ISSUE 52 – SUMMER 2014 CITY®


City Security – The magazine that promotes security issues nationwide


Tackling Cyber Crime and Embracing Innovation in Technology


ollowing the recent attack on eBay and the NCA reporting that cyber-enabled crime is costing the UK £292 million annually, the focus for the summer edition is cyber


security. To complement this, we focus on technical innovation and continue our theme of career development and professionalisation in the world of security.


To introduce the cyber theme, Adrian Leppard, Commissioner City of the London Police, explores the change in business culture needed to achieve cyber security. Andy Archibald, Deputy Director of the National Cyber Crime Unit (NCCU) at the National Crime Agency (NCA), provides some key insights into the approach that UK law enforcement is taking in response to cyber crime and the resulting implications for business. Geoff White, from Channel 4 News, discusses how cyber security is presented on TV and how this can contribute to a safer online future. As wearable technology develops, we include an article on the security implications of these devices.


Looking at technology more broadly, Andreas Sparrenblad, Chief Technology Officer at Securitas, discusses how the security industry has embraced modern technology in a way that enhances workers, rather than replacing them. Putting the spotlight on the Criminal Justice System, Paul Whittaker takes us through how the digitalisation of court processes means they are taking a once in a generation opportunity to transform the CJS. We examine how scanning technology can be used for identifying fraudulent ID documentation. And in a fascinating article, Dr Noémie Bouhana from UCL, examines current approaches to countering radicalisation on line.


Continuing our focus on the professionalisation of the security practitioner, an article from Gemma Quirke, newly appointed MD of Wilson James Security Services, discusses the perception of gender within the industry. Emma Shaw of the Security Institute continues the debate on how professionalisation of the industry is developing


In April, the City of London Crime Prevention Association hosted a celebration for the 10-year anniversary of Project Griffin and published a commemorative booklet outlining its path to success. Copies are available at www.cityoflondoncpa.org.uk


A date for your diary: September 30, when the inaugural UK Joint Security Associations’ annual funding raising event will be held in London. To secure a place, go to www.eventbrite.co.uk.
