UNV thermographic fever screening solution

As the emergence spreading globally and the cases of Coronavirus rapid growing in Europe, the national economy in each country is hit hard. Thus resumption of work and production as well as back to school becomes serious challenge to economic recovery currently. For this epidemic situation, abnormal body temperature is one of the symptoms of pneumonia, it is essential to effectively detect and control the flow of people from areas with high incidence of the epidemic.

In order to help organizations respond to the epidemic situation, Uniview recently releases the latest thermographic fever screening products and solutions which will make a fast preliminary human skin-surface temperature screening without any contact and better to prevent infection from entrance area.

For the UNV newly thermographic fever screening solution, it consists of optical & thermal bi-spectrum camera, blackbody, AI NVR and tripods, which is an all- in- one delivery solution with easy to install and available for rapid and temporary deployment. The bi-spectrum camera adopts 4MP 1/8 inch optical sensor and 384*288 thermal detector to provide clearer image and measure temperature differences in people entering the field of view, besides the camera is built in mic and speaker and red & blue alarm flash light which is easy to warn personnel on site when cases happen. UNV solution uses blackbody device to help calibrate the temperature measurement, making it more accurate and stable especially in less controlled environments where the elements can influence the reading. At the back-end, the AI NVR will allow two bi-spectrum cameras to access in and record simultaneously, and it can provide intuitive demonstration interface to visually display temperature status, mask wearing status, abnormal (elevated) temperature counts, not wearing mask counts and total counts, etc. Moreover, in this smart solution, AI technology ensures thermographic cameras only detect human skin-surface temperature based on face detection, which will filter false alarm caused by other heat source, such as hot water or food.

With its sophisticated component in hardware and excellent performance in image and software, UNV thermographic fever screening solution can support no more than ±0.3℃（with blackbody）deviation at recommended range of 3~6 meters, and be widely applied to multiple scenes such as schools, hospitals, commercial buildings, transportation hubs, etc.

Cisco to acquire security company ThousandEyes

Cisco Systems announced that it intends to acquire ThousandEyes, a security-software company, reportedly for close to $1 billion.

San Francisco-based ThousandEyes is an interesting startup, that has made a name for itself with its service that watches pretty much the whole internet to help companies figure out the source of performance problems of websites and web-based apps. For instance, it can determine if an outage is the company’s fault or that of its service providers.

While Cisco wouldn’t say what it plans to pay, ThousandEyes has raised a total of about $111 million with an estimated valuation of $670 million as of February 2019, according to Pitchbook. Bloomberg previously reported that the deal could be valued at “nearly” $1 billion.

On March 5, ThousandEyes reported that it had $100 million worth of revenue under contract for its 2020 fiscal year — representing growth of almost 80% year-over-year.

“The combination of Cisco and ThousandEyes will enable deeper and broader visibility to pinpoint deficiencies and improve the network and application performance across all networks,” said Cisco executive Todd Nightengale.

Bloomberg News reported earlier in the day that the deal was in the works and could be completed Thursday, with a price tag approaching $1 billion. Cisco did not disclose the purchase price. Cisco expects the deal to close before the end of its fiscal first quarter, which begins in August.

ID & access segment drives managed security services market

A new report from Marketsandmarkets on the managed security services market to 2025 projects the sector to grow from USD 31.6 billion in 2020 to USD 46.4 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 8.0% during the forecast period.

The rising instances of security breaches and increasing number of attacks that pose a threat to large and small organisational systems are anticipated to be the major market drivers. The need to adopt necessary steps in advance for securing the overall security posture and technological advancements in cloud and IoT has bolstered potential use cases across verticals.

Managed security services (MSS) are proactive security measures tailored according to the need and ever-evolving security landscape of organisations. These services include continuous monitoring and analysis, advanced technology, network assessment, and application and security specialists to advice stakeholders in organisations. Managed Identity and Access Management (IAM) helps in driving automation, managing consumer identities, and establishing a risk-based approach, among others. Some of the companies are integrating technologies such as robotics with IAM. single sign-on (SSO) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) are the two most common systems used in IAM. Hence, the managed IAM segment is expected to be a larger segment during the forecast perioed.

Fastest growth in healthcare vertical
The banking, financial Services, and insurance (BFSI) vertical is expected to dominate the MSS market with the largest market size, while the healthcare vertical is the fastest-growing vertical during the forecast period. MSS are expected to help the BFSI vertical in keeping the confidentiality of sensitive data, which will, in turn, help in maintaining the overall security posture. The biggest advantage of using MSS in the BFSI vertical is 24/7/365 monitoring, which results in immediate incident response and remediation in case of a security breach. The BFSI vertical is very careful about the security of the sensitive data of its customers. Hence, for enhancing the protection of online services from cyber attacks, companies operating in the BFSI vertical are adopting MSS .

In the healthcare vertical, MSS such as medical device penetration testing, network segmentation for medical equipment, device inventory and risk analysis, and medical device risk assessments will play an integral role in securing entities related to patients as well as hospital data. Moreover, MSS also helps healthcare organisations comply with stringent Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliances.

Highest market share in Asia Pacific
Geographically speaking Asia Pacific is predicted to hold the highest market share during the forecast period. Technological advancements such as cloud, 5G, and IoT have led SMEs and large enterprises in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region to largely rely on MSS. Also, stringent government regulations on adopting security measures, cyber security incidents, and cloud technology adoption are driving the adoption of MSS in the region. Major vendors covered by the Marketsandmarkets analysts in the managed security services report include IBM, AT&T, NTT Data, Secureworks, DXC Technology, BT Security, Atos, Infosys, Verizon, Cognizant, Cipher Security, Wipro, Accenture, Optiv Security, Trustwave, The Herjavec Group, Centurylink, Kudelski, and Nuspire.

Bosch gears up to make over 10 million face masks per month

Dr. Volkmar Denner, chairman of the board of management of Robert Bosch GmbH, recently launched the first special production line for face masks at the Bosch plant in Stuttgart-Feuerbach. “Containing coronavirus is a challenge for society as a whole. By equipping our associates with masks we make ourselves, we are helping to relieve the burden on the market. Moreover, we are doing the groundwork that will enable us to safely resume operations and protect our associates,” Denner says.

Following a coordinated ramp-up that will run until the end of June, the company will make over half a million masks a day on five production lines at four locations worldwide. The lines were designed by Bosch’s special-purpose machinery unit. Bosch is making the design plans available to interested companies free of charge. Bosch has already received inquiries from over 30 companies regarding the designs of the special production line.

Bosch designs a production line for face masks
In combination with other hygiene measures, face masks are an effective means of reducing the risk of new Covid-19 infections. Developed by Bosch’s special-purpose machinery unit in just a few weeks, identical, fully automated production lines for face masks are now being set up at several company locations. In addition to the lead plant for Industry 4.0 in Stuttgart-Feuerbach, where two lines are planned, mask production will be ramped up at the Bosch locations in Naganathapura, India, and Juárez, Mexico, in successive weeks. A facility at the Rexroth plant in Erbach, Germany, will round off the manufacturing network. Overall, by the end of June, the production volume of the five lines is set to exceed ten million masks a month.

Relieving supply bottlenecks
The face covering is primarily intended to impede the spread of pathogens from the wearer’s nose and throat. At the same time, the mask acts as a barrier to bodily fluids produced by people in the immediate vicinity. Bosch is manufacturing surgical mask types I and II, which comply with the European DIN EN 14683 standard, and will use them mainly to protect its roughly 400,000 associates worldwide. Bosch wants to make any excess capacity available to third parties, provided there is demand and the masks satisfy country-specific standards.

Furthermore, Bosch is making the designs, technical drawings, and assembly instructions of the lines available to other companies free of charge, as well as information about how the masks are packaged and distributed. “Our special production lines give us greater independence, since masks can be made directly on site, right where they are needed,” Denner says. Bosch’s special-purpose machinery unit offers interested companies expert advice and supplies complete systems on request. “Bosch is responding to coronavirus by developing technology. We are contributing our innovative strength and extensive manufacturing expertise,” says Rolf Najork, the Bosch management board member responsible for industrial technology.

Security Essen 2020 is cancelled

The international trade fair Security Essen planned for 22-25 September 2020 – Europe’s biggest security exhibition – is cancelled due to the unforeseeable developments of the Corona crisis.

The decision to cancel the fair was taken by Messe Essen in close consultation with the partner associations. The next Security Essen will take place at Messe Essen from September 20 to 23, 2022.

No other choice

Security Essen is a biennial event, taking place every two years.

“The anticipation of this year’s edition and the new concept of Security Essen was great among all those involved, and so all the more difficult for us to decide to cancel the fair”, explains Oliver P. Kuhrt, Managing Director of Messe Essen. “However, the current dynamic situation and the continuing global travel restrictions unfortunately do not permit serious preparations for the fair. As a result, our exhibitors and visitors and also we as the organisers lack the planning perspective which would have been a prerequisite for the customary professional staging of Security Essen this September.”

“The cancellation of Security Essen 2020 is the result of a prudent and careful evaluation of the current situation which we have undertaken together”, adds Norbert Schaaf, Chairman of the Management Board of the Federal Association of Safety Engineering (BHE) and Chairman of the Security Essen Advisory Board. “Since the majority of our fair participants come to Essen from abroad, we had to act with particular prudence. Due to the unclear worldwide development of the Coronavirus pandemic and the associated uncertain travel planning, there was unfortunately no alternative in the end.”

Enormous economic challenge

Dr. Harald Olschok, General Manager of the Federal Association of the Security Industry (BDSW) and member of the Security Essen Advisory Board agrees:

“From the perspective of our member companies, the decision to cancel Security Essen is fully understandable. Personally, I regret this very much, because it would have been my 15th and last Security Essen as Chief Executive of BDSW and BDGW. But for the security service providers, the Corona crisis represents an enormous economic challenge. I am sure that the management and the entire team of BDSW and BDGW with their affiliated member companies are looking forward to Security Essen 2022 – then under better economic conditions.”

Data is critical to your business, so physical security for servers is more important than ever

London, May 2020 – Businesses, large and small, create data which needs protecting, whether in an onsite server room or co-located at a data centre. When you imagine a corporate data breach, you’re probably picturing black-hat hackers pursued by cybercrime investigators. The reality is often more mundane. Only around a half of breaches involve hacking, according to one recent report*. Gaps in the physical security your data and servers are equally important targets.

Perhaps your company director leaves her laptop on the train. Or an unauthorized visitor spots open server racks and quickly downloads records onto his smartphone. Or maybe your server room access control is left entirely to lock-and-key technology which you cannot easily track.

Securing sensitive data needs the involvement of every member in an organization, from top to bottom. But physically protecting servers and data stores is the heart of the security and IT manager’s role.

How much could a data breach cost you?
In the absence of appropriate physical server security, the mundane can be dangerous — and expensive. Recent research for IBM by the Ponemon Institute estimates the average total cost of a data breach at $3.86 million (€3.57 million)**. According to the same benchmark report, this average is rising, by 6.4% in the last year alone. Some of the highest breach costs are borne by companies in Europe, including Germany, France, Italy and the UK.

Such costs can be direct: in business disruption, lost mailing lists or disabled logistics software. They can be indirect: an erosion of customer trust and damaged “brand equity”. Hard-earned goodwill and positive reputations are quickly reversed.

Costs also come from fines levied by government and supranational regulators. As Big Data gets bigger, so does the regulatory landscape for data handling.

The most relevant framework for those operating in the EMEA region is the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This wide-ranging data privacy rulebook has been enforced since May 2018. GDPR requires you to protect storage of all personal information, including customer and employee data. Your safeguards must include both electronic and physical barriers to unauthorised access. Server protection is critical.

3 levels of physical security for your servers
Do you know who last accessed your servers — and when? If the answer to either question is “no”, you are taking unnecessary risks with data security. Yet ensuring you stay on the regulators’ right side, and avoid a costly breach, could be straightforward: better access control.

To ensure maximum security of your servers, in its recent white paper ASSA ABLOY recommends three levels of security working together within an integrated access system. At the top level, perimeter security ensures only authorised personnel enter a data storage building. Here, door and gate electronic locks with credential readers can work alongside the likes of CCTV and monitored fencing. It’s your first line of physical breach defence.

Level 2 — server room access — can be monitored and controlled with a range of access control door devices with inbuilt credential readers, including Aperio battery-powered escutcheons or complete security locks. Either device integrates seamlessly with access and security management systems from over 100 different manufacturers. At room level, physical security must also include water- and dustproofing, electromagnetic security and protection against other physical threats to servers and data***.

The third, final level of physical data security is your server rack or cabinet. Server rooms have a steady flow of authorised traffic: cleaners, maintenance staff, repair technicians and others. Employee screening cannot be perfect — and accidents happen. Rack or cabinet locking with RFID readers is the last line of defence against a malicious or accidental physical data breach.

Responsive, real-time rack protection
ASSA ABLOY’s Aperio KS100 Server Cabinet Lock adds real-time access control and monitoring to server racks and cabinets. The lock works with an existing or new access control system; compatible credentials employ all standard RFID protocols including iCLASS®, MIFARE® and DESFire. Under the EU’s GDPR, you must inform anyone affected by a breach “without undue delay”. With the Aperio KS100, you would know right away if unauthorised access had even been attempted.

Once installed, KS100 locks integrate with your access control system and communicate wirelessly via an Aperio Communications Hub, even if your racks are co-located in a distant data centre. Once online integration with your security admin system is complete, lock access decisions are communicated from and recorded by your software wirelessly.

“When Aperio replaces mechanical locking at all three levels of server access control, lost keys no longer compromise data security. Lost credentials are simply deauthorised and a valid replacement reissued. The current status of any lock, at any level, is revealed with the click of a mouse. Generating detailed audit trails is straightforward, making the KS100 and other Aperio wireless locks invaluable for incident investigation”, explains Johan Olsén, Aperio Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEA.

The right electronic locking keeps your customer reputation intact, your data off the Dark Web, and you on the right side of the multiple data protection regulations, including GDPR.
