of the major outcomes of AI, and this will be one of the driving forces behind digital transformation in 2022. Hyper-automation ensures streamlining of processes to increase efficiency, accuracy, and productivity. In 2022 we will see AI and ML increasingly active, infusing more automation and taking over most mundane tasks, freeing us to focus on activities that shall require more human touch and intervention. With AI and humans working together, the workforce is becoming an augmented one. AI will not replace humans but will be working along to add efficiency to our work. Blockchain Technologies Blockchain is a technology that enables digital information to be distributed but not copied. It is a vast and globally distributed database, which can be applied to anything from payments and banking to complex computer programs. A report by trade association IDC predicts that worldwide spending on blockchain technologies will reach $9.7 billion in 2022. Blockchain is a highly disruptive force for enterprise software. One of the most intriguing applications of blockchain technology is supply chain tracking, which gives the ability to track products from the time they are created to when they are stored in warehouses and finally sold to customers. Blockchain is also used to reduce fraud in digital contracts and create faster data retrieval for distributed ledgers. The technology is continuously developed, with some of its latest applications being Smart Contracts and crypto-currencies. In the future, blockchain technology will be used to manage personal health records, deliver payments, and even Smart buildings. Cloud Adoption Cloud computing has become an increasingly popular way to store and manage data, which means more sensitive information is on the cloud than ever before. Cloud computing is often looked at as a more secure alternative to on-premise solutions. It is also a better choice for most businesses, as it reduces hardware and maintenance costs by paying for resources only when needed. By moving some of the infrastructures to the cloud, companies can also significantly improve their security posture. Also, companies using single cloud resources earlier are now exploring multicloud options. With single cloud earlier, companies were often suffering in vendor-lock ins, and it was also risky and costly to store all data in a single server. Multicloud is a better option when it comes to disaster recovery. Instead of establishing a traditional on-premise disaster recovery capability, cloud resources can be used as and when required. As each provider will be coming up with their unique selling propositions, be it in AI, machine learning, or analytics, a multicloud strategy will give organisations the advantage of each platform’s competitive edge. Data Security and Cyber Protection Data security and data protection will remain areas of highest concern in 2022. Businesses in the last two years were riddled by constant ransomware attack threats, data breaches and major IT outages, which became even bigger nuisance than supply chain disruptions, or the COVID-19 pandemic, all of which have heavily impacted businesses in the past year. 2022 will still be a difficult year, as there is still a large talent pool to fill up for efficient cybersecurity management. Also, it is estimated that cyberattacks will be relentless in attacking small and medium scale businesses. End-to-end encryption is already becoming mainstream along with zero-trust policies when it comes to network security, and data access control. However, things will continue to look grim for the coming years as ransomware attacks are gearing up menacingly. As per research agency, Cybersecurity Ventures, the frequency of ransomware attacks on a consumer or…

How to Provide Dynamic Engagement in Distance Learning

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaApril 3, 2022November 14, 202409 mins

Digital learning has emerged in a gigantic way in the past few years, and the pandemic situation has further propelled its growth. The education providers who had adopted online learning methods during lockdown are leveraging it in their future plans. In a recent EU report polling educators on this topic, it was identified that as many as more than 96% plan to continue with distance learning technology after the pandemic1 . The cost and flexibility benefits are evident – with teachers being able to take lectures for different classrooms in different parts of the world from a single location, and even students studying from the confines of their homes. This is probably why the topic of using technology to enhance learning, and more importantly, access to learning is being encouraged around Europe. Follow the teacher But what about engagement? There have been a number of studies finding that ‘educator’ presence is crucial in online lessons in order to engage students. They need to be seen, react to questions and, in general, evoke the feeling that they are actively a part of the learning process. Traditional methods of distance learning fall down a bit here. Most platforms tend to have a static view – even if you can see the teacher, they feel disconnected. There may be limitations in what teachers can do. The use of smart cameras can really make a difference here. A camera trained on the teacher as they move around the classroom can really help to make students, especially children, to feel part of the experience. For example, following them as they approach the whiteboard and seeing teacher explain something makes a student feel more like they are in the room too. This can be cleverly managed to be more dynamic, with close-ups of presentations, split screens and ‘live’ diagrams to provide interactive, and more interesting, viewing. Interactive screens can also play a part – with their ability to ‘stream’ whiteboard activity live, and store it for future use. In fact, a teacher can have a wide range of resources to build an engaging, memorable and effective lesson – from videos and images to traditional whiteboard explanations and diagrams. They can also respond to questions from students in real time – just as they would in a traditional classroom lesson. Include remote students Another important part of the engagement is accessibility. You could have the best, most engaging lesson on the planet, but if students cannot see it, it’s not going to help them! A smart distance learning solution using cameras can give educators flexibility. They can be teaching a class face-to-face, a remote classroom and students online – all at the same time. Students who cannot get to the main classroom, for example, because they are in a partner school in another city, or they are at home nursing a broken leg, do not need to miss out on education. In fact, they can be in exactly the same class. Some could even be accessing the lesson through a mobile, or tablet, further extending the reach of education. Today’s web cameras like the ones from Hikvision also improve learning experience with vivid and high quality images. Make materials available There are other benefits too of a centralized digital distance learning solution. The classes, including explanations and questions, can be saved to be accessible to students in the future, for recap or clarification. The resources used by the teachers – like videos, diagrams, and articles can also be stored for future reference. Enter Hikvision Hikvision’s Distance Learning Solution can provide all these benefits, tailored to the needs of the education provider. A Teacher PTZ camera follows the teacher (if they have given consent) as they move around the classroom. The teacher camera is 4K, for HD images and provides a close-up view of the teacher. In fact, this alone can really improve engagement, and has been a popular option for educators through the pandemic. Smart interactive screens can also be used to enhance the interactivity of the lesson, and provide the teacher with another way to explain and demonstrate. An Education Sharing Server brings all of these devices together, helping to manage lessons, and synchronizing the multimedia assets used. The server can also store the lessons and assets for students to access at a later date, through whichever sharing method they want. The solution is also fully-compatible with a wide range of 3rd Party software enhancements, further supporting the flexibility of the bespoke solution built to cater for the needs of the education provider. A specially-designed education version of Hikvision’s HikCentral software will also soon be available to help coordinate and disseminate lessons and assets. With so many aspects of our lives becoming digitized and more disparate, it is important to retain the engagement element in education. With the help of smart cameras, screens and management tools, engagement can advance hand-inhand with accessibility to create a new benchmark for learning. “Practically all those respondents already using distance online learning before the crisis plan to continue doing so after the crisis (96.2% in the sample ‘All countries’ and 100% in the sample ‘Without RO’).” EU Digital Education Action Plan 2021-2027.

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaApril 3, 2022November 14, 2024011 mins

The Customer Located in the extreme eastern part of India, the second largest city of Nagaland boasts a resident population of almost 100,000 and spans 20 square kilometres. It is at an elevation of 1444 metres with majorly mountainous terrain. The city is constantly expanding, with more and more people migrating to this city for better work opportunities and standard of living. Moreover, it is a popular tourist destination of Nagaland with museums, cathedral churches, botanical gardens to name a few. Therefore, tourism also plays an important role in the city’s economy. Well-known as ‘hill town in the middle of Naga Hills,’ the city was selected to be part of Smart Cities Mission, an innovative initiative by the Government of India to build thriving cities and improve the quality of life of citizens. The city was amongst the only two North East cities – along with Agartala – to have qualified in the top 66 Cities selected for the second stage of the project. The Challenge With city’s expansion and modernization, there was an imperative need to put in place robust security measures. The city felt the need for a surveillance solution to empower decision-makers and enforce law and order more effectively. Along with security, in the first phase of the project, the city stakeholders also wanted to ensure proper traffic management without causing any disruption to the day-today activities of the citizens. Moreover, the city is becoming a hot spot for tourists and the need for effective monitoring of the key locations, prevent crime and ensure citizen and tourist well-being became very important. The Solution An extensive survey of the city was carried out to find out the key security issues being faced by city administration and identify sensitive places that need surveillance attention. In its mission to become a smart city, the officials were looking for an intelligent surveillance solution that is intuitive, future-ready and scalable. It was especially critical to choose a solution that could keep up with the city’s expansion and growth. The administration was keen to have an open platform that would help them add more capabilities and applications over time. With these goals in mind, Videonetics designed a bespoke and modular AI powered unified solution based on its Intelligent VMS and Video Analytics for the city. Automating surveillance of strategic locations After a thorough analysis, the city decided to deploy 100+ cameras, including PTZ and box cameras, at 90 strategically identified locations, which are being managed by state-of-the-art Videonetics Intelligent VMS. These cameras have been placed at planned and sensitive areas such as important traffic junctions, city roads, outside government offices, exit and entrance of the city, common grounds, near crowded marketplaces, helipad, and more. Videonetics Intelligent VMS allows administration to ensure comprehensive round-the-clock monitoring of the city infrastructure and proactively detect and address any developing problem. The smart and user-friendly navigation of Intelligent VMS enables city operators to easily monitor and analyse live and recorded videos simultaneously in the same interface. This feature is particularly helpful while supporting the law enforcement agencies quickly leading to rapid resolution of the problem. With its multi-layer sitemap interface, operators can quickly select cameras from the pool, helps in keeping bird eye view of camera distribution across the city. Accelerating the response time with AI powered Video Analytics By deploying Videonetics AI enabled video analytics as part of the solution, the decision makers receive alert on live video feeds, that has drastically reduced the amount of time it takes to understand the potential level of threat and enhanced monitoring of restricted-access areas. Therefore, they selected key analytics for some of the sensitive places, in the first phase of project. Loitering detection, crowd formation detection and intrusion detection are installed at local markets, roads, government premises and so on. When an alert is triggered, the operators can quickly assess the threat level, monitor it closely and react accordingly. During the survey, some of the traffic junctions were identified where Videonetics deployed wrong way parking as part of unified solution. The wrong way parking was required to detect vehicles if it moves in the wrong direction on a road and send alert to authorities for further action. Videonetics integrated framework for Intelligent VMS and video analytics is designed to be investigation-friendly allowing the city authorities to ensure quick and improved resolution of incidents. Effective traffic management The city has been witnessing a dramatic increase in the number of vehicles, thus making it imperative for the authorities to put in place an effective traffic management system. With high-functioning cameras deployed at strategic junctions, city roads and highways, officials can view real-time traffic information via Videonetics unified software interface. Whether it is traffic jams, wrong-way parking or accidents, the solution is helping them monitor and detect issues in real-time and respond to changing traffic conditions effectively. Centralized view of the city With Videonetics unified solution, city officials can efficiently keep 24×7 watchful eye on the city, from the Integrated Command & Control Center. Hence, empowering them to stay abreast of every movement/ activity, facilitating law & order, traffic management, municipal operations and providing wealth of data intelligence under one roof.
