Not all physical security entrances are created equal. In fact, their capabilities vary greatly, and therefore, impact an organization’s overall anti-tailgating strategy differently in terms of capital outlay, manpower needed, annual operating costs, ROI, and user education and preparation. We’ve identified four security entrance capability levels based on each product’s working principle. You can think of a capability level as a goal: Does your client want to detect tailgating or prevent it from happening altogether? Download our whitepaper so that you can truly consult your clients on the best entrance for their unique security goals.

The Charter of the National Security Agency limits its powerful surveillance to the rest of the world, not U.S. citizens. But one controversial carve-out in NSA rules has for years allowed it to vacuum up communications that aren’t “to” or “from” a foreign target, but merely “about” one—no matter who sends or receives it. Now the NSA says it will end that practice. And in doing so, it concedes a significant win to the privacy advocates who have fought it for years.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is considering appointing a senior official to oversee counterterrorism efforts, a move aimed at meeting one of President Donald Trump’s demands that the alliance focus more on terror threats.
The proposal is similar to NATO’s recent decision to create a top intelligence post, a move that Trump has repeatedly praised.

Cybersecurity and privacy continue to make headlines. Experts have more questions than answers addressing risk management concerns in the evolving cybersecurity market. On March 7, 2017, the CIA got doxed by the anti-secrecy organization WikiLeaks. Nearly 9,000 documents appeared online showing the CIA sought to observe conversations, online browsing habits and other activities by infiltrating the systems that contained them, such as Apple and Android smartphones, laptops, TVs and even cars. The government is not alone.

More than half (51 percent) of the data breaches analyzed in the report involved malware, 73 percent of the breaches were financially motivated, and 75 percent of security incidents were tracked back to outside actors.

On a refreshingly sunny day in mid-April, government officials and data experts gathered at a newly renovated conference room at the University of Pittsburgh to discuss the city’s next catastrophic disaster.
The agenda that day addressed the potential for a dense yellow smog cloud to roll into Pittsburgh, as it did in in 1948 in Donora, a small mill town 24 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.

Cybersecurity is an ever-evolving game of cat and mouse between hackers and security professionals tasked with the responsibility of protecting information held in public and private networks alike. While there are a plethora of both well-established and startup companies that are churning out more advanced security products by the day as part of an effort to neutralize cyber criminals and the treasure trove of resources at their disposal, very few people stop to gauge what professional hackers themselves truly feel are the best security measures to have in place or which safeguards pose the most problems for them.
