Texas Alarm
Associations To Cooperate With Dallas Officials
The Dallas City Council repealed its "verified
response" burglar alarm policy, meaning police officers has again
respond to all commercial alarm calls.
"Dallas business leaders expressed their concern about the policy and
their elected leaders responded. The repeal of the verified response
policy by the Dallas City Council is the beginning of another chapter in
the alarm industry's long-term effort to reduce false alarms and enhance
public safety," says Chris Russell, president of the North Texas Alarm
Association (NTAA). "Some may view this as a reason to relax, but we
need to continue to work from all directions to significantly reduce the
number of false alarms to the extent that verified response will not
even be considered again."

Billion Dollar
Growth Projected For Alarm Systems Market
Despite a two percent fall, from $17.8 billion in 2005
to $17.5 billion in 2006, the market for alarm systems, services, and
installations is expected to reach $19.6 billion by 2011, according to
U.S. Market for Alarm Systems, Services and Installations, a new report
from market research publisher Specialists in Business Information
(SBI).
Following significantly reduced equipment shipments and system
installations in 2006 and changing market conditions in both the
residential and commercial markets in 2007, SBI projects that growth
will return to the market in 2008. Expected annual increases range
between one and four percent, with growth expected as advanced
technologies, integrated systems, cross- channel innovation, and general
end-user awareness and interest in security, which is no longer limited
to fire and intrusion, converge.

Weakest
Security Link = People?
People remain the weakest security link for financial
companies, according to consultancy firm Deloitte.
The compromising of customers' systems continues to be the major cause
of security breaches in financial institutions, according to the 2007
Global Financial Services Security Survey.
Business partners and third parties also represent a cause of computer
security breaches, one example given being the loss of up to 48 million
credit and debit card details from a well-known discount retailer.
