To provide these services it operates two data centres; Nagoja, which takes up an area of approximately 1,200 square metres, and Kokura, which has recently been expanded with a new data hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:13px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"689\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hanwhavision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-4-2000x689.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1462708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hanwhavision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-4-2000x689.png 2000w, https:\/\/www.hanwhavision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-4-600x207.png 600w, https:\/\/www.hanwhavision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-4-1200x413.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.hanwhavision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-4-768x265.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hanwhavision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-4-1536x529.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hanwhavision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-4-2048x705.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cyber-resilient, AI-powered cameras<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"hwFont\">Hanwha Vision<\/span> cameras replaced existing CCTV infrastructure in Kokura, which had been installed in 2013 and required an upgrade to provide a more seamless, consistent experience for operators. The new data hall, along with Nagoja, uses <span class=\"hwFont\">Hanwha Vision<\/span> devices including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hanwhavision.com\/en\/products\/camera\/network\/fisheye\/xnf-8010rv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">XNF-8010RV<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hanwhavision.com\/en\/products\/camera\/network\/bullet\/xno-8080r\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">XNO-8080R<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hanwhavision.com\/en\/products\/camera\/network\/bullet\/xno-c9083r\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">XNO-C9083R<\/a> cameras, which come with AI video analytics. The choice of <span class=\"hwFont\">Hanwha Vision<\/span> was based on successful implementation of its cameras in past Seznam data centres, along with its proven cybersecurity credentials, AI analytics, and the ability to integrate with current infrastructure and be rolled-out in phases.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Covering a wide, high-risk area<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With two data halls in each data centre location comprising 200 racks, operators need to maintain vigilance over a wide, potentially busy area that contains sensitive data that demands robust protection. To do so, 121 cameras were installed at Nagoja and 84 in Kokura, where a central control room is situated to manage the entire estate. The cameras support perimeter protection for greater security.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The power of video AI analytics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the potential financial and reputational costs of a data breach, it\u2019s essential that Seznam\u2019s data centres are fully protected at all times. This means using cyber-resilient video cameras that reduce the risk of a breach as far as possible. Likewise, operational continuity is crucial, so operators need to be able to respond swiftly to any emergencies such as potential fire or flooding. AI analytics in the systems are employed to reduce false alarms, allowing operators to respond to only those events that require their attention, and reducing fatigue from false alarms caused by wildlife, tree branches moving in the wind, and other events that do not merit action, but cause distraction. Flickering lights from servers in data centres can also trigger false alarms \u2013 something that AI cameras can reduce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The XNF-8010RV features loitering detection, people counting and queue management to support access control into the data centres. It also has audio detection and sound classification to alert operators to shouting, screaming, glass breaking, and more. Similarly, the XNO-C9083R features accurate object detection and classification to reduce false alarms, along with effective forensic search to help operators find relevant footage for investigations. Operators can monitor inside the data centres plus outside the buildings \u2014 to monitor people as they enter and exit the area, and ensure that no unauthorised individuals enter restricted areas.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ensuring no cybersecurity vulnerabilities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Data centres can be attractive targets for malicious actors, so reducing potential vulnerabilities in their CCTV infrastructure is vital. <span class=\"hwFont\">Hanwha Vision<\/span> devices come with several cybersecurity trustmarks that highlight the company\u2019s ongoing commitment to securing its cameras and data. This includes National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) compliance, which means <span class=\"hwFont\">Hanwha Vision<\/span> meets an extremely high level of security and due diligence put in place for US federal agencies. <span class=\"hwFont\">Hanwha Vision<\/span> is one of the few manufacturers in the video industry that has achieved the UL Cybersecurity Assurance Program (UL CAP) certification for its products. <span class=\"hwFont\">Hanwha Vision<\/span>\u2019s information security system has also been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hanwhavision.com\/ar\/news-center\/1419633\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ISO 27001 certified<\/a>, while the company has already&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/hanwhavision.eu\/hanwha-vision-is-ready-to-meet-cra-and-nis-2-cybersecurity-regulations\/\">announced its preparedness<\/a>&nbsp;for the forthcoming Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and Network and Information Security Directive 2nd Edition (NIS2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To combat evolving threats, <span class=\"hwFont\">Hanwha Vision<\/span> has also invested in a unique security response team. The S-CERT team (Security Vulnerability Response Centre) continuously monitors for new threats and vulnerabilities, giving customers peace of mind that their CCTV system is as protected as possible. Finally, as a CVE\u00ae Numbering Authority (CNA), <span class=\"hwFont\">Hanwha Vision<\/span> is authorised to identify, define, and catalogue publicly reported cybersecurity vulnerabilities for the benefit of users, partners and the wider information technology and cybersecurity communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Seznam, the resilience of its data centres is not negotiable, as the services it provides across Czechia depend on it. <span class=\"hwFont\">Hanwha Vision<\/span> is proud to be playing its part in keeping Czechia online.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seznam, also known as Seznam.cz, is one of the largest internet portals and search engines in Czechia.
