On October 14, 2010   /   Security Events   /   Leave a comment

Providing like minded professionals, genuinely interested in improving lone worker safety with specific and up-to-date information, which will go far beyond theory alone, is the key objective of next years LONE WORKER SAFETY 2011 Conference & Exhibition.

Robert Kaiser, Organiser and CEO of PPSS Group said: “The 2010 event exceeded our expectation and was a great success.  We are certainly very proud and happy with the overwhelming feedback, received via feedback forms, emails and telephone calls”.
 
“We have now started working on next year’s event, which will take place on Tuesday, 10th May 2011 at the great Olympia Conference Centre in London”.
 
Some of the leading, most passionate and respected experts in lone worker safety will deliver talks, covering tried and tested, factual based and straight forward guidelines, systems and recommendations.

Robert Kaiser continues: “Realistically we are aiming to grow by up to 50% in comparison to this year’s conference and exhibition.”

“We are very proud to announce that we have with Connexion2 secured a highly regarded headline sponsor. It’s also a great pleasure to announce that ‘Health & Safety at Work’ have agreed to be our Media Partner.”

Craig Swallow, CEO of Connexion2 said: “Connexion2 is pleased once again to be associated with this event. Last year was very well organised with some extremely valuable content provided by a number of quality speakers. If you are interested in lone worker safety this event is a must.”

Robert Kaiser added: “For me personally it was the key objective to partner up with headline sponsors and a media partner who I felt genuinely care about the personal safety of those working alone and are widely respected in this industry. I believe we have done exactly this.”

“Our conference and exhibition is entirely dedicated to the personal safety of those workers who serve, care and risk their lives on a daily basis, and with our conference and exhibition we will do our upmost to create a platform for professionals sharing our passion for personal safety, to exchange information, recommendations and codes of practice”.

LONE WORKER SAFETY 2011 Conference & Exhibition has been structured to focus on lone workers themselves, managers, team leaders and senior members of staff who work within organisations where lone working takes place e.g. public sector enforcement, housing, social and health care, nursing, utilities field representatives and public transport.

Robert Kaiser concluded by saying: “We are welcoming everyone who shares our great passion for lone worker safety”.

Europe targeted as tenth anniversary of 9/11 looms?

On October 11, 2010   /   Security Events, Security News   /   Leave a comment

Intelligence Services are fearful that Islamist terrorists may be plotting a series of coordinated attacks against key targets in Europe.

Coming against a backdrop of increased military activity against suspected militant training camps in the Afghanistan/Pakistan border regions, the emergence of intelligence pointing to groups directly linked to al Qaeda having an aspirational goal to strike at western targets on home soil, as well as increased sensitivity generally as the tenth anniversary of the September 11 terrorist strikes looms on the near horizon, the fears have certainly focused minds.

They first emerged through reports in the US press late last month and speak of possible attacks at high profile locations. Such is the level of concern that numerous countries have now issued travel alerts and other warnings to their citizens travelling in the region.

Whether these fears are founded on more than just the general chit chat often overheard by the intelligence community remains to be seen.

The available information appears to show a plot in the very earliest stages of discussion, but which has not yet transitioned to an attack planning phase. However, raids and some arrests suggest much more depth, as evidenced by the seriousness with which those governments that have issued warnings have heeded the news.

The question as to whether Europe is now seen as the soft-target battleground for militants, will likely drive conference debate at the forthcoming Counter Terror Expo, being held at London Olympia, 19-20 April, 2011.

This unique event brings the world’s leading thinkers from government, military, law enforcement and academia together annually to debate strategies, brainstorm issues, shape policy and define effective counter-measures to the threat from international terrorism.

EU Counter-Terrorism Coordinator Gilles de Kerchove, has already called for better sharing of information to stop potentially dangerous travellers.

“What is worrying us the most is extremists entering Europe, people who were born here or who have one of our member states’ passports, who can therefore slip under the police and intelligence radar,” he told the euronews television channel.

He said that while Europe has agreements in place for tracking financial transactions it really must have a similar system in place to collect information on passenger movements.

“It raises some questions about privacy that the European Parliament is very concerned about. But I consider that with this new threat we need new tools,” de Kerchove added.

Notwithstanding the privacy enshrined in European Law, effective intelligence gathering and the sharing of that intelligence will inevitably feature extensively in the forthcoming Counter Terror Expo event, as this region comes to terms with the fact that it is not immune to the fallout from military campaigns elsewhere.

InfoSecurity Russia 2010: Monitoring and Protecting Data Centres – High Volume Traffic and Use of 10GE – Tasks and Challenges

On October 6, 2010   /   Security Events   /   Leave a comment

Derek Jackman – VP of Gigamon Systems LLC – delivers speech “Monitoring and Protecting Data Centres. High Volume Traffic and Use of 10GE – Tasks and Challenges” on 18 November at InfoSecurity Russia. StorageExpo. Documation’2010. Register Here.

Derek Jackman will tell the representatives of telecoms operators, state and private companies about the challenges of using tools for protection and monitoring while using 10GE channels from anywhere.

He will answer the following questions:

1. How can the operation of tools for protection and monitoring, failing to process high volume traffic, be improved?
2. How to reduce the “competition” for access to mirror ports?
3. How can a flexible infrastructure of data access, able to adapt to changing conditions and arising challenges, be created?

“The tasks of protecting infrastructure and key applications, the need of monitoring SLA-parameters and the quality of work of critical systems require real time access to data. Various departments within a diversified company – information security, monitoring, compliance and other – often compete for access to communications channels, – says Derek Jackman. – Traditional solutions of mirroring traffic are much restricted; they create additional load on critical system elements that may affect the quality of services and data accessibility. High volume traffic in networks within big companies and telecom providers cause a situation when existing tools for monitoring and protection fail to process big information flows, which is the reason of decreased efficiency.”

InfoSecurity Russia 2010: How Modern Infrastructure Solutions Can Change Life of Organizations

On October 4, 2010   /   IT security, Security Events   /   Leave a comment

Vitali Fridland – Fujitsu Technology Solutions CEO – to deliver speech “Living in the Clouds… Flying in dreams or in reality… or How Modern Infrastructure Solutions Can Change Life of Organizations” on IT Director’s Day, 17 November, at the main stage of InfoSecurity Russia. StorageExpo. Documation’2010. IT directors and top managers are welcome to the speech at 12:30.

Сloud Computing – a concept suggesting a new supplement, consumption, and delivery model for IT services based on the Internet – becomes more popular among users, software and malware providers. Those supporting the concept are sure that information technologies will be developing towards clouds; today every IT director or CEO can think of at least one example to prove that using cloud computing is better than traditional computing. Clouds allow traditional information technologies to transform into something new; if traditional market players do not start acting now, other companies may gain the most part of the IT market.

The report by Vitali Fridland answers the questions – whether this statement is true and how cloud computing can transform the life of CEOs, especially those involved in minimizing IT expenses.

“Clouds develop by leaps and bounds transforming capital expenditure into operating costs as we pay only for what we use and when we use. Thus, the efficiency increases substantially, – says Vitali Fridland.”

VII International Exhibition “InfoSecurity Russia. StorageExpo. Documation’2010” to be held on 17 – 19 November 2010 in Moscow Sokolniki Expo and Cultural Centre, Hall 4.

4. Disaster tolerance and cloud computing

5. Data throughput and other best technical solutions (data throughput, platform independence)

6. Failover

7. Effect of implementation and management of changes in the system

8. Disaster tolerance and virtualization

9. Software vs. hardware
