The surge in recruitment to radical groups is a serious concern for the UK which
has been emphasised by events earlier this year, where young British citizens
travelled to Syria to fight next to and support Islamic State. This particular
problem needs action in the fifth domain the internet. On page 15 Paul Stokes
highlights how data analytics can help assist in countering online recruitment.
Following Januarys terrorist attacks in Paris, the French Capital has
witnessed a steep rise in the Global Alerts Dashboard, an online mapping
and data portal which categorises locations at extreme risk of terrorist
threat. On page 19, Jason McGeown of Verisk Maplecroft analyses
global urban centres that are deemed risky and how organisations can
enhance risk management capabilities through digital platforms.
Will the current Government commit to spend two per cent of GDP on the
military? As well as US defence secretary Ashton Carter, the question is
being asked by various Tory MPs and former heads of NATO. See Defence
News on page 73. Also, the UKs biggest display of military exhibition takes
place at Londons ExCeL Centre on 15-18 September. Check out a sneak
preview to the DSEI show on page 77. More to come in our next issue.

CYBER SECURITY
More than 30 countries have signed up for the Safe Schools Declaration, which aims to stop
war and terror attacks deliberately targeting schools and educational facilities.
The Global Coalition to Protect Eduction from Attack (GCPEA) held a conference on
29May in Oslo, Norway, during which over 30 countries signed up to the declaration, which
pledges to adopt The Guidelines for Protecting Schools and Universities from Military
Use during Armed Conflict. Countries who have signed the declaration want to protect
both students and teachers from deliberate attacks and establish protected status for
schoolbuildings, so they cannot be used as barracks or for any other military purposes. The
declaration comes after attacks on a school in Peshawar Pakistan last December, where 132
students and nine teachers died. The GCPEA also report that schools in at least 70 countries
have been attacked between 2009 and 2014. READ MORE: tinyurl.com/of6nqp7

DE-RADICALISATION
The war on terror approach has had
another indirect but not less damaging
implications. Sweeping definitions of terrorism
have invariably justified violations of long
established international norms, human rights,
and freedom of expression in the name of
security. As Mr. Ban Ki-moon warned during
a summit hosted by the United States on
countering violent extremism last February
in Washington D.C: Governments should
not use the fight against terrorism and
extremism as a pretext to attack ones critics.
In many parts of the world, legitimate
actions of opposition groups, includingcivil
society organisations and human
rightsdefenders have been criminalised in the
name of countering terrorism. Through such
actions we have provided violent extremists
seeking to recruit youth into their violent
organisations with the very ammunition they
need. This goes along way towards explaining
the migration of more than 25,000 foreign
fighters from more than 100 countries around
the world to join the Islamic State or ISIL
since the beginning of the upheavals in the
Arab World war in early 2011. At least 6,000
of those foreign fighters come from Western
Europe, where the motivation for joining such
a terrorist group remains little understood.
REVERSING CURRENT STRATEGIES
There is a need to reverse our current
strategies if we are to win the fight against
terrorism. First and for most, there is a
need to restore trust, legitimacy, respect for
international law and human rights, freedom
of expression, and, above all, the promotion

DATA ANALYTICS
REACHING OUT
The government has been rightly concerned
about the increasing radicalisation of young
people and the ease and speed at which
terrorists are infiltrating ordinary communities
to exploit vulnerable people. Alarmingly, those
choosing to become foreign fighters are not
part of organised criminal gangs; thanks
tosocial media, terrorist groups now reach
ordinary individuals everywhere.
Social networks have created a
multibilliondollar industry and allowed us
to share experiences much more widely than
previous generations. But they can have a dark
side. The platforms have long been misused
by bullies and child abusers but they are
also now being employed very successfully
by media savvy extremists. Potential recruits
are aggressively targeted, particularly people
with violent backgrounds, the very young
and those with mental health issues, the
Metropolitan Police Service has said. Jihadis
are thought to be sending up to 100,000
Twitter messages a day to plot terrorism.
Withno single controlling authority and no
rule book, social media is the new Wild West.
The reach and radicalisation by ISIS is
growing not just in the UK but acrossthe
globe in fact, the total number of
foreign fighters inside Syria and Iraq
has now exceeded 20,000. The Islamic
States is employing expert use of social
media to recruit and radicalise youth
from around the world creating a new
generation of digital native extremists.
A CHANGE IN MINDSET
Modern, cyber warfare requires a change
in mindset and legal toolkit as we see
a swing from traditional, ground-based
crime to the online environment. Its been
a rapid shift and needs an equally rapid
reaction from governments. Fortunately,
an increasing number are starting to
recognise that the internet has become
that fifth domain and that, while clearly
doing much good, it needs boundaries.
The Extremism Bill offers a controlled
approach and not a universal right
to know for the police, which should
provide some reassurance of its limitations
in terms of surveillance while allowing
police greater access to the data that
will illuminate genuinely at-risk areas.
THE LAW
Law enforcement agencies need to be able
to access online communications to prevent
those exploiting social media to recruit and
radicalise youth. Monitoring suspicious
behaviour does of course itself need to be
done with clear guidance and strict legal
oversight but it does still need to be possible.
The new law would require internet service
providers to keep a detailed, traceable log of
individual activity in case it is requested in an
investigation. However, without the resources
to analyse such vast amounts of data,

International Affairs
MOVING FORWARD
The points I have detailed above are not
show-stoppers, far from it, they are platforms
from which contingency and operational
plans can evolve. We now have a baseline
to develop corporate and training plans
which can grow and engage within local
communities. Consider within plans that,
unlike the West, it is not viable to rely upon
local national government forces for support,
therefore organisations must develop
individual robust and workable plans.
Where new-build complexes are being
developed, safe rooms, fire-fighting and
escapes along with practical security and
protection methods should be considered and
information relating to building infrastructure
should be protected; both In Amenas and
Westgate attacks benefited from insider
knowledge. Engage local communities
withsecurity, fire-fighting and medical training
and extend corporate facilities to support
the community should a local emergency
arise. Local engagement is key to success.
Having worked across perhaps a quarter
of Africa on and off for roughly 15 years,I
encourage organisations to overcome
their fears and seek to develop business
opportunities. Companies that scope
well and understand the challenges will
undoubtedly reap business reward. Bringing
organisations to Africa can lead to growth,
developments and benefits at all levels
from community to government.

MONITORING POWERS
Cyber Security
Professor Mike Jackson, IT and cyber security expert at Birmingham City Universitys Business School,
examines the proposed Investigatory Powers Bill and asks what this means for public privacy
The Queens Speech announced new monitoring
powers to tackle terrorism. This proposed
bill entitled the Investigatory Powers Bill
has its roots in the Communication Data Bill
(nicknamed the Snoopers Charter) which
the government intended to introduce in the
2012-13 Parliamentary session. The Snoopers
Charter was eventually dropped due to
opposition from the Liberal Democrats. The
details of the new bill are not fully known
as yet but it is believed that it will give the
police and security forces even greater powers
than those set out in the 2012 draft.
What will almost certainly appear in the
new bill is the requirement for Internet Service
Providers (ISPs) and mobile phone operators
to record the activities of subscribers. A record
of texts, emails and phone call will be held
for at least a year. This rule will apply to all

MONITORING POWERS
PREVENTING TERRORISM
The government will justify the impositionof
these powers as a means of preventing
terrorism and ensuring the security of the
country. There will be opposition from
a number of groups who are concerned
that UK citizens will be losing their right
to privacy. In the past this has always
come from left leaning organisations.
Recently, however is clear that right of
centre figures such as Rand Paul are seeing
laws like this as evidence that the nanny
state is interfering too much in peoples
lives. Senator Paul successfully blocked
the extension of the Patriot Act which
was regarded as the USs equivalent of
the Snoopers Charter. Subsequently, an
actknown as the Freedom Act which grants
the government more limitedpowers
than those set out in the Patriot Act
has been passed by the US congress.
Unless the Conservative Party contains
a significant number of MPs who have
views which coincide with Senator
Pauls, the Home Secretary should not
experience any problems in steering the
Investigatory Powers Bill through the
House of Commons. Although the Liberal
Democrats have indicated they mightoppose
it, it is not clear that Labour would.
The proverbial man or woman on the
Clapham omnibus would tend to side with
the assertion that the proposals are necessary
for the protection of the country and do
not cause too great a threat to the privacy
of the individual. The general assumption
would be that people who have nothing to
hide have nothing to fear from this bill.

COLLABORATION
KEY TO ENSURING
SAFER CITIES
A FRESH APPROACH
Collaboration and joined-up thinking between
police and the private security industry is
key to ensuring the long-term safety and
security of British cities, and building a closer
relationship between the two is the focus of a
new project being developed across London.
The Police and Security (PaS) Group
Initiative was launched at Londons City
Hall in December 2014, with the aim of
becoming a critical friend to the Met Police
in developing mutually effective collaboration
with the private sector. The key pillars
to this activity include building effective
collaboration, overcoming barriers and sharing
best practice between the Metropolitan
Police, private security suppliers, existing
crime reduction partnerships and local
businesses. Partners involved in the project
include the Metropolitan Police, the British
Security Industry Association, London First,
the Security Industry Authority and the City
Security and Resilience Networks (CSARN).
So what is PaS and what can it achieve?
The list of attendees and presentations
at its launch on 1 December at City Hall
gavean indication. It was attended by the
MPS regional borough Senior Points of
Contact(SPOC)s for business crime, and a
wide range of both private security providers
and security managers who together
represent the Private Security capability
in London, all of which have potential
to collaborate closely with the police.

Customer Challenge
In light of security challenges around the globe, cities are under increased pressure to provide a safe
environment for their businesses and residents. Forward-thinking municipalities are proactively taking
steps to assure they are doing everything possible to maintain the security of their citizens while not
encroaching on the aspects that make city life appealing to residents and corporations alike.
Leveraging its strength in public sector technology solutions, a multination technology and consulting
company secured an assignment to develop and implement a security system for a major metropolitan
city. The challenge: not just deploy surveillance cameras throughout the citys business districtone of the
largest in the U.S.but also seamlessly integrate them into the recent beautification efforts without
sacrificing security.
The company turned to an alliance partner, Anixter, for assistance with the complex infrastructure required.
Program Scope
The citys goals for the program were to increase security, increase visibility with their 9-1-1 call center,
make its businesses and citizens safer, provide surveillance to prevent problems before they occurred and
help with its disaster readiness program. Given their expertise in the communications and security field,
Anixter provided the technology proof of concept required for the project. After reviewing Anixters
proposal, the citys participating divisions, including the Mayors Office, eagerly gave the green light to
move forward, but with an important caveat. Since the work was being done in the citys business district,
the actual installation of the cameras and necessary infrastructure could only take place between 7 p.m.
and 5 a.m. to minimize the impact on business.
Anixter Solution
Anixter and the company worked together to specify the products necessary to meet the security project
requirements. To fulfill the products specified, the company developed customized housings that
contained the necessary infrastructure to make the cameras work and included key components such as
Ethernet ports and wireless access points. The company chose Anixter not only for its technical expertise,
but also for its ability to serve as a single source for all the required infrastructure products.
Program Results
Within a few days of installation, the cameras went online. Despite being operational for just under a
year, the security system is already paying big dividends. Recently, the city held a disaster readiness drill
that demonstrated the systems ability to provide more eyes on the street than if it was relying on the
police force alone.
To date, the city is pleased with how the system is working. In fact, Anixter has already assisted in
deploying additional cameras in other high traffic areas throughout the city including sports stadiums,
museums, parks and other popular city attractions. In all, some 1,500 cameras are planned to be
installed as additional Homeland Security funds, which are the citys primary source of funding for the
program, become available.
This highly visible video surveillance project combined Anixters breadth of technical expertise in
infrastructure and security products and Anixters READY!SM Deployment Services with the companys
design expertise. At the end of the day, Anixter was able to deliver a unique, customized solution to the
city and its customer on time and on budget.
Working on such a high profile project requires the expertise and professionalism that we have come to
count on from Anixter, said a Technology Solutions Architect at the company. More than just a partner, in
many ways they operate as an extension of our technology adoption area by anticipating our needs and
providing sensible, cost-effective solution.

SECURITY INTEGRATION
SECURITY INTEGRATION
BECOMES VIRAL
The ever increasing integration of human, physical and electronic security measures is gathering
pace on the crest of a technological tidal wave, an ever-evolving terror threat, government
demands and the day-to-day expectations of consumers, argues Chris Primley of Zaun
I watched my wife doing our weekly food shop
on her phone from the comfort of a coffee
shop the other day and perversely thought
how far security integration had come and
how far it may yet go in the next year or two.
Her expectations, and those of consumers
in general, that we should all be able to run
our lives from a single personal electronic
interface is one of the drivers of progress, as is
the advancement of technology and the everevolving terrorist threat and government and
legislators expectations flowing from that.
Many advances in the areas of sensors,
encryption and intelligent video tied to
access control have been made as a direct
result of requirements published by the
US Department of Homeland Security.
Meanwhile the UKs Centre for the
Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI)
held its first manufacturers training day a
few months ago on a new Cyber Assurance
of Physical Security Systems standard. CPNIs
advice covers physical, personnel and cyber
security and information assurance and how
best to integrate these physical, human and
electronic elements to maximum effect.
Rapid technological development and
the increased adoption of internet-based
services throughout business and society
as a whole have also led to an increased
expectation of, and ability in, unifying systems.
PHYSICAL SECURITY TECHNOLOGY
So the security market now demands more
joined-up physical security technology, with
integration of security fencing and lighting,
access control, PIDs and intruder alarms, CCTV
and video analytics and guard patrols and
security control rooms now commonplace.
In the search for greater security
control, enhanced employee safety and
operational cost savings, some businesses
have taken it further by integrating
fire-fighting systems, building services
controls such as lighting, air conditioning
and lifts, and even business information
systems and human resource records.
In such cases, the various facets work
directly together to improve the overall
management of a facility and make it
considerably simpler and more efficient.
This has been facilitated through the
development of systems and software that are
capable of administering and simplifying the
operators task of running multiple functions
42
GREATER INTEGRATION
If an alarm is triggered, video can
automatically be sent to mobile phones,
PDAs, laptops or other devices so that
security can decide how best to respond.
Integrated video and alarms systems can
help immediately target security breaches
so that any 24-hour onsite patrol can react
quickly and prevent property loss, or worse.
Access control systems can be programmed
to lock certain areas of the facility to
confine any search for the perpetrator.
Often a fire alarm is the first system to
activate. In a modern integrated system this
can alert a control room and if necessary
escalate the warning automatically to the
emergency services, letting them know
who is on site before they arrive and
even any special medical needs. CCTV
can also be used to see if people are
trapped or areas are potentially dangerous
before emergency services arrive and
without putting their lives at risk.
In short, the greater the integration,
the better able everyone is to build
more effective security plans and
architectures, respond more quickly and
appropriately to security threats and
breaches and ultimately protect people
and property better than ever. L

engagement with the media and through
them the public would provide concrete
evidence of how the public perceives and
understands threats which will enable the
profession to develop effective communication
strategies for its dealings with the public.
And the security profession certainly
does have a strong basis for establishing a
meaningful dialogue with the public. One of
the words we use within the profession is
convergence, yet this means nothing to the
man or woman in the street. What they do
understand are specific threats that impact
on them and it should be possible to use
any of the risk areas below as the basis for
the kind of conversations that will transform
our relationships with the public at large.
CYBER SECURITY
Cyber security is something constantly
encountered by everyone and represents
the epitome of a target-rich environment;
individuals, organisations and government
institutions must negotiate a daily obstacle
course to avoid damaging attacks on
theintegrity of their data, their businesses
and their lives. Increasingly threats will
betargeted and customised. Cyber
security will be engaged in a perpetual
battle where it is either one step ahead or
one step behind the latest threats. Cyber
security brings risk into every home.
PHYSICAL WORLD THREATS
Physical world threats that have emerged
within the 21st Century are the proliferation
of affordable advanced technology,
theincreasing diversity of threats and the
globalisation of security threats. These
three have combined to make the world a
much smaller place than it was, with those
seeking to harm us often capable of doing
so hidden from our eyes and acting from
great distances. This represents a permanent
change to the nature of risk and requires
responses that the public must buy into.
Increased levels of threat from terrorism and
crime have resulted in greater spending on

SHOP ALERT
Shop Alert provides the ability to communicate
instantly with retail units and has become the
tool of choice for the management of many
shopping centres throughout the UK.
It offers speedy, secure and robust majorincident management but most importantly
its easy to use. There are huge challenges
facing owners and managers of crowded
places in co-ordinating their resources in
the event of a major incident such as a
terrorist attack. The dreadful scenes in the
Nairobi shopping centre in Kenya heightened
awareness of the possibility of a firearms
terrorist-attack in a UK shopping centre.
So the ability to provide bespoke and
detailed instructionsinstantlyto the till point
of each individual retailer greatly improves
the flow of information for managing safe and
effective evacuation.
The increased use of IP networks in shopping
centres, and the introduction of the all-new
Shop Alert 20 20 touch screen keypad, has
also enabled the system to evolve with a new
suite of apps with real operational, marketing
and enhanced-security benefits. Whilst
not compromising the proven operational
simplicity that has been the cornerstone of its
success, Shop Alert 20 20 provides a platform
for the provision of tailored solutions to a
whole new range of security, operational,
marketing and commercial requirements.
Unlike most of the cellular, smartphonebased communication systems, Shop Alert
cannot be turned off, run out of charge, be
left at home, lost, stolen, leave with an exemployee, affected by poor coverage or turned
off in a bomb-threat situation. It also cant
forward sensitive communication to social
media sites via the same device.
When an emergency communication system is
susceptible to all these scenarios, then can it
really be classed as smart?
Shop Alert is a simple, speedy, secure and
robust major-incident management system. L

of the threat faced, whilst many topics in
the Forensics Conference explored how to
investigate such incidents should they occur.
Rob Lozowski, event manager said of FEE

lots of exciting developments lined up for the
2016 edition of the show which we will be
announcing over the coming months.
FORENSIC SEMINARS
The expo hosted a free-toattend complete
seminar theatre programme running
throughout the two days of the show.
The programme was carefully constructed
to demonstrate the latest case studies
and showcase the latest products and
services available to the market.As a
visitor, this proved to be a must attend
opportunity to help compare and contrast
top international suppliers and to cross

COMMUNITY
DSEI attracts the largest international
community from defence and security
sectors. The last event, which was held in
2013, attracted over 32,000 visitors, 156
programmed delegations from 56 countries
and over 2,800 global VIPs who met with
1,489 exhibitors from 54 countries. The 2015
event is being planned as a forum where
top figures from established and emerging
nations in the defence community will
be invited to describe how co-operation,
ranging from joint operations to strategic
alliances, is transforming the ability to
counter threats to peace and security.
Many delegates use their attendance at DSEI
to hold bilateral and multi-lateral talks and
some choose to share their views more widely,
providing valuable insights into matters of
global concern. DSEIs truly international
scope enables companies and individuals to
build relationships, forge partnerships and
access new markets by bringing key
countries and entire geographical
regions as well as specialist
sectors all in one place.
The event is expected to
host over40 dedicated
pavilions which will host
international exhibitions
with 39 countries
being represented.
This year Latvia,
Lithuania, Poland,
Malaysia and Greece
will be making their debut
with others returning to do
business in a global market.
DSEI event director Duncan
Reid explained why, at a time when Asia,
the Middle East and South America are
expanding their defence and security
capabilities, a European based show will
be the appropriate venue for this important
debate. He said: While major new markets
have emerged, Europe is still a significant
player in defence and security procurement
and supply. It is also a highly important
engine for the development of the key
technologies that are increasingly being
adopted by emerging markets via technology
transfer and licensing agreements.
He continued: The effectiveness of
combined operations is demonstrated by
the complementary nature of DSEI and
Eurosatory, mirroring the Franco-British
drive towards a Combined Joint Task Force.
Both events cover land systems and security,
however, DSEI also includes the air and
