Many exciting things have happened since we last gathered during the previous Summit in Salt Lake City. Remember the EMV liability shift 6 months back, where the US banking and retail industries succeeded in defining and implementing chip payments technology in an environment that is extremely complex from a technical and regulatory point of view. We facilitated the long-anticipated rollout of mobile NFC wallets, we built the tokenization infrastructures that bring next-gen payment instruments within reach, and we toyed with virtual currencies and public ledgers. Together as an industry we can achieve great things! At UL, our mission is to make the world a safer place. Realize though that in today’s world, there is no safety without security. A modern car without proper security controls in place can potentially be turned into an unguided projectile. A power grid that is insufficiently shielded against cyber attacks may leave thousands of households in the dark – literally! Payment infrastructures that are susceptible to fraud can be used for funding of terrorist activities. Real examples of situations that are not particularly safe due to the lack of security. For UL, payment security and the compliance of payment infrastructures are concrete opportunities to fulfill our mission. We are therefore proud to be a member of Smart Card Alliance, and proud to be sponsor of this year’s Payments Summit. Regards, Maarten Bron Director Innovations at UL 6 EXPANDED FOCUS, EXPANDED AUDIENCE SPONSORS The following companies are sponsors of this year’s co-located event. We appreciate their support

With the emergence and proliferation of high technologies we cannot content with the security provided by paper only. Therefore the society has chosen plastic to protect its information because it offers far more security based not only on human perception but also on machine-readable elements. The number of plastic cards in circulation in different spheres of our everyday life increases constantly. They replace money, documents and allow easy and safe access to some services. In spite of its security the plastic card however is subjected to fraud. Plastic card fraud results in significant losses for the various industries. Since the first appearance of plastic cards methods of committing fraud have changed dramatically. Now there is a wide range of high technologies at the disposal of criminals as well as card manufacturers. Therefore we have put the great emphasize of this work on the analysis of the most common card technologies in the Plastic Card World, the magnetic stripe and the chip, existing crimes and main means of their committing.

  • «The Security Economy
    The Security Economy « Recent years have seen security take a prominent place on the political and corporate agenda. Organised crime, terrorism, disruption of global supply chains, The Security computer viruses – all have played a role in raising people’s awareness of the risks they face in today’s world. Economy The result has been the emergence of a USD 100 billion market for security goods and services fed by growing demand from governments, businesses and private households. With globalisation and technological progress continuing at a rapid pace, the security economy is expected to expand further in the years ahead. New identification and surveillance technologies such as biometrics and radio frequency ID are coming on stream, and satellite-based monitoring is set to play an ever greater role. How large are the potential economic costs of major disruptions to transport systems and information networks? What is the overall cost of tighter security? Are there trade-offs between higher levels of security and economic efficiency? What are the future implications for society of the growth of surveillance in terms of its impact on privacy and other democratic liberties? This report tackles those and many other questions critical to the security economy of the 21st century.

  • Novavision Investing $2M+ in Expansion Project
    NovaVision investing $2M+ in expansion project NovaVision Inc., a Bowling Green-based company that specializes in hologram labels, tamper evident stickers, security tape, and mechanical security seals commonly used to combat counterfeiting and/or tampering, is investing over $2 million to expand its facility by 12,000 square feet to make room for new equipment. According to Mike Messmer, president and general manager, NovaVision, the new equipment will add production capacity to make its tamper evident tape and labels due to increased demand for the company's products. This is the company's third expansion at its facility. "We are adding more production equipment, which will expand our capacity to produce tamper evident tape and labels. We are also expanding our metalizing capability, which is used for specialty products," said Messmer. The project began in the third quarter of 2020 and is expected to be complete by the end of the first quarter of 2021. The new equipment will be installed and operational sometime in the first half of 2021, according to Messmer. Romanko Building Company, based in Pemberville, is the general contractor for the project and was responsible for the original building construction, as well as the other expansions at the facility. According to Messmer, the facility is all high bay at about 33 feet clearance so that it is flexible for production or warehouse space. Since adhesives for the tape and labels can be adversely affected by high temperatures or humidity, the entire facility is climate controlled as well. "We primarily use printing presses to make hologram labels, tamper evident tape, tamper evident labels, and security bags.

  • Combating Supply Chain Threats with Digital Brand Protection
    Systech: Combating Supply Chain Threats with Digital Brand Protection In this issue Welcome 2 Research From Gartner: Combat Digital Security Threats to the Supply Chain 3 The Case Against Holograms 18 Blockchain Making the cryptocurrency foundation really work as a physical product protection solution 25 Welcome Eroding Profits and Damaged Brands – Supply Chain Threats from Counterfeiting and Diversion There are numerous challenges that threaten the 21st century sup- ply chain, however, two of the largest threats are counterfeited and diverted goods. $1.7 trillion is lost annually to product counterfeiting and diversion, and companies are spending over $150B annually to combat this with additive product packaging technologies – including holograms, special seals, taggants and electronic additives. Ironically, counterfeiters are benefiting from the same things that are driving legitimate business – improvements in technology. Printing technology itself enables counterfeiters to create almost exact repli- cas of original product labeling and packaging. Between the threat of counterfeit goods and rampant diversion, brands are being put to the test to develop strategies to keep customers safe, protect company revenue and ensure brand loyalty. Change Everything without Changing Anything What if we could use existing packaging and labels to create a strong brand protection solution that helps fight counterfeiting, enables diversion detection, and could easily leverage Blockchain? Solutions like Systech’s patented e-Fingerprint® technology do exactly that. It easily integrates with existing manufacturing lines and ana- lyzes each product’s barcode at production speed, deriving a unique e-Fingerprint identifier. Now, each of those millions of “identical” UPC coded items have a unique ID able to provide genuine prod- uct authentication and diverted product identification.

Apart from huge funds, advanced product research and market research, proper positioning of the product in the market is highly essential for effective brand building.
