New and Critical Requirements for INFOSEC: Protecting Electronic Assets via Architectural Shielding
For diligent organizations to operate successfully in today’s environment, they must identify their critical assets, related vulnerabilities and threats; and then mitigate the associated risk. As all IT professionals know THE critical asset is electronic information the organization possesses. Four critical and fast growing threats to these electronic assets exist, including threats that usually fall in the “gap” between the IT and Physical Security groups, i.e., eavesdropping, exploiting “secured” WLANs, EMI and EMP.

Current firewall, software based, and other security technologies are NOT adequate in protecting the assets from these threats. These threats place critical and “new” requirements squarely upon IT Security professionals in areas not traditionally considered “IT centric”. This presentation will identify the threats; demonstrate both the critical role that the building structures itself and its glass fenestrations have; and the “how/why it works” explanation with respect to mitigating the threats. Some of this information has been known within Intelligence Communities of the US Government and because of the massive deployments of Wireless Person Communications Services (PCS) is only recently coming into the consciousness of the broader US Government and private sectors. This is approximately a 60 minute presentation.

New Safety Requirements for Glazing Systems: Mitigating the Threats to Electronic Assets and More
For diligent organizations to operate successfully in today’s environment, they must identify their critical assets, related vulnerabilities and threats; and then mitigate the associated risk. More times than not, THE critical assets are both its people and the electronic information they process. Four critical and fast growing threats to these electronic assets exist, including threats that usually fall in the “gap” between the IT and Physical Security groups. This presentation will demonstrate both the critical role that the glass fenestrations have; the “how/why it works” explanation with respect to mitigating the threats and current industry updates.
