The 10 Most Trusted Security Companies

4. Editorial R emember that whistle blowing in the middle of the night while the entire area is having pin-drop silence? Remember those sounds of “Thak-thak- thak” on the dark and lonely alleys near the house? Some of us still hear those sounds, but the people growing and living in the fast-paced so called “Developed” cities miss those “experiences”. That is the sound which made us to believe that “We are safe”, even though it is dark, the streets are empty and all our neighbors are sleeping. That is the sound which used to act as a catalyst to our peaceful sleep. That is the sound which resembles with the old security man of the colony. While digging out facts about the Indian private security sector, it is apparently observed that this sector is expected to grow at a much faster rate in near future and the massive expansion in the sector is expected to create millions of jobs for the masses over next the few years. India's huge competitive advantage has been the availability of enough manpower. Large numbers of youth who fall below the poverty line are the ones who decide to drop out of the formal education system and ultimately face limited opportunities of employment. Many of them come to the urban area in search of better employment opportunities. The private security industry provides several employment opportunities to large number of rural youth. It is certainly a sunrise sector with the potential to be the second largest employment generator in the country. Quantum Growth of Private Security Sector Earlier, security meant a chowkidar with a stick and whistle but today the sector is well organized and provides professional and customized services. It is not only restricted to manned guarding, the security companies have moved into diversified fields such as cash handling, integrated facility management, electronic security services, security architecture and engineering, and more proficient services. The new-age security market is not only providing these varieties of services but the work force also gets the opportunity to up-skill themselves. According to Maslow's theory of motivation, the second most important need after food and shelter is the need for protection and security. The theory says that the basic need of safety must be met before moving to satisfy higher level of needs. It is a natural desire of human being to feel safe and protected. With the growing economy coupled with rising urbanization, construction offers vast opportunities to the growing security industry. The major investment in large scale infrastructure projects, industrial set ups, developments of public infrastructure such as airports, shopping malls, metro stations and other landscape developments have created more demand of private security services. Moreover, Government initiatives of development of smart cities will fuel the growth of the industry. Shweta Priyadarshini Shweta Priyadarshini

Ltd. He completed his MBA - Marketing from Mumbai University, having sound experience in IT Industry, especially in the arena of Smart Card and RFID Sales. He has worked with a leading Manufacturers and System integrator companies of Smart Cards and RFID during his career.

19. W Industries which are adopting RFID in all their processes are Automobile, Education, Health care & Retail sectors. Aviation is also using RFID with certain norms of the industry. hen we talk about an IT sector, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is an emerging technology in India & all over the world now-a-days, especially in education & manufacturing sectors. AIDC (Automatic Identification & Data capture) domain is an emerging concept for the era now, which focuses on identification of each & every item, including a raw material, finished goods, manufacturing machine, or an asset of the company – admin assets & IT / non-IT assets in manufacturing plants. Some of the popular applications of RFID are – Access control system, Parking management system, Visitor management system, Asset management system, Guard patrolling management, RFID based Toll collection, Library management system, Retail theft control system, Vehicle tracking system, Supply chain management, Jewelery management System, Document management system, Hospital management system, School management System, E – Certificate, Automobile industry, RFID yard management, student tracking & attendance management. RFID works on the principal of RFID tag, which has a memory chip, a reader & antenna, which helps in reading the tag & the software where it is sent for further processing. All these mechanism shows the results for automation on the line of identification. RFID is broadly categorized in 3 different frequencies – In addition to this, RFID is used across construction, engineering, the chemical industries, manufacturing, sugar factories, retail, logistics, and the public sector as well as many others. However, the value of the various benefits of RFID is often different in different sectors. 1. LF – Low frequency OR proximity. This works on a smaller read range of 2-5 cm distance and 125 Khz. 2. HF – High frequency OR mifare. This works on 13.56 MHz on a same read distance like LF i.e. 2-5 cm. The only difference in LF & HF is that HF chip has a memory for information writing, whereas LF chip has no memory. 3. UHF – Ultrahigh frequency. This has a memory in tag, as well as it works on larger read distance, starting from 3 meters to 15 meters according to the tags & readers used. Lower Cost & Higher Productivity RFID applications can automate the collection of information about the movement and location of assets, components, stock or other items; doing this more quickly, whilst reducing costs and with greater accuracy and reliability than is possible with manual methods and with more detail than can be obtained from techniques such as bar-coding. Data collection can be a by-product of other activities, eliminating the need for effort in form filling. Identifying products using RFID is quicker than barcode scanning or manual entry of product details. The actors affecting RFID read range are – metal, water & human body. Hence, there are special tags are being manufactured by companies to be used on metal objects. These tags are either the hard tags which create some insulation between metal surface & tag chip & help them give a good read range. Beauty of the metal tags is they make the entire metal object as their antenna to give a fantastic read range. Improved Quality for Data Capture Using an RFID approach means data can be captured 17 July 2018|

20. rapidly and accurately. Electronic data collection with RFID avoids data transcription errors and avoids “missed items” when used to collect data on large numbers of items at once. Reduced Capital Costs RFID technologies help to lower costs by providing better control of stocks or assets. They can help keep track of business assets such as test equipment, transport packing, computing technology and other portable devices. Better Security Access control systems using RFID contribute to improved security of business premises. RFID tagging of stock and assets makes it easier to track inventory “shrinkage” and tags can be used to fight against product counterfeiting. Increased Revenues By reducing stock-outs, by avoiding the credibility gap between notional stock available for orders and actual stock present in the warehouse, and by offering improved information on product movements to customers, organizations using RFID can provide a service that creates competitive differentiation and promotes increased customer satisfaction with the opportunities for higher sales and better margins. Shorter Processes Because RFID technologies can be integrated with other manufacturing or supply chain technologies (automated pallet handling, stock picking systems, etc) the time from order to despatch and delivery can be reduced. Improved Regulatory Compliance Using RFID to control when devices have been inspected or to restrict their movement can form part of a strategy to address health and safety issues or to satisfy insurers or regulatory bodies that processes are being followed. Looking at the above benefits, Indian government as well as private companies is sanctioning separate budgets for this technology, & even it is being made mandatory in some places. The time is closer, when every company will be using some or the other application of RFID. 18 July 2018|

25. The Rise of in Autonomous Robots Physical Security T mere factory jobs and entered the sphere of physical security. Few Silicon Valley startups have already developed and deployed autonomous robots, made purely for the purpose of security and surveillance. Although, robots have just broken into the surface of the security industry, the advantages and impact of this has been realized already. The world can expect autonomous robots to be the future of physical security. Seems like the picture that all the robot centered sci-fi movies have painted in our minds throughout the years, will be the part of our reality someday. he field of robotics has taken an upward trajectory with developments in it as well as in other technologies like wireless communications, AI, and IoT. Robots have entered various domains today. The industry of physical security is witnessing the same trend. Robots have moved further on from A New Partner of Security Officers Globally, the autonomous security robots are gradually being adopted by various industries. This new-age technology will make the lives of the security teams easier and reduce the risk posed on their lives. These robots are made from the amalgamation of three cutting- edge technologies: Robotics, artificial intelligence, and automation. Automation provides them self-driving capabilities, helping them to patrol the perimeters of industries, malls, hospitals, and various other building by themselves. The robots are equipped with high-tech technologies for surveillance, processing, and protection, enabling better situational awareness. 23 July 2018|

26. Enhanced Surveillance- Technologies enabling improved 360 degree vision, night vision, etc. are fitted in the robots. This allows them to capture, stream, and store the data of the activities in the building perimeters easily. The robots can patrol the whole perimeter 24/7 without being tired. A security guard can access this data whenever required, with an added advantage of watching it on the hand-held devices. Robots also have techniques like face recognition, number plate recognition, and so on, incorporated in them along with a technique to detect pattern within the stored data. This helps in detecting any anomaly faster and ahead of time. Robots and people can work best when they work together. This partnership has various advantages like increased responsiveness and enhanced patrolling abilities. For maintaining the security of large areas, where numerous guards are required, robots can serve as “additional fleet on ground”, and with higher efficiency. With security robots in the team, human guards will be free from repetitive mundane tasks and can take up more strategic tasks. This new addition to the team of security officers comes bearing the gift of ease, accuracy, and safety. Perks of Security Robots They are Incorruptible- Robots cannot be swayed from their path and are bound to perform the ingrained task they are programmed to do. Unlike humans, they cannot be bought off as robots are not prone to greed. They are programmed to rigorously enforce the functions incorporated into them. Robots as Force Multipliers- Force multipliers are the tools of any kind that allow the user to do the same amount of work more efficiently and in less time. Robots can be it, for the existing security. They can increase the effectiveness, efficiency, and abilities to safeguard remote areas in the security team. Also, as robots are identical and have no different personalities than one another, a user need only learn to operate one. Enhanced Mobility- Due to the advantages of IoT, robots today are more mobile as compared to the robots a few decades back. Owing to their in-built navigation systems, the security robots can traverse large areas, placing themselves strategically in the geographical location to be secured. Not just this, with cameras and sensors, robots can navigate through complex and difficult terrain as well. They are Cost Effective- A single robot is capable of working all day and night with same concentration, which is equivalent to the work done by two or three human guards. This helps in cutting the cost, as investment in robot is less expensive than the workers’ wages. Robots are ‘Always ON’- A robot never sleeps, because it is never tired. It works with the same vigilance even after performing most monotonous jobs. It does not need breaks and can work in various temperature changes, without any effect on its efficiency. It produces a response to any situation within milliseconds, as long as its batteries are charged. Robots reduce the Risks for Human Security: The robots serve as the eyes and ears for the human guards, replacing them in difficult conditions and dangerous situations. They can even help in immediate evacuation of the area in case of a physical threat or industrial mishaps like chemical hazards, fire, etc. This helps in reducing the damage caused in such situations as well as risks for the security officers. “A security guard will usually do a twenty-minute round and then return to the control room where he will monitor the cameras. A robot can navigate a warehouse 24/7, doing the same round over and over, without ever getting bored or tired.”-Renato Cudicio, a seasoned IT and Robotics Security Manager. Like all other technologies that looked fiction before turning into a reality, humans will gradually get acquainted to their interaction with robots. In the security industry, the teaming up of humans and robots will make the existing security more effective as well as support new operational and functional developments further. Due to its clear advantage, more and more businesses are adopting this technology to improve their security and surveillance capabilities. It is not wrong to say that security robots will majorly influence the future of physical security industry. It is exciting to imagine what future developments in robotics will bring to the security industry as well as the world. Equipped with Nonlethal Weapons- Robots are equipped with limited nonlethal weapons including smoke emitters, Tasers, paint ball guns, and many more. Currently, robots are programmed not to tackle the recognized threats physically, but instead deploy the non-lethal weapons at the time and inform the human security officers. 24 July 2018|

30. Expert Talk W e are in the middle of trade war amongst most prosperous nations and economic powers. While every Country follows the policy nation first and wants to create jobs, set up local manufacturing to boost economy and cut down imports, are these the only reasons behind trade wars or there is more to it? Most of the times it is domestic political compulsions which drive these measures rather than economic considerations. In these circumstances countries have to prepare themselves to create industry friendly and conducive domestic environment to encourage local manufacture and increase per capita income to enable citizens to bear extra burden of tariffs. industry, improving business environment, reducing touch points with regulators and tax inspectors, addressing menace of corruption, etc. While lot has been done, many times more needs to be done. The Department of Industrial Promotion and Policy (DIPP) has launched an online portal to track implementation of reforms on real time basis and also formed EoDB Team, which is taking constant feedback from industry and passing on to concerned departments, monitoring key initiatives to map efficacy & impact and in case of need suggest mid-course correction to concerned authorities. People from all walks of life are invited for consultation on industry/ sector specific issues or key tax and regulatory issues with EoDB Team and feedback is passed on to concerned departments. With coming to power, Modi Government rolled out many initiatives to improve India's standing in international community, boost economy, create business friendly environment and non-adversarial tax administration. In addition, Make in India initiative, introduction of Goods and Service Tax (GST) and the Bankruptcy and Solvency Act, Liberalisation of FDI Policy, etc. has strengthened India’s position as preferred place to do business Implementation of GST from July 1, 2017, to replace large bouquet of taxes at Federal and State level, to create a unified market and give boost to foreign investment is one of the major indirect tax reforms this Country has seen. Creation of GST Council comprising of Federal and State Finance Minsters as members, is newly minted statutory body spearheading implementation of GST in India, which is a unique example of federalism in India. GST has not only improved supply chain but also removed cascading effect of taxes with widening of tax base. However, lot of challenges are being faced by industry upon migration to GST like – lack of clarity on many key provisions, regular Ease of Doing Business is critical pillar of Make in India initiative launched by the Government to encourage manufacturing in India. Concerted efforts by all stakeholders resulted in improving India’s ranking in World Banks' Ease of Doing Business Index from 130 to 100.

It is high time that Finance Ministry brings in some accountability in ensuring judicial discipline and reasonable approach by its own officers. On corruption front the Government has moved to e-filing and self-assessment significantly cutting down face time with inspectors and regulators. Further, significant amendments are proposed to the Prevention of Corruption Act to give it more teeth and reach. However, still we face daily grind of retail corruption, which needs be addressed sooner than later. On export-import front, Customs has introduced many initiatives to improve user experience including single window clearance, 24 X 7 clearance at key ports, revision of procedure of SVB investigations in case of related party transactions, reduction in number of documents to be filed, etc. While these efforts have improved clearance to certain extent yet colonial mindset of officers at ports is biggest challenge. Many time customs officers change settled classification, declared value is loaded without any reason, which disrupts business and causes considerable costs to industry in terms of delays coupled with loss of orders and increased cost of litigation. Even authorities functioning as quasi-judicial adjudicators, pass orders in utter disregard to judicial discipline and fair play. Fortunately, we have great While a beginning is made, sustained efforts at improving delivery of services and change of attitude of authorities from tax collectors and regulators to facilitators, ensuring speedy justice delivery system, improved infrastructure and easy availability of funds at reasonable costs would go a long way in ease of doing business in India and to realize the Prime Minister’s dream of India being amongst top 50 economies of world. 29 July 2018|

32. Editor’s Choice PRIVACY at your HANDS amera-equipped smartphones, laptops and other devices make it possible to share ideas and images with anyone, anywhere, often in real-time. But in our cameras-everywhere culture, the risk of accidentally leaking sensitive information is growing. C “There are more and more cameras every year. They’re incredibly useful,” said Landon Cox, an associate professor of computer science at Duke. “But the downside is we’re now converting large swaths of our surroundings to a digital format that’s easy to access and share, including things we might not want to be digitizing.” Computer scientists at Duke University have developed software that helps prevent inadvertent disclosure of trade secrets and other restricted information within a camera’s field of view by letting users specify what others can see. The simplest way to ensure privacy is to disable the camera or microphone when sensitive information is in the frame, Cox said. A video chat with collaborators, customers or suppliers outside of the office, for example, could reveal confidential product plans drawn on a whiteboard in the background, or sales figures or source code on nearby computer screens. But rather than all or nothing, the researchers wanted to give users more granular control over which objects in the camera's view are shared and which are kept private. Prior efforts to safeguard confidential information in photos and video use a “blacklist” approach. Developers anticipate things that users might want to hide, and build software that blurs or masks them in each frame. Using a smartphone to scan a receipt for expense purposes could also expose portions of meeting notes, pill bottles, and other personal items on your desk. 30 July 2018|

34. But coming up with an exhaustive list of potentially troublesome objects is virtually impossible. “Things that some people consider sensitive might not be sensitive to you,” said assistant professor of computer science Ashwin Machanavajjhala, who co-authored the research. “It’s hard to build something that covers all possible scenarios.” “The key challenges in designing these systems were to ensure that the marking process was easy for the users, and that detecting public regions did not slow down the camera output or the smartphone,” Machanavajjhala said. In one user study, the researchers asked 26 people to use Android smartphones to scan QR codes—the square-shaped barcodes that are becoming increasingly popular in ads—with and without the new security features. The participants rated the speed and ease of the cameras on the “secure” smartphones on par with unmodified smartphones. Even for objects that security technology has blacklisted in advance, building software that detects and conceals them quickly and consistently under changing light conditions and motion-induced blur has proven challenging. “Even if it fails just 1 or 2 per cent of the time, it’s not secure,” said co-author Animesh Srivastava, a graduate student at Duke. The team also tested their security software on videos shot when the camera was in motion. They found they could reliably safeguard sensitive regions while still delivering 24 frames per second, fast enough for human eyes to perceive a smooth moving picture rather than a flickering image on a screen. So the team tried a different strategy. Instead of relying on a developer’s best guesstimate of which objects should be “public” and which should be “private,” the researchers set things up so that the user makes that determination. And instead of choosing what to hide, the user chooses what to reveal. This isn’t the ultimate solution to image privacy protection, Machanavajjhala said. The software doesn’t protect things caught by cameras outside a person’s control, for example. If you’re just walking around on the street, and you want to ensure that your face isn’t captured, this won’t work, he said. “If we get it right, hopefully it will lead to something that’s more secure and easier to use,” Cox said. The researchers presented two examples of their approach on June 28 at the 14th International Conference on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services (MobiSys 2016) in Singapore. But in the future, the team hopes their research will encourage technology companies to design and develop products that give users more privacy when it comes to their own devices. One is designed to protect sensitive information on two- dimensional surfaces such as whiteboards and computer presentation slides. In the meantime, they are looking into ways of giving users similarly fine-grained privacy controls over audio recordings in addition to images, by allowing third parties to hear only certain voices, words or noises in an audio stream, for example. In both cases, users select the part of a scene that is OK to share by drawing a rectangular border around it, either by hand or with a few clicks of a mouse. “People are going to want some way to control the information that things like microphones and motion detectors and other sensors have access to in a much smarter way than just turning them on or off,” Cox said. “These kinds of issues are going to be really important to figure out over the next decade.” Once it knows what it’s looking for, the software intercepts all incoming frames from the video stream and rapidly scans frame by frame for a match using computer vision technology. Only authorized objects are allowed to pass from the camera to third-party software, like smartphone apps. Everything else is blocked out by default. 32 July 2018|

42. Security Robots The use of security robots for physical security and surveillance operations are expected to be one of the next big things in security industry. Robots are already been used in manufacturing industries for transporting special containers of several hundred kilograms and delivering supplies from store room to the manufacturing wards. The concept of security robots are now being used in the world, Knightscope K5, a security robot designed to patrol malls, campuses, and parking lots, replacing the need for human security guards. technologies that can performs autonomous security tasks such as crime deterrence, situational awareness and chasing criminals, and more. Now, drones provide highly advanced surveillance with extraordinary features such as night vision, no-line-of-sight operation, autonomous operation, and behavioral detection. Moreover, the military drones can stay in the air the hours for hours or days at a time. Such drones with high-tech cameras can scan entire cities and almost read easily anything from the almost 60,000 feet. This unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drone technology will shape the physical security sector. Artificial Intelligence for Facial and Behavioral Recognition Artificial intelligence is now widely used to do almost everything from predicting the weather to piloting autonomous cars and more. AI is now being applied to video surveillance systems that promise to prevent criminal activity by predicting prominent criminal offenses. There are some AI software which monitors people in real-time and observes micro-expressions that can belie a person’s wicked intentions. These technologies can be used to recognize certain behavioral patterns and capture faces against criminal databases. It also helps to improve efficiency and ensure staff safety and reduce the potential for unauthorized access to certain areas. UHD Surveillance Cameras Ultra-high definition (UHD) surveillance cameras are widely used as they provide a significant improvement and clearer images. The traditional CCTV cameras often provide blurry results without a variety of different features other than filming and recording. UHD cameras can offer 4K image resolutions and can come with features such as motion detection and night vision modes. Such security camera videos help to see things clearly almost 20 meters away with clarity and details like the plate number of moving cars and the people's facial features and more. Organizations and enterprises have started using such multiple connected UHD cameras for their security operations and this trend seems likely to continue in future. Cloud based Video Surveillance This system allows users to store, record, play, manage, and monitor surveillance footage in the cloud. In cloud based video surveillance, the IP cameras are installed at the desired location and users can access footage or cameras from anywhere at any time through a desktop, laptop or mobile device. Specially, for small and medium businesses, cloud-based solutions have surged in popularity as cloud based security systems is more efficient and more affordable. It can store more data and is more secured, more efficient and more affordable. Moreover, with the tamper detection feature on IP surveillance camera can send an alert notification when the camera is tampered with. If someone hit the camera down or blocking its view, the notification will be sent to log into the video management system and check the camera immediately to see what happened. Data Analytics Today, Big Data, Internet of Things and physical security are inseparably connected. Predictive data analytics in physical security allows organizations to get all the physical security data in organized way beyond traditional reporting and can be used to predict physical security operations and possible security risks. Manual analysis of such huge data from the various security systems to detect the incidents can be a time consuming exercise. Security organizations need is to leverage the data analytics in security processes and operations to get actionable results and comprehensive insights. Predictive Security analytics allows predicting and preventing possible threats based on contextual analysis of data from multiple security devices and systems. Exciting new technologies are changing the world of safety and security. These technologies are exponentially superior and have significant capabilities to give the best outcomes and will certainly make a difference as far as security is concerned. Drone Surveillance Systems Drone is a perfect air surveillance option and is truly a game changing technology in the Physical Security industry.
