Siemens and Partners Sign Joint Charter on
Cybersecurity At the Munich Security Conference in February 2018, Siemens and eight partners from industry signed the first joint charter for greater cybersecurity. Initiated by Siemens, the Charter of Trust calls for binding rules and standards to build trust in cybersecurity and further advance digitalization.
In addition to Siemens and the Munich Security Conference (MSC), the companies Airbus, Allianz, Daimler Group, IBM, NXP, SGS and Deutsche Telekom are signing the Charter. The initiative is further welcomed by Canadian foreign minister and G7 representative Chrystia Freeland as well as witnessed by Elżbieta Bieńkowska, the EU Commissioner for Internal Market, Industry,
Stanley Security Reduces Anti-Social Behaviour at
Residential Blocks STANLEY Security, a UK-based security provider, has installed new CCTV and intercom systems at a number of residential blocks for property management company Griffin Grays. The result has been a reduction in anti-social behaviour and a more efficient way of working.
Griffin Grays is a family led estate and property management company based in Grays, Essex. The latest addition to its range of services, Griffin Block Management is a managing agent service specifically for residential blocks in the Thurrock area.
To provide customers with a professional, effective and value for money service, Griffin Grays was keen to investigate latest cost- effective security options, including an alternate supplier to its intercom systems.
Pam Honeywell, Property Manager for Griffin Grays, explained: “The intercoms we had on most sites were installed with long term contracts

“Confidence that the security of data and networked systems is guaranteed is a key element of the digital transformation,” said Siemens President and CEO Joe Kaeser. “That’s why we have to make the digital world more secure and more trustworthy. It’s high time we acted – not just individually but jointly with strong partners who are leaders in their markets. We hope more partners will join us to further strengthen our initiative.”
The Charter delineates 10 action areas in cybersecurity where governments and businesses must both become active. It calls for responsibility for cybersecurity to be assumed at the highest levels of government and business, with the introduction of a dedicated ministry in governments and a chief information
security officer at companies.
It also calls for companies to establish mandatory, independent third-party certification for critical infrastructure and solutions – above all, where dangerous situations can arise, such as with autonomous vehicles or the robots of tomorrow, which will interact directly with humans during production processes.
In the future, security and data protection functions are to be preconfigured as a part of technologies, and cybersecurity regulations are to be incorporated into free trade agreements. The Charter’s signatories also call for greater efforts to foster an understanding of cybersecurity through training and continuing education as well as international initiatives.

STANLEY Security has installed new audio intercom systems, featuring modern vandal proof panels on entrances and new handsets in apartments. It worked closely with Griffin Grays to gain access to apartments with minimal inconvenience or disruption to residents.
In addition to replacing the intercoms, STANLEY Security has also helped Griffin Grays tackle fly tipping. It has installed small IP networked CCTV systems in these properties, consisting of four external cameras and some internal where required. These are recorded to on site hard drives, although discussions are afoot to move to remote monitoring.
that did not include any maintenance, so as well as paying for the rental of the intercom system we had to pay separately for repairs. This system had been the same since the buildings were built, so the blocks were effectively paying a large fee for a very old system.”
The CCTV has had an immediate positive impact: Pam said: “To date the fly tipping has reduced as the cameras are highly visible. In addition to this, when residents are dumping items, we are able to evidence this and charge them direct for removal, therefore reducing the overall costs of refuse removal.”
