White Papers
The events of 9/11, Katrina, and Columbine bring back vivid memories for all. As these events unfolded, the need for fast and effective emergency responses became obvious. Each of these events, and the untold number of events before and after them, invariably brought up discussions concerning communications interoperability or more precisely, the lack of communications interoperability and its impact on the responses. Without a doubt, there is broad consensus that this issue must be addressed and resolved. Unfortunately, discussions about communications interoperability cover a wide number of different aspects that often lead to confusion and indecision.
This White Paper divides the subject into a number of categories to help create focus. Each category, in turn, is divided into three subject areas – hence the name “24 Triplets in Communications Interoperability”. Click on the title below to download this white paper.
THE NEED FOR ACTIVE NETWORK FORENSICS
Neither small to large enterprises nor government institutions are immune to the threats that pervade today’s security landscape. Leakage of congressional documents, a half million credit card numbers hacked from a leading web host provider, and even a major security vendor falling victim to a website breach are just a few recent headlines that proclaim the costly network threats facing organizations of all types and sizes. Active network forensics makes all past and present network data instantly visible and allows perfect fidelity through replaying past traffic, enabling organizations to detect and understand the full source and scope of any security event so they can protect against further attacks.
In recent years security at America's airports has focused on such things as access control, dangerous cargo, screening, and other measures associated with activities near the airport terminal. Today there's a broader aspect of airport security that's gaining increased recognition, the perimeter around the airfield as well as airport buildings and other assets. Download our White Paper titled, "Airport Perimeter Security" written by Duwayne Anderson Chief Technologist at Fiber SenSys.
This All-Optical fiber protection switch application note provides information on how the switch functions, its features and how it is used to provide fiber redundancy protection for your mission-critical video, audio, data transport applications over fiber. It describes applications for both single channel (including PTZ control) and complex video, audio, data signals over high-density fiber systems.
To effectively protect the cyber security of your agency, you must have insight into the multiple types and levels of evolving threats to secure your network perimeter, critical resources and remote access. By adopting the Consensus Audit Guidelines (CAG) proposed earlier this year, agencies can establish a prioritized baseline for their information security measure and controls.
This Juniper Networks white paper will help you:
- Better understand CAG information and security measures and controls
- Understand how and why the CAG guidelines were developed
- Learn how Juniper’s Adaptive Threat Management Solutions can help you meet CAG requirements -- and reduce total cost of ownership
Secure Trax is a state-of-the-art security administration application utilizing hardened PDA units that is revolutionizing the security industry. Secure Trax, a fully-integrated security solution built upon the latest mobile computing technology, optimizes our clients’ security programs by providing detailed and reliable incident notification in real time. In addition, this technology adds value to other areas of the organization – such as facilities and risk anagement, legal, safety, engineering and building services departments – by capturing and disseminating data that is vital to these functional units and was difficult or impossible to capture in real time in the past. Finally, Secure Trax can lead to cost-savings by replacing multiple pieces of equipment that have historically functioned as separate and disconnected systems.
Almost one million people attempted to enter the United States illegally in 2008. The motives of the 948,000 individuals apprehended at its borders during that 12-month period would have ranged from the benign – those looking for a better life – to the downright criminal, particularly drug dealers and potential terrorists.
Long-range, rapidly deployed surveillance that is also easy to use increases security and responsiveness, even in remote areas. This white paper summarizes the security advantages gained through portable, intelligent video surveillance, explains new advances in detection accuracy, and presents funding options and application guidance to obtain equipment.
In the 21st century, the rapid increase in microprocessor power and efficiency has constantly delivered powerful new products for end users and managers. At the same time, high definition displays have become the standard in most homes, businesses, and government facilities. Until recently, high definition video performed poorly over most LAN and WAN infrastructure.
Today, the combination of H.264 compression technology and faster network infrastructure has decreased the negative impact on bandwidth - Download to read more.
