Qylur Intelligent Systems Adds Homeland Security Expert to Advisory Board

PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwired - Dec 23, 2015) - Qylur Intelligent Systems, an intelligent systems company based in Silicon Valley, today announced that Dr. Erroll Southers, managing director of counter-terrorism and infrastructure protection from TAL Global, will be joining Qylur's advisory board. Southers is an internationally recognized expert on counter-terrorism, homeland security, aviation terrorism, school safety, and infrastructure protection. His extensive experience in this space is extremely valuable to Qylur, maker of the Qylatron™ Entry Experience Solution, an automated, self-service entry system that combines fan greeting, ticket-taking, and bag security screening for sites ranging from sports and entertainment venues to airports.

"I am honored to join the Advisory Board of Qylur Intelligent Systems, one of the most innovative technology companies in the world addressing entry security," says Southers. "We are dealing with an adaptive adversary. This field needs fresh perspectives, new approaches, and the latest capabilities that technology has to offer. I look forward to working closely with the Qylur leadership team to help protect public venues in today's challenging environment."

"We are excited to have Dr. Southers join our Advisory Board, especially given his support for our vision and roadmap to transform the entry experience as we know it," says Dr. Lisa Dolev, CEO and founder of Qylur Intelligent Systems. "Southers' commitment to contribute his deep expertise in infrastructure and public venue security to Qylur and its ecosystem will further our mission to deliver optimal security, while ensuring the best user experience and preserving human dignity."

Expertise comes at ideal time for growing company
Southers' decision to join the board comes at an exciting inflection point for Qylur, which has already earned a reputation for innovation and is now on the cusp of ground-breaking deployments in the US and Europe. Qylur saw its first commercial deployment of a Qylatron system at the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ games in Brazil. The Qylatron is currently also deployed at a major European amusement park and at Levi's® Stadium, recognized as the most high-tech stadium in the world.

Dr. Southers was President Obama's first nominee for Assistant Secretary of the TSA and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's Deputy Director for Critical Infrastructure in the Office of Homeland Security. He is the Director of Homegrown Violent Extremism Studies, Director of International Programs, Adjunct Professor of Homeland Security and Public Policy and counter-terrorism subject matter expert at the University of Southern California (USC). In his 31 years of working in this field, Southers has held public safety positions at every level of the government, including chief executive of law enforcement/security agencies, Special Agent at the Federal Bureau of Investigations, university faculty, and subject matter expert for the full Congressional Committee on Homeland Security.

At TAL Global, Dr. Southers works with clients on issues including counter-terrorism, transportation security, aviation terrorism, terrorism resilience and business continuity, and international regulation compliance.
