7KH¶JLJHFRQRP\·KHDULQJDERXWDQG
“EHLQJJLYHQZRUNWKURXJKVRFLDOPHGLD
FDQE\SDVVJXDUGLQJFRQWUDFWRUV
”
S
ome years ago you could hear people contrast the earlier, 1970s
bombing campaign by Irish republican terrorists with the new,
Islamist wave of terror. It verged on making the IRA sound like gents
- they rang to say they had left a bomb (except for the Birmingham
pub bombings of 1974), and they didn’t want to die (although the way the
bombs were made, some bomb-layers did, by accident). The outcomes,
however, were the same; and neither bunch of terrorists in truth much cared
who they killed. As London and other city centres at times seem to enter a
security siege (see picture, page 16, for example), the terrorism of the 1970s
and now seems alike; the differences between the two are in life in general.

Computers, digital data, and what’s been the real changer - mobile wireless
communications - have both changed the way we do our jobs, and have
created new sorts of work. That goes for private security as for any other
sector. As for the speed of the change - that we don’t notice as we dash from
day to day - it was a lesson to hear Ed Bateman of the Security Industry
Authority at the latest Security TWENTY conference last month in Harrogate
(page 18). The SIA set off a dozen years ago to give door staff and contract
security guards and CCTV control room operators, mainly, a badge. To apply,
you sent your application and papers in the post. It’s all done online now. And
now the regulator faces things undreamt of in the 2000s; the ‘gig economy’ of
hearing about and being given work through social media, which can bypass
guarding contractors altogether (or that provides an invaluable, up to the
second source of sub-contract labour). Criminals, surprise, surprise, are taking
to new media the same as the rest of us, as an outlet for offering bogus
identity documents (page 41). The need to secure our very identities against
criminals who would steal them for their own gain, and yet the need to have
digital identities, to pay for things on the go, means that society has to ask
itself: does it require infants to have a biometric taken, as a basic means of
identification (page 42). And the prospect is only of more of the same.
Artifical intelligence and machine learning will use and create yet more data
(page 68), for business and leisure use, including for security services.

Tot it all up, and we cannot do without the tools we already take for granted.
We know that, as our lives come to a halt if the devices break or are jammed
by a ransomware attack. The threats of the past, from bombs and knives, are
still around; we have merely added cyber threats. Young people take their
connectedness for granted, and why shouldn’t they; they have nothing else as
a comparison. It remains the task of private security people to give wise
counsel, whether to charity workers and others going into hostile regions
(page 34) or ‘bleisure’ travellers rounding off a business trip with a weekend
of leisure (page 36). The security job is a sort of sales one, of convincing
non-security people to listen, and of keeping up to date with current affairs.
That can make it tiring, and yet stimulating. If that does not come across in
these pages, then I have failed.

Door ‘conundrum’
More is being asked of door staff - to
be aware of child sexual exploitation
and vulnerable women, and to
respond to terrorism as in the recent
London Bridge attack - yet door staff
are harder to reach, as the work is
casualised, an SIA speaker admitted
at last month’s ST17 conference in
Harrogate. Ed Bateman, the SIA’s
deputy director, partnerships and
interventions, admitted it was a
conundrum: “I don’t know what the
answer is.” He said he had set targets
for the authority’s investigators: “I
want them to talk about safeguarding,
about not just regulation, but all these
key messages.” More, page 18. S

LONDON KNIFE STRATEGY:
FAST FOOD
HAVENS
The fast food chains McDonalds
and KFC have been praised
for good practice in the Mayor
of London’s new Knife Crime
Strategy. That document says
knife crime is on the rise around
the country; much of it to do with
street robbery and violence.
A ‘City Safe Havens’ scheme will be expanded, whereby sites offer
a place of safety to anyone under attack. It will include Transport for
London (TfL) and the top 20 fast food outlets in London. McDonald’s
and Kentucky Fried Chicken (pictured above) are already on board.
The capital has 600 such places, including City Hall (pictured below).
The strategy document says: “Fast food restaurants are amongst the
hotspots for knife crime, operating into the early hours and attracting
a young clientele.” The document stressed that the violence is not
linked to the restaurants, but to where young people congregate, much
like transport hubs. “However we must do more to ensure that these
locations are safe places. We will work with major fast food outlets and
partners to provide additional training for staff, equipment and other
support to make these locations safe. We will convene the top 20 most
affected areas and work with them to reduce knife crime incidences in
and around their restaurants, building on good practice.”
Schools and sales
As for schools, a Mayoral ‘safer schools standard’ is promised. London
schools in areas where knife crime is most prevalent will have metal
detecting knife wands, and every school will have a nominated Met

cameras. On the responsible sales of knives, the Labour Mayor Sadiq
Khan calls on retailers to take ‘necessary steps to stop young people
purchasing or shoplifting knives’. He is reviewing the feasibility
of a licensing scheme for retailers who sell knives, similar to the
one based in Scotland, under the Custodial Sentences and Weapons
(Scotland) Act 2007. As for retailers meeting their legal requirements,
and being inspected by local government, the document encourages
the ‘primary authority’ approach, whereby a retailer forms a legally
recognised partnership with
one council, that serves for
all others. Also planned is
more test purchasing by the
Met and Trading Standards,
to see if knives are being sold
to minors and knives they are
being stored appropriately;
and including online sales.

the aftermath of a knife crime, aimed
at ‘front line workers such as teachers
and doctors’. For the 41-page strategy

Met Commissioner Cressida Dick
said: “Despite everything that has been

are carrying knives, too many are

someone might deduce where you live, particularly if it’s nearby and
your name is unusual. Someone may look into you out of nosiness; or to
do a fraud against you; or to target your family.

Sold to the tabloids

One example the conference heard was how a solicitor wanted to serve
papers on someone. The client was a celebrity who had met a young
man and had sex with him; that man however had videoed the whole
thing on his ‘phone, and sold it to the tabloid press. The solicitor could
give the investigator four possible locations where the seller was.
The solicitor needed an answer that night, to prevent the video being
published. The seller had posted pictures of himself on social media,

as he was dressed casually. The investigator closed in on details in the CSL - the trusted choice

by NSI (NSCIA-NACOSS). Having
supported women in the systems
sector since the 1980s there is no
doubt that the NSI is advocating the
WiS Awards.
Contribution
Richard Jenkins, CEO of NSI
said: “NSI is committed to raising
standards within the security industry
and the Women in Security Awards
demonstrate the value women
are bringing to the sector. Those
considering security as a career
option, whether on the front line,
as an engineer or business owner
can clearly see from the awards the
opportunity there to be realised.
Showcasing ‘best in class’ and
celebrating such achievements is an
inspiration and is something all who
work in the sector should be truly
proud of. Working across the industry
with our approved companies,
industry bodies and key stake-
holders NSI sees the very tangible
contribution women make to driving
standards and helping the wider
security industry to move forward.”
Positive message
Dianne Gettinby, NSI’s Head
of Marketing Communications
added: “Having recently joined
the industry, these awards send a
very clear, positive message. They
are an invaluable opportunity to
shine a spotlight on the success and
achievements of women across the
wide aspects of the security industry.
The awards encourage us all to pause

simple server fault. While protection of
people, assets and property is of paramount
importance; video surveillance and access
control is increasingly being used in support
of compliance issues and as a result, any
unplanned downtime could have a major
impact on operational activity. Indeed, in
some cases it may result in a temporary but
costly closure. For example, government
and/or local regulations will in many
countries stipulate that a sporting event with
the general public in attendance cannot take

WKHYHQXH·VYLGHRVXUYHLOODQFHV\VWHPLV
fully operational. Understandably, the same
rules may be applicable to night clubs and
other venues where large numbers of the
public are likely to gather. Health and safety
compliance is no less an issue within the
industrial/production world. If you consider
the requirements of a food processing plant
where an access control system, in addition
to being used for general security purposes,
is also relied upon to ensure compliance with
hygiene regulations. The consequences of
unauthorised site access or anyone without

work in such a controlled environment could
be huge. An Inspector may even insist that
all on-site foodstuff is destroyed and all
machinery cleaned to avoid the slightest risk
of contamination. Consider also the current
WUHQGIRULQWHJUDWLRQZLWK0LFURVRIW·V$FWLYH
Directory; this means access control systems
utilising the latest advances in this technology
have the ability to be effortlessly integrated
into network-based systems where personnel

applications, such as IT services, payroll,

that these integrated systems need to be
working 24/7/365 to be effective.
Q: Are there not already many other similar
types of solutions available?
A: The IT industry does indeed offer a wide
range of options to keep software applications
running or to quickly restore them. Perhaps
the most simple approach to server availability,
is to have a basic backup and data-replication
procedure in place, which will help expedite
the restoration of an application and help
preserve data following a server failure.
However, if backups are only occurring daily,
there may only be a guarantee of 99 per cent
availability, resulting in up to 87.5 hours of
unplanned downtime per year. There are also
high availability solutions which can deliver
99.95 per cent to 99.99pc uptime. However,
such systems typically use clustering
technologies and therefore require the system
to fail before responding/restoring functionality.
Only continuous availability solutions are
able to deliver 99.999pc uptime. This is the
HTXLYDOHQWWRDSSUR[LPDWHO\MXVWÀYHPLQXWHVRI
downtime per year.
Q: How does everRun Enterprise work?
A: Supported by specialist continuous
availability software, two servers are linked
and continuously synchronised via a
virtualisation platform that pairs protected
virtual machines together to create a single
operating environment. If one physical
machine should fail, the application or software have limited IT knowledge. As well as being
platform will continue to run on the other
physical machine without any interruptions.
In-progress alarms and access control events, WRGHOLYHUWKHEHQHÀWVRI&RQWLQXRXV
as well as data in memory and cache, are
preserved. Simply put, continuous availability
means that no single point of failure can stop

Spotlight feature on:
a security software platform from running and
unlike high availability, back-up and clustering
solutions, there is no restart or reboot
required and therefore, no downtime.

EU ID PROJECT:
Biometric

Proving and securing your identity is
important for everyone - as shown
in a European project, aired at the
recent SDW (security Document
World) exhibition in London.
The EU-funded ORIGINS study
by academics and such identity
product companies as Safran and
Gemalto was described by Stephane
Caillebotte, the co-ordinator, who

proof of ID boils down to birth, and
securing identities against fraud is
only as good as the weakest (still

EU countries don’t have ‘harmonised’
breeder documents. The security

ORIGINS is looking into what’s best
practice. Suggested is an ‘e-birth
register’, signed for (digitally) by an
RIÀFLDODQGWKHLGHQWLW\RIWKHSDUHQWV
cross-checked. Also suggested is
that a biometric is taken, although
some biometrics at birth and in the
early years may be more stable than

a ‘lifecycle’. If each new citizen has

Sustainable
Charles de Couessin offered the idea
of a ‘sustainable identity’, established
DWELUWKZKHWKHUSDSHURUGLJLWDOD
EDE\·VÀQJHUSULQWFDQEHUHFRUGHG
after a few weeks, he noted. He raised
the possibility of using blockchain
technology to provide evidence that
an identity who the holder says they
are (and are alive), and that it hasn’t
been changed. Think of blockchain
like a handshake, between computers.
6XFK,'VKDYHVWDUWHGVLQFH
Estonia has offered a blockchain-
based system whereby you (you don’t
have to be Estonian) can have an
electronic identity. Another example
de Couessin gave was of the Nigerian
FHQVXVRIVRPHPSHRSOHEDVHG
on blockchain, three computers, and
DGLVWULEXWHG,7VWRUDJH2QHEHQHÀW
there is that it reduces the scope
for people to fraudulently claim

an identity, and then use hospitals
or other services that they are not
entitled to.
About the US
Elsewhere at the three-day show
meanwhile an American speaker was
sharing the United States’ way of
each state issuing its own documents
such as driving licences, which gives
plenty of scope for counterfeits.

Schengen
Doing away with much of the
formalities of Europe’s internal
borders became one of the reasons
for the EU. However, recent Islamist
terror attacks have shown how
terrorists move undetected across
those internal borders. With refugees,
drugs, or weapons, smugglers get
around those borders too. The last two
years thanks to the Syrian - and other
- refugee crisis - has seen physical
barriers on borders, even in the EU’s

OUR PARTNERS
 Interview
SIA SPEAKS:
ACS review is
‘fundamental’
The Security Industry Authority is
having a ‘fundamental’ review of
its approved contractor scheme. We
spoke to the SIA.
D
ave Humphries, Director
of Partnerships and
Interventions, began with
context. The ACS is 11 years old. “We
do view ACS as a success story; it
has broadly achieved what we wanted
it to do. It’s there to raise standards
in the industry, and our perception
and our evidence is that it has done
that.” Cynics might say, why review
it then?! To leave Dave for a minute,
an answer to that lay in the talk
that opened the ST17 conference in
Harrogate, on July 4 (report, page 18).
Dave Humphries To return to Dave Humphries; while
Photo courtesy of the SIA ACS is not a failed scheme, the SIA is
looking to build on it. As Dave said:

ACS put another way that the buyer of a
Photos by Mark Rowe guarding service knows what they are
paying for, ‘encouraging the market

to choose ACS’, in Dave’s words.
He acknowledged that ACS has to
be of use to successful businesses, as
something that helps in the buying
process; besides something for the
regulator, as something that makes
a link between good security, and
good practice; and indeed something
good for government and society,
for protecting the public. But as
Dave said, setting high standards is
not just for their own sake; they’re
for a purpose, whether preventing
crime or (a recent added government
requirement for door security)
safeguarding the vulnerable.
Dave described the review as
fundamental and not done before in
the 11 years. He did admit voluntarily
that the SIA had done reviews over
the years, but this was in another
league. Other reviews might have
been more like the regulator’s
equivalent of a car’s MoT; this
review was about the lot, what
standard should be set, how it’s run.
Professional Security raised, in a
word, grading. The ACS does that by
a score, from, zero to 174. To leave
Dave again for a minute, and as we
said to him, say ‘ACS’ to anyone
in guarding and they will have an
opinion, whether they like the scheme
or not. Put another way, it cannot
please everyone, and not only because
that’s the essence of grading; ranking
one company above another. The
more carefully you do rankings, the
more complicated it can become; and
the harder for non-specialists - such
as buyers, let alone the public - to
grasp. Why a maximum of 174?!
The SIA website has the strange line
that the ‘ACS scoring system was
not designed to be a differentiation
tool’. By comparison, the bronze-
silver-gold of the NSI’s guarding
standard (which pre-dates the SIA) is
easier to grasp. Yes, the ACS gives or
denies more marks to a company; the
score is according to 89 performance
www.professionalsecurity.co.uk
indicators. Which takes us back to
the review; what should a company
be judged on? What does good look
like - and to different interest groups?
As the SIA admits, a high score does
not mean a company does well in
all things. ACS has been taken up
by companies of all sizes, from the
multi-nationals, to the ‘micros’ with
only a handful of people. To return
to Dave; while he didn’t commit to
particulars, that’s the whole point
of consultation; the SIA wants to
hear from you, including if you are
a non-ACS company (what puts you
off seeking or gaining approval? what
might make you change your mind?).
On the bronze-silver-gold, he said:
“We will look at what everybody
says. There may be a range of views,
we will see; if there is a clear body
of opinion that says this is a really
good way to go, we would say, why
not; if people think this is workable,
we would be a regulator that would
respond to that. We are at the stage of
asking.” He added that grading and
scoring had been mentioned to the
SIA, ahead of the review. The SIA,
then, is not wedded to a way of doing
things, but to its goals as a regulator.
Your views wanted
Dave did stress that the SIA wants
to hear from you. “We are really
keen that as many people as possible
contribute; we have various means by
which they can do so; probably the
most obvious is the website portal and
offer their views. But there are also
specialist focus groups, if anybody
is particularly keen to give a detailed
opinion about the approved contractor
scheme; we would love them to get
involved as well. We really want
people’s views, and as many as
possible. It’s a window that isn’t open
for ever.”
Through social media
Professional Security brought up
something that cropped up at a
national stakeholder meeting in
London, earlier in the year - that Dave
attended, so he knows it; one around
the table spoke of the phenomenon
of recruiting SIA-badged staff
through social media; the call for
badged people, and then almost »

services; indeed, that’s part of the
problem, including maybe for the
regulator; such a service could be
offered by anyone. Again, Dave did
acknowledge the impact of such a
method of doing business. “We take
the view that if people are properly
licensed, at the right standard, there
need not necessarily be an issue that
concerns us, because we are about
standards and people working legally
and in compliance with our regime.
How they get to the marketplace
is less of a concern to us.” Dave,
then, returned to ‘standards’; if such
methods lead to lower standards, ‘then
we are bothered’. He returned also
to the buyers; they (and any middle-
men) still need to do due diligence,
about who’s ultimately deployed:
“The standard must be maintained is
what concerns us.”

Professional Security also raised a
more fundamental problem with the
ACS; that it’s (although we didn’t
say this to Dave) something of a
Cinderella - compared to the SIA
licence, the badge that the public has
seen for years now, whether around
the arm of a doorman at a pub, or on
a lanyard of the uniformed guard in
a shopping centre. The ACS doesn’t
have that visibility of the badge. Dave
accepted the point about visibility;
although pointing out that the ACS
does have a logo, that members can
use (and it’s a crime if someone uses
it, and they aren’t entitled to). But he
asked a fair question of his own; who
does the ACS need to be visible to?
“And I think an important community
there is those buyers of security. I
think we would accept there’s a lot
more to be done with that group
of buyers, to explain to them what
$&6LVLQWKHÀUVWSODFHEXWDOVRWKH
52 AUGUST 2017 PROFESSIONAL SECURITY www.professionalsecurity.co.uk
EHQHÀWVRIXVLQJDQ$&6SURYLGHU
Awareness levels are much lower than
we want it to be,” and that is one of
the aims for the revised scheme; that
buyers (excuse the pun) buy more into
ACS.
Buyers
Dave made a point aimed at buyers,
that they should know what they are
getting, whether quality or buying
on price and taking a chance on
quality, and taking a risk on their
reputation, ‘because often security
LVWKHÀUVWSHUVRQWKDWWKHFXVWRPHU
meets’, whether on the door of a shop
or a pub. In a striking phrase, Dave
suggested that if a buyer of security is
not using an ACS company, ‘they are
hitting the gamble button’. “I think
there is lots of work to be done there,
but if the new scheme is based on this
consultation, it will take account of
buyers in terms of how the scheme
will work best for them.”
Partnership
Someone else with an interest in
security guards and the ACS that
Dave went on to is the police; the
SIA wants to promote police working
in better partnership with private
security. As Dave said, naturally
police forces want some assurance
about the quality of security that they
are working alongside (and to leave
Dave once more, to complicate the
landscape further, police forces can

DQGRIÀFHUVZKHWKHUFRQWUDFWRUVRU
from housing associations or local
government, under the Community
Safety Accreditation Scheme, CSAS,
one more acronym to remember).
Here Dave went on to some of the
topics that Ed Bateman covered in
his talk to ST17; private security as
extra eyes and ears, doing police-
style work, reducing violence in the
night-time economy and elsewhere,
safeguarding the vulnerable, such
as against ‘modern slavery’; and
countering terror. Dave had no need,
then, to spell out how useful the work
of private security is. How to arrange
the ACS, and how to give others such
DVWKHSROLFHWUXVWDQGFRQÀGHQFHLQ
what it stands for, are more for the
review. S

GLUHFWRU1DWLRQDO7UXVW made the point that being agile was
also about reacting to outside events,
QRWLQJWKDWWKH,6&/RQGRQRIÀFH
at London Bridge was cordoned off
54 AUGUST 2017 PROFESSIONAL SECURITY
after the knife terror attack of the
Saturday night before. Paul Watts
spoke of security as about people,
process and technology; also you did
not know when an event will happen.
The ‘Wannacry’ IT attack (featured
last issue) came on a Friday, ‘and you
just have to react, and you have to be
adaptable and dynamic and that’s just
the nature of security’. “And you have
to learn quickly,” Stuart Hirst added,
making the point that the Wannacry
attack escalated in a couple of days.
“It’s OK not to know what you are
doing, sometimes,” he said, meaning
that you won’t always have the answer
on the spot. One of the backbones of
agility is resilience, said Vicki Gavin:
“We never know what is going to go
wrong tomorrow, no matter how much
time we spend thinking about it, it is
the unexpected we have to deal with,
and the only way you can deal with it
is by being agile.”
Knowledge spine
That meant, Adrian Davis suggested,
having good incident response
planning, tested and exercised, to
provide a ‘spine of knowledge’.
Vicki Gavin said that rehearsal was
more important than documentation,
‘because if you can document it, it
isn’t an incident any more, it’s the
stuff that you can’t imagine, that you
have to respond to and then it’s the
exercising that gives you the edge.”
Summing up, Adrian Davis spoke
of procedures and plans; but also
leadership, and an ability to try, and
IDLOEXWOHDUQ:KHUHGRZHÀQGWKHVH
people, this Superman?! Sticking
with resilience, Vicki Gavin said that
people are capable of learning; once
staff are on board, a trick that we
might miss is not developing them.
Stuart Hirst even spoke of, rather
www.professionalsecurity.co.uk
www.flir.com
than security being locked-down
and process driven, of looking for
people who were ‘experimentational’
and ‘ready to take on some chaos, I
guess; and there’s less of that than the
standard, old-school security’. One
of the things he liked about his team,
he went on, was that they have the
technical skills; but could also manage
WKHSURYHUELDO¶GLIÀFXOWFRQYHUVDWLRQV·
whether within the company or with
customers. The diary might say you
are doing something at 9am, but at
9.05am it may be thrown to the wall;
‘and you just roll with that’.
Workforce pools
Adrian Davis threw in the IT problem
of high churn rate and organisations
not willing to train people. Vicki
Gavin went into recruitment; how you
might draw up a long list of required

Vicki Gavin replied that part of the
problem was that ‘we don’t take the
time to remove bias from a lot of our
UROHSURÀOHV6WXDUW+LUVWDJUHHGDV
did Paul Watts, complaining that there
was no real mention of ‘soft skills’
in a job role description; although
obviously technical skills were
important. You can’t force people
into IT security, Stuart Hirst said,
recalling that he was recently in a
room of 17-year-old computer science
students and only one was a girl; why?
“I don’t know the answer to that, but
we have to encourage people from an
early age that there’s a career here,” in
computer coding. “But it’s going to be
a long process.” Adrian Davis quoted

when she entered the workforce,

What to look for
On that note, Adrian Davis asked

building an ‘agile team’. An MBA

for a broad experience base, and that
doesn’t necessarily mean in the world

done in a business. Tell me about
the things you got wrong, and how
you worked on them. I don’t think
there’s enough of that sort of thing.
I am interested in learning how you
failed, and how you learned from
it, not just the good stuff you did.”
His motto was ‘fail fast but learn’.
Stuart suggested that you should not
be scared of failure, because your
best work might come when you
are not scared of doing wrong (and
being shouted at). Paul Watts agreed,
and not just inside security but in a
business generally, if for example
something causes down-time. Vicki
Gavin agreed, speaking of how it
wasn’t enough for the security team
to be agile; an understanding from
the top down that things are going to
go wrong. Rather than trying to avoid
data breaches, for example, ‘it’s about
how you respond’.
Where you sit
Adrian Davis asked how to lead on
agility in teams, and where does
cyber sit in an organisation. Vicki
Gavin replied: “I report to the CFO
>FKLHIÀQDQFHRIÀFHU@P\UROHLV
more governance and control, we
advise the IT team and I regularly
report to the board on our overall
posture as regards cyber security. I
have been doing that since 2009, so
this isn’t something new.” Stuart Hirst
said that security is fundamental, as
it touches every part of the business
(which can be chaotic). On that
relation of a small security (let alone
infosec) department to an overall
business, Paul Watts, who joined
Network Rail in 2014, described how
it has a core information security
www.professionalsecurity.co.uk
www.flir.com
team, but messages go across the
business, bringing intelligence back,
a sort of crowd-sourcing. He had
someone in his team with a marketing
background on a six-month rotation,
to bring his security internet content
and social media to life. It was for
everyone in security to bring in such
people, interested in security, who
however did not know how to get into
it. He recommended also giving talks
about being safe online: “It doesn’t
always have to be about the corporate
agenda.” Vicki Gavin said that
security was certainly not a grudge
spend at The Economist: “We are an
online business, security is key to
that, customers expect it.”
Everyone
Adrian Davis spoke of how
millennials are concentrating on
WHFKQLFDOTXDOLÀFDWLRQV\HWUHFUXLWHUV
want softer, problem-solving skills;
how to bridge that gap? Someone
in the audience asked how can a
candidate at interview say what
they can add to a business, when its
requirements change so often? And
UHFUXLWPHQWDJHQFLHVZRQ·WÀHOG\RX
XQOHVV\RXÀWPRVWRIWKHMREVSHF
The panel agreed on how everyone in
a business has to be part of security,
day to day, for example Security
having conversations with HR, and IT
engineers. As a security department
was so small, and had to support an
entire business, perhaps globally, it
had no choice but to be agile. S

vulnerability is known about, for

continue to ship regardless. No man
is an island, and nor are security
systems. Most now will feed back to
an integrated security management
system (SMS). These SMS consoles,
like any software, need to be kept
up to date, with security patches
being applied any time a particular
element is found to be vulnerable.
Yet, how often do manufacturers send
out software updates for security
purposes?
Patches applied?
It’s not just about manufacturers; if
they are legitimately informing their
buyers and end users that there are
vulnerabilities, are their warnings
being taken in hand and the patches
applied as they should be? It might
well be that all patching in an
organisation is handled by IT security;
but the patches are not issued to them,
as the system is a physical one. Who
is going to handle the patching regime
for the physical systems? Why am I
posing all these questions, you may
be wondering? Because we have
www.professionalsecurity.co.uk
www.flir.com
seen with the recent outbreaks of
ransomware, what happens when these
systems are not properly patched,
even when a patch has been issued. In
the news, we learned that even after
Microsoft issued emergency patches
for obsolete systems after the [May]
WannaCry outbreak, some places still
did not apply the patch and so were
vulnerable to the next ransomware
attack which we know as Petya.
Routers too
It is also equipment like routers and
switches, equipment that forms the
communication backbone of our
distributed and integrated security
systems that need to be maintained
in this way. Cisco discovered that of
115k of its routers, 106k were not
running up to date versions of the
software, despite updates issued.
There are no good reasons to allow
a system to remain unpatched and
outdated. Portals into systems need
to be considered too. If we look at
Target in the US, it was attacked
through a maintenance portal for its
air-conditioning system, ultimately
enabling the loss of millions of debit
and credit card details and costing
Target dearly. So many of our security
and building management systems
have remote access for management
and maintenance purposes. Insecure
access portals provide an ideal easy
way in for attackers, to every system
it’s connected to, and even in some
cases to the corporate crown jewels.
Finally, what about the maintenance
organisations? How secure are they?
All organisations that access you
through cyberspace need to have your
security in mind too.
Think about it
So think about things like video
surveillance images, where are they
stored, how are they transmitted and
secured in transit and at rest. You also
need to understand what happens to
them once their retention period has
expired. It is no longer about securing
your own organisation, any more
than it is only about IT systems. Our
businesses and our supply chains are
like ecosystems now. If we appreciate

Video in the cloud
However, connected devices are
generating a substantial volume of
data. This poses the question of where
and how this data can be stored; and
conversations are already taking
place around storage and access to
video in the cloud. As consumers
we’ve become very familiar with the

The use and integration of data in

quickly moving to the need for real

actions — sometimes autonomously.
At the recent IFSEC the number
of presentations, panel discussions
and vendors talking about AI was
staggering. And it’s no wonder when
the opportunity for our industry
is huge: if security guards and
emergency services can use the data
from AI to make smart predictions it
will help increase preventative and
real-time tactics, rather than being
seen primarily as a reporting process
for forensic insights. Thanks to AI
we’ll see the industry becoming more
proactive, rather than reactive, as a
result of machine learning being able

situations before they happen.

‘Sure, there will always

Wensley Clarkson,
towards the end of Sexy
Beasts.
70 AUGUST 2017 PROFESSIONAL SECURITY
Cat and
mouse
robbery
Despite the title, this story of the
Hatton Garden vault robbery offers
more; a story of crime and law
enforcement in living memory, writes
Mark Rowe.
A
good third of the book is
given over to ‘the history’;
of the London underworld,
including the man behind the robbery,
Brian Reader, and what Clarkson
calls ‘a series of cat and mouse
games between Reader and Flying
Squad detective that would go on for
decades’. As Clarkson shows, the
criminals are only one side of the
story; the other is the police. While
some readers might feel that the
history is getting in the way of the
actual ‘inside story’, Clarkson does
point out how the roots of the 2015
theft date as far back at the 1960s. In
September 1971 for instance, London
criminals stole millions from a Lloyds
Bank in Baker Street, a case with
similarities with Hatton Garden; the
work over a bank holiday weekend,
the faulty security and police
response; the rounding up of most of
the robbers.
‘Wild West of Europe’
Besides giving background in
the sense of time, Clarkson also
shows the geographical spread of
criminals; London and the south east
he describes early on in an almost
off-hand manner as ‘the Wild West of
Europe; a frontier zone full of deadly
mavericks from all four corners of
the globe; one of the fastest-growing
countries in the world, where black
money still rules’. While foreigners
have come to London to do crime,
the native London crooks have
gone to northern Turkey; Spain and
Thailand. Clarkson also sets out how
this underworld is one for gossip,
and has a relationship with show
EXVLQHVVDQGÀOPWRZDUGVWKHHQG
he likens the not-caught criminal
‘Basil’ to Keyser Soze of the movie
Reviewing
Books for professionals
HATTON GARDEN EXPLAINED:
The Usual Suspects. Clarkson closes
by suggesting that ‘a so-called Curse
of Hatton Garden will emerge’ as the
crime casts a shadow – people are hurt
and die because of what they know or
are suspected of knowing about the
takings.
Violent legends
Clarkson describes the Hatton
Garden gang as veterans, even ‘old
codgers’, now ‘legendary characters’.
While this may all run the risk
of romanticising the criminals,
Clarkson makes plain their drastic
and ruthless violence. Times have
changed. Instead of pitting themselves
against cash in transit guards with
truncheons, ‘security systems are far
more sophisticated today’, and the
thieves were undone by tech, such
as tracings on their mobile phones
and laptop contents. Clarkson makes
the case for the ‘Hatton Garden Job’
as a ‘quintessentially English crime’
and a ‘throwback to the days when
gangs of ‘blaggers’ ruled the streets of
London’. Robbery appears not worth
the effort, as it’s so detectable. Ë

GAMES ‘FIASCO’ REVISITED
A book about the ‘Shadow State’ of
outsourced private companies doing
work for the public sector, including
security, has plenty enough targets
that it duly hits. There’s no denying
that it’s an important subject and
there have been enough scandals

‘will continue to thrive’ despite the

shortcomings in other contracts,
such as monitoring of tagging of
RIIHQGHUV7KHVHFXULW\¶ÀDVFR·
was in a way a red herring and
unrepresentative of the wider issue.
The Olympics was a one-off that
ran for a few weeks, although it was
years in the planning. Most ‘shadow
state’ work boils down to contract
management. If as Alan White
says the likes of Serco and G4S are
rewarded for ‘market failure’, aren’t
the companies only half the equation?
It was a shame that in a book called
‘Shadow State’, the author had little to
say about the state’s responsibilities,
rather than concentrating on (as in
fairness its sub-title says) ‘inside the
secret companies that run Britain’. It
did mean that the author only told at
best half a story. Ë

CORPORATE HANDBOOK
Former FBI man Dr Joseph T Wells
has linked ‘the theorist with the
practitioner’, in the latest edition of
his Corporate Fraud Handbook.
Frauds, or ‘occupational offences’
are a variety of petty crimes and
other counterproductive behaviours
that have become common, and even
silently condoned, in the workplace.
Good workers (so called) can turn
bad. As Wells soon shows, there’s
more to a fraud than the theft; human
psychology, morals, are involved,
such as personal integrity, and the
gaining and betrayal of trust. Wells
is as at home among the theories for
how and why some people do fraud
and not others - the ‘fraud triangle’
of need, opportunity and rationalising
the wrong away - as he is among the
reality of cases, which practitioners
may want to turn to most. This wide-
ranging book deserves an audience
among more than security and
counter-fraud specialists. Ë

Thermal Imaging
Dahua has launched a
thermal mini hybrid bullet
camera, the DH-TPC-
BF2120.
Described as an entry-level
product, it features a dual-channel spectrum, and measures 9.39-inches
by 3.56 by 3.56 inches. The thermal deploys the company’s image
analysis and intelligent algorithms in the optical camera, and
integrates them into the thermal camera. This product combines one
thermal camera for monitoring in total darkness and one optical
camera with the Sony Starvis sensor to acquire high resolution colour
images. It’s connected at install using one IP address. Infra-red
lighting at night captures detail. It’s for use in detecting fires; and in
perimeter protection, where multiple cameras can form a perimeter
intruder detection system, which performs as an invisible tripwire
using thermal imaging. When installed at the recommended height of
5m and with a field of view of 56 degrees by 44 degrees, one
DH-TPC-BF2120 covers a fence of 29m. Applications, the makers
say, include parks, industrial estates and large car parks.

New data law welcome
A welcome for a new data protection regime in the
UK as announced in the recent Queen’s Speech.
The greater the volumes of data accessible
online, the greater the potential for exposure
and the increased chance of hackers taking
advantage of systems that some have thought
impregnable. Ensuring that both individuals and
businesses have as much control as possible
over where and how their data is used is critical

measures to tackle them, particularly as we
draw nearer to the widespread introduction of
the General Data Protection Regulation next
year.
Peter Carlisle

Cyber for employers
Employers need to realise that we are at a critical
point within the cyber security industry, we’re told.
We know that companies are seeking the
SHUIHFWFDQGLGDWHZKRKDVILYHWRWHQ\HDUV·
experience and several certifications for an entry
level position. This is an impractical and
damaging approach to hiring as we are
substantially restricting the pool of potential
candidates. Companies need to be more
inclusive and mindful of the other attributes that
make a good security professional. If a
candidate does not have the adequate
experience but has the necessary training or
skillset, then there is an opportunity to educate
them through the company. Offer them
certifications and training programmes within the
organisation to develop their skills. This goes a
long way to increase employee loyalty, too.
Being analytical, curious and a good
communicator are just some of the attributes
that make a good cyber security professional. If
you have the right systems in place, there is no
reason not to hire someone who has these skills
and teach them the technical skills later. There
is an abundance of IT talent that wants to break
into this sector and there are many diamonds in
the rough that can be mentored and nurtured
into future stars. Moving forward, we need a
change in mindset quickly otherwise this issue
will scale out of hand.
Tim Erlin
VP, Tripwire
Money laundering too
The general data protection regulation isn’t the
only compliance thing around; there’s the fourth EU
Money Laundering Directive (MLD4).
The rise in high profile fines for failing to
maintain money laundering defences proves
that this issue is a key regulatory priority.
Financial penalties for big players have pushed
other industry giants to get their anti-money

businesses, but with anti-money laundering so
high on the agenda economically and politically,
this time could be different. While a traditional
approach would target the bigger banks, smaller
financial institutions could be subject to a series
of warning shots in the form of audits,
investigations and sanctions, should the
regulator suspect they are failing to comply with

issued which would have a significant financial
impact on smaller businesses. The UK will
remain under the spotlight for domestic and
international corruption, and regulated firms of
all sizes need to ensure their protocols match
the regulatory requirements. Companies have
had ample time to accept and prepare for their
role in the fight against money laundering as it
continues to damage the UK economy. If they

Attack strategy
Many firms allocate resources to cyber-security,

this tended to be satisfactory. Little or no money
may have been spent protecting low-grade
corporate software assets. The problem with this
approach in 2017, is that attackers have latched
on to this as an attack strategy. They may attack
the low-grade assets first, then pivot to the
higher value assets later, perhaps by an internal
path that has not been defended. In some
cases, the attackers may wish to cause
destruction of assets, or present a distraction
away from their real intentions. If proof were
needed, recent attacks are dismantling the
notion that threats will only attack high-value

to be written with security in mind. In the future,
firms will thrive, where customers and
shareholders perceive that security has become
a competitive advantage, to the less secure
alternative..

Things are broken
The security of the Internet of Things is
fundamentally broken. Developers and

their new hi-tech devices to market and
unfortunately often overlook security.

Westminster
A recent cyber attack against the Westminster
parliament reinforced the need for careful audit of
IT security policies and procedures and the need
for a digital ‘devil’s advocate’, according to a risk
management and investigations firm.
The perpetrators used a fairly unsophisticated
brute force attack which attempted to guess
the passwords of the 9000 MPs, peers,
parliamentary aides and assorted other staff
who use the system. The parliamentary
authorities tell us that the fact that less than
100 accounts (about 1pc) were compromised was because the

this stage whether the compromised users took a decision to ignore the
policy or whether they were unaware of the security requirements, and the
potential consequences of their actions. However, given that the UK
Government has declared the cyber threat a Tier 1 threat to the UK, and
the continued discussion around foreign powers mounting cyber attacks
against countries in an attempt to influence elections, or as a tool in geo-
stance to take. Sacrificing security for
expediency is a common problem in the cyber

acceptable in many other situations and one
where the risks are increasingly outweighing
the rewards. To avoid problems associated
with ineffective risk assessment or poorly
implemented controls, we often suggest a
process that is not new – in fact, it goes back
to 1587, when the Catholic Church initiated a

is to evaluate issues like security and privacy, quality control, and
vulnerabilities that may have been overlooked during development, as well
as legal or regulatory considerations that may not have been fully
analysed. There are numerous ways of technically enforcing strong
passwords and any corporate Chief Information Security Officer would be
checking this as a matter of routine. If it turns out that personal information
