ISC West 2023: How Computer Vision Increases Security and Improves Facility Operations

How the Port of Vancouver Used Computer Vision to Boost Efficiency

Enter real-time computer vision, a technology that adds machine learning processes to live and recorded video to produce metadata. The Port of Vancouver, using mainly its existing infrastructure of Axis security cameras plus AWS Panorama technology to perform the processing, was able use computer vision to add key metadata on containers in real time as they entered and moved through port facilities.

“It had been a very manual process in terms of how all this was being recorded and reported,” Trinh explained. Computer vision adds real-time metadata to the captured images, including each container’s identification number and its color, which often indicates what types of goods are inside the container.

The technology is helping the port develop a new class of insights on physical operations that will improve collaboration with shippers.

After applying computer vision, the Port of Vancouver was able to optimize its ground operations and expedite container inspections. According to Deloitte, which worked on the project at the port, “a bot predicts and sends alerts about berth allocation, container sequencing, and containers ready to return,” which allows port space to be used more efficiently and reduces the amount of time containers are held up.

Increased Efficiency With Computer Vision Cuts Expenses

The application of computer vision is also reducing costs by reducing inefficient and manual container examination processes. “Anything from missing paperwork and intensive exams can delay shipments from a few days to a month,” Deloitte notes. “Some require additional labor for unloading and reloading cargo. They interrupt traffic flow and ground operations and increase storage and labor costs.”

Trinh said the project in Vancouver is a good example of the kind of machine learning-enabled computer vision that will become more common as organizations take advantage of the real-time insights they can glean, both for security and operational purposes, from metadata extraction.

Google improves Android security with DNS-over-HTTP/3 update

/in


What you need to know

  • Google implements a new DNS feature, DNS-over-HTTP/3.
  • The new features aim to cut down issues with DNS-over-TLS has, such as longer latency and a slower reconnection when it comes to changing networks.
  • The new DoH3 is Google’s attempt at providing better privacy for DNS queries on Android devices.

Google has implemented a new security update for Android devices. The new update comes via the addition of  DNS-over-HTTPS/3.

Google is looking to “help keeps Android users’ DNS queries private” with this security addition. Its Android Team is looking at this new DNS-over-HTTP/3 as a good security step forward, seeing as it has “a number of improvements over DNS-over-TLS” already in play.

SecurityGen ACE platform improves security posture for the mobile operators

/in


SecurityGen launched a new ACE (Artificial Cybersecurity Expert) breach and attack simulation platform.

SecurityGen ACE

ACE provides an automated approach to assess and improve the security posture of mobile operators by continuously testing the strength of their network defences against simulated attacks and techniques.

ACE works by identifying and reporting potential gaps and vulnerabilities within the operator’s network. It then carries out simulations of real-world attacks on these vulnerabilities to assess their seriousness and the potential damage that an actual attack could cause.

Finally, ACE generates a detailed security posture report that includes remediation guidance to help the operator address the vulnerabilities and prevent future security breaches before they happen.

Commenting on the launch, SecurityGen co-founder and CEO Amit Nath said, “Operators today are asking for fast, efficient and cost-effective inspections and assessments of the security of their networks. But current manual assessment techniques are expensive, resource-intensive and need specialist expertise. Operators are unable to conduct them as regularly and frequently as they should do.

“As a result, mobile networks are left extremely vulnerable to security threats, which if not detected, can cause widespread damage and disruption – everything from network outages and denial of service attacks targeting groups of subscribers or particular areas: to the theft of sensitive personal data for fraudulent purposes. The new ACE platform addresses this pressing operational need for operators.”

The ACE platform is the centrepiece of SecurityGen’s range of products and services. It draws on the vast knowledge and experience of SecurityGen’s core team who have between them conducted a combined total of more than 300 telecom network security assessments during their careers.

Importantly, its in-built AI module enables it to constantly learn and enhance its performance by incorporating actual, real-life scenarios and attack vectors that have been identified in the field.

The ACE platform is cloud based, which means operators don’t need to install it directly, or even reconfigure their network. ACE…
