Video 1: Working with Tony Porter to raise standards in the security industry
Here Mike Gillespie explains the work he has been doing on the advisory panel established by the Surveillance Camera Commissioner Tony Porter. He stresses the need to be aware of the cyber threat to video surveillance cameras and explains the key standards being implemented, including GDPR and the NIS directive.
Overall, the panel is placing education at the forefront of the project to ensure the standards are widely adopted to counteract the cyber threat.
Here Mike explains that the supply chain is broken and that there needs to be better knowledge transfer between manufacturers, installers and end users to ensure all parts of the supply chain are better educated on keeping systems secure.
He provides examples of recent cases of cyber attacks on CCTV systems and reveals how easy it is for cyber attackers to download software to target vulnerable systems and automate attacks.

Mike will tackle all of the above issues in his talks in the Future of Security theatre across the three days of IFSEC.
Here he explains that the real emphasis of his presentation is on helping manufacturers, installers and end users to embrace the new standards and raise the bar to prevent attackers, criminals and terrorists from destroying infrastructures.
