Texas School
Security Survey Finds Key Issues
Wren, a provider of video surveillance solutions, has
released the results of its Texas School Security Survey. The survey
found that while administrators consider video to be the single most
important tool in securing school environments, budgets for investing in
newer security technologies are tight, with only about a quarter of
schools expecting a security budget increase in 2008.
Distributed online to administrators from public K-12 schools across
Texas, the survey asked participants to rank their most significant
security issues and their level of preparedness in dealing with those
issues. Results indicated that, while Texas schools are moving to
address security in their schools, they are not yet adequately prepared
to deal with the many types of threats they face in today's world.

Drawings
Latest Attempt At Improving Password Protection
An inventive way of improving password security for
handheld devices such as iPhones, Blackberry and Smartphone has been
developed at Newcastle University, reports ScienceDaily.
The software, which uses pictures instead of letters and numbers, has
been initially designed for handheld devices, but could soon be expanded
to other areas.
Those who took part in testing this system created passwords that were a
thousand times more secure than ordinary textual passwords. Most testers
also found them easy to remember.
