Travel Company
Says Security Is a Business Traveler's Chief
Concern
Expedia Corporate Travel surveyed more than 1,000
U.S.-based business travelers to better understand their security
concerns while on the road. Survey results indicate that 87 percent of
business travelers rank safety and security "somewhat" or "extremely
important" when traveling on business. In addition to safeguards like
not carrying valuables and utilizing amenities including hotel safes
while on business trips, the survey shows that business travelers are
taking extra precautions prior to departure such as monitoring weather
conditions, major world events and the U.S. State Department's travel
warnings list.
"It's clear that safety is top-of-mind among business travelers, and as
a travel management company, it's important that we understand their
concerns and the actions they are taking to stay safe on the road," says
Rob Greyber, senior vice president of North America for Expedia
Corporate Travel. "Whether it's researching major world events prior to
departure or simply placing valuables in the hotel safe, business
travelers are taking proactive measures to increase their feeling of
security while traveling."

Video
Surveillance Market Poised For Explosive Growth

is poised for explosive growth, which the firm forecasts to expand from
revenue of about $13.5 billion in 2006 to $46 billion in 2013. Those

Honeywell
Study: Organizations Moving To Convergence
Honeywell has released survey results that reveal how
some organizations are integrating physical security measures such as
video surveillance and access control with traditional IT security
systems. According to “Enterprise Threat Management and Security
Convergence: A Benchmarking Study,” significant barriers still exist
that prevent organizations from converging their systems and many of
these organizations remain conflicted on how to best attain optimal
results.
More than 50 chief information officers, chief security officers and
chief information and security officers of U.S.-based global companies
with revenues from $1 billion to more than $100 billion participated in
the survey.

Report Shows
IT Security Improving, But Misaligned
Many organizations are doing a better job of creating
and managing their IT security programs, but survey results highlight
continued disconnect between security shops and the line-of-business
teams they support -- according to a new research report published by
PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PWC).
Based on the results of the 5th annual Global State of Information
Security report, most of the 7,200 organizations surveyed for the
research showed signs of improving their overall security standing.
If one major problem was exposed by the report, however, it was that
security departments often fail to communicate sufficiently with the
business people they interact with, researchers said, according to
InfoWorld.
