The change will come into effect on 14th April, and further details will issued shortly. NEW WEBINARS HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL The first two Security Institute webinars have proved a popular addition to the events programme, with over 100 members signing up to take part at the first one ~ a challenge for sure. In fact, it proved so successful that the breakfast briefing in February was changed to this format too. Getting ready for the launch It was an interesting learning process all round— with each participant able to view the presentation and watch webinar presenter Ken Livingstone deliver his talk on “Aspects of Security Management and Criminology”. We had a dummy run the day before, with Ken set up as the presenter, Vickie Bailiss logged in as the administrator, and Di Thomas logged in as a member—it was interesting to work out who could see (and hear!) what. When Mike Gillespie stepped up to deliver his webinar on “When Toasters Attack” in Feburary, it was (almost) routine. Many thanks to both presenters for their time and trust, and for setting the bar high for future events. How do Webinars work? Webinars enable you to join in a virtual event, from your own desk. You need internet access on a PC with speakers or headphone in order to participate. You need to pre-register to attend the event, and will receive an email with the link to the webinar, and your own personal login details. Without this, you will be unable to join in. At the webinar start time, get comfortable with a cup of tea, click on the link, and we then know you’ve joined in. Vickie can see who is participating, and is able to screen comments and questions for the speaker to answer. After the event, paying delegates receive a copy of the webcast, and the presentation is available online. More presenters wanted If you have something to say, or share, please contact Vickie to arrange a slot in the Institute’s event programme. No travelling or cost is involved, apart from the usual time it takes to prepare and deliver a presentation. MANIFESTO FOR SECURITY: SECURITY COMMONWEALTH UPDATE Eighteen security organisations and associations attended the first meeting of a new Security Commonwealth hosted by UBM in London on 4th February. The Security Institute initiated the gathering, which included representatives from the Defence Industry Security Association, the Royal United Services Institute, the British Security Industry Association, ASIS UK Chapter 208, the International Professional Security Association, the Register of Chartered Security Professionals, the Association of Security Consultants, the Association of University Chief Security Officers, the Pharmaceutical Industry Security Forum, the Worshipful Company of Security Professionals, the City of London Crime Prevention Association, the Fire and Security Association, the Womens Security Society, and the Security Awareness Special Interest Group. Security Manifesto Also in attendance was Bill Butler, the CEO of the Security Industry Authority, along with Terri Jones, the Director General of the sector skills body, Skills For Security. The concept of a gathering of security organisations working together for the benefit of the sector is not new, and has certainly been tried in the past. Some will remember the Joint Security Industry Council, and in more recent times, the Security Regulation Alliance which campaigned so successfully in support of the (then) threatened Security Industry Authority. The key to success, all agreed, is maintaining a fair balance, and making sure there is a job to be done. The Manifesto for Professional Security, published by the Security Institute in November last year, provides many challenges and ideas for the group to develop. Their next meeting will start to look at common themes amongst commonwealth members, in order to set priorities and targets for the group. Emma Shaw CSyP led the first meeting’s discussions, which she hopes to be the start of a new era in collaboration in the security sector. “We received an excellent response to the idea of setting up a Security Commonwealth” she said, “ and I am pleased that all of the organisations involved are able to see the benefits of sharing ideas and pooling efforts where it is practical to do so. The profession is currently perceived by some as disjointed and lacking a single authoritative voice that represents the broader security community. The benefits to the sector, businesses and more importantly, the general public, could be significant and I welcome any opportunities where members and leaders of our profession can come together to discuss and share common ideas to develop our profession further. The inaugural meeting was successful and I am delighted there was a very real spirit of cooperation; I hope this forum will grow, and become even more representative.” Any organisation interested in joining the security commonwealth should contact the Security Institute.

Participating in the mentoring scheme will also earn your CPD points. The ethos of the mentoring program is to facilitate the passing on of invaluable knowledge and experience between our members. It has had many success stories since its introduction and has been revised and revamped to align itself with the way in which we work and communicate in modern business. How does it work? Its really simple. We match volunteer mentors (members who want to share their experiences) with mentees (members who would like some one-to-one support). There is no cost, no report writing or close monitoring—all we ask is an initial investment of 8 hours, which can be spread over days, weeks or even months. Our aim is to tailor partnerships to suit both parties whilst maintaining a structure that confirms the aims and a level of commitment to achieve aims. One of the key revisions has been to implement set dates on which mentoring partnerships are made, this should enable us to create a 'pool' of Mentors and Mentees that can be better matched.” If you are interested in the program click here to download the applications forms.

Edition No. 2 : 2015 RETAIL SECURITY GET TOGETHER Andrew Nicholls, Membership Director for the Institute, reports on a recent initiative On Tuesday 24th February 2015, 6 Security Institute members joined together to discuss common concerns involved in Retail Security Management. The event was a new initiative and was aimed at sharing knowledge and developing skills. The two organisations involved were the McDonald’s security team and the Mitchells & Butlers security team. The seminar was attended by 3 Senior Managers from each of the two organisations, all of whom are members of the Institute. Throughout the day the group listened to presentations from each of those present which included the following subjects: conflict management, reducing vulnerability by proactive risk management, security training and how to communicate the security message. Although the seminar was not organised by the Institute the idea was conceived as the result of a meeting and follows the Institutes ethos of sharing information and encouraging CPD. Andrew Nicholls MSyI, who is the Membership Director for the Institute and the Head of Security for Mitchells & Butlers commented, “We all learnt a lot from each other but the most interesting aspect was how we found so much common ground in what we all do every day.” Mark Whittle MSyI, who is a member of the Institutes Validation Board and the UK Security Manager for McDonald’s commented, “Sharing Security and Licensing best practice in confidence with respected colleagues is always a valuable experience. We believe that external benchmarking strengthens our security plan development.” The seminar, which was held under Chatham House Rule was organised with limited cost and simply involved those attending sharing their experiences of being a Retail Security Manager. Emma Shaw CSyP Chairman of the Institute said, “I was delighted to hear about this idea, as it is such a good example of Institute members working together. Collaborative working and best practice development are all key points in the recently launched Institute Manifesto”. It is hoped that this initiative will encourage other members to organise similar events.

MIKE’S CYBER SPACE CCTV hack enabled mega bank heist In a plot worthy of one of the ‘Ocean’s’ film franchise, the bank mega heist is still taking up column inches in both mainstream and cyber security press. The surveillance part of the heist was carried out using a physical security system though, namely the bank and financial institutions’ own CCTV estate. The gang in this case managed many months of intense surveillance and worked out how to replicate and imitate the staff network behaviour and pass unnoticed through the systems for up to two years. The leap from corporate network to physical system networks seems to have been unhindered. Indeed, once the hackers were inside they clearly had a good look round the system architecture to use whatever systems they felt would best expedite their plan. The leap from corporate network into physical security system is a disturbing one and whilst it’s impossible to comment on the security and network arrangements in this instance, it does give pause for thought on how our physical systems are secured and managed. Many corporate networks are not managed by the same security teams that manage security systems and so the maintenance, patching and updating that goes on generally as a matter of course with a corporate network, may not necessarily be happening to other systems. They may not be firewalled or have operating systems updated; in short they may be totally vulnerable to attack and the IT security team who manage other systems may not even have oversight of any of the management that is applied to these physical security systems. We must examine what systems and processes we have in place and see if it they are fit for purpose. We must look at our organisational structure and behaviour and see if it is also protecting our assets or putting them at risk. Bringing all networked systems under the umbrella of the same policy for patching and monitoring makes absolute sense. Obviously, in this case we do not know what the architecture was but it is fairly safe to assume that many organisations will be running systems in isolation and away from security scrutiny. After the news of this attack started to percolate through networks like LinkedIn, Darren Rewston, MD of CCTV monitoring company CheckMySystems commented after he read about this attack, “We have witnessed a number of attacks on CCTV systems and they are becoming more common. Typical attacks I have seen include; taking over a CCTV system to run as a Bitcoin farm, using a CCTV system to store pirated movies and brute force password attacks that lock out the user. These could have been prevented by standard IT security procedures but these can sometimes be bypassed by the CCTV installer, leaving the system vulnerable". So we should be talking about extending IT Health Checks and Penetration testing to all our systems, regardless of who manages them. It might be worth considering if IT security teams should have final sign off on networked security and other systems to ensure proper precautions are being maintained or at the very least encouraging collaboration and cooperation between teams to ensure these departmental cracks can’t be exploited. Containing an attack once it has started can limit the damage caused and stopping this leap into physical systems is an absolutely vital part of that damage limitation. Mike Gillespie Cyber Development Director PEOPLE NEWS OBITUARIES It is with great sadness that we report the deaths of Security Institute members Mark Slater CSyP John Sharvell Mike Welply Many will remember Mike as a former Director of the Security Institute, during its merger with the International Institute of Security. Our thoughts go out to all three families at this very sad time.
