| Diplomatic Wrangles Stifle Attempts to Tackle Cybercrime |
June 29th, 2010
Political leaders continue to hold conferences and sign treaties as the need to tackle cybercrime at an international level rapidly increases, but ultimately these attempts at agreement fail due to national interests and diplomatic concerns, according to Simon Heron, internet security analyst at managed security company Network Box.
In The state of international co-operation on cybercrime, Heron highlights the need for cybercrime to be tackled at an international level. Political attempts at a response to the problem have so far been flawed due to reasons ranging from domestic populations concerns over privacy and justice, to a fear of incompatibility with national cyber security initiatives that are already underway. No nation wants to give up more power to international bodies, and yet no one nation can fight cybercrime in isolation.

| Big Issues Top the Agenda at Major London Transport Security Expo & Conference |
June 19th, 2010
Aviation, maritime and supply chain security professionals from around the world will gather in London in September for Transport Security Expo and Conference 2010.
The annual event is being held this time around against the backdrop of abject failure on the part of the aviation sector to prevent Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab from attempting to blow himself up on a Detroit bound jetliner, a continued inability on the part of the maritime sector to minimise high profile incidence of piracy on the high seas and a considerable disconnect emerging between the United States and Europe over delivery of a more robust supply chain security model.
Clearly, professionals from within each of the industry sectors have much to talk about during the two-days of this leading event.
