China Reveals
Security Strategy For 2008 Olympic Games
The Security Industry Association (SIA) has released
its China Olympic Security Update, a comprehensive analysis of China's
investment in security products and services for the 2008 Olympic Games
in Beijing. Created in collaboration with SINOTRUST, SIA's Olympic
Update examines the myriad security challenges and the technologies
being deployed to safeguard both Beijing and the many Olympic venues.
"This report underscores that the Olympic Games not only showcase
world-class athletes, they showcase world-class security technologies
and services from our industry," says Richard Chace, SIA executive
director and CEO. "People across the globe will be wondering how one of
the world's premier events will deal with security threats and issues.
SIA's China Olympic Security Update goes a long way toward answering
those questions."

Day-Care
Centers Look To Security
Biometrics is being used in at least two Broward
County day-care centers, reports the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
"Parents love it," says Renee Johnson, district manager of Tutor Time
Child Care, which uses the biometric system in its centers in Pembroke
Pines and Plantation, Fla. "The parents say, 'This is technology beyond
belief.' When we get phone call inquiries or give tours, the biggest
question parents ask, 'Is my child safe?'"
Security is a growing concern at day-care centers, which confront issues
ranging from custody disputes to the threat of child abductions and
terrorism. Today, many day-care centers monitor or restrict access to
their buildings by using digital keypads or swipe cards, door buzzers
and surveillance cameras, features rarely seen a decade ago.

Bank Employs New
Security Tactics
Once inside First Mutual Bank's main branch in
Bellevue, Wash., people might wonder where the windows are.
Tellers work behind stands, or "pods," like cashiers at a store. They're
at the back of a brightly lit lobby, which features a comfortable
seating area and an employee who greets anyone entering to cash or
deposit a check.
Typically stuffy bank interiors are moving over for more
customer-friendly, retail-style designs that banks are increasingly
adopting to draw new business.
But while banks say it seems to work, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer
reports that the FBI likes the concept for another reason: The average
bank robber avoids friendly service.

Smart
Technology In The Office Opens Back Doors
Information is routed in huge amounts through
networked printers, copiers and scanners every day, moving hard-copy
data into information technology systems and putting digital data onto
paper. And although most federal agencies have been working hard to
secure their systems, little thought has been put into securing these
devices, according to Government Computer News.
The potential problem of smart peripherals has developed gradually, as
stand-alone scanners, faxes and copiers have been integrated into online
printers. Not only are these peripherals privy to sensitive information,
they often have their own IP addresses and can be vulnerable to network
attacks.
