Cisco
Mr. Christian Matthews, Director of Product Management for IoT Software, Cisco, told us, "Simply monitoring high-value assets provides a general example. Video surveillance combined with other sensor output such as audio, motion, or building contacts is used to increase protection and monitor assets without constant human supervision. Threats of incidents are detected and the risks mitigated by alerting personnel or automatically initiating preventative actions. When combined with advance video analytics, benefits continue to grow. At the University of San Francisco (USF), IP cameras and the Cisco Video Surveillance Manager deliver facial recognition to detect when unauthorized individuals enter an area and then notify appropriate staff. Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) use Cisco's IoT Physical Security solutions to increase effectiveness of the transit police. With better intelligence, first responders and their associated operations teams have increased productivity substantially. They have done this at scale with a centralized command center managing more than 1700 remotely deployed IP cameras. Recently the system has been extended across busses and emergency response vehicles."

HP Enterprise Services
Mr. Carl Bradley, U.S. Navy (Ret.), Information Assurance & IT Security, Consulting & Intelligence Strategy, HP Enterprise Services, U.S. Public Sector, told us, "There are three key challenges our clients face today. First, cyber threats are ever-changing and becoming more sophisticated by the day. Cyber terrorism and targeted cybercriminal activities are directly impacting both the public and private sectors. They are persistent and yet, based on our research into exploit trends in 2014, attackers continue to leverage well known techniques to compromise systems and networks. Many vulnerabilities exploited in 2014 took advantage of code written many years ago and adversaries continue to leverage classic avenues for attack against client-side and server-side applications. Anti-virus signatures only catch approximately 45 percent of cyber attacks -- a truly abysmal rate. In our review of the 2014 threat landscape, we find that enterprises most successful in securing their environment employ complementary protection technologies. These technologies work best when paired with a mindset that assumes a breach will occur instead of only working to prevent intrusions and compromise from the perimeter. So our clients' security posture must be agile and responsive to better defend against threats -- internal and external -- in addition to vulnerabilities, in order to mitigate their risk."

See the latest Nok Nok Labs White Paper here:
Four Barriers to Adopting Strong Authentication
(https://www.noknok.com/how-we-do-it/white-papers/four-barriers-adopting-strong-authentication)
This whitepaper describes four major barriers to the use of strong authentication: Cost, Usability, Security, and Privacy ("CUSP").
And, see the Nok Nok Labs Video "How It Works" here.
Mr. Ramesh Kesanupalli, Founder of Nok Nok Labs, Founding Member, FIDO Alliance, told us, "Prevailing password authentication has proven to be insecure and risky amidst a world of escalating security threats, cyber crime and targeted attacks, not to mention increasing vulnerability associated with so many more vectors of attack coming through the Internet of Things (IoT). Right now, we are moving from informational access to a major life style change where we can access everything digitally. We're at the threshold of using authentication to pay at retail stores with our phones, to open and start our cars, to manage home networks, appliances, and security systems all through connected devices. Authentication is the FIRST step we must perform to begin to effectively use IoT."

Tyco Integrated Security
Mr. Mark VanDover, President, Tyco Integrated Security, told us, "In the last six months, we've seen security technology changing the way businesses operate across multiple industries. For example, expanded use of RFID-enabled technologies is helping retailers identify and combat operational loss, deepen the customer experience and improve omni-channel operations. Additionally, in heavily regulated industries like food manufacturing and pharmaceuticals, we've seen physical security play a bigger role in ensuring standard compliance. On another level, since entering the small business market last fall, we've seen firsthand how affordable commercial-grade security solutions can make a difference for small business owners' bottom line."

BORDER SECURITY EXPO 2016 CELEBRATES 10TH ANNIVERSARY WITH MOVE TO SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS
Largest border security conference and exhibition heads to San Antonio, TX in 2016
On April 13-14, 2016, the 10th Annual Border Security Expo will open at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, San Antonio, Texas.
Border Security Expo draws attendees from around the world and has become the most highly anticipated conference and exhibition on border security. As in years past, the exhibit hall will feature more than 150 companies showcasing a wide array of cutting-edge border security products, technologies and systems aimed at increasing security while facilitating legitimate trade and travel. In addition to the expansive exhibit hall, attendees benefit from a comprehensive conference program covering the key issues addressing border security, as well as networking, special events, ceremonies, and idea-sharing throughout the two-day event.
"Border Security Expo has proudly served the needs of federal, state, local and international law enforcement, as well as private-industry focused on border security, for the past decade," said Paul Mackler, President & CEO of Eagle Eye Expositions, producers of the annual event. "Given the confluence of federal and state events over the past year on the southwest border, including the newly formed Joint Task Force West, Southern Border Approaches Campaign, headed up by Director Robert Harris, being headquartered in San Antonio, and the sweeping $800 million border security legislation signed into law by Texas Gov. Abbott (House Bill 11), a change of venue to Texas in 2016 is in order to continue to best serve the needs of the border security community."
Border Security Expo's Advisory Board is chaired by Jayson P. Ahern, Principal at The Chertoff Group, and former Acting Commissioner, U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The Advisory Board includes a diverse and distinguished group of leading experts well-versed on all facets of border security.
While the same high caliber speaker roster is expected, event management says there are new dynamics to the conference and exhibition that will make the overall event even more productive for exhibitors and attendees with the move to San Antonio. The full program will be announced in the months to come.

FIDO Authentication Gains Momentum in US and European Financial Services
USAA and ING Bank Join FIDO Alliance Board of Directors
The FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) Alliance (https://www.fidoalliance.org/), an industry consortium launched in 2013 to revolutionize online security with open standards for simpler, stronger authentication, recently announced new leadership from the Financial Services industry will contribute valuable experience and insight to the global initiative poised to supplant the world's reliance on passwords. Today, leading banks in Europe and the U.S., ING Bank and USAA, join Bank of America, Discover, MasterCard, PayPal, and Visa as financial institutions on a diverse 25-member board of directors that is shaping global standards for strong authentication.
Dustin Ingalls, president of the FIDO Alliance said, "As one of seven founding members, PayPal has made it clear from the outset that passwords have proven themselves to be a significant problem for the Financial Services sector and their customers. Today, we welcome two leading financial institutions, ING and USAA, commending their and by extension the financial sector's growing influence in the FIDO Alliance. Together, we can make a security difference for companies around the world."
Though FIDO standards are designed to meet the authentication requirements of every segment and use case, Financial Services may have the most urgent need as their clients demand privacy, security and convenience in all transactions. Pent-up demand in mobile payments markets accelerated the world's first deployment of FIDO authentication when PayPal, Samsung, Synaptics, and Nok Nok Labs collaborated to meet the need. FIDO board members Alibaba and Nok Nok Labs partnered soon after to deliver FIDO authentication for securing mobile payments for 600 million Alipay users. Since then, membership in the FIDO Alliance has grown beyond 200 companies and government agencies, including several financial institutions, such as Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and JP Morgan Chase.
