Aligning with the ‘First Principles of Security’
Paul Mason, Founder and Director, Redline Assured Security discusses the methodology for effective threat detection and risk mitigation.
As the threat landscape continues to evolve, security training and provision continues to advance, most notably in the aviation industry, where investment to improve threat identification and risk mitigation, such as the implementation of Computed Tomography (CT) x-ray scanners within mandated frameworks, have resulted in a progressively proactive risk reduction.
Whilst not eliminating all threats to the sector, these mitigation measures have led to threats migrating into new sectors, including public spaces where high population density is commonplace and predictable.
Major events, venues, rail infrastructure or even popular tourist spots are increasingly at risk, evidenced by the rise in attacks on public places over the past ten years and the consistency of attacks on crowded spaces.

G4S leaders discuss critical infrastructure security
"The risks are higher and there’s more complexity, thus requiring a mix of skills and the ability to pull together the right controls, people, processes and technologies to develop an integrated solution.
"In this sector, it is important to set the right conditions for success.
"By its nature, if things go wrong in infrastructure, they go badly wrong. Therefore, customers require the highest quality services partner.
" G4S offers every conceivable security service when it comes to creating the overall deterrence effect. We provide access control, guarding, alarm monitoring, fire suppression and more."

Securing data centres with turnkey solutions
An integrated security ecosystem can boost data centre and organisational security, reports MVP Tech – A Convergint Company.
Modern organisations need a comprehensive, scalable and secure data centre to operate, innovate and achieve goals. Strong security is essential to protect the data centre and, ultimately, the organisation from physical and cyber-threats.
However, isolated, siloed measures are insufficient to deliver the level of security needed to truly safeguard modern day data centres.
The threat landscape for data centres – and organisations – has expanded in recent years, driven by the emergence of new attack vectors, the increasing sophistication of cyber-criminals and the easy availability of new attack weapons.
Project Focus: Dahua cameras enhance safety and security at Tripoli Stadium in Libya
A mix of Hubble Panoramic and PTZ cameras have been installed at Tripoli Stadium in Libya to help it meet modern international standards, reports Dahua Technology Co. LTD .
Built in 1970, it is the largest Olympic stadium in the country and has been renovated and refurbished to meet FIFA’s requirements for stadium safety and security.
With a capacity of 50,000 spectators, the stadium becomes crowded on match days and control of spectators and crowds becomes paramount.
With only a limited number of police, security and stadium staff to rely on, stadium managers needed to have an overview of crowd flows and potential congestion to help ensure safety at these busy times.
