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

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

EDITORIAL POLICY

On 28 April, thousands of blissfully ignorant commuters found themselves stranded on the major

freeways of Northern Johannesburg. Given that it was the day after Freedom Day, and often a time when many people take leave, no one expected such a circus.

What could only have been the result of at least four separate pile up incidents, turned out to be something quite unexpected.

Imagine the average already traffic-weary commuter’s surprise when we all realised that we were being held hostage by the launch of the Mall of Africa in Midrand.

While motorists were fuming, shopaholics who had been queuing from as early as 4am

were excited, some dancing to music blasting from speakers around the premises. Hours before Gauteng Premier David Makhura cut the ribbon at 9am, shoppers were standing with their trolleys outside shops, with the almost 6 500 parking bays nearly full by 7am.

Despite so-called efforts by the JMPD to help ease traffic congestion, the situation was chaotic to say the least.

Some 97 000 promotion-hungry shoppers descended on the mall to attend the grand opening while others were caught in the cross-fire.

Sadly, the launch also suffered other bad press when it was reported that several vehicles were reportedly stolen “near” the Mall of Africa in Midrand.

In fairness to management, they did ask shoppers only to park in designated areas, but no one foresaw the bedlam that discounts of up to 70 per cent on items would create.

In an already saturated market, the R5-billion Mall of Africa now adds 130 000 square metres of stores, as the largest first-phase mall development in southern Africa.

South Africa already has more than 23 million square metres in shopping centre space, placing it 7th globally and ahead of all the countries in continental Europe, with another two million square metres under construction or planned, according to Urban Studies, a Johannesburg-based property market research firm.

While some argue that this is ridiculous in a cash-strapped economy, the developers are quick to add that there are approximately 100 000 households in the immediate surroundings without

adequate shopping facilities.According to Zandile Makhoba,

an analyst at real estate services firm Jones Lang LaSalle in Johannesburg, the roll-out of new malls and an acceleration in consumer spending is defying the slowest expansion in gross

domestic product since the 2009 recession, the highest interest rates in six years and an unemployment rate of about 25 per cent.

“It cannot last, and rising inflation and the deteriorating economy will eventually take its toll. Retail shouldn’t be doing as well as it currently is and that should be concerning us,” she said.

“A lot of the new developments are in proximity to existing malls, which suggests they’ll be competing for the same consumers, who are most likely to be less willing to spend as economic conditions get tighter.”

The oversupply of retail properties will probably result in slowing growth or a decline in foot traffic as new malls open before the centres experience an increase in vacancies, Ms Makhoba said. The South African Property Owners Association estimates vacancies of less than three per cent in the country’s malls.

Those risks aren’t hampering the performance of companies that build and operate shopping centres, which are the best-performing South African REITs this year.

Redefine Properties, which owns the Centurion Mall in Pretoria, leads the pack with a 23 per cent return through Monday’s close, while Hyprop Investments is returning 16 per cent. Attacq and Resilient REIT have returned 17 per cent and 16 per cent in 2016. That compares with 4.5 per cent for the FTSE/JSE Africa All Share Index and 7.8 per cent in bonds.

Over the years, South Africa has developed a mall cuture where consumers spend their time, not just shopping but enjoying restaurants, cinemas and other entertainment as well.

This is largely due to the added or perceived security that this type of environment offers. A growing middle class in the continent’s second-largest economy combines with the world’s highest inequality rating, making it one of the most dangerous countries outside a war zone for incidences of crime like car hijackings, armed robberies and rape.

“There is retail space oversupply in particular in the metropolitan areas because of the economic downturn,” Urban Studies partner, Dirk Nico Prinsloo said. “That should subside within two years because of population and potential employment growth.”

So, the jury is still out on whether we actually need another mall or not, but either way and in spite of a sluggish economy, the opportunities for industry show no signs of slowing down in the foreseeable future.

True to its word that it would take a zero tolerance approach to non-compliance, the PSSPF has

secured acknowledgements of debt that amount to some R275-million with R145- million already collected and allocated to members’ accounts.

Following the amendments of the Pension Funds Act Section 13 A in 2014, which now allows for the criminalisation of non-compliant employers, the fund has been able to hold company shareholders, directors, members in a CC, partners and trustees criminally liable for not honouring their legal obligation towards employees.

According to Jackson Simon, the PSSPF communications chairperson, the PSSPF is closing in on non-compliant private security employers who continue

to defraud employees by deducting monies from their salaries intended for their retirement and not paying it to the fund.

“The PSSPF has pursued the litigation process on 149 matters and 28 have been settled as a result of employers finally accepting liability and entering into an Acknowledgement of Debt (AOD) agreement,” said Mr Simon.

He added that there were 121 matters in

litigation with five of those on liquidation. The litigation process includes reporting the matter to the SAPS and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to prosecute those employers in breach of Section 13 A, which is constituted as committing a fraudulent activity.

Seven of the remaining 114 non-compliant employers are being pursued criminally by the fund. Some of these continue to get lucrative tenders despite being in serious breach of the Act.

The fund has had 16 judgments granted in its favour and has since engaged the sheriff of the court to ascertain how much assets are in those employers’ businesses to sell them and retrieve the money owed to the beneficiaries.

Mr Simon said the collection rate from defaulting employers by the fund had increased to about 53 per cent mainly as a result of the stakeholder engagement

enforcement and regulatory bodies such as the Private Security Industry

Regulatory Authority (PSIRA) and the Pension Fund

Adjudicator (PFA).“The employers qualify for the renewal

of their registration certificate annually only if they are compliant and in good standing with the Provident Fund, SARS and the UIF.”

The PSSPF is pleased to report that four years ago, the complaints to the PFA averaged between 300 and 350. This number has now been reduced to just over 100.

PSSPF clamps down on fund dodgersThe Private Security Sector Provident Fund (PSSPF) has investigated more than 1 000 non-compliant employers in the sector and secured 390 acknowledgements of debt.

SECURITY IN ACTION

By Neil Cameron, general manager, Johnson Controls Building Efficiency

Increased demand for integrationIn 2016, the concept of technologies communicating with one another will no longer be a thing of the future.

In addition, security management teams have reached a point where they will be looking for integrated solutions that not only communicate with one other, but also offer robust analytics that are capable of generating executable information.

We will also learn that risk management teams want simplicity that improves their return on investment (RoI). This means there will be a logical move from manual, people-based security systems that feed information through to operators and security managers toward security technology that is aligned with automated streams. It will transform traditional CCTV surveillance systems into a comprehensive operational tool, benefiting all areas within an organisation.

Integration will spread to other areas as well, and instead of being limited to two or three suppliers who are able to integrate with an organisation’s CCTV systems, open platforms will become a far bigger role player as they enable integration with multitude of systems. This will result in better personalisation of security facilities, tailored to a customer’s specific needs.

Big data will require automation and artificial intelligenceBig data will be a driving force in the field of security. However, it is not an easy concept to understand and as such, processes will need to be established in the background that can formulate this data into meaningful, useful information.

This will result in higher automation and integration requirements for a security system, yet saying this, it will become easier

and more cost-effective to handle.Additionally, it delivers more value to the

business and is more useful to the end users. Integration and Machine to Machine (M2M)

communication also results in big data as components that communicate with each other generate data, much more data.

This information can become overwhelming, and organisations will reach a point where they will require artificial intelligence behind their systems. This artificial intelligence will be used to analyse data and identify potential security risks.

Behind-the-scenes automation can, through fuzzy network logic, look at algorithms to highlight areas of possible infringement and can allow the business to focus only on the higher risks, while ignoring other points in the building as those will have been identified as “normal” activations.

Transformation of CCTV systems into comprehensive operational toolAll this is changing the security mindset to one that looks beyond security, including other functions. Risk management teams will no longer be concerned with preventing incidents. They’ll be looking at how to add value from an operational perspective.

For example, in the case of a retail shopping mall, CCTV systems can be used to identify trends that highlight consumers’ preferences and movements, enabling retailers to arrange merchandise accordingly.

Bottlenecks at points-of-sale can be prevented and more cashiers dispatched.

To cite another example, if a component on a mining conveyor belt fails, the correct measures can quickly be taken and an alert automatically sent to the operations manager to summon a maintenance team to repair it.

Security is not limited to businesses and the commercial sectors – the need to have a better sense of security and monitoring

services in other sectors such as education will also see an increase, for security and operational purposes. This reflects the private sector’s desire for smart security.

2016 is going to be a big year trend-wise. Staying on top of the trends in the security industry will mean that organisations are better equipped to make important decisions, and more likely to spot threats and identify opportunities for growth before the competition can.

Big data, more integration, Better return on investment

As 2016 rolls on, a number of factors and trends will gain traction in the security sector, shaping the progression of the security sector. These include increased demand for integration, big data which will require automation and artificial intelligence, and the transformation of CCTV systems into a comprehensive operational tool.

RISK MANAGEMENT SPECIAL FEATURE

globally, recognising those potential employees that might pose a risk has proven effective in pre-emptively preventing insider crime. Pre-employment background checks are an often undervalued weapon in the arsenal of employers, despite the important role they play in the overall employment process.

Identifying potential risk factors in candidates can help you gain a better understanding of how an individual will fit into your company culture, if their qualifications are relevant to the position, and if they have a history of disciplinary issues at previous employers.

An all-encompassing pre-employment screening programme should assess the mental and psychological health of a candidate, as well as providing a platform for continuous evaluation of their performance during their duties.

Hiring an employee represents a significant investment from your side, both in terms of financial outlay and time. Covering your bases during the hiring process can ensure success in the long-term for both you and the candidate.

By conducting an expansive and in-depth pre-employment background check, you can have access to an invaluable risk management tool that helps protect you against potentially disastrous hiring decisions.

There are two key components to an effective background check – verifying the information and credentials of a candidate, such as educational and employment histories, as well as conducting research into their personal records, which could include their criminal record or credit reports, amongst others.

In cases such as these where sensitive personal information is being handled, it is often more safe and effective to make use of a competent background screening company so as to avoid any potential legal pitfalls.

Comprehensive pre-employment screening can effectively minimise the

Risk management can be broadly defined as the identification, assessment and prioritisation of risks

followed by co-ordinated and economical application of resources to minimise, monitor, and control the probability and/or impact of unforeseen events.

Security risk management is the specific culture, processes and structures that are directed towards maximising the benefits of security in support of business objectives.

While a large number of people are still fearful of outsider threats, it has been pointed out that a significant amount of cybercrimes, particularly in a corporate setting, are committed by company employees with access to sensitive information.

A recent study by PricewaterhouseCoopers revealed that 32 per cent of respondents believed that insider crimes were more costly to their company than external threats.

Despite the more substantial risk of insider crime, only 49 per cent of the respondents claimed to have implemented a plan to deal with internal threats, despite a reported insider incident detection rate of approximately 28 per cent.

Employers today are paying more attention to the potential risks that employees pose to their organisations, regardless of whether they are long-time employees or temporary workers and contractors.

The ability for individuals to cause havoc from within an organisation is an issue that continues to grow annually, and has come to be known as insider threat.

Key to combating the potential danger posed by insider threats is to understand the various forms it takes and how at-risk employees compromise systems or information from within a company. These kinds of threats range from theft of intellectual property, trade secrets, or embezzlement of company funds, among others.

Despite the wide array of white collar crimes that pose a risk to organisations

effect of candidates lying during the interview process.

Instead of hiring an individual and finding out, after a number of months, that they lied about their qualifications, for example, pre-employment screening allows an employer to clarify this information before hiring and allows you to act accordingly.

However, even with seemingly sound hires there is still the potential for them to pose an insider threat to your organisation. Employees with a greater level of access to sensitive information are often in a position of power that, should they wish, would allow them to take advantage of this.

Additionally, risk factors such as an urgent need for money, the introduction of substance abuse, or other similar circumstances could lead an otherwise safe employee to pose a security threat.

In order to minimise the risk of these situations arising you need to ensure that your background check encompasses ongoing screening during your employees’ period of employment that continuously assesses their performance and risk potential in the organisation.

The fact of the matter is that employers need to stay on the ball before and during an employee’s lifecycle at any given company.

While the cost of pre-employment screening processes is often considered just an added expense, the security of knowing how effective and trustworthy your employees are will not only help save money in the long-term, but ensure a stable and secure work environment for you and your workforce.

Bottom line: Employers must conduct due diligence before AND after hiring an employee. While this requires spending money, and the cost of background checks can be seen as a drag on the bottom line, the average cost of a screening usually equals the salary paid to employees for their first day of work. To paraphrase a well-known 1970s marketing slogan: “You can pay (a little) now, or pay (a lot) later.”

The insider threatOpinion Piece

Security risk management is a broad term, one that can encompass anything from physical risk to information risk. It’s all about loss prevention to people and organisations. Most of the time we assume these threats are merely external. So, what do risk managers do when the threat is possibly an internal one? by Jenny Reid, iFacts Managing Director

Specifically designed to equip narrow mounting surfaces, such as glass/aluminium door mullions, turnstiles, or server rack doors, the MorphoAccess SIGMA Lite terminals are IP65 rated and vandal resistant (IK08).

Impro’s new Portal range will also feature strongly on the stand. The range includes the entry level Portal Lite, Portal Basic (with free software for biometrics), Portal Pro (for medium to large environments) and Portal Enterprise (for large facilities such as airports and educational facilities).

All products represent a concerted move away from platform-based software towards web-based solutions. When additional stations are

Our aim with exhibiting at Securex is to expose the leading brands we represent to as many people as possible, including installers, the trade, consultants and end users.

We will achieve this at Securex 2016 by demonstrating the use of the products as part of solutions in a number of the vertical markets in which they are popularly deployed. These include education, residential and business estates, as well as manufacturing and production,” Mr Powell points out.

The company was the recipient of the award for the best stand in the 18-48 m2 category at Securex 2015 and this year’s stand has been designed to encourage visitors to hone in on the product sets suited to their market sector. Four display towers, located at each of the corners of the stand, contain solutions that will increase productivity, decrease absenteeism, enhance visitor security and make management of operations so much simpler.

The stand design echoes the company’s business philosophy for the immediate future, seeing a focus on the three critical areas of solutions, service and support.

Mr Powell maintains that the company’s business strategy has never been to merely sell boxed products, but rather to amplify the benefits of customised, customer-driven solutions.

An interactive meeting and refreshments area in the centre of the stand will allow visitors to discuss bespoke requirements and integration needs with the knowledgeable Powell Tronics team.

According to national sales manager, Mike Austen, a presence at Securex intensifies the opportunity for Powell Tronics to promote holistic solutions to growing market sectors that include the education arena; business and residential estates; government facilities; the retail sector, specifically distribution centres; and upgraded and new facilities within the courier and logistics market.

New technologyHighlighting the latest technologies from its own P-Tron and ATOM ranges, as well as Safran Morpho, Impro and Golmar Powell Tronics’ stand will contain software and hardware set up to emulate a true working environment.

Mr Powell says the towers will focus predominantly on the Sigma Lite range of products, Impro Portal and the latest Golmar IP technologies, together with a number of portable devices which can be used in various scenarios. All products showcased on the stand are characterised by the growing trend towards stylish aesthetic looks. This is a clear reflection of the clean, modern designs adopted in the vertical markets serviced by Powell Tronics.

Paxton to debut at Securex South Africa

Taking place at the Gallagher Convention Centre, Johannesburg from 24-26 May, visitors to the

Paxton stand, C10 located in Hall 2, can find out about the company’s full range of innovative security solutions.

This includes its flagship access control system, Net2 and the award winning IP ready door entry system, Net2 Entry.

On-stand demonstrations will enable delegates to see for themselves how straightforward Paxton products are, and a team of industry experts will be on hand to offer advice and information.

The company offers free, hands-on installer training for its complete range of stand-alone and networked products.

Sessions are designed to provide the essential knowledge needed to fit Paxton solutions, including installation techniques and fault-finding, as well as useful

information regarding the administration and use of the systems.

A series of access control workshops aimed at building services engineers and specifiers were recently introduced by the company to provide support when specifying access control into a building project.

Plus, a new online consultant and specifier resource provides a detailed guide for those specifying security.

Dan Drayton, sales manager, EMEA, at Paxton Access says: “We’re delighted to be exhibiting at Securex in Johannesburg.

“The show provides us with the opportunity to demonstrate Paxton’s growth and commitment within the South African market.

“Paxton strives for engineering excellence which means designing and manufacturing intelligent and innovative security products that make life easier for our customers.

“We are looking forward to catching up

Paxton, a UK market leading designer and manufacturer of electronic IP access control and door entry equipment will be exhibiting for the first time at Securex.

with our existing customers, as well as establishing new business relationships with installers and specifiers, providing them with information about Paxton, our product range and free education programme.”

Products are available to purchase through Paxton’s dedicated network of distribution partners in South Africa – Pinnacle, Reditron, Regal Security and Westcon.

added, one simply grants access rights to the new user through their user name and password on the server link.

Portal makes use of cluster controllers to cluster doors together. The intelligent controller allows easy migration by “telling” the controller whether it is a door controller, entry level or higher level controller, simply by moving the dip switch into the required position.

Powell Tronics’ ATOM range, which includes time and attendance products, are web-based to ensure ease of installation and maintenance, while at the same time providing the end user with a comprehensive time management solution easily accessible from any point on the network.

There are three variants of the Powell Tronics ATOM software suite – ATOM Core; ATOM Fusion; and ATOM Charged with its recently released ATOM Charged Mobile feature set.

ATOM Charged is ideal for use on the MorphoTablet, a touchscreen device running on Android, with a 7-inch display and cellular, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. This additional option is highly cost effective and provides the user friendly approach appreciated by regular tablet users, with the added benefit of capturing time and attendance for a remote location in offline mode.

PT-Guest, a visitor management system that scans and decrypts South African driver’s licences, the green barcoded ID book, and vehicle licence discs, then integrates the data with Impro’s IXP400 ImproNet access control systems, has been further refined to suit demands from the market.

Continued from p15

In addition, the company is currently completing the revised integration to the new Portal range.

Similarly, PT-Scan, a Wi-Fi enabled stand-alone visitor information capture solution that also scans South African driver’s licences and green barcoded ID books, and makes use of its own SQL database.

Golmar’s GB2 is the newest two-wire digital BUS system specially developed for medium size buildings.

The technology is able to provide intercommunication between apartments, picture memory, and connection to GSM telephones. All these features are contained within the new VESTA and THERA hands-free monitors, as well on the new NHEA hands-free audio unit.

The Golmar iPlus is a full IP digital system, allowing connection of door entry panels and video monitors by using a new or an existing LAN infrastructure. The LAN can be shared with other IP devices. The monitors and panels are connected with a simple RJ-45 connector coming from a PoE switch.

Intercoms between apartments, memory image and message broadcast service are some of the multiple features of this new intercom generation.

“We are excited about Securex 2016. While many see exhibitions as cost centres, we can honestly say our investment at Securex 2015 was completely covered by the solution sales we made as a result of our presence there. Added to this is the ongoing benefit we derive from having our brands imprinted on the minds of the exhibition’s visitors,” Mr Powell concludes.

SECUREX 2016

SECURITY WITH INTEGRITY

If we think of people or business entities who are presumed to have integrity, (judges, doctors, ministers and military

officers) we can still find many examples of dishonesty, immorality, theft and even criminal behaviour. From leaders who shamelessly line their own pockets, to unethical employees, as well as public servants who take bribes. Be it business, politics, sports, or education, we need not look far for examples of failings.

The security industry is no different. Stories about non-compliant firms, engaging in dodgy practices to obtain new business and increase profit margins are commonplace.

When Omega Risk Solutions was formed, more than a decade ago, its aim was to differentiate itself in the marketplace, based on the principle of integrity. Hence the adopted philosophy of “Security with Integrity”.

There’s no doubt that those companies that have integrity often stand out as exemplary. Customers are naturally attracted to integrity

as they prefer to conduct business with companies that have a reputation for honesty and transparency. Employees also strive to work for companies that exude integrity and truly value their human capital.

In order to drive business integrity, it must become the lifeblood of the organisation. It should be reflected in the way that we think, make decisions, how we act, and how we treat each other on a daily basis.

But what is integrity?Integrity comes from the Latin word, Integritas, meaning wholeness or completeness.

It is said that back in the time of the Ancient Romans the legionnaires (soldiers) would line up for inspection before marching into battles. The centurions (commanders) would inspect each soldier to ensure readiness for war. As they made their way down the ranks, each soldier in full battle gear would snap to attention.

He would take his right fist and bang on his breastplate while shouting “integritas”. This

would indicate that the soldier was complete, whole – ready for battle.

In the same way, integrity should form the very essence of security. Without integrity, security cannot ever be complete.

What does integrity look like?Integrity or the lack thereof ultimately determines quality. Aside from blatant disregard for legislated legal requirements and business best practices or ignoring the needs of customers and employees, there are many factors that can affect a company’s perceived integrity.

Is a team potentially blinded by closing deals for financial gain, or do they really care about the needs of their customers? Does the product or service that they offer meet the minimum requirements promised or do they cut corners just to improve bottom-line results? Are clients treated with respect or are they kept in the dark when things go wrong? Does the company follow through on

commitments? Are employees treated in a fair manner at all times?

In the contemporary business world, integrity is one of the most sought-after qualities. A business with integrity demonstrates honesty, morality and quality in its products, services, people and actions. It becomes evident in every department, forms part of every employee and is core to all business relationships.

What are the drivers of integrity?Leadership: Integrity always starts at the top. It’s up to the leaders and managers of a business to set the tone for employees to follow, and to build an organisational culture of integrity. Both customers and employees need to feel confident that decisions made are legal, ethical and with honest intent. When a company’s leadership acts with integrity, it cascades down and gains momentum. When leaders and employees work in alignment the business functions as a coherent team.

Operational best practices: A business with integrity must infuse its corporate policies and guidelines with ethical standards. Not only should business practice meet with minimum legal requirements, but these practices must also be seen to be fair and in line with client expectations. Consistency in making morally correct decisions and performing ethical actions is a measurable sign of integrity.

Customer relationships: A business with integrity is transparent in its dealings, treats its customers with respect and provides them with the highest quality of products and services. This business should also have the fortitude to take responsibility when mistakes are made.

Employee relationships and output: There should be strong emphasis on recruiting people with a high level of integrity, time must be taken to train staff to meet client expectations, and fair human resources

What is integrity? A complicated set of principles that may vary according to moral consideration or circumstances. Or is it simply doing the right thing because it’s the right thing to do?

Business integrity: An oxymoron?

“Integrity should form the very essence of security. Without it security service delivery cannot ever be complete” Roy Rawlins, managing director, Omega Risk Solutions


practices should be put in place to drive client and employee loyalty.

Community and skills upliftment: The integrity of a business can also be measured by its commitment to the community in which it operates, and how much it adds value to those people that are touched by its operations. Running a business is about pouring back into the community and constantly uplifting those employees that form the lifeblood of an organisation.

Omega: Living Security with IntegrityJust as the Ancient Romans believed that their legions should be complete and whole before going into battle, at Omega, we believe that when it comes to integrity, there cannot be any cutting of corners. Integrity is not a choice. It is who and what we are.

Our customers hire us to provide them with “genuine” risk solutions and that is what we do. Integrity drives trust and trust drives respect.

In the words of our CEO, Faan du Toit: “Omega provides world-class integrated security solutions by consistently exceeding our customer expectations through operational excellence and innovation. Our vision is to be the most respected supplier of integrated security services to blue-chip companies across the world.”

The consistency and excellence of Omega’s services are paramount to its reputation

and success and this can only be achieved through the highest quality of operation standards. Our customers depend on us to protect their lives and assets. This is a task that we do not take light heartedly. Our aim is to never let them down.

Omega Risk Solutions expects all employees to conduct themselves in an honest and trustworthy manner at all times in any matter that the company may have an interest. Managers are committed and skilled to deal with its employees in an open and respectful manner and to provide them with opportunities to advance their careers. This all culminates into a sense of pride and the word PRIDE is reflective of our values namely Passion, Respect, Integrity, Discipline and Excellence.

In the security industry vigilance and skills in the management of operations makes the difference in instilling and enforcing integrity of employees. Our Quality management system, which is SABS approved has a tracking, reporting and enforcement system in place that enables us to enforce integrity not only internally but in serving our external clients as well.

The Omega Risk Solutions Training Academy which is City and Guilds accredited, firmly adopted the motto of “Security with Integrity”. As part of our quest to improve the industry’s standards the Training Academy embedded Integrity competencies into all our curriculums. This ensures that integrity remains the lifeblood of our organisation.

André Eckard, the General Manager of the Omega Training Academy says that quality training is expensive, often leading to shortcuts. There are also many unemployed security officers, who obtained their qualifications through “fly by night, or mass production” training institutions. In some instances some of the security officers buy their qualifications without being properly trained.

In line with our philosophy of “Security with Integrity”, Omega Risk Solutions takes no short cuts. Security officers who are recruited from within the industry are exposed to a full training programme at the Omega Training Academy. This takes them through a dedicated refresher program with Integrity as a key component to ensure operational effectiveness.

Omega, in conjunction with its clients, constantly seeks ways to contribute and uplift the community in which we operate, be it from a financial perspective or by getting involved in other projects. These communities do also provide for future generations in security and the earlier we can invest in building security officers with integrity, the better.

In summary…In order for the industry to stand up and act with integrity, the leaders will have to set the pace and tone.

In the movie We Were Soldiers, in which Mel Gibson acts as Lt Moore, the following memorable monologues sums it all up. “We are going into battle against a tough and determined enemy. I can’t promise you that I will bring you all home alive. But this I swear, before you and before the Almighty God: that when we go into battle, I will be the first to set foot on the field, and I’ll be the last to step off. And I will leave no one behind. Dead or alive, we will all come home together, so help me God.”

Omega Risk Solutions plays a leading role in uplifting the security industry and its people. As a company Omega more than meets the required certifications, qualifications and memberships that are necessary for us to take our place as the industry leader.

The Beagle Watch team made yet another arrest this week, this time at a well-known retailer on

14th Avenue, Northcliff. Reaction Officer Dube who was at the premises at the time of the robbery was informed by one of the staff members about the theft. He gave chase after the suspect, arrested him and recovered the stolen goods. The SAP were on the scene and took the suspect into custody.

“It was great teamwork with the public, the staff and the SAP all getting involved,” said Reaction Officer Dube. “Assistance from the public makes our job a lot easier and tougher for the criminals.”

“Again it’s all down to timing. Having the number of cars that we have on the roads and with the

LAUNCHING AT SECUREX 2016

DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED in Poland, the FPX10 has developed the

biometric technology by expanding its functionality and application in businesses. We, at Active Track (Pty) Ltd, are the Polish manufacturer’s preferred African re-seller.

While it monitors time and attendance, much in the same way as traditional biometric systems, the FPX10 Biometric is able to capture data through fingerprints, as well as RFID tags. While biometrics generally use a five-point fingerprint recognition, FPX10 relies on a 21-point fingerprint identification, which ensures extremely accurate inputs insofar as the roll-call, and clocking in and out of staff is concerned. In addition to fingerprint identification, FPX10 is equipped with RFID tag recognition. This feature enables the FPX10 to monitor inter alia the movements of valuable assets, by attaching an RFID tag to each item, to be scanned when being checked in and out, respectively. As

an additional safeguard, one can demand that employees simultaneously scan their fingerprints, and the relevant RFID tags, when moving assets.

The brilliance of monitoring staff and assets with FPX10, is fully portrayed by the device’s GSM functionality, and Active View – FPX10’s web-based support platform. With these capabilities, employers are able to access data, in real-time. This feature allows the employer to determine, at any given time, exactly which employees and/or assets are clocking in or out of the designated premises, and the precise time thereof. Insofar as no-shows, late arrivals and early departures are concerned, the employer can rely on the data as a record of absenteeism, and take disciplinary action against the relevant member of staff. From a cost perspective, the time and attendance data stored on Activeview can be integrated into the employer’s payroll system, thereby ensuring that the employer only pays for hours worked –

The industry is no stranger to biometrics – a fingerprint scanner, monitoring employees’ clocking in-and-out times. However, the FPX10 has vastly improved and extended biometric capabilities.

The FPX10 monitors the time, attendance and whereabouts of employees, as well as the whereabouts of valuable assets, in real time, through fingerprint and RFID tag scanning.

This easy-to-install, maintenance-inclusive solution is a must for players in all labour-intensive industries looking to improve control over their staff and assets, and reduce their payroll.

Mobile

No maintenance costs

Suitable for all labour-intensive industries

Configured to specific site requirements

Data capturing through fingerprint and/or RFID tag

Accurate 21-point fingerprint recognition

GSM enabled, allowing for real-time monitoring and roll-call

Functionality and data can be controlled remotely, through the Active View online portal

Data can be integrated into Payroll Management Systems

Reduces unwanted overtime

Pre-programmed stay-awake, fire, medical, and emergency panic functions

Can be used in conjunction with a personnel monitoring device – adding value to business


nothing more. In addition, an employer can reduce unwanted overtime, by regularly reviewing the real-time record of time and attendance.

At a practical level, the Active View portal allows the customer to edit and update the functionality and intelligence of each of its FPX10 devices, remotely. This would be particularly useful in a security company, where guards are rotated between a range of sites. The security company would simply log on to the portal, and move the relevant guard’s fingerprint intelligence from an FPX10 device stationed at one site, to an FPX10 device stationed at another. Once actioned, the guard would sign on for his shift at the new site, as he had done at the previous site. The data would automatically

adjust to reflect the new site on the guard’s profile, stored on Active View.

Due to its portable nature, the FPX10 is easy to install, and can be implemented in all labour-intensive industries. In a relatively short space of time, the FPX10 has been implemented in the security, mining, construction, hospitality, medical health, and landscaping industries. This wide-spread implementation bears testament to the diverse functionality and application of the FPX10.

While the primary focus of the FPX10 is to reduce the customer’s payroll, and improve the monitoring of its staff, it also assists in safeguarding the lives of those employees utilising the device, and the premises at which it is installed. This is achieved

through pre-programmed stay-awake, fire, medical, and emergency panic activations, which have been successfully relied on in distress situations.

In striving to be the lead supplier of FPX10 in Africa, Active Track (Pty) Ltd incorporates maintenance and technical support into the customer’s monthly rental fee. This monthly rental fee is substantially lower than industry standard. Reducing these costs, and implementing fixed monthly figures, offers us a sizeable advantage over competitors offering similar biometrics.

We, at Active Track (Pty) Ltd, invite you to contact us to arrange a demonstration on the FPX10 Biometric – the sophisticated professional in biometric technology.


CASE STUDY

MissionJaguar Land Rover (JLR) approached Axis Gold Partner, Camsecure to find a cost-effective solution to solve high level technical concerns remotely.

The headquarters’ technical team devoted a significant amount of time out of office travelling to any one of the 44 dealerships across South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa, identifying atypical challenges on-site.

JLR commissioned Camsecure to provide an innovative solution to increase its technical team’s ability to offer the same level of assistance from a central office, while improving the customer’s experience by expediting the service turnaround time.

SolutionCamsecure partnered with Axis to develop a unique and affordable solution. The collaboration led to the customisation of the AXIS M1034-W network camera to serve as a “third eye” so to speak.

The Axis network camera’s wireless capability, LED illumination, and two-way audio was fashioned into a headgear device that produces a live video stream to show, in real-time, what the technician on-the-ground sees.

ResultThis Axis network camera kit is the first of its kind in the automotive industry and its success could see it rolling out to other geographically-challenged regions. This innovative device cancels out any dealer guesswork when facing rare/unique complications, while having an expert observe the problem area means that cars are repaired quicker. Furthermore, the

Axis solution paves the way

fast turnaround time positively impacts on customer experience, plus time and travel costs will decrease significantly over time.

“The creative customisation of this simple Axis network camera has helped Jaguar Land Rover South Africa and sub-Sahara Africa reprioritise customer service, improve the experience with our brand and better manage our operating efficiencies and resources.

And, as a first in the industry, this unique device has given us the competitive advantage to further differentiate our offering,” says Steve Coxley, technical services manager, Jaguar Land Rover South Africa and sub-Sahara Africa.

Heritage rooted in innovationThe iconic British car brands, Jaguar and Land Rover have become synonymous with advanced design, engineering and technology. In fact, it’s renowned for developing world-class innovations stemming from its extensive research and development (R&D) strategy. It invests more in R&D than any other vehicle manufacturing company in the UK.

Streamlining operational efficienciesOnly four technical engineers at the JLR African headquarters are on hand to support the dealerships across the continent. That’s 36 in South Africa and eight in sub-Sahara.

Typically, dealer technicians call on the headquarter team to assist with complex service problems on vehicles. However, in some instances they need detailed support, making it difficult to explain and resolve without seeing the problem area in live view.

In that case, the technician then travels through to the dealer, which could result in extended periods of time out of office especially when it’s located outside of South Africa.

This, in turn, not only leads to a backlog in the workload, but also a delayed turnaround time for customers.

Mr Coxley started investigating a more efficient operational process. He approached Camsecure with his business challenge, highlighting the need for his team to view the onsite problems remotely.

Managing director of Camsecure, Francois Malan has built up his company through project-based, innovative, technology solutions.

In response to Mr Coxley’s request, he partnered with Axis, based on their innovative product portfolio and global market leadership to source a cost-effective and readily available Wi-Fi camera with built-in audio.

The AXIS M1034-W network camera was identified as the most suitable based on the fact that it features all the elements to custom-make a unique solution for JLR.

The small, smart and wireless HDTV camera includes a white LED to illuminate the focus point. It also offers two-way audio communication with integrated microphone and speaker, allowing remote listening in on an area, as well as communication with individuals directly or using recorded audio clips.

The lightweight camera was attached to a headband to free up technician’s hands, and has a stand and clamp for mounting too. It also boasts easy to use functionality.

The tailor-made device has since been packaged and branded by JLR and kits, including power banks and clamps, have been bought and distributed to each dealership.

Competitive advantageAlthough the device is fairly rudimentary, it meets the brief and is already improving efficiencies, reuniting customers with their vehicles a lot quicker.

Plus, there’s potential to streamline the operating solution and further develop its capabilities.

Given that this is a first in the automotive industry, Mr Coxley firmly believes this innovative design affords the brand a competitive edge that has potential to go beyond the African borders and roll-out to similarly geographically challenged regions.

Camsecure and Axis collaborate to customise a solution that not only improves efficiencies, but puts customers at the heart of the brand experience.

device, an alarm would be triggered in the Active Track 24-hour support centre.

In response to the alarm, the support centre silently called the Active Track device and briefly listened in on the scene, whereafter it immediately alerted the security company.

Within minutes, a response vehicle was dispatched by the security company. Upon arrival, the member of the response team notified the police of the robbery.

In an effort to locate the stolen goods, and robbers, the security company logged on to Activeview, Active Track’s online portal, and examined the profiles of the two Active Track devices.

Through the GPS feature, it transpired that the devices were on the move. The police pursued the movements of the Active Track devices in order to locate and apprehend the robbers, and seize the stolen goods.

The Active Track devices led the police to a landfill on the outskirts of Johannesburg, where the devices had been buried.

While the Active Track devices were swiftly recovered, neither the balance of the stolen goods, nor the robbers, were found.

On re-tracing the movements of the Active Track devices, the police visited an address at which the devices had been stationary for more than three hours prior to being dumped.

It transpired that the address was the headquarters of the robbers. The robbers were consequently arrested, and the stolen goods seized.

CASE STUDY


At the time of the robbery, two security officials – armed with Active Track devices – were

patrolling the site. After attempting to overcome the robbers, the security officials were tied up, whereafter the assailants fled with an array of luxury sound systems, electronic fish finders, GPS devices, and the two Active Track devices.

Amid the commotion, one of the guards dropped his Active Track device. The guard in question was aware that by dropping the

TECHNOLOGY UPDATE

By Laurence Smith, Executive at Graphic Image Technologies

In the face of these challenges, the biggest difficulty of managing a massive workforce that is tasked with providing

protection for people, assets, homes and offices is the complexity that comes with it.

As if these factors aren’t challenging enough, the issue of price cutting between security firms has created an industry that is difficult to sustain on price alone. Security companies must look for ways to do more with less.

Technology is the key that will let security companies move beyond survival mode and allow them to thrive, while improving guarding services, cutting costs, improving efficiencies and boosting profitability.

Technology is the answerThe biggest challenge most security companies are grappling with is the question of how to effectively manage their labour force, which largely makes up the guarding element of their service.

How can security companies manage people more efficiently and cut costs while still using the same labour force? It’s important to bear in mind that we don’t want to reduce the labour force, just improve on its efficiency.

By improving on workforce efficiency, security companies can take on more sites with fewer staff ‘manning’ these sites – technology is able to assist staff to work far more efficiently and importantly, effectively.

Guarding is manpower-intensive and if guards are not adequately protected or

executing their duties in an efficient and effective manner, this can prove to be a huge headache and a potential danger to clients.

To make security guards more efficient, it’s worthwhile considering wearable technology, like tactical CCTV jackets. These jackets, which can be worn over the bulletproof vest, provides control rooms with low bitrate live video streaming and GPS information, so that control room operator has access to live footage as it happens. This enables the operator to dispatch back up when it’s needed.

Such a wearable CCTV jacket also serves to ensure that ensures guards carry out their duties according to set procedures or policies with the ability to monitor their performance from a central station.

See more, do more with technologyIt is also worthwhile upgrading technology used for CCTV surveillance purposes. Remote CCTV can stream footage at ultra-low bandwidth capabilities while military-grade thermal cameras can detect people and movement at any time of day or night, with or without light in almost any kind of weather condition.

In addition the use of Ultra High Definition (UHD or 4K) cameras deliver detailed images for enhanced viewing and detail. By increasing the functionality and power of these CCTV solutions, security companies can see more and thus take more action and further reduce crime.

Making surveillance even more efficient is the critical video analytics component. It is now possible to use a computer or

analytics engine to do a lot of the work that a human would have had to do in the past – monitoring live feeds from CCTV cameras just became a whole lot more efficient with the addition of an analytics engine, which provides real-time incident alerts and fewer false alarms. Video analytics also simplify control room processes, ensuring personnel can quickly identify potential threats and incidents and execute on these, without delay.

Video analytics enables what is essentially “blank screen monitoring”, in that the system will give notifications of risks according to specific rules set up, and guards are not required to constantly have their eyes on the camera feeds.

We’ve all read the statistic that reveals that, within 20 minutes of watching a bank of video screens, a guard is likely to miss 80% of what is happening. Video analytics allows the operator to minimise the labour that goes into 24/7 surveillance, because through the use of sophisticated algorithms and pixel-by-pixel analysis, video analytics can pick up on the smallest of details.

Video analytics removes the scope for human error and drastically improves monitoring efficiency. By automating many of the functions previously performed by humans, technology makes the guarding element of security far more reliable.

The right combination of modern UHD cameras and video analytics software in the CCTV set-up, as well as the addition of wearable CCTV cameras can enable tech-savvy security companies to provide their service at a lower cost, and at a higher efficiency level.

New technology pragmatic way to improve and enhance efficienciesIn South Africa security has become a necessity and is no longer a luxury. While an indispensable commodity, the security industry is still subject to the same challenges that every other industry is facing: growing economic pressures, rising costs, increased crime levels and shrinking margins.

At the same time and although they will not form part of the specific focus of this article, there have been

a large number of service delivery protests in South Africa covering all provinces and having their flashpoints in housing, electrical and water services, poverty, demarcation disputes and development of economic opportunities.

With respect to the university protests, the starting point was the refusal to register students at the Tshwane University of Technology with outstanding fees to continue their courses of study. This was simultaneous with the failure of the Government’s National Student Financial Aid Scheme to honour commitments to disburse payments to students and tertiary institutions on a national basis.

From Tshwane, the university protests spread to the Western Cape with the

University of Cape Town, University of Stellenbosch and University of the Western Cape.

Campus mobilisation spread to the balance of universities and allied tertiary institutions with the Universities of the Witwatersrand, Free State, Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University and North-West University all involved in the #feesmustfall unrest.

The fee protest came off the announcement that it was intended to raise university fees by a figure in excess of 10 per cent and, while Government initially largely ignored the demands, eventually they acquiesced to holding fees to a zero increase base.

After this, the protests became more fragmented and focused on issues such as accommodation, language of instruction, racism, free tertiary education and outsourcing of campus services.

The level of violence that came with the expanded action on university campuses escalated to include the destruction of artworks, burning of furniture in lecture halls, assaults on both sides of the role players, closure of campuses and disruptions in the vicinity of universities.

The recent protests on campuses are similar to those that took place in 1998, which were driven by university fees excluding students and were heavily based on the Freedom

Charter’s statements on education and higher education.

In both instances, the age of the protesters was similar and, given the change in demographics between 1998 and 2015-2016 is noteworthy and of concern.

Statistics South Africa released a report entitled “National and provincial labour market: Youth Q1: 2008–Q1: 2015” which is startling, if somewhat concentrated and intense reading.

In terms of the report, the term “youth” is defined as falling between 15-35 years of age which in itself is problematic in that a person between 25-35 years of age would be expected to be a parent and have responsibilities more closely aligned to an adult.

In 2015, the total working-age population is reported to be in the region of 35.8 million and of this total, 19.7 million fall within the youth grouping.

In 2008, the same figures were for a total pool of 31.5 million with 18.2 million being youths.

From a demographic perspective this shows a healthy trend with an escalating labour pool within the defined youth sector available to enter the economy.

The reality, sadly, is that since the beginning of the economic downturn in 2008 and

subsequent sluggish growth of the South African economy there has been a contraction of some 221 000 in employment places for the youth sector as opposed to an increase of 1.5 million entrants for employment in the adult sector.

Over the same period, there has been an increase in the number of students entering tertiary institutions with a correspondingly high number of students failing to complete their studies.

At the lower levels of education, there have been increasing numbers of students entering the job market with matric qualifications who are unable to find employment.

This is, itself, an indictment of not only the educational system that does not provide a sufficient level of education to provide a meaningful entrance into the job market with a prospect of obtaining formal employment and, at the upper level, a sufficient grounding to complete a tertiary course of study, but also of the management of the economy at a macro level with a diminishing annualised rate of growth of our economy.

in capacity of the formal economy to create formal employment.

On an international basis, the World Bank Unemployment Data is sobering. If the “S” section is reviewed, it is apparent that South Africa has a higher unemployment rate than Syria, Sierra Leone, Somalia and Senegal, in most cases by a considerable margin.

Given that South Africa is one of the largest economies in Africa, and the economic and financial infrastructures and expertise situated locally, this is disturbing in the extreme.

Building off this, the peer youth group of the university students have, according to the Statistics South Africa report, an unemployment rate in excess of 63 per cent and this level of unemployment must lead to frustration that in turn will lead to participation in service delivery and other protest as well as criminality as a survival mechanism.

This peer relationship and exposure would have had an effect on both groups and exacerbated the situation and allied protests by both groups.

Looking at the unrest on campuses, those actively involved would all fall into the definition of “youths” and would have a matric qualification with university entrance.

University students are regarded as

intellectually well above average and would have expectations that are again well above average.

The harsh economic realities of obtaining a place at a university, registration, financing a minimum of three years of study, obtaining employment and then repaying loans is a daunting one at the start of the period and would, to most students, become increasingly so as time progresses. A further reality is the erosion of employment opportunities which increases the difficulty of servicing debt.

The level of frustration and anger demonstrated during the protests, combined with the spread of demands and lack of clear understanding of the implications of demands such as ending outsourcing and introduction of free tertiary education is understandable on one level, but are probably also the result of politicisation and alternate agendas being introduced.

The Arab Spring risk has been referred to as a prime example of how populist uprisings can lead to regime changes and act as a catalyst for change.

The kick-off of the Arab Spring protests related to employment and levels of poverty in the Arab states, but spread to include demands for changes in Government and social orders.

LAW & SECURITY

The rolling success of the protests was notable with only Syria remaining a country where the level of protest did not lead to social change, and Syria remains in armed conflict.

The reference to the Arab Spring and associated social order changes is not to be seen as anything other than a commentary.

However, given the upcoming Municipal elections later this year and national elections on the horizon, combined with

the current volatile political situation, adversarial position in Parliament and numerous superior court challenges against senior members of the African National Council, the political landscape is likely to be under extreme pressure with changes in allegiances and voting patterns on the cards.

Should the process and any resulting changes not be managed in accordance with the Constitution with support from the

existing state mechanisms, the end result may be a further challenge to South Africa.

The campus protests, and the social issues they have highlighted should, accordingly, be seen and treated with the respect they deserve.
