U.S. To See High
Growth In IP Surveillance
Analysis from Frost & Sullivan on the North American
IP Video Surveillance Storage Market reveals that the market earned
revenues of $1.26 billion in 2006 and estimates increases to $2.95
billion by 2013.
The advantages of digital technology in analyzing and providing
real-time feedback will likely fuel the IP video surveillance storage
systems market. In addition to growing security concerns, the
possibility of integration with the IT infrastructure provides the
necessary business case for security managers to shift from analog to IP
surveillance.

Canadian
Ferries Considering Tougher Security
A recent bomb threat at British Columbia's Ferry will
mean extra closed-circuit cameras and more secure fences, but may not
involve some other security measures.
The ferry corporation moves an average of 60,000 people a day and is
waiting for Transport Canada to determine whether the country's domestic
ferry services should face tougher security regulations.
That could lead to X-ray baggage screening or systematic vehicle
searches, however a spokeswoman for the provincial ferry corporation
warned such changes would cause significant delays.

The Downside
Of Bringing Technology To Work
American Airlines employees may be disappointed when
they bring their slick new iPhones to work. The Apple device didn't make
the cut of the airline's recently updated list of mobile devices allowed
to sync with the company's IT systems, reports Business Week.
"We'll only let certain things connect to our network," says American
Airlines Chief Information Officer Monte Ford. His main concern is
ensuring outside electronics don't undermine the company's data
security.
That preoccupation is widespread in the business world. IT departments
at companies ranging from Qwest Communications International, to Bank of
America and even to the McGraw-Hill Companies aren't supporting the
iPhone.

New System
Identifies Handwriting
Whether its perfect penmanship or chicken-scratch,
handwriting could provide an effective form of online security.
With a new authentication program called Dynahand, users are not
required to remember passwords or invest in costly biometric devices,
such as a fingerprint scanner. They just need to be able to recognize
their own handwriting.
"I know it's my handwriting, but I don't know how I know. I can't
explain to somebody else how I do it," says Karen Renaud, a computer
scientist and lecturer at Glasgow University in the U.K.
