EDITORS COMMENT

#OutsourcingMustFall and its impact on private security The issue of outsourcing vs insourcing has been a hot topic in South Africa in recent years, with protest action at institutions around the country calling for an end to outsourcing. This impacts on a variety of industries such as cleaning, maintenance, and security.

T

hese protests, primarily at tertiary education institutes, are based on the belief that insourcing staff in these areas would provide them with a host of benefits that would include higher salaries, access to education for themselves and their beneficiaries, and greater protection in the workplace.

However, the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA), as well as a number of private security industry associations, including the Security Association of South Africa (SASA) have raised concerns.

These

EDITORIAL POLICY

institutions believe that the impact that the elimination of outsourcing could have on the private security industry is massive, and poses potential problems in terms of the overall security of the institutions that would be forfeiting the services provided by professional security firms, as well as regulation of the industry going forward.

According to the latest figures released

by PSIRA, South Africa is a primary user of outsourced services, particularly in the private security industry which is made up of more than 9 000 registered and active security businesses throughout the country.

In fact, South Africa’s private security industry is considered to be one of the largest and most active globally, hiring close to two million guards, of which approximate 500 000 are active at any given time.

The key players in the local private security industry include global heavyweights such as ADT, Chubb, and G4S, among others.

These high-profile organisations provide significant levels of direct foreign investment in the form of employee training, facilities, and expertise.

Outsourcing generally refers to the obtaining of goods or services as provided by an external provider.

Generally, outsourcing is used by organisations that do not have the capacity, time, or resources to produce these goods or operate these services internally.

Outsourcing often provides a convenient and cost-effective method of addressing these shortfalls while receiving professionally approved end-products as a result.

Insourcing is the act of internally sourcing employees through conventional

Similarly, advertising in this publication does not imply in any way endorsement or approval by these security associations of any products or services.

It is the policy of the Security Association of South Africa that any office-bearer who has an executive position in a company, or companies, which supply security products or services should on no account allow his position to be used to promote his company or its objectives in the editorial content of Security Focus, the official journal of the Association. If, at any time, an office-bearer’s position has been quoted in relation to his company or product, this does not imply the Association’s approval or involvement.

means. This includes seeking out potential employees, screening their past work experience and qualifications, conducting the interview and hiring process, and finally training and integrating them into the company culture.

Insourcing, in the context of the security industry, would mean eliminating third-party private security service providers in favour of keeping security personnel on your payroll.

While a significant number of organisations, such as companies, housing estates, and businesses use outsourced private security services, it is not uncommon for smaller businesses or associations to keep dedicated security on their staff.

During August 2016, members of the #OutsourcingMustFall movement accused tertiary institutions, the City of Tshwane and other institutions of reneging on certain agreements regarding outsourced workers.

They also threatened to shut down Gauteng, rendering it ungovernable for a day.

Protest action revolving around the Outsourcing Must Fall movement threatened to come to a head again after students in Pretoria accused local government and tertiary institutions of failing to deliver on the promises made during crunch talks at the initial protests earlier this year.

One of the main points of contention is what is being referred to as “cosmetic insourcing” by those who claim that these institutions have failed to provide the R5 000 minimum wage that was at the core of the protests.

This new wave of potential protests has the backing of both the students and the workers who are at the heart of the issue.

This demographic is comprised of security guards, cleaners, landscapers and gardening staff, as well as caterers on campuses around the country.

These workers have also pledged support for the seemingly inevitable return of the #FeesMustFall movement that dominated headlines at the tail end of 2015 and early 2016, meaning that the potential is there for protest action on an even greater scale than previously seen.

EDITORS COMMENT Continued from page 4 Workers from a number of high-profile institutions are expected to take part in the upcoming protests, including the University of Pretoria, University of Johannesburg, Wits University, Tshwane University of Technology, Tshwane South and North Colleges, Prasa, the Department of Education, and the City of Tshwane itself.

The aim of the protests will be to render the Gauteng province ungovernable for as long as it takes for these institutions to properly meet their demands.

In favour of outsourcing, it could still be argued that all-out war on this sector could lead to long-term negative effects on employment in South Africa, as the costs incurred during the hiring process would grow exponentially for individual organisations.

There are a number of critical aspects to the debate that need to be considered in this regard that should dictate the future scope of these protests and whether the long-term goals set out by the protestors are realistic or beneficial in the long run.

Fidelity signs agreement to acquire ADT South Africa Fidelity Security Group, one of Southern Africa’s largest integrated security solutions providers has announced that it has signed definitive agreements to acquire ADT South Africa from Tyco (NYSE: TYC).

T

his follows the successful acquisition of the Bidvest Protea Coin Cash Management Solutions business from the Bidvest Group (JSE: BVT) in January 2015, which has provided significant diversity in its service offering and related profitability.

ADT is an armed response company and security technology provider of advanced security solutions.

The company provides central monitoring services, including video surveillance and dispatch, armed response, access control and other security-related services to more than 365 000 residential, smallto-medium sized enterprises and larger commercial customers.

The business provides centralised security monitoring services, including the dispatch of armed response guards, fire detection and protection, access control as well as other security-related services, through a nationwide network that includes 26 branch locations and approximately 9 700 employees.

The addition of ADT to the Fidelity Security Group’s portfolio will significantly boost the group’s armed response and security technology offering.

It also affirms Fidelity Security Group’s 100 per cent South African, 54,62 per cent black-owned company and BBBEE Level One Contributor, current position as the leading black empowered integrated security solutions provider in Southern Africa.

“We are exceptionally proud to announce the successful execution of definitive agreements to acquire ADT South Africa.

“The acquisition, once completed and after all relevant approvals are obtained, will allow Fidelity Security Group to enhance its position as the leading provider of both residential and commercial integrated security solutions in Southern Africa.

“The acquisition also allows us to add an exceptionally strong team with deep industry knowledge and experience to our current portfolio,” says Wahl Bartmann, Fidelity

SECURITY FOCUS AFRICA | VOL 34 NO 8 2016

Security Group’s chief executive officer.

After the acquisition, ADT will retain its name and will operate as Fidelity ADT, a subsidiary Wahl Bartmann, CEO Fidelity Security Group of Fidelity Security Group.

Fidelity Security Group will have more than 168 points of presence across Southern Africa and support around 57 000 employees, following the acquisition.

“As a passionately South African company, ADT is extremely excited about the opportunities that the sale to Fidelity Security Group presents for our future, as well as for our customers and employees,” says Stuart Clarkson, chief executive officer of ADT. “Not only does Fidelity bring a wealth of diversified experience and knowledge, but the association also provides us with the capacity to provide our customers with a more integrated, proactive and robust security and proactive guarding service.

“Where many guarding companies only respond to crime incidents, Fidelity works to proactively mitigate crime in the communities in which it operates, and that is a very exciting proposition,” says Mr Clarkson.

Fidelity ADT will act as a local distributor for Tyco’s residential and commercial security products and specialised performance solutions for retail businesses, including the electronic article surveillance Sensormatic range of products.

Tyco will also continue to provide its fire, security and life safety products to the South African market.

The acquisition is subject to regulatory approvals, including approval from the Competition Authorities.

SPECIAL FEATURE: CYBER CRIME

Now’s the time to get cyber crime & security basics in place

By Simeon Tassev, director and QSA, Galix

Everything in our digitally-connected world has the potential to be infiltrated and exploited by cyber criminals. Levels of online fraud, digital crime and corporate espionage are rising steadily, while legislative steps are not being taken quickly enough in response to provide tools with which to combat cyber crime.

T

his exponential growth means that cyber crimes can be perpetrated against those who are without adequate legal recourse. As a result, organisations and individuals need to be vigilant in their own right, and take action to defend against malicious cyber attacks by ensuring that they have a minimum level of security in place, at the very least.

South African cyber crime legislation still pending The biggest challenge in cyber law is the fact that cyber crimes have not yet been defined and legislated as crimes under which individuals can be prosecuted. Even if an individual is caught with hacking software in the process of hacking an organisation’s system and is arrested, there is currently no law under which that individual can be prosecuted.

So, authorities either have to release the individual or prosecute him for another crime, like theft if it can be shown that the individual made a personal gain through

10

his actions. Given the scale of possible crimes that can be committed in cyberspace, this is not ideal.

The Cyber Crimes Bill of 2015, though still currently tied up in the participatory phases of the South African legislative process, aims to eliminate the challenge.

Once passed into legislation, it will be possible to enforce laws specific to cyber crime through prosecution.

Take protection into your own hands While legislation still has some catching up to do in terms of cyber crime, it’s still up to us to defend ourselves against falling victim to cyber criminals.

Within cyber protection, the bare minimum in today’s digital environment is perimeter protection and endpoint protection.

Although these two security measures complement one another, having one doesn’t eliminate the need for the other.

Under perimeter protection we see things like intrusion provision, as well as the ability

SECURITY FOCUS AFRICA | VOL 34 NO 8 2016

to securely analyse traffic, which takes care of external connectivity and possible threats from the outside.

Should perimeter protection fail, endpoint protection the last line of defence, regardless of what the endpoint device may be.

Once the basic foundation is in place with these two measures, it’s possible to focus on various controls and protection layers, until the business protection objectives have been met.

Commit to the right specialist Security and cyber crime consultants can be critical in finding efficient solutions for your business. The title “specialist” is key and the right specialist can assist you in choosing your strategy and will make sure it’s in line with your business requirements.

Protection against cyber crime also needs to account for disaster recovery and have contingency plans for different aspects of unavailability of systems or data, and must take into consideration cyber crime trends when strategising.

SPECIAL FEATURE: CYBER CRIME

Nowhere to hide How cyber-security needs to move from hopeful attempts at outright prevention, to real-time detection and neutralisation.

T

he recent high-profile credit card fraud suffered by one of South Africa’s major banks, which netted hundreds of millions of rand, has once again thrust cyber security into the spotlight.

In the modern digital world, the threat landscape is rapidly escalating, evolving in new and unpredictable ways, and causing companies of all sizes and all industries to re-assess their current security practices.

Anton Jacobsz, managing director of Networks Unlimited, a value-adding distributor of converged technology, data centre, networking, and security technology, notes that “we’re now firmly immersed in the era of ‘total connectivity’ – where people, computers and other devices are constantly connected, exchanging data and performing transactions.

“Quite simply, traditional signature-based tools are too static and easy to circumvent when pitted against the increasingly sophisticated syndicate attacks seen in cases like the recent bank heist and other major breaches,” he explains.

Hoping to achieve outright prevention is an impossible goal, and the name of the game has now shifted towards quickly identifying the wide variety of breaches as they enter the network, and swiftly neutralising them.

Intelligence driven security Mr Jacobsz advises organisations to move towards what RSA Security have coined as “Intelligence Driven Security”: a set of next-generation capabilities powering real-time threat detection and response, and optimising a firm’s security resources (personnel, processes and technologies) to combat sophisticated attacks.

“Intelligence Driven Security is about getting visibility into every contour of one’s attack surface, monitoring live activity with advanced algorithms that detect anomalies, and activating automated response processes to neutralise attacks.”

In a recent whitepaper, RSA defined Intelligence Driven Security across four pillars:

• Network and endpoint monitoring – that is constant and comprehensive, including capabilities such as full-packet capture and behaviour-based threat detection on hosts.

• Advanced analytics techniques – that can sift through massive amounts of information, such as network traffic, in near-real time to spot suspicious behaviours and accelerate investigations.

• Malware analysis – using methods that don’t rely on file signatures, but go straight to the actual behaviour of executables, whether collected on the network or endpoints, to detect hostile activity.

• Incident detection and response practices – that align security personnel, processes, and technologies – allowing IT teams to spend less time on routine tasks and more time addressing the riskiest threats.

Guilty until proven innocent The journey begins with comprehensive network and endpoint monitoring – to capture streams of forensic data needed to re-create cyber crime scenes. Mr Jacobsz explains that Intelligence Driven Security systems forego ineffective methods of signature-based scanning, and rather adopt a “guilty until proven innocent” philosophy – trusting nothing and assuming that any programmes may be hostile.

This x-ray view of every endpoint is chased up with automated scanning for suspicious activity, and then merged

with threat intelligence from various external sources – to assess threats from a 360-degree perspective.

“Today’s custom-crafted attacks can easily overcome traditional threat detection tools, so moving from a passive form of threat detection, to a state of continual ‘highalert’ is the only effective security posture,” he adds.

Intelligence Driven Security systems analyse these massive amounts of data traversing the network, scouting for signs of unusual behaviours – from people, applications, infrastructure, and communication.

Their horizons extend beyond the traditional, explicit indicators (such as previously identified malware signatures or blacklisted IP addresses and domains).

As data relating to all networks and endpoints are available through a single management system that scales as required, using distributed computing architectures, security teams do not need to toggle between different security tools and applications.

In this way, security investigations that may have previously taken days can now be handled in just minutes. When attacks occur, as they inevitably will, organisations using Intelligence Driven Security will benefit from rapid identification and neutralisation – protecting vital information and financial assets.

LET’S TALK SECURITY

How to decide on the correct security solutions Today’s modern IP CCTV solutions are light years ahead of where they were 15 years ago. Today’s market is awash in a multitude of new, break out brands, products and solutions. Without a doubt, two of the most interesting and successful up and comers in the IP CCTV arena are Avigilon Corporation and Hikvision.

W

hile not typically categorised as direct competitors, the popularity of both brands means they are often quoted and specified in various proposals and are, therefore, interesting IP CCTV candidates for comparison.

Market positioning Both brands position themselves and their products looking forward towards the future of CCTV technology, which is full IP enabled solutions.

Avigilon keeps a tightly regulated list of accredited installers and its core sales proposition to its installer network is the concept that while its cameras are more expensive, installers will require less of them due to the high quality of the image produced by the cameras.

Hikvisions camera prices are significantly cheaper than those of Avigilons per unit in the South African market and have proven in most cases to hold an image close to the quality of the Avigilon units. Therefore the debate which is now playing out in the market place is, when to use which product?

varieties of IP Camera including the following configurations in one to five MP options: • Avigilon HD Camera.

• Avigilon HD Bullet Camera.

• Avigilon HD Mini Dome.

• Avigilon HD Dome.

• Avigilon HD PTZ Camera.

Along with the above-mentioned products are the pre-loaded server-based NVR recorders offering Avigilons custom designed proprietary NVR software, allowing for sophisticated video analytics and the promise of integration with a number of access control solutions.

Avigilon holds 260 US and International patents with many more pending.

Product range comparison Avigilon: Avigilon focuses primarily on high quality IP Cameras and NVR (Network Video Recorder) solutions. The product range encompasses all

Hikvision: Hikvision has been the stand-out growth story of the past two years. According to their website, Hikvision is the world’s largest manufacturer and distributor of IP CCTV solutions. This includes the largest R & D team in the IP CCTV industry.

Similar to Avigilon, Hikvision supplies IP CCTV camera solutions and configurations.

Conclusion

alarm arenas with a new range aimed at the growing demand for complete integration of security components of a business.

Recently listing on the Hong Kong stock exchange Hilvision has seen revenues soar over the past eight quarters.

The case of closed systems versus open ones The final differentiating feature between Avigilon and Hikvision is their individual approach to handling of third party cameras and licences to run those cameras.

Avigilon runs a closed solution which encourages use of an Avigilon only solution.

Third party cameras may be added at the cost of additional licences.

Hikvision allows for additional competitor cameras to be added to their solution at no additional charge.

Without a doubt, both companies ranges offer exceptional products, and this high quality has been the backbone of their remarkable recent success. The final decision lies with the customer in terms of budget and specific site requirements.

Ultimately, the largest differentiating factor is the installer of the solution. Many multimillion rand solutions have been unsuccessful due to the procuring company not carefully vetting the supplier tendering for the CCTV work.

A well-established installer/integrator will advise you correctly on how you can achieve the best results at the optimum price.

When choosing an installer remember to always ask for three reference sites and a detailed quotation of the proposed solution.

Research the prior work of your chosen supplier to ensure they have a history of not only professionally completed installs, but also great follow up service. Your solution will need continual maintenance over the coming years.

Mr Brecher goes on to say that the continuous expansion of Cathexis Africa is in line with the company strategy to solidify its local presence while slowly growing the company’s presence on a global scale, with specific focus on the Middle East and Europe.

“Internal infrastructure must remain a key focus area at all times, because the success of our product depends solely on the performance of our people,” he concluded.

SOCIAL MEDIA SECURITY

SOCIAL MEDIA: Help or hindrance to crime prevention?

The proliferation of social media platforms must be seen as an advantage when it comes to crime prevention, says general manager of ADT Inland Region Theunis Kotze. Their value, however, rests with the members of the group and the quality of information shared.

W

e’re living in an age in which ordinary citizens are invited to be active participants in the fight against crime. Knowledge is power when it comes to crime prevention and successes hinge on the sharing of intelligence, so harnessing the power of social media is imperative.

“These platforms are, however, not without their challenges,” Mr Kotze adds.

“The most common being the posting of unverified information (mostly ‘urban legends’) which spread like wildfire and

often create unwarranted panic. Another challenge is that these groups can easily turn into general chat forums, which is a hindrance to the purpose of the group.”

Not only do members become annoyed by a constant flow of irrelevant chatter, many actually leave the group as a result of this. There is also the potential for those responsible for crime prevention to miss important information in and among reams of immaterial messages.

In ADT’s experience, many people are hesitant to participate on crime prevention

groups for fear of their personal details being visible.

However, in communities with a strong residents’ association, Neighbourhood Watch or CPF, such communication platforms are yielding very positive results.

“I believe the biggest benefit is that personal security and related issues are kept top of mind. Successes are also shared and this fosters goodwill between communities and those who are there to protect them,” Mr Kotze says.

ADT’s don’ts in the (social media) fight against crime • Don’t post any personal information.

• Don’t post irrelevant information (advertising, lost pets, road blocks, speed traps or any council issues).

• Don’t post “confirmed” or “thanks” or “received” once you’ve read a message.

• Don’t post unverified information. Crime warnings or tip-offs received from other sources must be sent to the group administrator for verification.

• Don’t engage in argumentative comments or use foul language on the group.

• Don’t try to be a hero. Members of the public should never get involved in a potentially dangerous situation. Contact the SAPS or your security company to investigate should you see anything suspicious.

“Social media definitely has a role to play and it’s important that the community actively participates in crime prevention.

“However, in order to get the results we strive for, members of such groups need to be responsible and respectful at all times.

“There are ramifications for members who consistently disobey the rules and these could even be legal, depending on the seriousness of the case,” Mr Kotze concludes.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Creating access to technology for rural learners Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT, BSE: 507685, NSE: WIPRO), a global information technology, consulting and business process services company has announced that it has launched a threeyear Corporate Social Investment project in South Africa in partnership with the country’s Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) to set up 29 computer laboratories which will benefit 28 000 students from rural areas.

T

he labs to be used primarily by students from grade 7-12 will be set up in 29 schools adopted by IDC in provinces across the country.

The programme will first be rolled out in the Mpumalanga, Northern Cape and Eastern Cape regions. Most of these schools are located in places where the need for technology education is paramount.

The programme will provide fully-equipped and connected computer labs to each school, supported by a sustainable programme of computer education for approximately 800 teachers, as well as school students.

IDC will appoint and train one unemployed youth from the community to help each school run its computer lab.

Gavin Holme, business head, Wipro Africa said: “Wipro is committed to supporting the growth of a sustainable economy in South

Africa and has, over the years, unveiled several initiatives in this direction.

“Many rural schools in the region continue to be disadvantaged by limited levels of access to technology resources, resulting in lower levels of information and communications technology literacy among both teachers and students.

“Our partnership with the IDC will provide thousands of learners with the access and skills that are essential for the digital age.”

He further added: “We are committed to provide a broad range of hardware, software, connectivity, education and programme management resources to ensure we deliver the real impact we have envisioned.”

Zama Luthuli, IDC’s divisional executive for corporate affairs, said: “Wipro is the ideal partner for this initiative given their extensive

experience in launching education-based technology projects.

“Wipro’s approach mirrors our own, in that both organisations are passionate about making a sustainable difference in the South African education system.”

Wipro is a Level 2 Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) contributor in South Africa.

The company runs several initiatives under its flagship programme Siyapha, including a popular Graduate Internship Programme to train tertiary level graduates.

To date, Siyapha has provided technology training and access to more than 4 800 people in South Africa.

The spirit of this initiative aligns with the government of South Africa’s Operation Phakisa in information and communications technology in the education sector.

ON THE MARKET

Get ready for

CathexisVision 2017 Cathexis Technologies recently announced the launch of CathexisVision 2017, the latest software release from one of the leading video management solutions providers.

I

n addition to the world-class features and sophisticated functionality customers have already come to expect from CathexisVision, the 2017 software release boasts an extended range of new features, which culminates into one of the most sophisticated, yet intuitive security and infrastructure management tools on the market today.

A snapshot of the new CathexisVision 2017 features include: New API for integration

• Southwest Microwave (Intrepid) and Stinger perimeter intrusion systems.

• Risco and Texecom alarm panels.

• Papouch-Quido I/O device.

• Talaris and Julong money counters/ • Matrix barcode reader.

SnapSearch The new CathexisVision SnapSearch feature significantly enhances control room performance by speeding up control room searches and eliminating the need to scrutinise significant portions of footage to locate a specific incident.

The new Application Programming Interface (API) provides for added functionality and more contemporary HTTP/RTSP/SIP protocol. In addition, it provides a userfriendly solution to interface third party systems, including building management systems, physical security information system (PSIM) and situational awareness platforms.

Cathexis has also added a sample application to make the integration simpler and perform intermittent troubleshooting.

Adjacent camera mapping

H.265 support

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)/active directory support for enhanced usermanagement

CathexisVision 2017 now provides the necessary support for the H.265 protocol. A cutting-edge, high-efficiency video codec, which is being increasingly adopted by IP camera manufacturers globally.

Camera integrations Cathexis Technologies has added more than 300 new IP camera integrations to its everincreasing list of supported IP cameras. For a full list of the latest camera integrations, go to http://integrations.cathexisvideo.com/ supported-i-p-cameras/

3rd party systems integrations Cathexis Technologies has added a whole new host of third party integrations to an already impressive portfolio, to enhance this powerful surveillance solution. These additional third party integrations include: • Honeywell (Pro-Watch), Axis, Impro and Salto access control systems.

18

The Adjacent camera mapping feature provides a powerful enhancement to the control room environment, particularly for larger sites, which require hundreds of IP surveillance cameras. It enables customers to “map” cameras together so operators are able to view all cameras adjacent to the camera currently in view. This makes it possible to follow people or specific incidents taking place on site.

CathexisVision now supports the LDAP and Windows Active Directory for enterprise level, centralised user-management. This enables customers to adopt the CathexisVision software seamlessly within an existing network management framework.

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) enhancements Having launched the highly effective ANPR feature in 2016, this new edition of CathexisVision 2017 includes a number of enhancements to the ANPR feature, including the addition of more fields to include more categories for Middle Eastern licence plate support. Cathexis has also added an easy-touse API to allow third party systems to receive ANPR information from the Cathexis system.

SECURITY FOCUS AFRICA | VOL 34 NO 8 2016

64-bit operating system support CathexisVision 2017 has been fully fitted for future enhancement by significantly improving the overall operating system.

Clients will benefit from the fact that CathexisVision software will make full use of all available resources from the ever improving available recording and client viewing server hardware.

Heightened video/audio archive security and auditing Cathexis has also increased the level of video “signing” to explicitly associate the signatures with the source. This has also provided more detail in the archive player of the video verification results. There are also some modifications to the archive password process where auditing of these new security measures has also been added.

Text and graphics overlays CathexisVision has added even greater functionality to its video overlays to display text and other information from resident and third party devices on the camera panels.

Cathexis now has the ability to re-position text overlay blocks, and to change overlay sizes, text sizes, transparency and colour.

They also have the ability to overlay graphics (like active graphs for a metal detector integration or vehicle and driver images for ANPR).

Mobile app Cathexis Technologies is also pleased to announce that CathexisVision has added pre-set PTZ control and I/O control for the CatMobile application.

Camera anti-tamper tamper detection CathexisVision 2017 comes with complete anti-tamper technology, which will notify the control room via an alarm in the event of any IP surveillance camera tempering, including lens covering or spray painting. Clients can also include a user-defined specific action for the alarm, to which the person tampering with the device will be unaware of.

ON THE MARKET

Leading-class fire solutions Elvey Security Technologies is pleased to be collaborating with its fire partner FireClass; to help educate the market on the risks associated with inadequate fire detection systems in public buildings.

T

he incidents of deaths and loss of revenue caused by fires are still unacceptably high in South Africa.

The number of deaths in non-residential fires has risen dramatically from 248 in 2004 to 578 in 2013, while the financial losses incurred by both residential and non-residential fires has also risen sharply from R1.2 billion in 2004 to R2.2 billion in 2013. This is according to the SA Fire Loss Statistics 2013.

Interestingly, statistics in the US show a marked decrease from 2003 to 2013.

According to the US Fire Administration, the number of non-residential fire-related deaths dropped from 185 to 65 and the costs incurred went down from $2.9 billion to $2.5 billion. Similarly the number of fires decreased from 103 200 to 93 700.

So why this marked difference? Is it perhaps due to more stringent legislation with regard to the selection, installation, operation, testing and maintenance of fire detection and suppression systems?

Or perhaps it is due to the need for education of end users to the advantages of a fit for purpose system.

Whatever the reason for this discrepancy, there is a critical need for end users to dispense with the attitude that fire detection

and suppression systems are a grudge purchase and to see them as a necessary protection of human life and other assets.

The FireClass range includes the latest fire detection technology packaged in an easy to install, out of the box, digital open protocol solution.

The digital protocol is well tested in the marine and offshore industries and has a proven resistance to poor, damp and damaged cables found in such hostile environments.

Certified to EN54 standards, FireClass addressable fire detection panels include optical smoke detectors and various multisensor devices, including the FC460PC multi sensor smoke, heat and carbon monoxide(CO) detector.

Elvey distributes the full range of addressable panels with specific focus on the highly affordable FC501 unit. The FC501 incorporates up to 128 addresses and 32 zones and the Intelli-Zone feature allows for auto mapping.

Installation is quick and easy, and combined with easy programming and a user friendly remote user interface with control buttons, the FC 501 is the ideal choice for users looking for an affordable panel that displays temperature, CO levels and smoke levels.

The FC 501 has both manual and automatic walk test and reporting functions and a 3 000-event log.

to authentication, one that bypasses the vulnerabilities that exist due to passwords.

“There is a strong demand for a solution like this as passwords are outdated and present some serious security concerns.

“With Secure Cloudlink there is no storing, replicating or transmitting of passwords. We transition customers from simply removing resets, through single sign on, to truly no passwords whatsoever.

“Our approach is to eliminate the password and to streamline users’ access to applications and IT resources.

“We have some ambitious growth targets and we are looking for channel partners who can help us drive this.

“Secure Cloudlink is a highly desirable solution for companies who want to provide a simple, secure yet password free user access to cloud and on-premises applications and services.

“The solution can seamlessly be built into any company’s wider IT security strategy, so we are confident this will have every success in the channel,” Mr Wilkins concludes.

The Secure Cloudlink channel programme is targeted at the following reseller categories: • Authorised resellers who meet the

SECURITY FOCUS AFRICA | VOL 34 NO 8 2016

minimum sales and technical training requirements and have access to sales tools and collateral.

• Authorised partners who have deployed the Secure Cloudlink solution in their internal environments to generate a deep understanding of how to sell and support them.

• Premier partners make a significant commitment to actively sell the solution and jointly plan for revenue growth. These resellers will have an intimate relationship with Secure Cloudlink and receive the most competitive revenue share discounts as well as access to sales tools.

How will Brexit affect the security industry? effects from slowing investment and the lack of new construction projects.

Access control, intruder and fire alarm markets typically track construction rates closely and are forecast to be affected most by this trend.

However, a large cut to infrastructure spending would be just as damaging for the video surveillance market.

As the United Kingdom starts to follow through with the necessary steps to leave the European Union (EU), there could be a number of consequences that filter through to security industry stakeholders. In theory, according to Jim Dearing of IHS Markit, who has taken a look at the potential impact, in the short-term the market outlook for 2016 and 2017 should be relatively unaffected.

T

he UK has yet to activate Article 50, which instigates the formal procedure to leave the EU. Only the UK prime minister can invoke Article 50 to begin the negotiation process, which is expected to take around two years to complete.

It has been around two months since the vote and some warning signs for the security market have already begun to appear.

The British banking and finance sector, a heavy user of video surveillance and access control equipment, has taken a thrashing in the financial markets, largely over fears that it may lose access to lucrative European markets if London fails to keep its passporting rights.

Damage limitation As a result, IHS Markit has found that some financial institutions are already taking steps to limit damage to profits by curbing expenditure. This has resulted in some facilities switching to a “fix-before-replace” approach to security equipment maintenance.

Although the slowing replacement rate is bad news for equipment vendors in the short-term, maintenance service revenue for installers and monitoring companies should enjoy a small boost.

Uncertain currency markets Uncertainty over Britain’s future has also wreaked havoc in the currency markets, the British pound lost around nine per cent of its value against the euro and the US

22

dollar within 24 hours of the vote. If this downward trend were to continue, UKbased manufacturers could see their cost of sales increasing, as they find importing raw materials and components more expensive.

However, they should also benefit from a small boost in demand, as their prices become more favourable to those outside the UK.

Market resilience In fact, analysts expect that the video surveillance equipment market should be one of the most resilient to this type of market volatility. The majority of equipment is manufactured in Asia, plus a larger portion of vendors are international companies, which are typically more experienced in dealing with changing terms of trade.

IHS Markit estimates of market share indicate that less than five per cent of the European market is supplied by UKheadquartered video-surveillance vendors.

Intruder alarm remote-monitoring revenues are also projected to react slowly to the shake-up. Their long-term contracts lock in revenues and generally protect service providers from short-term swings in demand.

Slowing construction market In the longer-term, if and when formal proceedings to leave the EU are started by the UK, it would become more certain that the security equipment market will suffer.

This would begin in 2018 with minimal

SECURITY FOCUS AFRICA | VOL 34 NO 8 2016

Negative influences These negative influences are likely to accelerate in 2019 and 2020, if the UK fails to negotiate a “soft exit”. If a deal cannot be struck within the two-year time-frame set out

by Article 50, the UK would have to revert to World Trade Organisation (WTO) trade rules.

This means that tariffs have to be imposed on trade between the UK and the EU, which would be a disaster for commerce in both regions – but especially for the UK. Strenuous efforts are expected to be made to avoid it.

Once the separation is completed, there are other long-term effects and key points of interest that may have a significant impact on the security industry.

Funding For example, the EU funds many development and renovation projects across the European continent. These projects often come with the stipulation that a certain portion of the funds are to be spent with EU suppliers. UK security suppliers are likely to lose this business to competitors, once the Brexit process has been completed.

Standards In terms of standards and regulations, the British Standards Institution (BSI) currently follows European standards fairly closely.

Without EU membership it remains unclear whether the BSI would feel the need to continue to follow EU standards.

Key suppliers As far as suppliers are concerned, IHS Markit considers there are five British-based access control and intruder alarm vendors supplying the European market in significant quantity – each with revenue exceeding $10 million, and the researchers estimate these companies combined account for less than 10 per cent of total European, Middle-Eastern and African (EMEA) market revenues for both industries.

LAW & SECURITY

Finance minister conundrum

By Peter Bagshawe

One of the most widely watched and commented on statements on news channels and YouTube is the recent brief statement issued by Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan on 24 August 2016 in which he advised, publically, that he would not present himself at the offices of the Crimes Against the State, Commander Brigadier Nyameka Xaba on 25 August 2016 in relation to a warning order.

T

he warning order is not widely understood and, simply put, is the mechanism via which a statement of rights is read to a suspect (and formally recorded) usually prior to arrest and is often the precursor to charges being laid.

In this regard, the simplest analogy is that the warning order is akin to the Miranda rights that are read to suspects in the American judicial system.

The statement that Minister Gordhan made public was some 280 words long.

However, the import and repercussions have been multiple and of concern nationally and internationally.

Minister Gordhan declined to present himself at Brigadier Xaba’s offices on the basis of legal advice that he had received and, is this respect, no person is obliged to appear or to provide a statement due to the protection afforded by section 35 of the Constitution.

Having availed himself of the right to counsel and the right to remain silent Minister Gordhan then effectively escalated the matter into the public domain.

Reaction from the international markets was immediate, with stocks moving downwards, the Rand going from a level of ZAR 13.47=US$1 on 23 August 2016 to ZAR 14.02=US$1 on 24 August and a level of ZAR 14.50=US$1 at the time of writing.

Civil society has come out strongly against what is seen as manipulation of the prosecutorial system against Minister Gordhan with representations being made by organised business, the Helen Suzman Foundation and legal figures, including George Bizos and Johan Kriegler giving support to Minister Gordhan and the other former SARS employees who were called to appear in Brigadier Xaba’s offices.

To understand the allegations against Minister Gordhan, it is necessary to trace his career within both the South African

24

Revenue Services (SARS) and as Minister of Finance.

From a historical perspective, Pravin Gordhan was the Commissioner of the South African Revenue Service from 1999 to 2009 and was appointed Minister of Finance between May 2009 and May 2014 when he was replaced by Nhlanhla Nene who, in turn, was replaced by Des van Rooyen on 10 December 2016, in what has become known as Nenegate.

Following adverse reaction to the appointment of Van Rooyen, Minister Gordhan was appointed Minister of Finance on 14 December 2015 by President Zuma.

On the current matter initially, the Hawks posed 27 questions to Minister Gordhan in May 2016 based around the establishment of an intelligence gathering unit within SARS to which Minister Gordhan responded and, on 20 May, 2016 the head of the Hawks, General Ntlemeza advised Minister Gordhan’s attorney that Minister Gordhan was not a suspect in any investigation.

During the run-up to the Municipal elections, the matter appears to have been in abeyance.

Despite the President, National Executive Committee and National Working Committee of the African National Congress, as well as a number of senior members of the ANC, including secretary general Gwede Mantashe and senior tripartite alliance partner COSATU having expressed confidence in Minister Gordhan, it is apparent there are divisions within the party.

Dissatisfaction has been expressed by, among others, Jesse Duarte and Des van Rooyen recently, and Gwede Mantashe appeared to be critical of Minister Gordhan in a statement made in response to public statements made by Van Rooyen and the Mkhonto We Sizwe Military Veterans Association relating to Minister Gordhan.

SECURITY FOCUS AFRICA | VOL 34 NO 8 2016

Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan

The scale of the division within the ANC, and public statements, must be a source of concern to the party, particularly after the Municipal election results.

At the same time Treasury, which is headed up by Minister Gordhan, has ongoing difficulties with parastatals, including South African Airways, Denel and Eskom, the Ministers of Energy Affairs and Mining and Minerals and the current Commissioner of SARS, Tom Moyane.

Turning to the charges that may be levelled against Minister Gordhan, there appear to be two items with the primary one being the intelligence gathering unit established by SARS and which has often been referred to as the “rogue unit” was engaged in collecting covert intelligence and this was, accordingly, operating illegally in terms of the National Strategic Intelligence Act. Legal opinion from a number of sources, including leading academics who have added to the debate is that, even if the unit was acting in contravention of the National Strategic Intelligence Act, any contravention would fall on the department (SARS in this case) and not only on the Minister responsible for the department.

Most importantly, this is not a criminal offence and on that basis, charges could not be founded.

The second matter is alleged corruption relating to Minister Gordhan’s approval of the early retirement of one of the other former SARS employees called to appear for a warning statement, Ivan Pillay.

In effect, Pillay took early retirement, accessed his pension funds with SARS assuming responsibility for the associated penalty, and Pillay was then retained as a fixed term employee in the same position.

RISCO Agility

RISCO LightSYS

The ProSYS™ Plus is RISCO’s new powerful Grade 3 hybrid security system designed for the commercial sector. This state-of-the-art solution offers an exclusive array of benefits, featuring a revolutionary single hardware platform with a unique licensing mechanism allowing one panel virtually unlimited scalability for any size of installation up to 512 zones.

Agility™ 3 is a state-of-the-art 2-way wireless alarm system designed for the residential and small business markets that provides more than a standard home security system.

The LightSYS™ 2 professional hybrid security system now offers even more! LightSYS™ 2 supports RISCO Group’s revolutionary live video verification solution, VUpoint, a cloud-based platform that utilizes IP cameras to provide real-time video streaming in response to alarm triggers or on demand.

The system’s applications deliver a convenient security solution for a range of sectors, from high-end residential and office complexes to government facilities. The costeffective “pay as you grow” solution eliminates the need to purchase additional panels to support expansion.

RISCO’s “Super hybrid” architecture provides you with a professional holistic hybrid solution combining RISCO Bus, wired and 2-way wireless detectors for optimized installation. RISCO’s Bus detector technology allows you to conduct remote diagnosis and maintenance without the need to travel to the site, saving you countless hours and costs.

ProSYS™ Plus combines the best of RISCO Group’s technologies, including the cloud-based iRISCO smartphone app to remotely monitor the system, integrated IP cameras for live HD video verification and “look in,” as well as a full range of professional commercial and industrial detectors.

Agility™ 3 supports visual verification with a self monitoring Smartphone app (also available via web browser) which enables homeowners to control their alarm systems remotely as well as view real-time images taken inside their premises with the eyeWave™ wireless PIR camera detector which communicates with the RISCO Cloud server.

In the event of an alarm, the PIR camera is automatically activated and captures a sequence of images which it sends to users via RISCO’s Smartphone/ web Application.

This capability enables users to view the images and confirm if there is a crime in progress. Monitoring stations can also benefit from the visual verification feature as the capability to ascertain whether there is a false alarm will save them valuable time and resources.

Agility™ 3 is easy to install, can be managed remotely and gives peace of mind, and therefore provides benefits for installers, monitoring stations and end users.

LAW & SECURITY

Continued from p24

Minister Gordhan acknowledged that this took place and indicated that he approved the retirement and retainer as presented to him on the basis that he believed this to have been above board.

This is being regarded by the prosecuting authorities as unauthorised expenditure under the Public Finance Management Act. Legal opinion on this is that the Public Finance Management Act does not apply to SARS, so no contravention of the Act could have taken place and further that contravening the Public Finance Management Act is not a criminal offence.

Additionally, the benefit or inducement requirement of corruption does not seem evident.

Having laid out the factual position the implications now need to be considered.

Ignoring the postulated camps within the ANC, allegations of State capture and Treasury capture the response of markets to the Rand was immediate and has maintained a negative trend.

Given that Minister Gordhan has been involved in the review of the South African status with rating agencies and avoided the expected downgrade to junk status, or held it over until December this year, the short term view externally is largely negative.

Pravin Gordhan has a high profile and is widely respected for his fiscal acumen and discipline. Should he be removed from the equation, the costs of borrowings and

servicing existing bonds (which are substantial in relation to local GDP), will escalate as will cost of doing business in hard currencies.

There have been calls for Minister Gordhan to stand down pending finalisation of the criminal matters pending and, in the interim, he appears to be balancing these against the levels of support from within the ruling party, as well as externally, in an attempt to continue to discharge his function within the portfolio he has been appointed to.

PETER BAGSHAWE holds a Bachelor of Law degree from the former University of Rhodesia and a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of the Witwatersrand.
