Cutting-edge technology, over 350 immersive and experiential education sessions, thousands of innovative security products and services, and countless quality and lead-generating networking opportunities attracted 20,000 registered attendees and 550 exhibitors from more than 113 countries under one roof at the newly rebranded Global Security Exchange (GSX). With more than 15 percent growth in paid registration, ASIS International, one of the world’s largest associations for security management professionals, hosted their 64th annual conference during September 23-27, 2018 in Las Vegas in partnership with InfraGard, ISSA, and the Cyber Security Summit. “ASIS International really took this year’s show up a notch – the quality of the networking alone that happened the very first night of GSX set the stage for some solid leads that brought great follow-up and product demonstration on the show floor,” said Janet Fenner, Chief Marketing Officer, Intelligent Security Systems, “We’ve met end user after end user at this show and have been doing nothing but following up with all of the leads we’ve brought in. Our team will be extremely busy working to secure business for months to come.” GSX delivered on ASIS International’s promise of investing in and rebuilding a stronger and more expansive holistic security conference, bringing proven security best practices and education to the show and fostering much needed collaboration between operational and cyber security professionals. Education sessions featuring chief security officers from Amazon, Snapchat, Facebook, and MillerCoors had standing room only and covered critical topics including soft target protection, developing smart cities, preventing workplace violence, school security best practices, threats to critical infrastructure, and the future of AI and cybersecurity.   “The excitement, innovation and exceptional events this past week are just the beginning,” said Richard E. Chase, CPP, PCI, PSP, 2018 President, ASIS International, “Global Security Exchange, like our industry, will continually evolve. In fact, GSX is not just an event that will reconvene twelve months from now in Chicago. GSX is a brand that will continue to engage ASIS members, attendees and vendor partners as a security community all year long.” The reimagined expo hall upended the traditional trade show experience, featuring immersive learning opportunities on three new X-Learning stages and experiential demos in the D3: Drones, Droids, and Defense learning theater. Scott Smith, Hardware Engineering Program Manager, Fortem Technologies shared, “GSX worked with us to create an exhibit and demo area where we could successfully demonstrate airspace safety, security, and the relevant threats. The consequent discussions, exploration, and debates on the topic have been very advantageous to Fortem Technologies, and we were able to get directly in front of our target buyers. We have found GSX to be tremendously valuable and look forward to continuing our relationship.” Given the massive buying power of the GSX audience and the thousands of innovative products and services highlighted on the exposition floor, exhibitors and attendees engaged in substantive discussions about opportunities to purchase products and services, forge business relationships and establish partnerships. In fact, 86.4 percent of 2018’s GSX attendees are involved in their organization’s direct purchase of security technology, products and/ or services, and 40.5 percent have budgets in excess of $1 million. “In the many years that our company has partnered with ASIS International, this year’s event was by far the best one to date,” said Steve Jones, CEO, Allied Universal, “From the quality of the customer and prospect engagement around our exhibit space to the terrific education our team participated in to the excellent networking receptions, the return on our investment far exceeded our already high expectations. We’re already looking forward to another outstanding event in Chicago next year.” Event feedback has been extremely positive, with the security industry embracing the new show format. Michael S. D’Angelo CPP, CSC, CHPA, Security Consultant, Secure Direction Consulting, LLC noted, “Unlike many other security conferences, GSX brings together industry experts as well as end-users, technology providers and even the clients we serve. It’s great to see so many old colleagues and be introduced to several more. I’m heading back to work with increased knowledge and feeling genuinely at the top of my game.” GSX heads to Chicago next year, where Peter J. O’Neil, FASAE, CAE, Chief Executive Officer, ASIS International promises, “In 2019, attendees will see even more experiential learning on our X stages, expanded partnerships and education programming, and an expo floor that provides an unparalleled experience for attendees and our vendor partners alike.”

The wireless edge of the network has become ubiquitous, and so have been the expectations of a reliable and secure connection. Users have become used to the convenience of connecting wherever and however they want. They tolerate the flaws in a typical Wi-Fi connection – pauses in downloads, occasional drop-outs where we must re-connect, and lengthy waits as we try to join a public Wi-Fi network. For personal browsing, we make a conscious compromise between convenience and reliability because apart from being frustrating at times, no real harm is done. But in a business environment, reliable wireless connectivity can’t be a compromise for critical operations, especially where it can be the difference between life and death. Why multi-channel is not always the best choice Most Wi-Fi networks operate on a multi-channel architecture (aka micro-cell), where each wireless access point (AP) connects to a mobile client using one of several radio channels. To achieve optimal throughput to each client, it’s important to have good signal strength but minimal radio interference by ensuring that the APs are not too close, and the same radio channels do not overlap (called ‘co-channel interference’). However, this can be difficult when there may be physical layout constraints, and there are only a few channels to choose from, and even harder in a multi-tenancy building when your neighbour chooses the same channels as you. To assist with this, tools are used to survey the physical site to plan the channel map for the optimal experience, but these tools can be expensive and time consuming to use effectively. This is how typical Wi-Fi networks are designed, and why they occasionally exhibit reliability glitches. Some years ago, an alternative architecture was proposed that utilised the same radio channel for all APs in the network. In this model, placement of the APs was no longer critical because they all used the same channel, so interference was not an issue. If coverage was poor in one location, then additional APs could be easily deployed without worrying about introducing bandwidth-destroying interference. Although the single-channel architecture solved one of the biggest challenges of Wi-Fi network design, it too had some limitations, the main one being that its total network throughput was usually lower than multi-channel. Since then, multi-channel Wi-Fi has become the predominant architecture and most of the time, it does a great job. However, there are some situations where multi-channel is not the best choice, and alternative solutions can provide a better experience. Applications of this type usually fall into three categories: Dynamic physical environments, like warehouses, where radio coverage is continuously being changed as objects are moved and removed. This makes multi-channel planning almost impossible, so the workaround is to deploy more APs. Unfortunately, this not only increases cost, but it introduces more radio interference, which reduces data throughput. Environments that must have reliable connectivity to mobile devices, like hospitals, where even a momentary loss of data connectivity can have a serious effect. As a wireless client moves, its connection will ‘roam’ to another AP when it perceives a significantly more attractive signal. Unfortunately, this roaming process can sometimes be slow and disruptive as security credentials must be established or re-negotiated. Often this can manifest as an annoying lag on a VoIP call, or random artefacts in video. One solution is to use only wireless clients that support ‘fast-roaming’ protocols, or intelligent bridging devices that handle the roaming on behalf of the client. Both these solutions add complexity and cost. Environments where there are many roaming wireless users, like schools, hospitals, public venues etc. Multichannel struggles to cope in these situations because only one client can talk to an AP at a time. So, having more clients associated with an AP means there is less time for each client to talk, so the effective bandwidth to each client is reduced. Adding more APs doesn’t always help because co-channel interference increases, which also reduces bandwidth. The answer to these challenges is a cost-effective Wi-Fi solution that combines the best features of both architectures – multi-channel’s throughput with single-channel’s easy deployment, and reliable, seamless roaming connectivity. Previously, users had to choose one architecture or another, and where it was desirable to run both multi-channel and singlechannel systems on premises, they had to manage two different networks with different tools. Administration efforts were increased because firmware updates had to be applied twice, and engineers had two different systems to learn and maintain. Today there is a solution that allows the user to select multi-channel, single channel or both, for the optimal Wi-Fi experience. By Scott Penno – Regional Marketing Manager, APAC, Allied Telesis

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 key of the future is digital, and it offers more features than its analog predecessors – impossible to lose or steal, and there is never a need to search for it. That is because it is stored securely and specifically for each user in a smartphone app. “Our Perfectly Keyless app is making conventional vehicle keys a thing of the past. Bosch is taking the car key into the digital realm and making it available anywhere, anytime,” says Harald Kröger, President of the Bosch Automotive Electronics division. With Perfectly Keyless, the smartphone replaces the analog vehicle key. This concept can offer owners of private vehicles increased convenience, but where it really shines is in vehicle fleets with multiple drivers. No more key handovers – fleet managers and logistics providers simply use the app to give drivers access to the vehicles. “Bosch’s digital vehicle key gives fleets a boost towards greater connectivity,” Kröger says. The company believes there is a huge market for its solution, which is making its world debut at the IAA Commercial Vehicles in Hannover. The potential customers include some 15,000 logistics providers in Germany alone. Most of them manage at least a dozen vehicles and drivers. A keyless journey Row upon row of hundreds of keys hanging on large boards – logistics providers still often use this method to organize the keys to their fleet vehicles. A missing key triggers a massive search operation. But every minute counts, especially with commercial vehicles. After all, if a truck isn’t moving, it’s not making any money. At the core of the new system is an app that dispatchers and truck drivers both have on their phones. This makes it possible to grant vehicle access with just a few clicks. In the future, the Bosch solution will also allow logistics providers to completely integrate digital key management into their dispatch and scheduling systems. As soon as dispatch is assigned drivers and trucks to a route, the system automatically generates digital keys for the vehicles and sends them to the drivers’ smartphones. If the route scheduling changes, the software adjusts the keys accordingly. “Thanks to Bosch’s fully digital key management, logistics providers enjoy both security and flexibility in their planning. This is the only way the logistics of the future will be able to function efficiently,” Kröger says. Secure key management with app and cloud Bosch digital key management connects trucks and the smartphone app via the cloud. Dispatchers or fleet managers use the app to assign a truck to a driver for a particular route. Perfectly Keyless generates a personal, secure digital key and sends it via the cloud to the truck and to the driver’s smartphone. As the driver approaches the assigned truck, the sensors installed in the truck detect the smartphone via a wireless connection. The vehicle doors will open only if the key on the phone ‘fits’ the digital lock in the vehicle. These sensors can also tell when the driver is in the driver’s seat, and the engine starts up as soon as the driver presses the start-stop button. When the driver gets out of the car at the end of the journey, the system detects this and automatically locks the doors. Battery dead – No problem But what happens if the smartphone’s battery dies, or the device has gone missing? In the future, the vehicle key in the smartphone will work even if the phone battery is dead. In that case, the phone and truck will communicate using near-field communication (NFC), a wireless protocol for sharing data over short distances. Bosch plans to make it the ‘double hull’ of its solution. If the smartphone is lost or stolen, and the app with it, the digital key can be simply deactivated online, thus blocking access to the vehicle. It cannot be opened and started until the fleet manager uses the app to provide another driver or a new phone with access to the truck.

Dahua Technology’s state-of-the-art facial recognition solution enhances safety and business intelligence for its users. In real life a person rarely wants to be seen as someone other than himself. The misrecognition problem is not only time consuming, dignity compromising, but also life threatening in lots of cases where certain dangerous people are not correctly identified in time. This mistake is no longer affordable to make in today’s context, whether for an individual, a group, or the society as a whole. Fortunately the facial recognition technology has matured and the security solution based on the technology is being widely used across the world. Dahua Technology is especially good in this realm and it has been proved by multiple championships and new records made in major international challenges including multiple object tracking challenge, the KITTI 2D object detection evaluation 2012, KITTI flow benchmark, Task [word recognition] of incidental scene text challenge and Born-digital image challenge. It is necessary to explain some basic rules concerning how facial recognition works before the tour to see how Dahua Technology’s products & solutions are applied in various daily scenes. Simply put, big data is useless if the accuracy and efficiency of facial recognition has not been improved to certain levels. The face detection, whether from a snapshot or from a stream of video, requires not only a high-quality camera but more importantly, a smart AI algorithm that optimizes the image captured in multiple angles or blurred in motion, and translates the face feature into digital model which can be crosschecked in the database. The whole process, from taking the picture to comparison, takes as short as 300ms. Suppose there is a Tom, a middle level manager in his mid-30s. Let’s follow Tom for a day and see how Dahua Technology’s facial recognition solution plays its role in his perfectly ordinary life. Tom vs. access control Tom hurried to his company on the 30th floor of a class A office building, the kind with additional barriers in the lobby between the front gate and elevators. There were long lines in front of the access control machines. Tom reached into his pocket and unfortunately found his access card wasn’t there. But Tom should not worry anymore because the building had just updated the security system with Dahua facial recognition solution, which overcame various shortcomings of traditional ways of card or fingerprint scanning including low efficiency and inadequate security. Comparing to a card, apparently it is much less likely for one to lose/ replicate/ borrow a face. The access control was no longer a gamble if one’s fingerprint works. Here is how exactly Dahua facial recognition solution works in this scene. The powerful cameras blessed with deep learning AI detect the faces and digitalize the features, and compare them purely through numbers with the ones in database which takes less than 1 second. The beauty of the solu tion goes both ways since the company no longer needs to make a card or import finger prints for the newly employed but simply upload their photos into the database that contains up to 10,000 faces. Besides offices, this solution can also be applied to any place that has a high standard for access control like customs, schools, residential communities etc. Tom on the white list Tom stepped into a bank. On behalf of his company, Tom had some serious business to discuss with the bank, which, at this hour, was full of people. Before Tom started to worry about the time to be spent waiting and if he could make it to the next meeting on time, he heard his last name called and was led into the VIP room. Now how did the bank manage to do that? Not by human efforts for sure. No clerk could remember each and every face and match it with a particular name and particular business without making any mistake. That’s why facial recognition solution is essential to the business. The immediate detection of a VIP face could be easily matched with the white list in database – no delay or misidentification and all VIP treatment. This goes not only for banks. Hotels, hospitals and casinos alike will also benefit from this solution that secures the proper respect those exceptional customers deserve. Tom unauthorized Tom went to the vault of the bank for the first time in his life. He was happy that now he was trusted by the company with such important mission. He walked fast and went in front of the escort. But before he could raise his hand to touch the door of vault, a warning siren was triggered. The escort, with a reassuring smile, caught up and patted on Tom’s shoulder and explained the whole situation to him. No unauthorized personnel, be it Tom or Jerry, could intrude the sensitive areas blessed with Dahua facial recognition solution. The face captured and automatically optimized by the camera would be put into real time comparison with the authorized faces in data base and the low percentage of similarity, from a pure mathematical point of view, would immediately trigger the alarm. Other limited access areas like labs and archives will also enjoy better protection with facial recognition solution. Tom and the black list After a long day’s work, Tom went to see a football game with a friend. The show began even before they entered the stadium because they saw an infamous football hooligan got rejected and taken away outside the entrance gate. Tom, who have been through plenty of adventures during the day figured out what had happened. Tom’s friend, who happened to be an employee of Dahua Technology, took the chance to explain how Dahua facial recognition solution informed the security force to deal with any persona non grata on the black list as soon as they showed their faces. Of course, this solution could be widely applied to other areas like airports, train stations, or in other words, city management. So, this was a day in Tom’s life,…
