Firm Says
Access Control Goes 'Beyond Biometrics'
An airport security program under way at BWI Thurgood
Marshall International Airport "has put a new emphasis on the need for
greater use in airports of stronger identity verification technology,"
according to Paul Onorato, president of the Coalition of Airline Pilots

Securing
Mobile Devices Still A Question For Businesses
Worldwide
Managing the new generation of mobile devices, from
connected laptops to smart phones, is the new challenge faced by IT
departments. Today’s devices not only have the capability to access
corporate networks, but can also store large amounts of potentially
sensitive data.
According to new research from Vodafone UK, many UK businesses appear
unsure as to how to secure mobile devices effectively – with nearly a
quarter of all businesses having experienced security issues as a result
of employees using laptops or mobile e-mail devices outside of working
hours and in contravention of company security policies.

Sony. Megapixel cameras that aren’t afraid of the dark.
Some megapixel cameras are remarkably scared of the dark. Because their
high resolution comes at the cost of poor low light performance. To
compensate, some rely on slow shutter speeds—which produce severe
motion blur. Sony did better, carefully balancing megapixel resolution
with the super sensitivity of our ExwavePRO and Light Funneling.
Discover Sony megapixel cameras. Because crime never sleeps.
