Protect Education from Cyberthreats

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaMay 4, 2018November 14, 202409 mins

Across the world, the year 2016 turned out to be quite eventful for cybersecurity with multiple, major threats and breaches reported. It is the time to prevent cyber-threats lurking around India’s educational institutions. Broadly speaking, we understand cybersecurity as the preventive techniques used to protect the integrity of networks, programs and data from attack, damage, or unauthorised access. Over the years, cybersecurity has become a massive undertaking with the growing need to protect information and systems from major cyberthreats such as cyberterrorism, cyberwarfare and cyberespionage. Furthermore, the impact of these threats on a personal level is getting more significant as we immerse ourselves in a world that depends on all things digital. The awarenessadoption gap Among organisations in general, there has been greater awareness about the implications of cyberthreats. However, the education sector has somewhat lagged behind industry peers in the APAC region. While studies have not concluded the presence of a direct correlation between awareness and spending, only 66 percent of educational institutions (compared to 79 percent of financial institutions, for example) spent between 5% and 15% of their IT budgets on cybersecurity. Yet, as recent attacks on institutions of higher learning indicate, data on research, enrolment and student records that sit within school campuses can be of great value. As many as 76 percent of organisations in Asia-Pacific set aside at least 5 percent of their IT budgets towards cybersecurity this year, and about twothirds of them claim an increase in budget allocation from last year. Yet the education sector’s adoption levels, at 66 percent, have remained below average. Despite the less-than-adequate adoption levels, a whopping majority of the education sector reports a feeling of being well-protected. Need to adopt quickly Cybersecurity solutions, too, have become more sophisticated – with the most advanced systems integrating automation to optimise prevention. However, the adoption of these measures leaves much to be desired, and this is particularly true for the education sector. In general, adoption is predictably lower in industries and institutions that are less technologically savvy. While 73 percent of the education sector in the APAC region suffers from outmoded infrastructure, as much as 72 percent of the schools surveyed are confronted with the practice of employees downloading unauthorised documents and software. Antivirus and firewalls are no longer adequate by the new standards, yet two out of three companies rely on those methods alone. Meanwhile, two-factor authentication, anti-ransomware, and biometrics have low patronage. In spite of all the low (45 percent) adoption of sophisticated countermeasures, the confidence level among the educational institutions is as high as 86 percent. That lack of threat perception poses the kind of vulnerability that can be disastrous. Additionally, the ageing internet infrastructure and internal threats constitute the top reasons why the education sector in Asia-Pacific is still vulnerable to cyberattacks. Budget allocation to more sophisticated cybersecurity is a prominent barrier in its adoption – only 42 percent of educational institutions are seen to have adequate allocations. As the education sector burgeons in India, it is exposed to internal and external threats, leaving schools, colleges and research institutions vulnerable. Experimenting young minds who may take cyber risks at the cost of potential threats – unauthorized downloads are a critical example – pose a special threat. The education sector in India is digitizing itself, with technology driven education coming up as a separate high growth industry as well. Education technology relies on broadband and optic fibre, and these compound the already existing challenge of relative naiveté among both institutions and users. Inefficiency or insufficiency of cybersecurity measures put more at stake. The cost of a breach is substantial – arguably, higher than the risks many companies seem to take by not investing enough on cybersecurity. In India, the figure is as high as Rs.25,000 crores and is expected to rise exponentially over the next decade. Towards a strong policy The National Cyber Security Policy 2013 is a solid document of vision for the Indian environment. It is especially important in an environment where products and solutions for the education sector are available across international borders, transcending laws. In protecting youngsters from cyber ‘exposure,’ the document could also consider some cyberthreats as threats to national security. Some of these gaps are addressed in the National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom) and Data Security Council of India (DSCI) launched by the Growing Cybersecurity Industry, Roadmap for India report of December 2016. In it, Nasscom identifies the lacuna in India’s cybersecurity policy and recommends 16 progressive policy measures, including tax breaks and cluster-funded cybersecurity ventures. Meanwhile, the education sector finds itself in a contradiction of sorts. On one hand, its rapid growth in India parallels the growth of IT systems to support it. On the other, the nascence of its growth has placed the sector in an especially vulnerable zone. As is the case throughout the Asian region, the Indian education sector is behind its world counterparts in grasping advanced cybersecurity systems that are available at its disposal. Despite its problems, this is a sector that does not figure on top of policy priority, in preference to finance and IT. As one of the fastest-growing migrants towards technology, and given the massive potential of the emerging technologybased education practices such as massive open online courses (MOOC), the Indian education sector must educate itself on cybersecurity quickly.

White Paper

Survey Highlights Needs for Intelligent Video Surveillance Solutions

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaMay 4, 2018November 14, 2024113 mins

Pelco by Schneider Electric recently surveyed 489 end-users within the surveillance industry about their surveillance needs and where they see the industry headed. The survey analyzed how end-users view their current surveillance systems and the expectations they have for emerging technologies. Key findings The study revealed significant and valuable insights into the current state of the video surveillance market, and how users rate their existing systems and market offerings in terms of meeting their business needs. Here are five of the top findings of the study: One-third of end-users believe that integration between disparate systems is their most significant security challenge today. Forty-four percent of end-users believe their current surveillance technology isn’t sufficient for 2020. One in every three end-users thinks artificial intelligence will make the most significant impact on the surveillance industry by 2020. Sixty-four percent of end-users plan to prioritize predictive analytics in the next few years. Over half of those surveyed say they use their surveillance system to meet current business challenges, but haven’t seen it reach its full potential. Many surveillance systems aren’t meeting current needs While parts of the security market may develop over a more extended period, the technology of video surveillance has been rapidly changing for at least the last ten years and shows no indication of slowing down. These technical advances mean that new capabilities are regularly introduced into the market to improve overall system performance and/or to provide specific solutions to current surveillance challenges. For this discussion, we will consider systems that have been installed within the last five years using the avaliable technology at the time of installation to be ‘current,’ while knowing that even within the most recent two years many new features and functionalities have become available. Systems installed more than five years ago may continue to function and meet some business purposes, but due to this rapid rate of enhancements, they can no longer be considered current. Half of surveillance systems are out of date By this measure, the survey reveals that half (49%) of existing surveillance system installations are functionally out of date because they were installed more than five years ago. A significant portion of these (19% of the total) were installed more than ten years ago – a lifetime in terms of available camera technology. The quick pace of technology systems is evident in security managers concerns. Of the respondents, 33% reported that their biggest technology challenge is their equipment becoming outdated. The fraction was higher for users with older systems, installed 10 or more years ago, at 44%. The next biggest technology challenge was integrating surveillance cameras with the rest of the security systems, reported by 29% of respondents (slightly higher for respondents with newer systems – 33%). Other technical challenges lagged behind these two. Integration remains a broad challenge Respondents gave a clear message when they were asked to identify their biggest security challenge – the top answer at 34% was ‘integration between disparate systems,’ and this concern was consistent across all end-user categories. This answer is interesting because the concept of integrating security systems is somewhat new. In the past, an organization’s video surveillance system stood apart from the access control system, parking lot gates, time and attendance system, and others. As these systems have undergone technology improvements, and the data and intelligence of these systems become more available for integration using internal networks as well as cloud-based services, the potential for integration has emerged and increased. The high recognition of this potential and its characterization as a challenge indicates a high market readiness for improved integration techniques, products and services. Surveillance trends for 2020 While it is always a challenge to predict the future, budget cycles and organizational planning do encourage security managers to think about how to prepare for the future. Part of that process is evaluating current and emerging technologies to determine which are most likely to address future challenges. Given the high change rate of technology mentioned earlier, it is not surprising that more than two-thirds of the study respondents (68%) are not convinced that their current security technology will be sufficient to address their needs in 2020, which is barely two years away. Users want predictive analytics One thing the end-user respondents are sure about the future is that predictive analytics will be a priority. A full 64% reported they would be prioritizing these technologies going forward, and 35% said it would be a high priority. During the last year, panoramic cameras and predictive analytics were the top two security trend topics that caught the attention of end-user respondents – with 50% and 38% respectively. Other topics caught the attention of 29% or fewer respondents. IoT and AI moving mainstream Study respondents also think that some emerging technologies that were not explicitly designed for security will nonetheless become relevant to the security market shortly. In particular, 54% of the end-users believe that the Internet of Things, or IoT, will be mainstream surveillance technology by 2020, and one third (33%) say that Artificial Intelligence, or AI, will make the most significant impact on the surveillance industry by 2020. Close behind, 32% say automation will make the most significant impact. Together, these results again indicate a willingness on the part of end-user respondents to accept and incorporate emerging technologies into their security programs, and they are optimistic about the development, testing and deployment timetables. Surveillance: More than security Security end-users have heard and understood stories about companies using video surveillance footage for additional business purposes. For example, it’s known that national retailers use video cameras in their stores not only to combat theft and fraud but also to gauge the effectiveness of marketing programs and in-store product displays. Respondents in this study appear to have incorporated these ideas into their security system expectations, even if the results haven’t come as of yet. Security end-users have heard and understood stories about companies using video surveillance footage for additional business purposes. For example, it’s known that national retailers use…
