That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant.

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration. Bayshore will be the exclusive provider of this combined technology to customers worldwide through GE Digital, Bayshore, and other sales channels. OpShield NextGeneration can reportedly protect most HMI and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems from unauthorised and potentially high-risk or dangerous network activity such as unscheduled configuration changes, unscheduled maintenance events, indicators of reconnaissance and surveillance, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, network spoofing and piggybacking.\n\n\u201cIndustrial companies will now usually agree that they have hosts and applications which are no longer separated, or \u2018air-gapped\u2019 off for safe, isolated operations from the rest of the company or from outsiders and the internet,\u201d explined Sid Snitkin, Vice President Cybersecurity Advisory Services, ARC Advisory. \u201cThese types of systems are susceptible to certain OT network attacks.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration. Bayshore will be the exclusive provider of this combined technology to customers worldwide through GE Digital, Bayshore, and other sales channels. OpShield NextGeneration can reportedly protect most HMI and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems from unauthorised and potentially high-risk or dangerous network activity such as unscheduled configuration changes, unscheduled maintenance events, indicators of reconnaissance and surveillance, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, network spoofing and piggybacking.\n\n\u201cIndustrial companies will now usually agree that they have hosts and applications which are no longer separated, or \u2018air-gapped\u2019 off for safe, isolated operations from the rest of the company or from outsiders and the internet,\u201d explined Sid Snitkin, Vice President Cybersecurity Advisory Services, ARC Advisory. \u201cThese types of systems are susceptible to certain OT network attacks.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration. Bayshore will be the exclusive provider of this combined technology to customers worldwide through GE Digital, Bayshore, and other sales channels. OpShield NextGeneration can reportedly protect most HMI and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems from unauthorised and potentially high-risk or dangerous network activity such as unscheduled configuration changes, unscheduled maintenance events, indicators of reconnaissance and surveillance, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, network spoofing and piggybacking.\n\n\u201cIndustrial companies will now usually agree that they have hosts and applications which are no longer separated, or \u2018air-gapped\u2019 off for safe, isolated operations from the rest of the company or from outsiders and the internet,\u201d explined Sid Snitkin, Vice President Cybersecurity Advisory Services, ARC Advisory. \u201cThese types of systems are susceptible to certain OT network attacks.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration. Bayshore will be the exclusive provider of this combined technology to customers worldwide through GE Digital, Bayshore, and other sales channels. OpShield NextGeneration can reportedly protect most HMI and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems from unauthorised and potentially high-risk or dangerous network activity such as unscheduled configuration changes, unscheduled maintenance events, indicators of reconnaissance and surveillance, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, network spoofing and piggybacking.\n\n\u201cIndustrial companies will now usually agree that they have hosts and applications which are no longer separated, or \u2018air-gapped\u2019 off for safe, isolated operations from the rest of the company or from outsiders and the internet,\u201d explined Sid Snitkin, Vice President Cybersecurity Advisory Services, ARC Advisory. \u201cThese types of systems are susceptible to certain OT network attacks.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration. Bayshore will be the exclusive provider of this combined technology to customers worldwide through GE Digital, Bayshore, and other sales channels. OpShield NextGeneration can reportedly protect most HMI and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems from unauthorised and potentially high-risk or dangerous network activity such as unscheduled configuration changes, unscheduled maintenance events, indicators of reconnaissance and surveillance, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, network spoofing and piggybacking.\n\n\u201cIndustrial companies will now usually agree that they have hosts and applications which are no longer separated, or \u2018air-gapped\u2019 off for safe, isolated operations from the rest of the company or from outsiders and the internet,\u201d explined Sid Snitkin, Vice President Cybersecurity Advisory Services, ARC Advisory. \u201cThese types of systems are susceptible to certain OT network attacks.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration. Bayshore will be the exclusive provider of this combined technology to customers worldwide through GE Digital, Bayshore, and other sales channels. OpShield NextGeneration can reportedly protect most HMI and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems from unauthorised and potentially high-risk or dangerous network activity such as unscheduled configuration changes, unscheduled maintenance events, indicators of reconnaissance and surveillance, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, network spoofing and piggybacking.\n\n\u201cIndustrial companies will now usually agree that they have hosts and applications which are no longer separated, or \u2018air-gapped\u2019 off for safe, isolated operations from the rest of the company or from outsiders and the internet,\u201d explined Sid Snitkin, Vice President Cybersecurity Advisory Services, ARC Advisory. \u201cThese types of systems are susceptible to certain OT network attacks.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed.

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks.

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration. Bayshore will be the exclusive provider of this combined technology to customers worldwide through GE Digital, Bayshore, and other sales channels. OpShield NextGeneration can reportedly protect most HMI and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems from unauthorised and potentially high-risk or dangerous network activity such as unscheduled configuration changes, unscheduled maintenance events, indicators of reconnaissance and surveillance, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, network spoofing and piggybacking.\n\n\u201cIndustrial companies will now usually agree that they have hosts and applications which are no longer separated, or \u2018air-gapped\u2019 off for safe, isolated operations from the rest of the company or from outsiders and the internet,\u201d explined Sid Snitkin, Vice President Cybersecurity Advisory Services, ARC Advisory. \u201cThese types of systems are susceptible to certain OT network attacks.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed.

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed.

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration. Bayshore will be the exclusive provider of this combined technology to customers worldwide through GE Digital, Bayshore, and other sales channels. OpShield NextGeneration can reportedly protect most HMI and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems from unauthorised and potentially high-risk or dangerous network activity such as unscheduled configuration changes, unscheduled maintenance events, indicators of reconnaissance and surveillance, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, network spoofing and piggybacking.\n\n\u201cIndustrial companies will now usually agree that they have hosts and applications which are no longer separated, or \u2018air-gapped\u2019 off for safe, isolated operations from the rest of the company or from outsiders and the internet,\u201d explined Sid Snitkin, Vice President Cybersecurity Advisory Services, ARC Advisory. \u201cThese types of systems are susceptible to certain OT network attacks.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

OpShield NextGeneration can reportedly protect most HMI and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems from unauthorised and potentially high-risk or dangerous network activity such as unscheduled configuration changes, unscheduled maintenance events, indicators of reconnaissance and surveillance, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, network spoofing and piggybacking.\n\n\u201cIndustrial companies will now usually agree that they have hosts and applications which are no longer separated, or \u2018air-gapped\u2019 off for safe, isolated operations from the rest of the company or from outsiders and the internet,\u201d explined Sid Snitkin, Vice President Cybersecurity Advisory Services, ARC Advisory. \u201cThese types of systems are susceptible to certain OT network attacks. And with the influence of the pandemic, the industrial attack surface and the resulting cyber risk just continues to increase.\u201d\n\nwww.bayshorenetworks.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bayshore Networks and GE Digital combine to secure industrial networks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bayshore-networks-and-ge-digital-combine-to-secure-industrial-networks","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-09 07:57:04","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-09 07:57:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4859","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4689,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-27 16:31:38","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:38","post_content":"Cybersecurity solutions for industrial automation networks specialist, Radiflow, has announced significant growth in revenues and bookings following the launch of new products in 2020 and continued international expansion.\n\n\u201cAlthough last year has been a challenge for many vendors due to the impact of the global pandemic reducing overall IT spending, the OT cybersecurity space has been relatively unaffected and Radiflow has experienced its best year to date,\u201d explained Ilan Barda, CEO of Radiflow. \u201cOur critical national infrastructure (CNI) business continued its consistent growth, but the biggest growth has been within manufacturing \u2013 an area that had traditionally been less active in the cyber security space and has been prompted to strengthen its defences following a number of high-profile breaches during 2019\/20 \u2013 today, nearly one third of our revenues come from manufacturing.\u201d\n\nRadiflow recorded a two times increase in sales during 2020 compared to the previous year and a three times increase in bookings. Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration. Bayshore will be the exclusive provider of this combined technology to customers worldwide through GE Digital, Bayshore, and other sales channels. OpShield NextGeneration can reportedly protect most HMI and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems from unauthorised and potentially high-risk or dangerous network activity such as unscheduled configuration changes, unscheduled maintenance events, indicators of reconnaissance and surveillance, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, network spoofing and piggybacking.\n\n\u201cIndustrial companies will now usually agree that they have hosts and applications which are no longer separated, or \u2018air-gapped\u2019 off for safe, isolated operations from the rest of the company or from outsiders and the internet,\u201d explined Sid Snitkin, Vice President Cybersecurity Advisory Services, ARC Advisory. \u201cThese types of systems are susceptible to certain OT network attacks. And with the influence of the pandemic, the industrial attack surface and the resulting cyber risk just continues to increase.\u201d\n\nwww.bayshorenetworks.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bayshore Networks and GE Digital combine to secure industrial networks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bayshore-networks-and-ge-digital-combine-to-secure-industrial-networks","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-09 07:57:04","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-09 07:57:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4859","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4689,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-27 16:31:38","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:38","post_content":"Cybersecurity solutions for industrial automation networks specialist, Radiflow, has announced significant growth in revenues and bookings following the launch of new products in 2020 and continued international expansion.\n\n\u201cAlthough last year has been a challenge for many vendors due to the impact of the global pandemic reducing overall IT spending, the OT cybersecurity space has been relatively unaffected and Radiflow has experienced its best year to date,\u201d explained Ilan Barda, CEO of Radiflow. \u201cOur critical national infrastructure (CNI) business continued its consistent growth, but the biggest growth has been within manufacturing \u2013 an area that had traditionally been less active in the cyber security space and has been prompted to strengthen its defences following a number of high-profile breaches during 2019\/20 \u2013 today, nearly one third of our revenues come from manufacturing.\u201d\n\nRadiflow recorded a two times increase in sales during 2020 compared to the previous year and a three times increase in bookings. Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is available on the BSIA website and has also been put forward to the Fire and Security Excellence Awards for Best Contribution to Standards in the Security Sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is available on the BSIA website and has also been put forward to the Fire and Security Excellence Awards for Best Contribution to Standards in the Security Sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration. Bayshore will be the exclusive provider of this combined technology to customers worldwide through GE Digital, Bayshore, and other sales channels. OpShield NextGeneration can reportedly protect most HMI and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems from unauthorised and potentially high-risk or dangerous network activity such as unscheduled configuration changes, unscheduled maintenance events, indicators of reconnaissance and surveillance, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, network spoofing and piggybacking.\n\n\u201cIndustrial companies will now usually agree that they have hosts and applications which are no longer separated, or \u2018air-gapped\u2019 off for safe, isolated operations from the rest of the company or from outsiders and the internet,\u201d explined Sid Snitkin, Vice President Cybersecurity Advisory Services, ARC Advisory. \u201cThese types of systems are susceptible to certain OT network attacks.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is available on the BSIA website and has also been put forward to the Fire and Security Excellence Awards for Best Contribution to Standards in the Security Sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

They have the rugged strength, extreme temperature tolerance, high power output, and quiet, dust-resistant operation that would make them the ideal choice for these demanding applications.\u201d\n\nThe two new models are the DTK-SW4IND 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Industrial Switch and the DTK-SW8IND 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Industrial Switch. Both models support up to 30W of power per port while delivering network speeds of up to 1Gbps. Total PoE Budget for the 4-port model is 120W, and total PoE Budget for the 8-port model is 240W.\n\nThe new switches offer IP40-rated metal cases and a fanless design. They also both have a -40 to 75 degrees Celcius operating temperature range. Both models feature 10\/100\/1000Mbps autosensing ports that automatically detect optimal network speeds as well as two pluggable GBIC module slots (SFP).\n\nThe new models are designed for PoE Network devices, as well as Wireless Access Points and IP Video Cameras. Both models come with an included DIN-rail mounting bracket, and require a separate DC industrial power supply (not included).\n\nwww.diteknetworks.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ditek Networks unveils PoE+ Switches for security integrators","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ditek-networks-unveils-poe-switches-for-security-integrators","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-07 19:16:30","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-07 19:16:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4479","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4178,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-07 14:52:36","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-07 14:52:36","post_content":"Nozomi Networks and Chinook Systems have partnered to provide advanced cybersecurity solutions to protect industrial and critical infrastructure facilities across North America.

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is available on the BSIA website and has also been put forward to the Fire and Security Excellence Awards for Best Contribution to Standards in the Security Sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is available on the BSIA website and has also been put forward to the Fire and Security Excellence Awards for Best Contribution to Standards in the Security Sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed.

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is available on the BSIA website and has also been put forward to the Fire and Security Excellence Awards for Best Contribution to Standards in the Security Sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration. Bayshore will be the exclusive provider of this combined technology to customers worldwide through GE Digital, Bayshore, and other sales channels. OpShield NextGeneration can reportedly protect most HMI and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems from unauthorised and potentially high-risk or dangerous network activity such as unscheduled configuration changes, unscheduled maintenance events, indicators of reconnaissance and surveillance, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, network spoofing and piggybacking.\n\n\u201cIndustrial companies will now usually agree that they have hosts and applications which are no longer separated, or \u2018air-gapped\u2019 off for safe, isolated operations from the rest of the company or from outsiders and the internet,\u201d explined Sid Snitkin, Vice President Cybersecurity Advisory Services, ARC Advisory. \u201cThese types of systems are susceptible to certain OT network attacks.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is available on the BSIA website and has also been put forward to the Fire and Security Excellence Awards for Best Contribution to Standards in the Security Sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks.

Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Bosch Building Technologies plans to acquire Hoerburger AG, headquartered in Waltenhofen, Bavaria, Germany. Bosch and the owners of Hoerburger AG signed corresponding agreements at the end of 2021. Hoerburger offers a comprehensive portfolio of products and solutions focusing on building automation and energy management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company reportedly has 45 years of experience in planning and implementing projects and providing services in this area. A major focus of its activities is the efficient and sustainable operation of buildings. The solutions are used in numerous sectors, for example in large industrial companies, healthcare facilities, and retail chains. Hoerburger has more than 200 employees at six locations in Germany and one location in Romania and generated sales of 33 million euros in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are very much looking forward to working with Hoerburger's highly experienced employees to jointly shape and expand the fast-growing market for smart building solutions in the future,\" said Thomas Quante, president of Bosch Building Technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Digitalisation, connectivity, and artificial intelligence are opening up ever more opportunities for us to transform commercial buildings into smart living and working environments that provide people with increased security, safety, and comfort, and ensure greater sustainability. Hoerburger's many years of experience will further strengthen our current portfolio in the areas of building security, safety, energy services, and building automation,\" Quante continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is available on the BSIA website and has also been put forward to the Fire and Security Excellence Awards for Best Contribution to Standards in the Security Sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is available on the BSIA website and has also been put forward to the Fire and Security Excellence Awards for Best Contribution to Standards in the Security Sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration. Bayshore will be the exclusive provider of this combined technology to customers worldwide through GE Digital, Bayshore, and other sales channels. OpShield NextGeneration can reportedly protect most HMI and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems from unauthorised and potentially high-risk or dangerous network activity such as unscheduled configuration changes, unscheduled maintenance events, indicators of reconnaissance and surveillance, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, network spoofing and piggybacking.\n\n\u201cIndustrial companies will now usually agree that they have hosts and applications which are no longer separated, or \u2018air-gapped\u2019 off for safe, isolated operations from the rest of the company or from outsiders and the internet,\u201d explined Sid Snitkin, Vice President Cybersecurity Advisory Services, ARC Advisory. \u201cThese types of systems are susceptible to certain OT network attacks.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is available on the BSIA website and has also been put forward to the Fire and Security Excellence Awards for Best Contribution to Standards in the Security Sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

OpShield NextGeneration can reportedly protect most HMI and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems from unauthorised and potentially high-risk or dangerous network activity such as unscheduled configuration changes, unscheduled maintenance events, indicators of reconnaissance and surveillance, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, network spoofing and piggybacking.\n\n\u201cIndustrial companies will now usually agree that they have hosts and applications which are no longer separated, or \u2018air-gapped\u2019 off for safe, isolated operations from the rest of the company or from outsiders and the internet,\u201d explined Sid Snitkin, Vice President Cybersecurity Advisory Services, ARC Advisory. \u201cThese types of systems are susceptible to certain OT network attacks. And with the influence of the pandemic, the industrial attack surface and the resulting cyber risk just continues to increase.\u201d\n\nwww.bayshorenetworks.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bayshore Networks and GE Digital combine to secure industrial networks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bayshore-networks-and-ge-digital-combine-to-secure-industrial-networks","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-09 07:57:04","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-09 07:57:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4859","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4689,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-27 16:31:38","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:38","post_content":"Cybersecurity solutions for industrial automation networks specialist, Radiflow, has announced significant growth in revenues and bookings following the launch of new products in 2020 and continued international expansion.\n\n\u201cAlthough last year has been a challenge for many vendors due to the impact of the global pandemic reducing overall IT spending, the OT cybersecurity space has been relatively unaffected and Radiflow has experienced its best year to date,\u201d explained Ilan Barda, CEO of Radiflow. \u201cOur critical national infrastructure (CNI) business continued its consistent growth, but the biggest growth has been within manufacturing \u2013 an area that had traditionally been less active in the cyber security space and has been prompted to strengthen its defences following a number of high-profile breaches during 2019\/20 \u2013 today, nearly one third of our revenues come from manufacturing.\u201d\n\nRadiflow recorded a two times increase in sales during 2020 compared to the previous year and a three times increase in bookings. Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat. These powerful machines stress test to determine a product\u2019s expected lifespan and the suitability of components during the design process.<\/a>\n\nIf you have a product that needs testing, or need advice on compliance, then you can get in touch with the Paxton test experts at https:\/\/paxtontestfacility.co.uk\/contact-us\/<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton's Brighton EMC test facility secures UKAS accreditation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxtons-brighton-emc-test-facility-secures-ukas-accreditation","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=14820","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10842,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2022-06-22 11:18:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-22 10:18:00","post_content":"\n

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is available on the BSIA website and has also been put forward to the Fire and Security Excellence Awards for Best Contribution to Standards in the Security Sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

They have the rugged strength, extreme temperature tolerance, high power output, and quiet, dust-resistant operation that would make them the ideal choice for these demanding applications.\u201d\n\nThe two new models are the DTK-SW4IND 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Industrial Switch and the DTK-SW8IND 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Industrial Switch. Both models support up to 30W of power per port while delivering network speeds of up to 1Gbps. Total PoE Budget for the 4-port model is 120W, and total PoE Budget for the 8-port model is 240W.\n\nThe new switches offer IP40-rated metal cases and a fanless design. They also both have a -40 to 75 degrees Celcius operating temperature range. Both models feature 10\/100\/1000Mbps autosensing ports that automatically detect optimal network speeds as well as two pluggable GBIC module slots (SFP).\n\nThe new models are designed for PoE Network devices, as well as Wireless Access Points and IP Video Cameras. Both models come with an included DIN-rail mounting bracket, and require a separate DC industrial power supply (not included).\n\nwww.diteknetworks.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ditek Networks unveils PoE+ Switches for security integrators","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ditek-networks-unveils-poe-switches-for-security-integrators","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-07 19:16:30","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-07 19:16:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4479","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4178,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-12-07 14:52:36","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-07 14:52:36","post_content":"Nozomi Networks and Chinook Systems have partnered to provide advanced cybersecurity solutions to protect industrial and critical infrastructure facilities across North America.

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat.

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat.

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat.

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration. Bayshore will be the exclusive provider of this combined technology to customers worldwide through GE Digital, Bayshore, and other sales channels. OpShield NextGeneration can reportedly protect most HMI and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems from unauthorised and potentially high-risk or dangerous network activity such as unscheduled configuration changes, unscheduled maintenance events, indicators of reconnaissance and surveillance, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, network spoofing and piggybacking.\n\n\u201cIndustrial companies will now usually agree that they have hosts and applications which are no longer separated, or \u2018air-gapped\u2019 off for safe, isolated operations from the rest of the company or from outsiders and the internet,\u201d explined Sid Snitkin, Vice President Cybersecurity Advisory Services, ARC Advisory. \u201cThese types of systems are susceptible to certain OT network attacks.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat.

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day.

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat. These powerful machines stress test to determine a product\u2019s expected lifespan and the suitability of components during the design process.<\/a>\n\nIf you have a product that needs testing, or need advice on compliance, then you can get in touch with the Paxton test experts at https:\/\/paxtontestfacility.co.uk\/contact-us\/<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton's Brighton EMC test facility secures UKAS accreditation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxtons-brighton-emc-test-facility-secures-ukas-accreditation","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=14820","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10842,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2022-06-22 11:18:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-22 10:18:00","post_content":"\n

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day.

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat. These powerful machines stress test to determine a product\u2019s expected lifespan and the suitability of components during the design process.<\/a>\n\nIf you have a product that needs testing, or need advice on compliance, then you can get in touch with the Paxton test experts at https:\/\/paxtontestfacility.co.uk\/contact-us\/<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton's Brighton EMC test facility secures UKAS accreditation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxtons-brighton-emc-test-facility-secures-ukas-accreditation","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=14820","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10842,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2022-06-22 11:18:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-22 10:18:00","post_content":"\n

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Each PULSE key also contains an RFID chip: It doubles as an access card for the entrance and communal areas, so tenants only need to carry one credential for multiple openings around the property. It\u2019s more convenient and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat. These powerful machines stress test to determine a product\u2019s expected lifespan and the suitability of components during the design process.<\/a>\n\nIf you have a product that needs testing, or need advice on compliance, then you can get in touch with the Paxton test experts at https:\/\/paxtontestfacility.co.uk\/contact-us\/<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton's Brighton EMC test facility secures UKAS accreditation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxtons-brighton-emc-test-facility-secures-ukas-accreditation","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=14820","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10842,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2022-06-22 11:18:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-22 10:18:00","post_content":"\n

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

A Place To\u2019s security administrators manage access control with cloud-based software. They can change anyone\u2019s access permissions online. Users update their own keys at integrated door-phones or online readers. This ensures resident access permissions are always current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each PULSE key also contains an RFID chip: It doubles as an access card for the entrance and communal areas, so tenants only need to carry one credential for multiple openings around the property. It\u2019s more convenient and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat. These powerful machines stress test to determine a product\u2019s expected lifespan and the suitability of components during the design process.<\/a>\n\nIf you have a product that needs testing, or need advice on compliance, then you can get in touch with the Paxton test experts at https:\/\/paxtontestfacility.co.uk\/contact-us\/<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton's Brighton EMC test facility secures UKAS accreditation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxtons-brighton-emc-test-facility-secures-ukas-accreditation","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=14820","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10842,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2022-06-22 11:18:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-22 10:18:00","post_content":"\n

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

PULSE devices are self-powered and need no external energy source. The cylinder\u2019s encrypted electronic security is energized with power generated by key insertion. \u201cIt was a big plus with PULSE that keys and locks are battery and cable free,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Place To\u2019s security administrators manage access control with cloud-based software. They can change anyone\u2019s access permissions online. Users update their own keys at integrated door-phones or online readers. This ensures resident access permissions are always current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each PULSE key also contains an RFID chip: It doubles as an access card for the entrance and communal areas, so tenants only need to carry one credential for multiple openings around the property. It\u2019s more convenient and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat. These powerful machines stress test to determine a product\u2019s expected lifespan and the suitability of components during the design process.<\/a>\n\nIf you have a product that needs testing, or need advice on compliance, then you can get in touch with the Paxton test experts at https:\/\/paxtontestfacility.co.uk\/contact-us\/<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton's Brighton EMC test facility secures UKAS accreditation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxtons-brighton-emc-test-facility-secures-ukas-accreditation","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=14820","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10842,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2022-06-22 11:18:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-22 10:18:00","post_content":"\n

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

PULSE key-operated electronic cylinders with energy-harvesting technology now secure more than 300 apartments at A Place To: \u201cWe went for a future-proof solution which was maintenance-free and where we did not have to change batteries,\u201d explains Peter H\u00f8pfner, their COO and Founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE devices are self-powered and need no external energy source. The cylinder\u2019s encrypted electronic security is energized with power generated by key insertion. \u201cIt was a big plus with PULSE that keys and locks are battery and cable free,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Place To\u2019s security administrators manage access control with cloud-based software. They can change anyone\u2019s access permissions online. Users update their own keys at integrated door-phones or online readers. This ensures resident access permissions are always current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each PULSE key also contains an RFID chip: It doubles as an access card for the entrance and communal areas, so tenants only need to carry one credential for multiple openings around the property. It\u2019s more convenient and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat. These powerful machines stress test to determine a product\u2019s expected lifespan and the suitability of components during the design process.<\/a>\n\nIf you have a product that needs testing, or need advice on compliance, then you can get in touch with the Paxton test experts at https:\/\/paxtontestfacility.co.uk\/contact-us\/<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton's Brighton EMC test facility secures UKAS accreditation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxtons-brighton-emc-test-facility-secures-ukas-accreditation","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=14820","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10842,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2022-06-22 11:18:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-22 10:18:00","post_content":"\n

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

PULSE key-operated electronic cylinders with energy-harvesting technology now secure more than 300 apartments at A Place To: \u201cWe went for a future-proof solution which was maintenance-free and where we did not have to change batteries,\u201d explains Peter H\u00f8pfner, their COO and Founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE devices are self-powered and need no external energy source. The cylinder\u2019s encrypted electronic security is energized with power generated by key insertion. \u201cIt was a big plus with PULSE that keys and locks are battery and cable free,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Place To\u2019s security administrators manage access control with cloud-based software. They can change anyone\u2019s access permissions online. Users update their own keys at integrated door-phones or online readers. This ensures resident access permissions are always current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each PULSE key also contains an RFID chip: It doubles as an access card for the entrance and communal areas, so tenants only need to carry one credential for multiple openings around the property. It\u2019s more convenient and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat. These powerful machines stress test to determine a product\u2019s expected lifespan and the suitability of components during the design process.<\/a>\n\nIf you have a product that needs testing, or need advice on compliance, then you can get in touch with the Paxton test experts at https:\/\/paxtontestfacility.co.uk\/contact-us\/<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton's Brighton EMC test facility secures UKAS accreditation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxtons-brighton-emc-test-facility-secures-ukas-accreditation","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=14820","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10842,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2022-06-22 11:18:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-22 10:18:00","post_content":"\n

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Energy harvesting access management \u00a0in the cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE key-operated electronic cylinders with energy-harvesting technology now secure more than 300 apartments at A Place To: \u201cWe went for a future-proof solution which was maintenance-free and where we did not have to change batteries,\u201d explains Peter H\u00f8pfner, their COO and Founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE devices are self-powered and need no external energy source. The cylinder\u2019s encrypted electronic security is energized with power generated by key insertion. \u201cIt was a big plus with PULSE that keys and locks are battery and cable free,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Place To\u2019s security administrators manage access control with cloud-based software. They can change anyone\u2019s access permissions online. Users update their own keys at integrated door-phones or online readers. This ensures resident access permissions are always current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each PULSE key also contains an RFID chip: It doubles as an access card for the entrance and communal areas, so tenants only need to carry one credential for multiple openings around the property. It\u2019s more convenient and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat. These powerful machines stress test to determine a product\u2019s expected lifespan and the suitability of components during the design process.<\/a>\n\nIf you have a product that needs testing, or need advice on compliance, then you can get in touch with the Paxton test experts at https:\/\/paxtontestfacility.co.uk\/contact-us\/<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton's Brighton EMC test facility secures UKAS accreditation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxtons-brighton-emc-test-facility-secures-ukas-accreditation","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=14820","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10842,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2022-06-22 11:18:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-22 10:18:00","post_content":"\n

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

\n

Other priorities included integration-readiness. Electronic locking at A Place To must work seamlessly with other building technologies including online readers and door-phones. They wanted cloud-based management, to keep staff in control 24\/7 from anywhere. Managers also knew that any solution must be future-proof by design: New features or capacity anytime may be required at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy harvesting access management \u00a0in the cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE key-operated electronic cylinders with energy-harvesting technology now secure more than 300 apartments at A Place To: \u201cWe went for a future-proof solution which was maintenance-free and where we did not have to change batteries,\u201d explains Peter H\u00f8pfner, their COO and Founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE devices are self-powered and need no external energy source. The cylinder\u2019s encrypted electronic security is energized with power generated by key insertion. \u201cIt was a big plus with PULSE that keys and locks are battery and cable free,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Place To\u2019s security administrators manage access control with cloud-based software. They can change anyone\u2019s access permissions online. Users update their own keys at integrated door-phones or online readers. This ensures resident access permissions are always current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each PULSE key also contains an RFID chip: It doubles as an access card for the entrance and communal areas, so tenants only need to carry one credential for multiple openings around the property. It\u2019s more convenient and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat. These powerful machines stress test to determine a product\u2019s expected lifespan and the suitability of components during the design process.<\/a>\n\nIf you have a product that needs testing, or need advice on compliance, then you can get in touch with the Paxton test experts at https:\/\/paxtontestfacility.co.uk\/contact-us\/<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton's Brighton EMC test facility secures UKAS accreditation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxtons-brighton-emc-test-facility-secures-ukas-accreditation","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=14820","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10842,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2022-06-22 11:18:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-22 10:18:00","post_content":"\n

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format.

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

\n

For efficient access control, they looked for an energy-saving solution which would operate without batteries or wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other priorities included integration-readiness. Electronic locking at A Place To must work seamlessly with other building technologies including online readers and door-phones. They wanted cloud-based management, to keep staff in control 24\/7 from anywhere. Managers also knew that any solution must be future-proof by design: New features or capacity anytime may be required at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy harvesting access management \u00a0in the cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE key-operated electronic cylinders with energy-harvesting technology now secure more than 300 apartments at A Place To: \u201cWe went for a future-proof solution which was maintenance-free and where we did not have to change batteries,\u201d explains Peter H\u00f8pfner, their COO and Founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE devices are self-powered and need no external energy source. The cylinder\u2019s encrypted electronic security is energized with power generated by key insertion. \u201cIt was a big plus with PULSE that keys and locks are battery and cable free,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Place To\u2019s security administrators manage access control with cloud-based software. They can change anyone\u2019s access permissions online. Users update their own keys at integrated door-phones or online readers. This ensures resident access permissions are always current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each PULSE key also contains an RFID chip: It doubles as an access card for the entrance and communal areas, so tenants only need to carry one credential for multiple openings around the property. It\u2019s more convenient and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat. These powerful machines stress test to determine a product\u2019s expected lifespan and the suitability of components during the design process.<\/a>\n\nIf you have a product that needs testing, or need advice on compliance, then you can get in touch with the Paxton test experts at https:\/\/paxtontestfacility.co.uk\/contact-us\/<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton's Brighton EMC test facility secures UKAS accreditation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxtons-brighton-emc-test-facility-secures-ukas-accreditation","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=14820","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10842,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2022-06-22 11:18:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-22 10:18:00","post_content":"\n

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format.

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Sustainability is core to their vision. As they grow \u2014 at future properties in Copenhagen, Horsens and beyond \u2014 A Place To aims for the operation and maintenance of all buildings to be DGNB-certified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For efficient access control, they looked for an energy-saving solution which would operate without batteries or wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other priorities included integration-readiness. Electronic locking at A Place To must work seamlessly with other building technologies including online readers and door-phones. They wanted cloud-based management, to keep staff in control 24\/7 from anywhere. Managers also knew that any solution must be future-proof by design: New features or capacity anytime may be required at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy harvesting access management \u00a0in the cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE key-operated electronic cylinders with energy-harvesting technology now secure more than 300 apartments at A Place To: \u201cWe went for a future-proof solution which was maintenance-free and where we did not have to change batteries,\u201d explains Peter H\u00f8pfner, their COO and Founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE devices are self-powered and need no external energy source. The cylinder\u2019s encrypted electronic security is energized with power generated by key insertion. \u201cIt was a big plus with PULSE that keys and locks are battery and cable free,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Place To\u2019s security administrators manage access control with cloud-based software. They can change anyone\u2019s access permissions online. Users update their own keys at integrated door-phones or online readers. This ensures resident access permissions are always current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each PULSE key also contains an RFID chip: It doubles as an access card for the entrance and communal areas, so tenants only need to carry one credential for multiple openings around the property. It\u2019s more convenient and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat. These powerful machines stress test to determine a product\u2019s expected lifespan and the suitability of components during the design process.<\/a>\n\nIf you have a product that needs testing, or need advice on compliance, then you can get in touch with the Paxton test experts at https:\/\/paxtontestfacility.co.uk\/contact-us\/<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton's Brighton EMC test facility secures UKAS accreditation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxtons-brighton-emc-test-facility-secures-ukas-accreditation","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=14820","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10842,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2022-06-22 11:18:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-22 10:18:00","post_content":"\n

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

At A Place To, Esbjerg, more than 400 apartments connect with shared common \u201cco-living\u201d areas. There\u2019s a cafe, fitness and yoga, a big screen, reading nooks and workstations, communal kitchens and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability is core to their vision. As they grow \u2014 at future properties in Copenhagen, Horsens and beyond \u2014 A Place To aims for the operation and maintenance of all buildings to be DGNB-certified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For efficient access control, they looked for an energy-saving solution which would operate without batteries or wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other priorities included integration-readiness. Electronic locking at A Place To must work seamlessly with other building technologies including online readers and door-phones. They wanted cloud-based management, to keep staff in control 24\/7 from anywhere. Managers also knew that any solution must be future-proof by design: New features or capacity anytime may be required at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy harvesting access management \u00a0in the cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE key-operated electronic cylinders with energy-harvesting technology now secure more than 300 apartments at A Place To: \u201cWe went for a future-proof solution which was maintenance-free and where we did not have to change batteries,\u201d explains Peter H\u00f8pfner, their COO and Founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE devices are self-powered and need no external energy source. The cylinder\u2019s encrypted electronic security is energized with power generated by key insertion. \u201cIt was a big plus with PULSE that keys and locks are battery and cable free,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Place To\u2019s security administrators manage access control with cloud-based software. They can change anyone\u2019s access permissions online. Users update their own keys at integrated door-phones or online readers. This ensures resident access permissions are always current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each PULSE key also contains an RFID chip: It doubles as an access card for the entrance and communal areas, so tenants only need to carry one credential for multiple openings around the property. It\u2019s more convenient and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat. These powerful machines stress test to determine a product\u2019s expected lifespan and the suitability of components during the design process.<\/a>\n\nIf you have a product that needs testing, or need advice on compliance, then you can get in touch with the Paxton test experts at https:\/\/paxtontestfacility.co.uk\/contact-us\/<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton's Brighton EMC test facility secures UKAS accreditation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxtons-brighton-emc-test-facility-secures-ukas-accreditation","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=14820","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10842,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2022-06-22 11:18:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-22 10:18:00","post_content":"\n

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is available on the BSIA website and has also been put forward to the Fire and Security Excellence Awards for Best Contribution to Standards in the Security Sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Businesses in every sector face the challenge of operating more sustainably. Construction is no different. As a Premium Member of Green Building Council Denmark, the developer of Esbjerg\u2019s new \u201cA Place To\u201d housing complex sought efficient access control to complement a contemporary style and sustainability ethos. Energy harvesting technology provided the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At A Place To, Esbjerg, more than 400 apartments connect with shared common \u201cco-living\u201d areas. There\u2019s a cafe, fitness and yoga, a big screen, reading nooks and workstations, communal kitchens and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability is core to their vision. As they grow \u2014 at future properties in Copenhagen, Horsens and beyond \u2014 A Place To aims for the operation and maintenance of all buildings to be DGNB-certified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For efficient access control, they looked for an energy-saving solution which would operate without batteries or wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other priorities included integration-readiness. Electronic locking at A Place To must work seamlessly with other building technologies including online readers and door-phones. They wanted cloud-based management, to keep staff in control 24\/7 from anywhere. Managers also knew that any solution must be future-proof by design: New features or capacity anytime may be required at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy harvesting access management \u00a0in the cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE key-operated electronic cylinders with energy-harvesting technology now secure more than 300 apartments at A Place To: \u201cWe went for a future-proof solution which was maintenance-free and where we did not have to change batteries,\u201d explains Peter H\u00f8pfner, their COO and Founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE devices are self-powered and need no external energy source. The cylinder\u2019s encrypted electronic security is energized with power generated by key insertion. \u201cIt was a big plus with PULSE that keys and locks are battery and cable free,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Place To\u2019s security administrators manage access control with cloud-based software. They can change anyone\u2019s access permissions online. Users update their own keys at integrated door-phones or online readers. This ensures resident access permissions are always current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each PULSE key also contains an RFID chip: It doubles as an access card for the entrance and communal areas, so tenants only need to carry one credential for multiple openings around the property. It\u2019s more convenient and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat. These powerful machines stress test to determine a product\u2019s expected lifespan and the suitability of components during the design process.<\/a>\n\nIf you have a product that needs testing, or need advice on compliance, then you can get in touch with the Paxton test experts at https:\/\/paxtontestfacility.co.uk\/contact-us\/<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton's Brighton EMC test facility secures UKAS accreditation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxtons-brighton-emc-test-facility-secures-ukas-accreditation","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=14820","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10842,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2022-06-22 11:18:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-22 10:18:00","post_content":"\n

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is available on the BSIA website and has also been put forward to the Fire and Security Excellence Awards for Best Contribution to Standards in the Security Sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Businesses in every sector face the challenge of operating more sustainably. Construction is no different. As a Premium Member of Green Building Council Denmark, the developer of Esbjerg\u2019s new \u201cA Place To\u201d housing complex sought efficient access control to complement a contemporary style and sustainability ethos. Energy harvesting technology provided the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At A Place To, Esbjerg, more than 400 apartments connect with shared common \u201cco-living\u201d areas. There\u2019s a cafe, fitness and yoga, a big screen, reading nooks and workstations, communal kitchens and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability is core to their vision. As they grow \u2014 at future properties in Copenhagen, Horsens and beyond \u2014 A Place To aims for the operation and maintenance of all buildings to be DGNB-certified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For efficient access control, they looked for an energy-saving solution which would operate without batteries or wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other priorities included integration-readiness. Electronic locking at A Place To must work seamlessly with other building technologies including online readers and door-phones. They wanted cloud-based management, to keep staff in control 24\/7 from anywhere. Managers also knew that any solution must be future-proof by design: New features or capacity anytime may be required at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy harvesting access management \u00a0in the cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE key-operated electronic cylinders with energy-harvesting technology now secure more than 300 apartments at A Place To: \u201cWe went for a future-proof solution which was maintenance-free and where we did not have to change batteries,\u201d explains Peter H\u00f8pfner, their COO and Founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE devices are self-powered and need no external energy source. The cylinder\u2019s encrypted electronic security is energized with power generated by key insertion. \u201cIt was a big plus with PULSE that keys and locks are battery and cable free,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Place To\u2019s security administrators manage access control with cloud-based software. They can change anyone\u2019s access permissions online. Users update their own keys at integrated door-phones or online readers. This ensures resident access permissions are always current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each PULSE key also contains an RFID chip: It doubles as an access card for the entrance and communal areas, so tenants only need to carry one credential for multiple openings around the property. It\u2019s more convenient and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat. These powerful machines stress test to determine a product\u2019s expected lifespan and the suitability of components during the design process.<\/a>\n\nIf you have a product that needs testing, or need advice on compliance, then you can get in touch with the Paxton test experts at https:\/\/paxtontestfacility.co.uk\/contact-us\/<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton's Brighton EMC test facility secures UKAS accreditation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxtons-brighton-emc-test-facility-secures-ukas-accreditation","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=14820","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10842,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2022-06-22 11:18:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-22 10:18:00","post_content":"\n

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Businesses in every sector face the challenge of operating more sustainably. Construction is no different. As a Premium Member of Green Building Council Denmark, the developer of Esbjerg\u2019s new \u201cA Place To\u201d housing complex sought efficient access control to complement a contemporary style and sustainability ethos. Energy harvesting technology provided the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At A Place To, Esbjerg, more than 400 apartments connect with shared common \u201cco-living\u201d areas. There\u2019s a cafe, fitness and yoga, a big screen, reading nooks and workstations, communal kitchens and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability is core to their vision. As they grow \u2014 at future properties in Copenhagen, Horsens and beyond \u2014 A Place To aims for the operation and maintenance of all buildings to be DGNB-certified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For efficient access control, they looked for an energy-saving solution which would operate without batteries or wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other priorities included integration-readiness. Electronic locking at A Place To must work seamlessly with other building technologies including online readers and door-phones. They wanted cloud-based management, to keep staff in control 24\/7 from anywhere. Managers also knew that any solution must be future-proof by design: New features or capacity anytime may be required at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy harvesting access management \u00a0in the cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE key-operated electronic cylinders with energy-harvesting technology now secure more than 300 apartments at A Place To: \u201cWe went for a future-proof solution which was maintenance-free and where we did not have to change batteries,\u201d explains Peter H\u00f8pfner, their COO and Founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE devices are self-powered and need no external energy source. The cylinder\u2019s encrypted electronic security is energized with power generated by key insertion. \u201cIt was a big plus with PULSE that keys and locks are battery and cable free,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Place To\u2019s security administrators manage access control with cloud-based software. They can change anyone\u2019s access permissions online. Users update their own keys at integrated door-phones or online readers. This ensures resident access permissions are always current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each PULSE key also contains an RFID chip: It doubles as an access card for the entrance and communal areas, so tenants only need to carry one credential for multiple openings around the property. It\u2019s more convenient and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat.

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is available on the BSIA website and has also been put forward to the Fire and Security Excellence Awards for Best Contribution to Standards in the Security Sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Businesses in every sector face the challenge of operating more sustainably. Construction is no different. As a Premium Member of Green Building Council Denmark, the developer of Esbjerg\u2019s new \u201cA Place To\u201d housing complex sought efficient access control to complement a contemporary style and sustainability ethos. Energy harvesting technology provided the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At A Place To, Esbjerg, more than 400 apartments connect with shared common \u201cco-living\u201d areas. There\u2019s a cafe, fitness and yoga, a big screen, reading nooks and workstations, communal kitchens and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability is core to their vision. As they grow \u2014 at future properties in Copenhagen, Horsens and beyond \u2014 A Place To aims for the operation and maintenance of all buildings to be DGNB-certified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For efficient access control, they looked for an energy-saving solution which would operate without batteries or wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other priorities included integration-readiness. Electronic locking at A Place To must work seamlessly with other building technologies including online readers and door-phones. They wanted cloud-based management, to keep staff in control 24\/7 from anywhere. Managers also knew that any solution must be future-proof by design: New features or capacity anytime may be required at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy harvesting access management \u00a0in the cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE key-operated electronic cylinders with energy-harvesting technology now secure more than 300 apartments at A Place To: \u201cWe went for a future-proof solution which was maintenance-free and where we did not have to change batteries,\u201d explains Peter H\u00f8pfner, their COO and Founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE devices are self-powered and need no external energy source. The cylinder\u2019s encrypted electronic security is energized with power generated by key insertion. \u201cIt was a big plus with PULSE that keys and locks are battery and cable free,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Place To\u2019s security administrators manage access control with cloud-based software. They can change anyone\u2019s access permissions online. Users update their own keys at integrated door-phones or online readers. This ensures resident access permissions are always current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each PULSE key also contains an RFID chip: It doubles as an access card for the entrance and communal areas, so tenants only need to carry one credential for multiple openings around the property. It\u2019s more convenient and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment.

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is available on the BSIA website and has also been put forward to the Fire and Security Excellence Awards for Best Contribution to Standards in the Security Sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration. Bayshore will be the exclusive provider of this combined technology to customers worldwide through GE Digital, Bayshore, and other sales channels. OpShield NextGeneration can reportedly protect most HMI and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems from unauthorised and potentially high-risk or dangerous network activity such as unscheduled configuration changes, unscheduled maintenance events, indicators of reconnaissance and surveillance, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, network spoofing and piggybacking.\n\n\u201cIndustrial companies will now usually agree that they have hosts and applications which are no longer separated, or \u2018air-gapped\u2019 off for safe, isolated operations from the rest of the company or from outsiders and the internet,\u201d explined Sid Snitkin, Vice President Cybersecurity Advisory Services, ARC Advisory. \u201cThese types of systems are susceptible to certain OT network attacks. And with the influence of the pandemic, the industrial attack surface and the resulting cyber risk just continues to increase.\u201d\n\nwww.bayshorenetworks.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bayshore Networks and GE Digital combine to secure industrial networks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bayshore-networks-and-ge-digital-combine-to-secure-industrial-networks","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-09 07:57:04","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-09 07:57:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4859","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4689,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-27 16:31:38","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:38","post_content":"Cybersecurity solutions for industrial automation networks specialist, Radiflow, has announced significant growth in revenues and bookings following the launch of new products in 2020 and continued international expansion.\n\n\u201cAlthough last year has been a challenge for many vendors due to the impact of the global pandemic reducing overall IT spending, the OT cybersecurity space has been relatively unaffected and Radiflow has experienced its best year to date,\u201d explained Ilan Barda, CEO of Radiflow. \u201cOur critical national infrastructure (CNI) business continued its consistent growth, but the biggest growth has been within manufacturing \u2013 an area that had traditionally been less active in the cyber security space and has been prompted to strengthen its defences following a number of high-profile breaches during 2019\/20 \u2013 today, nearly one third of our revenues come from manufacturing.\u201d\n\nRadiflow recorded a two times increase in sales during 2020 compared to the previous year and a three times increase in bookings. Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Businesses in every sector face the challenge of operating more sustainably. Construction is no different. As a Premium Member of Green Building Council Denmark, the developer of Esbjerg\u2019s new \u201cA Place To\u201d housing complex sought efficient access control to complement a contemporary style and sustainability ethos. Energy harvesting technology provided the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At A Place To, Esbjerg, more than 400 apartments connect with shared common \u201cco-living\u201d areas. There\u2019s a cafe, fitness and yoga, a big screen, reading nooks and workstations, communal kitchens and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability is core to their vision. As they grow \u2014 at future properties in Copenhagen, Horsens and beyond \u2014 A Place To aims for the operation and maintenance of all buildings to be DGNB-certified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For efficient access control, they looked for an energy-saving solution which would operate without batteries or wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other priorities included integration-readiness. Electronic locking at A Place To must work seamlessly with other building technologies including online readers and door-phones. They wanted cloud-based management, to keep staff in control 24\/7 from anywhere. Managers also knew that any solution must be future-proof by design: New features or capacity anytime may be required at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy harvesting access management \u00a0in the cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE key-operated electronic cylinders with energy-harvesting technology now secure more than 300 apartments at A Place To: \u201cWe went for a future-proof solution which was maintenance-free and where we did not have to change batteries,\u201d explains Peter H\u00f8pfner, their COO and Founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE devices are self-powered and need no external energy source. The cylinder\u2019s encrypted electronic security is energized with power generated by key insertion. \u201cIt was a big plus with PULSE that keys and locks are battery and cable free,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Place To\u2019s security administrators manage access control with cloud-based software. They can change anyone\u2019s access permissions online. Users update their own keys at integrated door-phones or online readers. This ensures resident access permissions are always current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each PULSE key also contains an RFID chip: It doubles as an access card for the entrance and communal areas, so tenants only need to carry one credential for multiple openings around the property. It\u2019s more convenient and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat. These powerful machines stress test to determine a product\u2019s expected lifespan and the suitability of components during the design process.<\/a>\n\nIf you have a product that needs testing, or need advice on compliance, then you can get in touch with the Paxton test experts at https:\/\/paxtontestfacility.co.uk\/contact-us\/<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton's Brighton EMC test facility secures UKAS accreditation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxtons-brighton-emc-test-facility-secures-ukas-accreditation","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=14820","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10842,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2022-06-22 11:18:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-22 10:18:00","post_content":"\n

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant.

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration. Bayshore will be the exclusive provider of this combined technology to customers worldwide through GE Digital, Bayshore, and other sales channels. OpShield NextGeneration can reportedly protect most HMI and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems from unauthorised and potentially high-risk or dangerous network activity such as unscheduled configuration changes, unscheduled maintenance events, indicators of reconnaissance and surveillance, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, network spoofing and piggybacking.\n\n\u201cIndustrial companies will now usually agree that they have hosts and applications which are no longer separated, or \u2018air-gapped\u2019 off for safe, isolated operations from the rest of the company or from outsiders and the internet,\u201d explined Sid Snitkin, Vice President Cybersecurity Advisory Services, ARC Advisory. \u201cThese types of systems are susceptible to certain OT network attacks.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Businesses in every sector face the challenge of operating more sustainably. Construction is no different. As a Premium Member of Green Building Council Denmark, the developer of Esbjerg\u2019s new \u201cA Place To\u201d housing complex sought efficient access control to complement a contemporary style and sustainability ethos. Energy harvesting technology provided the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At A Place To, Esbjerg, more than 400 apartments connect with shared common \u201cco-living\u201d areas. There\u2019s a cafe, fitness and yoga, a big screen, reading nooks and workstations, communal kitchens and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability is core to their vision. As they grow \u2014 at future properties in Copenhagen, Horsens and beyond \u2014 A Place To aims for the operation and maintenance of all buildings to be DGNB-certified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For efficient access control, they looked for an energy-saving solution which would operate without batteries or wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other priorities included integration-readiness. Electronic locking at A Place To must work seamlessly with other building technologies including online readers and door-phones. They wanted cloud-based management, to keep staff in control 24\/7 from anywhere. Managers also knew that any solution must be future-proof by design: New features or capacity anytime may be required at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy harvesting access management \u00a0in the cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE key-operated electronic cylinders with energy-harvesting technology now secure more than 300 apartments at A Place To: \u201cWe went for a future-proof solution which was maintenance-free and where we did not have to change batteries,\u201d explains Peter H\u00f8pfner, their COO and Founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE devices are self-powered and need no external energy source. The cylinder\u2019s encrypted electronic security is energized with power generated by key insertion. \u201cIt was a big plus with PULSE that keys and locks are battery and cable free,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Place To\u2019s security administrators manage access control with cloud-based software. They can change anyone\u2019s access permissions online. Users update their own keys at integrated door-phones or online readers. This ensures resident access permissions are always current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each PULSE key also contains an RFID chip: It doubles as an access card for the entrance and communal areas, so tenants only need to carry one credential for multiple openings around the property. It\u2019s more convenient and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat. These powerful machines stress test to determine a product\u2019s expected lifespan and the suitability of components during the design process.<\/a>\n\nIf you have a product that needs testing, or need advice on compliance, then you can get in touch with the Paxton test experts at https:\/\/paxtontestfacility.co.uk\/contact-us\/<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton's Brighton EMC test facility secures UKAS accreditation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxtons-brighton-emc-test-facility-secures-ukas-accreditation","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=14820","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10842,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2022-06-22 11:18:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-22 10:18:00","post_content":"\n

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration. Bayshore will be the exclusive provider of this combined technology to customers worldwide through GE Digital, Bayshore, and other sales channels. OpShield NextGeneration can reportedly protect most HMI and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems from unauthorised and potentially high-risk or dangerous network activity such as unscheduled configuration changes, unscheduled maintenance events, indicators of reconnaissance and surveillance, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, network spoofing and piggybacking.\n\n\u201cIndustrial companies will now usually agree that they have hosts and applications which are no longer separated, or \u2018air-gapped\u2019 off for safe, isolated operations from the rest of the company or from outsiders and the internet,\u201d explined Sid Snitkin, Vice President Cybersecurity Advisory Services, ARC Advisory. \u201cThese types of systems are susceptible to certain OT network attacks.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Businesses in every sector face the challenge of operating more sustainably. Construction is no different. As a Premium Member of Green Building Council Denmark, the developer of Esbjerg\u2019s new \u201cA Place To\u201d housing complex sought efficient access control to complement a contemporary style and sustainability ethos. Energy harvesting technology provided the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At A Place To, Esbjerg, more than 400 apartments connect with shared common \u201cco-living\u201d areas. There\u2019s a cafe, fitness and yoga, a big screen, reading nooks and workstations, communal kitchens and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability is core to their vision. As they grow \u2014 at future properties in Copenhagen, Horsens and beyond \u2014 A Place To aims for the operation and maintenance of all buildings to be DGNB-certified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For efficient access control, they looked for an energy-saving solution which would operate without batteries or wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other priorities included integration-readiness. Electronic locking at A Place To must work seamlessly with other building technologies including online readers and door-phones. They wanted cloud-based management, to keep staff in control 24\/7 from anywhere. Managers also knew that any solution must be future-proof by design: New features or capacity anytime may be required at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy harvesting access management \u00a0in the cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE key-operated electronic cylinders with energy-harvesting technology now secure more than 300 apartments at A Place To: \u201cWe went for a future-proof solution which was maintenance-free and where we did not have to change batteries,\u201d explains Peter H\u00f8pfner, their COO and Founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE devices are self-powered and need no external energy source. The cylinder\u2019s encrypted electronic security is energized with power generated by key insertion. \u201cIt was a big plus with PULSE that keys and locks are battery and cable free,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Place To\u2019s security administrators manage access control with cloud-based software. They can change anyone\u2019s access permissions online. Users update their own keys at integrated door-phones or online readers. This ensures resident access permissions are always current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each PULSE key also contains an RFID chip: It doubles as an access card for the entrance and communal areas, so tenants only need to carry one credential for multiple openings around the property. It\u2019s more convenient and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat. These powerful machines stress test to determine a product\u2019s expected lifespan and the suitability of components during the design process.<\/a>\n\nIf you have a product that needs testing, or need advice on compliance, then you can get in touch with the Paxton test experts at https:\/\/paxtontestfacility.co.uk\/contact-us\/<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton's Brighton EMC test facility secures UKAS accreditation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxtons-brighton-emc-test-facility-secures-ukas-accreditation","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=14820","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10842,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2022-06-22 11:18:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-22 10:18:00","post_content":"\n

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Businesses in every sector face the challenge of operating more sustainably. Construction is no different. As a Premium Member of Green Building Council Denmark, the developer of Esbjerg\u2019s new \u201cA Place To\u201d housing complex sought efficient access control to complement a contemporary style and sustainability ethos. Energy harvesting technology provided the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At A Place To, Esbjerg, more than 400 apartments connect with shared common \u201cco-living\u201d areas. There\u2019s a cafe, fitness and yoga, a big screen, reading nooks and workstations, communal kitchens and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability is core to their vision. As they grow \u2014 at future properties in Copenhagen, Horsens and beyond \u2014 A Place To aims for the operation and maintenance of all buildings to be DGNB-certified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For efficient access control, they looked for an energy-saving solution which would operate without batteries or wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other priorities included integration-readiness. Electronic locking at A Place To must work seamlessly with other building technologies including online readers and door-phones. They wanted cloud-based management, to keep staff in control 24\/7 from anywhere. Managers also knew that any solution must be future-proof by design: New features or capacity anytime may be required at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy harvesting access management \u00a0in the cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE key-operated electronic cylinders with energy-harvesting technology now secure more than 300 apartments at A Place To: \u201cWe went for a future-proof solution which was maintenance-free and where we did not have to change batteries,\u201d explains Peter H\u00f8pfner, their COO and Founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE devices are self-powered and need no external energy source. The cylinder\u2019s encrypted electronic security is energized with power generated by key insertion. \u201cIt was a big plus with PULSE that keys and locks are battery and cable free,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Place To\u2019s security administrators manage access control with cloud-based software. They can change anyone\u2019s access permissions online. Users update their own keys at integrated door-phones or online readers. This ensures resident access permissions are always current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each PULSE key also contains an RFID chip: It doubles as an access card for the entrance and communal areas, so tenants only need to carry one credential for multiple openings around the property. It\u2019s more convenient and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat. These powerful machines stress test to determine a product\u2019s expected lifespan and the suitability of components during the design process.<\/a>\n\nIf you have a product that needs testing, or need advice on compliance, then you can get in touch with the Paxton test experts at https:\/\/paxtontestfacility.co.uk\/contact-us\/<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton's Brighton EMC test facility secures UKAS accreditation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxtons-brighton-emc-test-facility-secures-ukas-accreditation","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=14820","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10842,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2022-06-22 11:18:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-22 10:18:00","post_content":"\n

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is available on the BSIA website and has also been put forward to the Fire and Security Excellence Awards for Best Contribution to Standards in the Security Sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Businesses in every sector face the challenge of operating more sustainably. Construction is no different. As a Premium Member of Green Building Council Denmark, the developer of Esbjerg\u2019s new \u201cA Place To\u201d housing complex sought efficient access control to complement a contemporary style and sustainability ethos. Energy harvesting technology provided the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At A Place To, Esbjerg, more than 400 apartments connect with shared common \u201cco-living\u201d areas. There\u2019s a cafe, fitness and yoga, a big screen, reading nooks and workstations, communal kitchens and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability is core to their vision. As they grow \u2014 at future properties in Copenhagen, Horsens and beyond \u2014 A Place To aims for the operation and maintenance of all buildings to be DGNB-certified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For efficient access control, they looked for an energy-saving solution which would operate without batteries or wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other priorities included integration-readiness. Electronic locking at A Place To must work seamlessly with other building technologies including online readers and door-phones. They wanted cloud-based management, to keep staff in control 24\/7 from anywhere. Managers also knew that any solution must be future-proof by design: New features or capacity anytime may be required at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy harvesting access management \u00a0in the cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE key-operated electronic cylinders with energy-harvesting technology now secure more than 300 apartments at A Place To: \u201cWe went for a future-proof solution which was maintenance-free and where we did not have to change batteries,\u201d explains Peter H\u00f8pfner, their COO and Founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE devices are self-powered and need no external energy source. The cylinder\u2019s encrypted electronic security is energized with power generated by key insertion. \u201cIt was a big plus with PULSE that keys and locks are battery and cable free,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Place To\u2019s security administrators manage access control with cloud-based software. They can change anyone\u2019s access permissions online. Users update their own keys at integrated door-phones or online readers. This ensures resident access permissions are always current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each PULSE key also contains an RFID chip: It doubles as an access card for the entrance and communal areas, so tenants only need to carry one credential for multiple openings around the property. It\u2019s more convenient and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat. These powerful machines stress test to determine a product\u2019s expected lifespan and the suitability of components during the design process.<\/a>\n\nIf you have a product that needs testing, or need advice on compliance, then you can get in touch with the Paxton test experts at https:\/\/paxtontestfacility.co.uk\/contact-us\/<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton's Brighton EMC test facility secures UKAS accreditation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxtons-brighton-emc-test-facility-secures-ukas-accreditation","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=14820","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10842,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2022-06-22 11:18:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-22 10:18:00","post_content":"\n

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Businesses in every sector face the challenge of operating more sustainably. Construction is no different. As a Premium Member of Green Building Council Denmark, the developer of Esbjerg\u2019s new \u201cA Place To\u201d housing complex sought efficient access control to complement a contemporary style and sustainability ethos. Energy harvesting technology provided the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At A Place To, Esbjerg, more than 400 apartments connect with shared common \u201cco-living\u201d areas. There\u2019s a cafe, fitness and yoga, a big screen, reading nooks and workstations, communal kitchens and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability is core to their vision. As they grow \u2014 at future properties in Copenhagen, Horsens and beyond \u2014 A Place To aims for the operation and maintenance of all buildings to be DGNB-certified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For efficient access control, they looked for an energy-saving solution which would operate without batteries or wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other priorities included integration-readiness. Electronic locking at A Place To must work seamlessly with other building technologies including online readers and door-phones. They wanted cloud-based management, to keep staff in control 24\/7 from anywhere. Managers also knew that any solution must be future-proof by design: New features or capacity anytime may be required at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy harvesting access management \u00a0in the cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE key-operated electronic cylinders with energy-harvesting technology now secure more than 300 apartments at A Place To: \u201cWe went for a future-proof solution which was maintenance-free and where we did not have to change batteries,\u201d explains Peter H\u00f8pfner, their COO and Founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE devices are self-powered and need no external energy source. The cylinder\u2019s encrypted electronic security is energized with power generated by key insertion. \u201cIt was a big plus with PULSE that keys and locks are battery and cable free,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Place To\u2019s security administrators manage access control with cloud-based software. They can change anyone\u2019s access permissions online. Users update their own keys at integrated door-phones or online readers. This ensures resident access permissions are always current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each PULSE key also contains an RFID chip: It doubles as an access card for the entrance and communal areas, so tenants only need to carry one credential for multiple openings around the property. It\u2019s more convenient and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat.

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed.

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

GE Digital\u2019s OpShield technology will be integrated into Bayshore Networks\u2019 solutions providing industrial cybersecurity and active prevention\/protection for industrial equipment, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interface (HMIs), and engineering workstations.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to announce another way we will support organisations who need to protect operational technology (OT) environments, industrial processes, and plant operations,\u201d said Steve Pavlosky, Director, Digital Product Management at GE Digital. \u201cBeing at the heart of an operation\u2019s data visualisation, control and reporting, it is critically important to ensure companies are taking steps to protect this key element to their operations. The combination of Bayshore\u2019s In-depth Policy Engine with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield Management Console and Advanced Protocol technology addresses the fact that while companies may have threat analytics or detection solutions as part of a cyber security triad, they must have advanced prevention capabilities.\u201d\n\nGE Digital began working with Bayshore in 2019 to bring cybersecurity support to GE Proficy installations. With this extended partnership, Bayshore and GE Digital will provide customers in all industries with software that includes Bayshore Networks\u2019 cybersecurity technology with GE Digital\u2019s OpShield capabilities.\n\n\u201cBayshore is tremendously excited to see the relationship with GE Digital expand to combine our joint technologies with the goal of launching OpShield NextGeneration as the premier detection\/active prevention solution for the entire industrial marketplace as we jointly work to secure the world\u2019s industrial and critical infrastructure networks,\u201d added Kevin Senator, CEO of Bayshore Networks. \u201cTogether, we will support existing GE Digital customers as well as new customers with technology to protect their OT endpoints and networks from ever-changing and increasing cyber threats as well as advancing this combined technology to a broad range of control products from a variety of vendors. Bayshore\u2019s advanced technology brings a whole new level of safety and resilience within the reach and control of plant operations everywhere regardless of PLC brand in use.\u201d\n\nThe partnership combines GE Digital\u2019s OpShield security technology with Bayshore\u2019s Deep Content Inspection and Advanced Policy Learning and Enforcement, enabling Bayshore to create an integrated product line, to be called OpShield NextGeneration.

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Businesses in every sector face the challenge of operating more sustainably. Construction is no different. As a Premium Member of Green Building Council Denmark, the developer of Esbjerg\u2019s new \u201cA Place To\u201d housing complex sought efficient access control to complement a contemporary style and sustainability ethos. Energy harvesting technology provided the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At A Place To, Esbjerg, more than 400 apartments connect with shared common \u201cco-living\u201d areas. There\u2019s a cafe, fitness and yoga, a big screen, reading nooks and workstations, communal kitchens and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability is core to their vision. As they grow \u2014 at future properties in Copenhagen, Horsens and beyond \u2014 A Place To aims for the operation and maintenance of all buildings to be DGNB-certified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For efficient access control, they looked for an energy-saving solution which would operate without batteries or wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other priorities included integration-readiness. Electronic locking at A Place To must work seamlessly with other building technologies including online readers and door-phones. They wanted cloud-based management, to keep staff in control 24\/7 from anywhere. Managers also knew that any solution must be future-proof by design: New features or capacity anytime may be required at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy harvesting access management \u00a0in the cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE key-operated electronic cylinders with energy-harvesting technology now secure more than 300 apartments at A Place To: \u201cWe went for a future-proof solution which was maintenance-free and where we did not have to change batteries,\u201d explains Peter H\u00f8pfner, their COO and Founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE devices are self-powered and need no external energy source. The cylinder\u2019s encrypted electronic security is energized with power generated by key insertion. \u201cIt was a big plus with PULSE that keys and locks are battery and cable free,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Place To\u2019s security administrators manage access control with cloud-based software. They can change anyone\u2019s access permissions online. Users update their own keys at integrated door-phones or online readers. This ensures resident access permissions are always current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each PULSE key also contains an RFID chip: It doubles as an access card for the entrance and communal areas, so tenants only need to carry one credential for multiple openings around the property. It\u2019s more convenient and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat. These powerful machines stress test to determine a product\u2019s expected lifespan and the suitability of components during the design process.<\/a>\n\nIf you have a product that needs testing, or need advice on compliance, then you can get in touch with the Paxton test experts at https:\/\/paxtontestfacility.co.uk\/contact-us\/<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton's Brighton EMC test facility secures UKAS accreditation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxtons-brighton-emc-test-facility-secures-ukas-accreditation","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=14820","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10842,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2022-06-22 11:18:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-22 10:18:00","post_content":"\n

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Businesses in every sector face the challenge of operating more sustainably. Construction is no different. As a Premium Member of Green Building Council Denmark, the developer of Esbjerg\u2019s new \u201cA Place To\u201d housing complex sought efficient access control to complement a contemporary style and sustainability ethos. Energy harvesting technology provided the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At A Place To, Esbjerg, more than 400 apartments connect with shared common \u201cco-living\u201d areas. There\u2019s a cafe, fitness and yoga, a big screen, reading nooks and workstations, communal kitchens and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability is core to their vision. As they grow \u2014 at future properties in Copenhagen, Horsens and beyond \u2014 A Place To aims for the operation and maintenance of all buildings to be DGNB-certified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For efficient access control, they looked for an energy-saving solution which would operate without batteries or wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other priorities included integration-readiness. Electronic locking at A Place To must work seamlessly with other building technologies including online readers and door-phones. They wanted cloud-based management, to keep staff in control 24\/7 from anywhere. Managers also knew that any solution must be future-proof by design: New features or capacity anytime may be required at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy harvesting access management \u00a0in the cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE key-operated electronic cylinders with energy-harvesting technology now secure more than 300 apartments at A Place To: \u201cWe went for a future-proof solution which was maintenance-free and where we did not have to change batteries,\u201d explains Peter H\u00f8pfner, their COO and Founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSE devices are self-powered and need no external energy source. The cylinder\u2019s encrypted electronic security is energized with power generated by key insertion. \u201cIt was a big plus with PULSE that keys and locks are battery and cable free,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Place To\u2019s security administrators manage access control with cloud-based software. They can change anyone\u2019s access permissions online. Users update their own keys at integrated door-phones or online readers. This ensures resident access permissions are always current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each PULSE key also contains an RFID chip: It doubles as an access card for the entrance and communal areas, so tenants only need to carry one credential for multiple openings around the property. It\u2019s more convenient and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PULSE meets the challenges of more sustainable construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 60% of the world\u2019s electricity is consumed by buildings, according to UN Environment Programme estimates. PULSE access control can help reduce energy use \u2014 one reason the technology won the 2022 Danish Building Centres Energy Award, whose purpose is to \u201ccelebrate innovative products and solutions in construction and to increase knowledge of climate-friendly building materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-powered and wire-free, a PULSE locking system operates day-to-day without any external electricity source \u2014 neither mains nor batteries. Installation is cable-free and low impact, too, which minimizes power consumption at what can be an energy intensive stage in a system\u2019s lifecycle. At a retrofit project, all an installer needs to do is swap an existing cylinder for a PULSE device. It\u2019s simple and requires no drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, several PULSE cylinder types have an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) valid through 2026,\u201d explains Daniel Totzeck, PULSE Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EPD details the precise environmental impact of a device through its full lifecycle. EPDs are rich in details required by projects seeking green building certification, which is increasingly popular worldwide because it can deliver financial as well as ethical benefits for a building owner.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Paxton one of the leading commercial EMC test laboratories, with the added benefit of short lead-times.\n\nUKAS visited Paxton's UK headquarters in Brighton to carry out a formal assessment of EMC Test Facility which originally opened in August 2019. The government-appointed agency assessed Paxton\u2019s ability and competence in performing product testing including an audit of the quality management system. The state-of-the-art facility has now been officially granted UKAS accreditation, confirming that it meets the ISO 17025 standard for Laboratory Accreditation.\n\nBrett Glass, Paxton\u2019s Compliance Manager has overseen the development of the facility. He explains:\u201d We are extremely proud to have gained UKAS accreditation. For any manufacturer looking for the highest possible quality and level of testing, this is the accreditation they want and need.\n\n\u201cGaining it has been an in-depth and worthwhile process. Our Compliance team has been working towards it for some time whilst testing our products and that of many manufacturers from the South East of the UK.\u201d\n\nPaxton opened the test facility to maximise the efficiency and quality of their own product development. It has enabled them to launch new products and system additions quickly during the pandemic and global component shortage.\n\nWhilst researching during the planning phase of the facility, Paxton decided to offer product testing externally to support businesses with quick pre-compliance testing and a bespoke service. This is unlike traditional test houses which often have long waiting lists and can potentially hinder the speed at which products come to market.\n\nBrett continues: \u201cMany clients are testing their new designs with us because our lead times are shorter than all the current national test houses. If we factor in that 50% of products fail EMC testing the first time around, the pre-compliance testing we offer can really be of benefit to keep a product launch timely and on track.\n\u201cUltimately the test facility aims to be efficient and cost effective to both large and small businesses. We are flexible and take a best effort approach for our customers.\u201d\n\nThe modern facility has been designed and built using industry leading equipment. This includes an Electromagnetic Compatibility Chamber (EMC) for manufacturers who need to perform emission and immunity tests at three metres. They also have equipment to carry out Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), surge, transients, and power quality tests.\n\nAdditionally, Paxton installed various Environmental Chambers to test the impact to products from environmental factors including UV, moisture, cold, humidity, and heat. These powerful machines stress test to determine a product\u2019s expected lifespan and the suitability of components during the design process.<\/a>\n\nIf you have a product that needs testing, or need advice on compliance, then you can get in touch with the Paxton test experts at https:\/\/paxtontestfacility.co.uk\/contact-us\/<\/a>","post_title":"Paxton's Brighton EMC test facility secures UKAS accreditation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"paxtons-brighton-emc-test-facility-secures-ukas-accreditation","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-24 15:08:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=14820","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10842,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2022-06-22 11:18:00","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-22 10:18:00","post_content":"\n

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched its latest code of practice, an industry-first for security fogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is the first of its kind intending to support the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of security fog systems conforming to EN 50131-8, as well as to serve as practical aid to mitigate risks and reach operational requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Gibbard, Vice Chair of the BSIA\u2019s Security Equipment Manufacturers section, said: \u201cI am pleased that the BSIA have worked with members and insurance companies to deliver a code of practice which closes a gap in the standards arena, can mitigate risks, and demonstrate the working ability of the professional industry who produce quality products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimple installation of an EN 50131-8 security fog device is not enough to consider all factors which may influence the effective operation of a system. This becomes apparent when security fog systems need to perform differently in various scenarios including hold up situations or burglaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Lampett, Technical Manager at the BSIA, said: \u201cThe BSIA continues to develop and support initiatives that further professionalise our industry sector and this new code of practice a testament to this, by providing a roadmap that focuses on the actual performance required from a security fogging system to achieve the obscuration objectives of the security solution to which it has been deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA significant amount of time and effort has been put into developing this code of practice on behalf of the industry sector, in an effort to provide a framework for designers, installers and maintainers who wish to apply the European product standard (EN 50131-8) in the UK, while addressing the specific needs of the UK market and its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

'Security Fog Systems: Installations, Commissioning and Maintenance - code of practice'\u00a0is available on the BSIA website and has also been put forward to the Fire and Security Excellence Awards for Best Contribution to Standards in the Security Sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Security & Safety of Things (S&ST) analyses new technology offered by smart cameras that can help alleviate manufacturing facilities that have been faced with new challenges of meeting customer needs, as global demand for produced goods increases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global demand for produced goods continues to climb, manufacturing organisations are facing new challenges in meeting customer demand and elevated safety concerns along the supply chain due to a backlog of goods in transit. New technology offered by smart cameras can help to alleviate some of these pain points by providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimising operations within manufacturing plants \u2013 benefiting both businesses and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specialised smart cameras have been in use for production monitoring in large facilities for the past few years, a new generation of smart cameras is helping smaller manufacturing organisations to more efficiently manage day-to-day operations, ensure compliance with workplace safety measures and detect production floor stoppages.\u00a0These cameras, which operate on an open platform from\u00a0Security & Safety Things (S&ST), are equipped with Artificial Intelligence infused video analytics and are capable of running a variety of different apps from an Application Store, much like a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 100 apps that address a growing variety of use cases, these smart cameras are easy to deploy and can very quickly detect issues that often go unseen by the human eye but may have an impact on operational efficiency and overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The value of a smart camera is in its versatility to both monitor and document proper production and the handling and transportation of goods, while simultaneously contributing to customer experience,\" said Anton Wintersteller, senior business development manager, Security & Safety Things. \"Smart cameras equipped with AI-enabled applications are becoming part of the tool kit for manufacturing facilities in looking for new and innovative ways to improve operations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve security and safety for plant or warehouse staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee safety and security is top of mind for manufacturing and logistic facilities, with a constant threat of danger from machinery malfunctions and other accidents. Video analytics can help ensure compliance with safety rules, such as proper use of machines, compliance with safety regulations and the wearing of proper protection equipment. Smart camera solutions can monitor whether employees are wearing safety clothing, through the identification of hardhats, high visibility vests, work goggles and required footwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these cameras can assist in the detection and notification of proper personnel when individuals enter safety zones around big machinery, or other hazardous areas. They can assess levels of smoke and steam in closed rooms and other areas. By monitoring for potential slips, falls or other injuries, they can more quickly raise alerts \u2013 as well as detect precursors of potential incidents, such as smoke and fire coming from machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire prevention for warehouse asset protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cameras play an important role in fire and safety prevention, through the early detection of flames, smoke or spills in large commercial buildings. As warehouses and manufacturing facilities become less populated through the implementation of automation technology, smart surveillance will play a crucial role in the future. Video analytics, combined with AI and other current technologies, such as thermal imaging, can detect such incidents in an early state and trigger alarms faster and more reliably than conventional smoke detectors. This prioritisation of building safety can help reduce insurance risk and high premium costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics in security cameras are already helping manage large inventories in buildings and to improve the storage capacity of warehouse and manufacturing facilities. When goods and boxes of different sizes have to be stored using a maximum efficiency of space, smart cameras can help to recognise incoming and outgoing items in real-time \u2013 according to size and format. This enables picking machines to better sort them appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control and enhanced security for logistics along the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video analytics can assist warehouse and logistic service providers in successfully delivering the correct product to the right location and customer in prime condition, by monitoring the condition of packaging along the entire supply chain, detecting open or damaged boxes at the loading dock before the delivery is accepted. In the production facility itself, smart cameras can alert drivers with incoming shipments of empty loading bays for offloading, or alert facility staff of potential blockages or hazards for inbound and outbound vehicles that could delay delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for goods will continue to increase and production will be tasked to become even faster and more efficient every day. Smart cameras can help individuals monitor security and operations in real-time, while providing valuable business intelligence that can monitor and document proper handling and transportation \u2013 leading to a safer, more efficient facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Security Industry Association\u2019s (BSIA) cybersecurity group have launched a new code of practice for manufacturers of safety and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by the BSIA\u2019s Cybersecurity Product Assurance Group (CySPAG), Manufacturers of safety and security systems \u2013\u00a0cybersecurity code of practice<\/em> aims to assist in providing confidence throughout the supply chain promoting secure connection of products and services\u00a0and\u00a0delivering client assurance regarding\u00a0connected solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the code of practice aims to assist the supply chain in its duty of care to other network users, particularly with respect to protecting the integrity of existing cybersecurity countermeasures,\u00a0or the implementation of such countermeasures in new solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u00a0Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said:\u00a0\u201cThe publication of this new code of practice now provides a complete process for supply chains when utilised together with installers adhering to the Installation of safety and security systems \u2013 cybersecurity code of practice<\/em>. This should provide peace of mind for end users in terms of cybersecurity of their systems, not only when they are installed but throughout the entire contract period.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendations of this code of practice apply in addition to other standards and codes of practice relating to systems and equipment to be installed. Any documentation or checklists mentioned in this code of practice may be combined with those required by the other standards or codes of practice, applying to safety and security systems and their components but can be applied to other devices and systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We hope to continue to drive the sector forward with this practical approach when addressing and managing cybersecurity risks,\" Lampett added. \"The idea is to steer safety and security practitioners into thinking outside the box on using new technology and equipping our industries with professional tools for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from 1st October 2021 to 3rd May 2023 due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has significantly impacted states\u2019 ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards, with many driver\u2019s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the health, safety, and security of our communities is our top priority,\u201d said Secretary Mayorkas. \u201cAs our country continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver\u2019s licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver\u2019s license, or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and four of five US territories covered by the REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states\u2019 capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernisation Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why when North America's largest beer producer suddenly ceased production last month due to a cyberattack<\/a>, it sent shockwaves through the industry and around the globe. What could make this multi-billion dollar empire grind to a halt? How do other organisations ensure they don\u2019t suffer the same outcome?\n\nFood and beverage companies often run nonstop, with potentially catastrophic effects when the production chain is disrupted. In this particular case, a suspected ransomware attack left the company behind iconic brands like Pilsner, Miller and Grolsch unable to access systems involved in the production and shipments of these popular drinks. Unfortunately, this type of industrial sabotage is becoming more and more common, as selling remote access into organisations is a documented ecosystem approach<\/a> for ransom groups. Furthermore, this type of attack in manufacturing tripled<\/a> in 2020.\n\nThe revenue impact of the sabotage is still being calculated but - as described in the regulatory document<\/a> - the company also expects incremental one-time costs related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts in both their first and second quarters of 2021.\n\nMolson Coors joins an ever-growing list of high-profile companies hit with a major disruption to its business due to ransomware. The combination of the critical nature of the manufacturing process and potential security vulnerabilities with Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) assets, has created the perfect playground for cyber criminals. And while the precise nature of the cyberattack is yet to be disclosed, it\u2019s a lesson to organisations the world over that they need to be strongly positioned to prevent, detect and respond to similar incidents. Some key takeaways from this incident should be:\n\nIT and OT\u2019s inevitable convergence<\/strong>\n\nManufacturing processes around the globe have increasingly been relying on IT and OT technology. But the real game changer is that previously isolated manufacturing networks slowly integrated with IT networks, exposing OT assets and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to a wider range of threats. Cybercriminals now have an IT and OT backdoor onto the company network.\n\nSecurity that\u2019s purpose-built for manufacturing<\/strong>\n\nHackers look at IT, OT and IoT devices as a single continuous system, and so should organisations. Detecting cyber-attacks cannot be based on traditional security agents only \u2013 or worse \u2013 network-based scans that could take down your OT devices. These types of attacks call for a much different approach \u2013 on that discovers, classifies, and identifies threats for every type of IT, OT and IoT device in the environment; and is non-disruptive with no agents required. Manufactures should also be able to:\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identify vulnerable devices in their environments\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Monitor device behaviour to detect compromises or policy violations\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Take actions to quarantine suspicious or malicious devices\n\n-\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stop attacks from moving laterally from device to device\n\nTraditional threat response solutions are blind to unmanaged devices<\/strong>\n\nMolson Coors engaged Forensic IT firms to investigate the exact nature of the incident, in order to properly assess the attack. This is a process where many companies will also turn to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, relying on agents. But agents can\u2019t be installed on the vast majority of OT devices in manufacturing environments. Here again, a different approach is needed to continuously monitor the state of each device in the environment and the connections made by each device.\n\nThen, importantly, this information should be recorded and stored in (ideally) a cloud-based system so that, when a security event occurs, security teams can easily scroll back in time to see the scope of the breach, what devices were communicated with, over what protocols, and how much data was transmitted to determine the damage and risk to the business.\n\nArmed with the right information, organisations can learn from the experiences of their peers and make themselves better equipped to identify the root cause of the incident, restore operations and, crucially, take precautionary actions.\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>","post_title":"Not the beer!

OpShield NextGeneration can reportedly protect most HMI and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems from unauthorised and potentially high-risk or dangerous network activity such as unscheduled configuration changes, unscheduled maintenance events, indicators of reconnaissance and surveillance, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, network spoofing and piggybacking.\n\n\u201cIndustrial companies will now usually agree that they have hosts and applications which are no longer separated, or \u2018air-gapped\u2019 off for safe, isolated operations from the rest of the company or from outsiders and the internet,\u201d explined Sid Snitkin, Vice President Cybersecurity Advisory Services, ARC Advisory. \u201cThese types of systems are susceptible to certain OT network attacks. And with the influence of the pandemic, the industrial attack surface and the resulting cyber risk just continues to increase.\u201d\n\nwww.bayshorenetworks.com<\/a>","post_title":"Bayshore Networks and GE Digital combine to secure industrial networks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bayshore-networks-and-ge-digital-combine-to-secure-industrial-networks","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-09 07:57:04","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-09 07:57:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4859","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4689,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-27 16:31:38","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:38","post_content":"Cybersecurity solutions for industrial automation networks specialist, Radiflow, has announced significant growth in revenues and bookings following the launch of new products in 2020 and continued international expansion.\n\n\u201cAlthough last year has been a challenge for many vendors due to the impact of the global pandemic reducing overall IT spending, the OT cybersecurity space has been relatively unaffected and Radiflow has experienced its best year to date,\u201d explained Ilan Barda, CEO of Radiflow. \u201cOur critical national infrastructure (CNI) business continued its consistent growth, but the biggest growth has been within manufacturing \u2013 an area that had traditionally been less active in the cyber security space and has been prompted to strengthen its defences following a number of high-profile breaches during 2019\/20 \u2013 today, nearly one third of our revenues come from manufacturing.\u201d\n\nRadiflow recorded a two times increase in sales during 2020 compared to the previous year and a three times increase in bookings. Regionally, Europe has been the fastest growing sales territory for the company, including new customers in power, oil and gas and manufacturing. In parallel 2020 did also see major deals in North America and Asia Pacific including new US power utilities and national water and transportation operators in APAC. As of December 2020, Radiflow industrial cyber security solutions for critical business operations have been successfully deployed in over 5,000 sites by major utilities and industrial enterprises worldwide.\n\nRadiflow has also grown its team and partner community to meet international expansion. A major highlight is the creation of a new sales team to cover Western Europe led by the appointment of two new directors: Jesper Nilsson, Sales Director, who brings extensive experience in cyber security including his last role in CyberX and Katrin Rabe, Channel Director, who worked in large multi-national industrial automation vendors such as GE.\n\nOn a commercial level, Radiflow expanded its network of partners especially with tier-1 systems integrators that can serve the new tier-1 customers and provide the suite of services around Radiflow products. For example, Radiflow announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric UK to address the needs of IEC62443 cyber security standards in the Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Automation markets. Radiflow will be announcing additional partnerships with global systems integrators during the first half of 2021.\n\nPart of the surge in sales in 2020 and increased pipeline for 2021 is due to the launch of Radiflow Ciara, a new platform offering Cyber Industrial Automated Risk Analysis (Ciara) to deliver emerging best practice around risk modelling and management using the ISA\/IEC 62443 series of standards.\n\nCiara is a fully automated tool for assets data collection, data-driven analysis and transparent risk metrics calculation, including risk scoring per zone and business process based on business impact. The platform uses automatic data-driven algorithms as a response to the growing digitisation of the production floor.\n\n\u201cCiara delivered a number of industry firsts and addressed a significant sector wide need to streamline previously complex and time-consuming risk assessment processes,\u201d said Barda. \u201cIt not only solves an immediate tactical issue, but has also helped us to expand the conversation with our clients to the wider Radiflow portfolio which has led to significant sales growth.\u201d\n\nOn the technology research side, Radiflow has engaged in several joint projects including with the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity for industrial automation networks. Radiflow was also part of a project with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) around Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources.\n\n\u201cOur goal for 2021 is to capitalise further on the foundation we have built during the previous year,\u201d concluded Barda. \u201cWe have introduced unique technologies combined with a growing partner community and the next phase is to expand our geographic reach to meet the untapped opportunity \u2013 especially in Europe.\u201d\n\nwww.radiflow.com<\/a>","post_title":"Radiflow sees record year for growth and revenues","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"radiflow-sees-record-year-for-growth-and-revenues","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-27 16:31:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4689","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4655,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-24 01:27:00","post_content":"Industrial Defender has launched an IT-OT integration lab.
