Taking a ‘joined up' approach to factory, plant or utility security can help significantly reduce your risk, explains Bradford H Hegrat, CISSP, CISM, senior principle security consultant, Rockwell Automation

Whether your company is considered part of the UK's ‘critical infrastructure' or not, the consequences of a malicious security breach could reach catastrophic proportions. When investigating the potential repercussions of a successful attack for a cement company we learned a miniscule change to the batch – minor enough in fact for it still to pass two levels of testing - could result in a concrete application that was inherently unusable for its intended application. If this concrete was intended for a large building foundation, for example, the forces involved by the time you reached the fifth floor of construction may be enough to bring the whole lot down.

Fortessa introduced a new 1 way colour video entry kit. The video telephone boasting fantastic image quality, allows the resident to view a caller at the entrance, speak with them and have control of their access. The system does not require a cable between outside panel & indoor monitor.

Suitable for installations where running cables in not an option or perhaps a system designed for the elderly as the monitor is portable, the system meets the requirements for video entry where traditional systems may be uneconomical.

Utilising revolutionary interference free digital wireless technology, maximum distance between panel & monitor is an impressive 200mtrs with full duplex two way speech & timed lock release facility. The monitor is wall or desk mounted.

The new Prestige 360 DT from Texecom is a ceiling mount intruder detector that features both omni-directional quad element PIR and K-band microwave sensing. This gives the detector maximum catch performance and false alarm immunity, even in challenging environments such as partitioned areas, commercial premises and residential housing.

The Prestige 360 DT has a maximum 9.3m diameter detection pattern, which results in over 65m2 of omni-directional coverage under each detector. The product is suitable for mounting up to 3.6m above the ground, and complies with EN50131-2-4 Grade 2 requirements.

Ceiling mount detectors are of particular benefit when protecting areas with ground-based obstructions such as cubicle partitions, shopping aisles and large furniture, or when traditional mounting sites are impractical.

An effective fire system is key to fire risk management and the best way to prove it is fit for purpose is to show, through certification, the equipment is compliant with the relevant standards and has been third-party LPCB (Loss Prevention Certificate Board) certificated.

All Firesafe third-party LPCB approved products are listed within the LPCB (Loss Prevention Certificate Board) Red Book listing which is an essential guide reference used globally by specifiers.

The new Firesafe range of panels are third-party approved to latest versions of EN54-2 and EN54-4 by the Loss Prevention Certificate Board. As a result, the panel is CE compliant with the Construction Products Directive (CPD) and has battery impedance fault monitoring demanded by these standards.

The fire panel range now offers key-switch and keypad facility with an option to use either, or both, dependant on the installer's choice.
