1 CARDAX FT: EXTENDING THE BOUNDARIES WHO`S WATCHING YOUR BUSINESS AROUND THE CLOCK?

2 IMAGINE A USER-FRIENDLY SYSTEM THAT NOT ONLY INTEGRATES ALL YOUR SECURITY REQUIREMENTS INTO ONE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, BUT INTEGRATES THIS INTO THE OPERATION OF YOUR COMPANY WITH SCOPE FOR FUTURE EXPANSION AND GROWTH. 1am perimeter fence attacked cameras activated alarm generated The Cardax FT system makes use of existing IT networks, and uses the most secure encryption technology available. It can utilise existing company databases, and provides the means for future expansion. At initial conception, Cardax FT was developed with enterprise capabilities achieved through an extremely well designed system architecture, use of professional SQL databases and industry standard network technologies. Designed by some of the world s most capable security engineers, the Cardax FT system is without peer in the field of large scale, high security, integrated systems. CORE SECURITY Cardax FT is not simply a question of combining a number of different products to operate at the same time. The idea is to create one system that assumes the central role, utilising different technologies. Cardax FT is a comprehensive Microsoft Windows based security system that provides high-level security management for global access control, intruder alarms, voice over IP, and alarm management requirements. At the face of the Cardax FT system are its comprehensive range of readers, Intelligent Door Terminals and Remote Arming Terminals. By badging a card at the reader, a multitude of reactions can be programmed to happen. First and foremost the door will unlock provided the person is authorised to enter. Other programmed reactions could include: - your CEO badging his card, and the airconditioning and lights leading to his office turning on; - a factory worker presenting his card, and being logged in at work for the day; - the last person on level three leaving work, and the alarms on the floor being armed. The system also interacts with digital video management systems integrating multiple numbers and types of Digital Video Recorders and voice over IP systems. Any event or breach in security can trigger an associated camera to start recording, immediately sending pre and post event video back to a Cardax FT monitoring workstation. And there is a comprehensive, integrated, audit trail for all activities happening events are linked to video recording, providing a link for visual and auditable records that are relied upon for evidence. Even operators can be closely monitored with the recording of all changes made within the system. All this happens automatically and most amazingly the technology of Cardax FT means the system will continue to function, without relying on the main server for its operation.

3 ACCESS GRANTED. FLOOR SELECTION O INTEGRATION PLATFORM Keeping up with the day to day changes that occur within large organisations can present real challenges for security management. Utilising IT industry protocols, Cardax FT can integrate with most existing information systems, such as student or staff databases, resource scheduling, visitor management, the payroll system, and paging. This means only one point of data entry is needed to maintain employee/student/ contractor records. Imagine, for a university, the impact of using the student registry database to automatically generate access information at enrolment time. Lecture theatres can be unlocked at scheduled class times, with lighting and air-conditioning activated for the duration. Using industry standard OPC, Cardax FT interfaces to Building Management for energy management functionality, based on area occupancy. SCALABILITY The Cardax FT system can grow from just a few monitored doors to thousands on distributed sites accomplished without hardware redundancy or unreasonable costs. This means as a company adds new buildings, employees or even a new tenant, the expansion can easily be incorporated into the existing system even across time zones and international borders. Large systems with distributed sites manage costs by bringing sites on to one centralised system. Using IT infrastructure, remote bases are managed from the central Cardax FT system. Centralised access control and alarm monitoring can significantly reduce telecommunication and monitoring expenses. The head office in New York might have control over who gains access to the Sydney office in Australia. Furthermore, it will not matter if an employee is working in the Tokyo plant or the Dublin office they will be able to use the same Cardax card. The scope and inherent security of Cardax FT has proven the system to be a winner for market leaders in a diverse range of industries. From government to busy shipping ports, telecommunications companies to large scale banking and financial organisations Cardax FT has the ability to meet the security needs of any enterprise. A core system for security management and monitoring, the Cardax FT software provides a single graphical user interface. SECURITY MANAGEMENT 24/7 Cardax FT Online Manager, the web interface into the Cardax FT system, provides the flexibility and convenience of being able to manage your security anywhere, at anytime. Cardax FT Online Manager is a tool which enables you to distribute management and monitoring responsibility of Cardholders and Alarms to people in your organisation such as Line Managers - people 'on the ground', who best know the access requirements of Cardholders. Cardax FT Online Manager allows Operators to fully manage Cardholders and Alarms for their own Division, department, faculty, floor or office - a Lecturer who has been given system Operator privileges, for example, can allocate students access to certain areas and facilities for certain times for the duration of their course. Access can be granted to different areas, at different times, in real-time or in advance of when it is required. With Line Managers facilitating access requests and basic security operations, your Security staff have more time to focus on core security management requirements.

4 Managing Access Access parameters of where and when are defined for Access Groups (i.e. Managers, Night Staff), rather than assigned to individuals, enabling bulk changes. Unique ability to manage almost an unlimited number of access groups across a system to accommodate different combinations of access parameters. Extreme flexibility. Data sharing with other business systems Utilise existing databases and applications. Cardholder data can be imported from external sources, for example an HR database. Very Attractive Readers World class industrial design has been applied to readers, giving them the reputation of the most aesthetically pleasing readers available. Range of technologies Magstripe, TIRIS Series, 125 Series (ability to read Cardax format and simultaneously third party formats such as HID and Motorola), and Mifare Series (for Smart Card solution, and higher data encryption). Incorporating Biometrics Third party Biometrics readers, using techniques such as hand geometry, fingerprint, and iris scan can also be employed with Cardax FT. Monitored Readers Cardax readers are monitored, so operators know they are all functioning. Incorporating Philips Mifare Standard for Smart Cards Multiple applications prepaid metering, cashless vending, library, ID, loyalty schemes.all residing on the single security card. Detecting Intruders Separate intruder alarm systems become superfluous. Core security both allowing access and eliminating intruders is streamlined into one system. Readers can also arm and disarm alarms. If there is a security breach, an immediate report will be sent to your monitoring company reporting exactly where the incident has occurred. Combining Cardax FT with video surveillance Cardax FT integrates with many brands of CCTV / DVR systems to work in conjunction with your core access and alarm system. Cameras can be viewed live at all times, or triggered to start recording in response to an event.

5 ACROSS THE ENTIRE ORGANISATION WHEREVER IN THE WORLD THAT MAY BE Incorporating Cardax FT Challenge Some readers only require card, others card plus PIN. Some doors may require the cardholder to be visually verified by the operator, known as Challenge. Integrating Elevators Card readers can be installed in elevators, providing control and reporting of access to floors. Integrating with Intercom Systems Multiple intercom systems are supported enabling intercom functionality to be integrated into Cardax FT. Efficiently managing Building Resources Integrating access with resource bookings, lighting and airconditioning often creates significant operational and energy efficiencies. Securing premises at the Perimeter PowerFence TM perimeter security can be linked with Cardax FT, reporting any compromises or problems directly to the operator. A breach of the perimeter fence could activate cameras to record the site, as well as link the images to the event record in Cardax FT. Employees could also use their Cardax FT cards to open the perimeter gate or to turn the fence pulse off. Managing Multi- Tenants System division enables individual sites or tenants within a large network to manage the security of the property that is pertinent only to them, without viewing other divisions. The cost of the system can then be shared by tenants, or managed centrally by a property manager. Managing Remote Sites It doesn t matter how many buildings your company has or where they are in the world, they can all be effectively managed on the one system. While each building might have a Cardax FT workstation, it will be linked to the main server allowing one central management system to monitor security right across the entire enterprise. IT compatible network friendly Utilises existing IT networks, and uses minimal bandwidth. Managing visitors and contractors Manage access at short notice or in advance. Control visitor and contractor access as required. Any card can be cancelled in a keystroke you ll never need to change the locks again. Produce a time-on-site report when required to reconcile contractor invoices against work done.

6 6AM ZONE 6 CAMERA ACTIVATED 1AM UTILISES EXISTING TCP/IP NETWORKS MINIMAL BANDWIDTH DATA PROTECTION HIGH ENCRYPTION So why is the level of data encryption important for your company? Use of the organisation s IT infrastructure to communicate with the remote security devices makes it practical to have integrated security right across the organisation. Encryption is very much a standard IT technique to preserve the integrity and confidentiality of the organisation s data. Consequently, the security equipment utilising the network should similarly incorporate robust encryption to keep data secure. Cardax FT has the technology capability to handle the extensive processing to encrypt data to a high standard. The default level of encryption for Cardax FT network communications is 40-bit Secure Socket Layer Encryption, a standard similar to the technology used to secure Internet banking transactions. Encryption for communications from Controllers to peripheral equipment means Cardax FT achieves end to end data security. For very high security situations, where protection is required against a competent technical attack from both internal and external parties, the Cardax FT XtraSec product range is available. Cardax FT XtraSec utilises 168-bit encryption which, according to calculations, is 35 followed by 37 zeros times more difficult to break than 40-bit encryption. The security of all data is critical to the integrity of the security and IT systems, and encryption is vital to prevent system data transmission from being intercepted. IT COMPATIBLE One of the most important questions always asked is How will Cardax FT integrate with the existing infrastructure of the company? Cardax FT is designed to be compatible with IT systems. Cardax FT resides on the existing network, and follows industry standard rules for network connectivity. It uses minimal bandwidth, and will not interrupt normal IT communications. Each access and alarm event is approximately 100 bytes of data. Every 30 seconds each Controller sends out a heart beat, which again is approximately 100 bytes of data. Over all, on a modern TCP/IP network including WANs, this is hardly measurable compared with other normal network traffic. The processing power of Cardax FT is distributed throughout the system s components. Peer-topeer communications between the field Controllers on the network ensure that valid and instantaneous access decisions are made even if communication links or the central Server fail. Cardholders will never know there is a network problem, because the Cardax FT Controllers will still be operational. In large distributed systems, peer-to-peer communications are essential for ensuring reliability for operations such as emergency evacuation, duress and panic alarms. Minimising network delays for time critical communications is required for immediate capture of video data in response to a security related event. Cardax FT also protects and monitors the IT infrastructure in other simple ways. With environment sensors, if the temperature or humidity in the server room gets above a certain level, Cardax FT can send a signal to your IT manager to assess the situation.

7 VISITORS GIVEN ACCESS TO 3RD FLOOR MEETING ROOM ONLY AIR CONDITIONING TURNED ON FOR MEETING 12AM 2PM 3 When you purchase a Cardax FT system you are recommended to invest in a Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA). The SMA programme provides a cost effective means of obtaining future upgrades. MAINTAINING YOUR CARDAX FT SOFTWARE An SMA will help your system keep pace with Microsoft upgrades and regular Cardax FT releases designed to enhance system performance and functionality. There may even be the opportunity to install new Cardax FT features onto your system. We recommend that an SMA becomes the cornerstone of a total site security support plan. There may be up to four software releases a year depending on updates, but we commit to providing at least one release per calendar year. You appoint your Cardax FT dealer to receive the software releases for you and provide the services for the implementation and ongoing support of your SMA.
