The newsletter discusses central monitoring stations that provide alarm monitoring and security services for large offices, industries, and residential customers. These central monitoring stations take over activities like alarm monitoring, response, auditing systems, and equipment upgrades from organizations' internal security teams. This allows security teams to focus on other priorities while still providing a high level of protection through reliable, cost-effective third-party monitoring. The lead article will discuss establishing central monitoring stations.
This newsletter discusses security budgeting and information security practices in Indian industries. A 2005 survey revealed that 38% of companies do not have an information security policy and experts estimate that nearly 80% of small businesses fail within 3 years often due to poor management and security. The costs of security breaches have increased as companies must now publicly disclose breaches, and regulations require best practices. Adequate funding for data security measures is now recognized as a business cost that forward-thinking management must consider.

This document discusses how mobility can benefit businesses. It states that simply providing mobile devices to employees is no longer sufficient, and that businesses need to realize concrete value from new mobile platforms and applications. IT departments are under pressure to support enterprise mobility without compromising security or infrastructure. The pervasiveness of email, internet, mobile phones and wireless connections continue to reshape how we work, as organizations are geographically distributed and people can work from almost anywhere at any time. Mobility allows for greater business value, better customer service, and competitiveness.

The document discusses a theft at the University of California, Berkeley where a laptop containing personal information on 98,000 people was stolen from an administration building. While university policy mandates encrypting personal data, the files on the stolen laptop had not yet been encrypted. The university is attempting to notify those affected and authorities do not believe the data has been misused yet. The incident raises questions about storing sensitive data on portable devices.
The document discusses lessons that can be learned from the 2010 Manila hostage crisis in the Philippines. It provides three key lessons: 1) authorities should have standard procedures for managing media coverage during security incidents to avoid interfering with operations and endangering lives; 2) police should assign crowd control units to prevent interference and ensure bystander safety; 3) individuals should avoid trusting strangers, especially armed ones, for their own safety. The document advocates learning from tragic events to help prevent future incidents and promote peace.
A massive computer worm called Stuxnet targeted Iran's nuclear facilities and spread globally. Stuxnet code samples have raised concerns it could be used to target other countries' critical infrastructure systems. The sophisticated Stuxnet code has reportedly been offered for sale on underground forums, potentially enabling cyber terrorists to adapt it for disruptive purposes. A major global cyber espionage operation dubbed "Operation Shady RAT" targeted over 70 organizations for years and is believed to have been masterminded by China to steal military, economic and diplomatic secrets.
This newsletter discusses preparing for and responding to terrorist attacks. It recommends developing an emergency communication plan, designating a safe space in your home, establishing meeting places, and assembling disaster supply kits. It also suggests checking your children's school emergency plans and knowing your roles and responsibilities if an attack occurs, such as giving first aid, directing traffic, or donating blood. The newsletter emphasizes remaining calm, listening to emergency instructions, and understanding that hostile surveillance is often used by terrorists to gather target information.

The document discusses the use of intelligent technology to improve CCTV surveillance systems. It notes that current CCTV systems have limited monitoring capabilities as it is not possible to have someone constantly watching all camera feeds. Intelligent technology can help by performing automated analysis to detect events and alert operators. This allows operators to focus on more important tasks. The technology also enables detection of events even when camera views are not being actively monitored. While such intelligent technology has potential, implementation challenges remain around avoiding "cry wolf" scenarios from false alarms and not overloading operators with too many alerts.
The document discusses different types of security including:
1) Traditional state security focused on protecting borders from external threats.
2) Industrial security which encompasses infrastructure, access control, and employee security.
3) Human security which focuses on individual freedoms from fear, want, and ensuring basic needs and rights are met.
4) Security has evolved beyond state actors to include threats from non-state actors like terrorists. Ensuring security requires considering different stakeholders and perspectives.
The document discusses several trends in physical security systems moving from analog to IP-based networks:
1) More surveillance cameras, access controls, and sensors are connecting to IP networks which allows for features like priority tagging, automatic device discovery, and network access control.
2) HD video and video analytics software are improving surveillance capabilities like facial recognition while reducing bandwidth needs.

It ested that adequate lloading an unloadin facilities be provid for cas

have agre to prov
