Jyske Bank

In 2004, Jyske Bank, as one of the first Danish banking groups, chose to protect money and other valuables in the bank branches with security fog. And it has worked so well that they replaced all the fog cannons with new, more powerful and service-friendly models.    

In Jyske Bank’s branches, the fog cannons have reduced the number of break-ins. So when the bank’s security experts have found something that works, they don’t experiment with it.  

Jyske Bank had their first fog cannons from PROTECT™ installed in 2004. The fog cannons worked flawlessly 14 years later, but due to technical development, the newer models are faster and could discharge a larger amount of fog. And then they have been given more IP features, so that they can be controlled and serviced, for example, from a control centre, so that most service visits are avoided. That is why Jyske Bank chose to upgrade all its branches.  

The choice fell on a newer model that can be controlled from mobile devices, so that the amount of fog can be adjusted to the premises. With PROTECT’s IntelliCloud™ from a smartphone or a PC, you can remotely monitor each individual fog cannon and be notified if a fog cannon needs a technician visit.         

New security needs  

“When we chose to secure with fog cannons in 2004, we had just chosen a new design style in all our branches. It had to be elegant, relaxed and cozy in the bank premises, which were therefore furnished with designer furniture and various IT equipment – and at the same time became an even more interesting target for burglars,” said the security officer, who together with a security consultant were responsible for all physical security of Jyske Bank, while another and larger department in Jyske Bank concentrates on IT security.   

The bank branches are once again traditional office landscapes, where the furniture is not so fancy, while the IT equipment in the workplaces is limited to a screen, a keyboard and a cable to the central server.   

“Today, we have strategic security of inventory and valuables instead of plastering it all over with security equipment. Because even though the branches are cashless, we still have money in the cash machines – the ATMs, as they are also called – as well as our own boxes and the customers’ personal safes to secure,” elaborated the security officer. He does not believe that cash will disappear in favor of payment cards, because they will be needed in connection with wars and crises such as natural disasters and major IT crashes.
