Contemplating the Cloud The cost of storage, mobile access demands will defi ne the future of hosting

Eventually, hosting will happen. And the video management software application will continue to have a central role in video surveillance because, by its nature, video gathers a lot of data input. That data is going to be stored either on the camera, on a local server, pulled back to a central server or pulled into the cloud. But hosting is not going to change the importance of video management—just the way it happens. People are still going to want and need to continue to use all the great VMS features and functionality that let them work with their video data today. It’s just a difference of how the data comes from the cameras into the user client of the VMS and how it is controlled and stored.

THE COST OF BANDWIDTH The cost of bandwidth is going to fall, and at a certain time when there’s enough low-cost bandwidth available, hosting will start to happen on a wider scale. The single biggest inhibitor for the hosting model today is the cost of bringing the video into the cloud.

0111sec_014_023_caswell_v5.indd 14 12/17/10 11:19 AM here are many challenges to creating an effective security program in any airport infrastructure. Technology plays a signifi cant role in any robust airport security initiative and, when deployed properly, can help T security personnel address potential vulnerabilities in a more timely fashion, in addition to increasing effectiveness overall. With this in mind, airport offi cials seek out new technologies that help them meet these goals while maintaining high levels of protection for passengers and employees. Many airports realize the value and benefi ts IP-based security devices can bring to their facilities and are moving forward with plans to transition CCTV systems to network-based technologies. Furthermore, the value of high-defi nition video surveillance as evidentiary support has grown, and airports are deploying more high-resolution cameras. There also are plans to integrate video surveillance with other technologies—such as access control, video analytics, license plate recognition and facial recognition—to streamline security operations and reduce the need for manpower. Even with these upgrades and new installations, there is no room for scheduled system downtime.

This means all elements of the IP security infrastructure, including the physical network, switches, storage and workstations. With these necessary elements in place and a clear action plan for the transition itself, an airport should be able overcome any challenges and successfully implement an IP security solution. An open-architecture VMS can quickly retrieve recorded video footage and security data, which is critically important because every minute that goes by when a potential breach occurs costs airports $20,000 to $25,000, according to Peleg. Fast retrieval of security video and data is thus vital, he said. In the same respect, failover and redundancy features also are important to ensure access to all live and archived camera feeds. This capability is requested in almost all airport applications. Airports need to have a system that guarantees 24/7 access to security data, he said. If the system is down, airport offi cials would not be able to pull up video and data during that down period. For airports, that scenario is unacceptable.

INCREASED SECURITY AND COST SAVINGS All of the above lends itself to a high demand for IP storage devices. In a typical surveillance installation, storage can comprise up to 50 percent of the cost of the system, including acqui- sition and ongoing maintenance fees. This can lead to a signifi cant investment from a user standpoint. Virtualization can reduce hardware investment and increase availability in

Sea-Tac, a division of the Port of Seattle, was looking to upgrade its 7LPHWRJHWEDFNWREDVLFV" six disparate and analog-based video surveillance systems with one fully merged IP-based solution, while pre- serving its existing investment in analog cameras. On the recommendation of systems integrator Ingersoll Rand, the airport chose Genetec Omnicast as its security management platform, as it could leverage the airport’s existing security infrastructure. The Omnicast system also allowed the airport to fully integrate its surveillance system to a third-party access control solution, as well as to an internal application that provides situational awareness to key airport managers. Today, the airport’s surveillance system consists of hundreds of analog cameras that are IP-enabled with encoders and a mix of IP-based surveillance cameras in critical areas.

A TOUGH A Model of Airport Security Low-cost airport ramps up security against terrorism OUTER SHELL By Simone Herold IS A GOOD IDEA You’ve heard about low-cost or discount airlines: how about a low- cost airport? As the fi rst low-cost airport in the United Kingdom, Coventry Airport is offering fl ights to many points of interest for low prices. For instance, Koln/Bonn, which is about 500 miles away, is about 25 euros—a little less than $35. Since March 31, 2004, the TUI subsidiary Thomson-fl y.com has been using the Coventry Airport located in the heart of the English midlands as the ideal center for low-cost fl ights to 17 European cities. Coventry also will become a destination for the German low-cost airline Hapag-Lloyd Express. In only six months, more than 380,000 travelers have started their vacations from Coven- try. More than 500,000 passengers are expected to fl y from Coventry in a 12-month period. The secret to its success seems to be running the airport with costs so low that airlines can offer fl ights on competitive, low-cost terms. This means the infrastructure is not as luxurious as that of other major airports, but passengers seem glad to give up some of the luxury in order to save money. Even with all the cost-savings, security at Coventry Airport does not fall short, especially with the threat of international terrorism. In fact, facility operators say security has the highest priority. To meet the strict demands, Coventry offi cials selected MOBOTIX IP cameras for their video surveillance system, which not only meets the requirements of the Ministry of Transport but also is a model for other airport systems. “At Coventry Airport, we have further improved our security measures with the installation of CCTV,” said Mike Morton, director of customer service. “To be sure, we keep an ® eye on our passengers from the check-in to boarding and also upon arrival—the entire STOPPER STATION SHIELD time they are on the airport premises.” • Tough polycarbonate construction The original video system comprised six analog cameras with six recorders, which • Stopper ® Station Shield helps prevent proved to be unsuitable.

When the server is again available, it is automatically updated.” Button Coventry Airport has deployed 26 Mobotix IP cameras that focus on as wide an area as possible. Seven of the cameras are megapixel cameras with zoom function, and they can deliver expressive images from distances such as the parking areas, the check-in and the departure hall. All cameras are arranged so that the appropriate sequence of images is transferred from each important location the passenger walks through, including check-in, security check, passport control, departure hall and the boarding gate. Luggage also is kept under surveillance just as the arrival hall baggage claim is. “Even the British Ministry of Transport is impressed by this solution,” Morton said. “London-Heathrow airport is planning on a new terminal, and a colleague from there came to visit us to see our IP camera solution. “The railway company Central Trains and the British Telecom also are interested in Safety Technology International, Inc. our surveillance system,” Morton said. www.sti-usa.com/sp12 800-888-4784 Simone Herold is the assistant to the CEO of corporate communications at MOBOTIX AG.

Untitled-5 1 12/7/10 12:22 PM breaks are totally random, and unfortunately, they are almost certain to continue. Day-to-day emergencies are also a reality. Schools and classrooms must therefore be prepared for any emergency and have systems and processes in place to respond. Every school and classroom needs a thoughtful crisis plan that is updated annually and includes training for school staff . Th e plan needs to be specifi c and to outline the roles of teachers, administrators and law enforcement in case of an emergency. Who’s in charge in various emergency situations? Who calls whom? How are students relocated or sheltered-in-place? Where do I go, and what do I do? A key element in responding to any emergency is the need for information. A system that provides video and audio as an emergency unfolds can help to guide every aspect of emergency response. Video and audio help administrators to cater their response specifi cally to the needs of the emergency, avoid overreacting, and rethink and redeploy resources as appropriate, even as an ongoing situation changes. What is the right approach, and what if it fails? It helps to have GRADUATE additional eyes and ears watching and hearing what is going on, ready to escalate the response EDUCATION SECURITY EDUCATION TO A BETTER if the situation changes.

Too oft en in the security market, we think of security systems as integrated but don’t consider fully the benefi ts of integrating security systems with other systems. Networking drives all kinds of systems for various uses among today’s customers—the same networking technologies that make IP-based security systems possible. It is time for the security industry to look at the broader impact of integrating security and other systems. It’s a mindset that enables leveraging of other technologies, such as classroom audio systems, for security functions. It also enables leveraging security systems for non-security functions such as process control and traffi c management. Only by taking a broad view can users maximize the benefi ts of modern technology. Learn more: Using classroom audio systems to help boost security is just one example.

K-12 — WHERE IS JOHNNY RIGHT NOW? Whether tracking students with simple roll calls, requiring that students show identifi cation cards to gain access to designated vehicles, or using GPS tracking of buses, student tracking is now possible for all school districts, even when children are no longer at the school. More schools are taking advantage of these systems, even with children who aren’t bused. Additionally, schools using ID cards can use them for other applications, from buying lunch to checking out books at the school library. cy continues to lie with individual facility administrators.

There is not yet a standard by which to judge clouds; however, the ^^^UL[JLU[YPJZLJ\YP[`JVT people in the cloud industry are moving in that direction. The industry is responding to IT concerns about cloud security and lack of standardization or criteria around cloud computing, and we are seeing the forma- tion of industry groups, forums and associations across vendors and standards bodies. In 2011, this cooperation will accelerate, as much of the groundwork has already been put in place in the last year. Even the government is trying to help. For example, the National Institute of Standards and Technology—the folks who brought you the Federal Information Processing Standards known as FIPS—recently hosted a cloud computing forum and workshop on next steps in developing cloud computing standards. In Asia, 11 companies representing the computing, software, hardware and service provider communities, including Cisco, Microsoft and Verizon, have pooled their resources to form a nonprofi t organization called the Asia Cloud Computing Association or “Asia Cloud.” One of the fi rst organizations to create a unifi ed recommendation for cloud security was the Cloud Security Alliance. Born in 2008 from an idea and discussion during a security practitioners’ conference, the ISSA CISO Forum in Las Vegas, the founders have brought together academics, enterprises, vendors and experts to develop guidance and promote best practices for security assurance within cloud computing. CSA’s mission is to promote a common level of understanding between the consumers and providers of cloud. This might sound very “kumbaya,” but in two short years, the CSA has grown into a strong organization that has successfully shifted the discussion on cloud security. Today, it has more than 10,000 members and a myriad of resources. In November 2010, the CSA hosted its annual Congress, and its published “Security Guidance for Critical Areas of Focus in Cloud Computing” is in version 2.1. The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is another nonprofi t organization and open community dedicated to improving the security of application software. It draws its spirit from the open-source community and is focused on the element of trust on the Web. The OWASP Top 10 identifi es the 10 most critical Web application security risks and also provides guidance on how to avoid or avert these risks. Remember, a cloud solution is built on the Internet. The PCI DSS compliance mandate, which is a must-have for the credit card industry, includes the OWASP Top 10 as part of its framework. We also will see regulations such as PCI DSS start to apply specifi c cloud security mandates to its requirements. *SV\K*VTW\[PUN5L[^VYR:VS\[PVUZ While anxiety over cloud security is not likely to go away anytime soon, we will see heightened cooperation and focus by cloud vendors and the industry at large to help companies increase confi dence and understand when leveraging the cloud :[VYHNL;LJOUVSVN`HUK4VYL is appropriate and safe.

MVYPUZPNO[HUKHUHS`ZPZHIV\[PU[LNYH[LKZVS\[PVUZ And we are already seeing a shift in attitude. In a recent survey we conducted, [OH[[PL[VNL[OLY]PKLVZ\Y]LPSSHUJLHUHS`[PJZ 84 percent of respondents said they believe sensitive data can be secure in the HJJLZZJVU[YVSHUKHSHYTZ`Z[LTZ^P[OPU cloud, while nearly half said they believe cloud solutions are as secure as on-prem- ise solutions.

provided a database of employees and their photos so the badges could be printed and encoded off-site at IoD’s card production facility. Within four weeks, the healthcare network had 7,000 newly branded badges incorporating the new technology. “Using HID Global’s Identity on Demand services for the re-badging aspect of this project was a signifi cant benefi t because it required minimal involvement from me and my team, allowing us to focus on other high-priority issues,” Jones said. As the Wiegand swipe readers were replaced in phases with iCLASS contactless card readers, the dual-technology cards are compatible across multiple facilities. The remaining 3,000 of the 10,000 printed cards only featured contactless technology because eventually all the Wiegand equipment will be replaced with the new iCLASS readers.

RESULTS AND THE FUTURE Four weeks after initiating the project with HID Global’s IoD group, AEHN had 7,000 personalized badges that announced its new brand, increased security with the latest technology and seamlessly integrated with its payroll system.
