As the private security industry faces a significant increase in demand with the arrival of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, members of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) are protecting employees from the increased health and safety risks brought about by longer working hours.
Exposing the guilty
One of the most shocking incidents that took place during the riots in London last August was the death of Richard Bowes, a 68 year old pensioner who was allegedly assaulted while trying to put out a fire and subsequently died. In March 2012, Darrell Desuze, a 17 year old from Hounslow pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter, a plea that was prompted by compelling CCTV footage. Other incidents such as the robbery of an injured Malaysian student by two east London men resulted in public outrage and further convictions. This was another case captured on video from a high definition mobile phone.
Security has been at the forefront of the planning for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and will continue to be throughout its duration, to allow for safe and successful Games that visitors as well as residents and businesses operating in affected areas can feel proud to be a part of. Here, David Evans, Project Director for 2012 at the British Security Industry Association (BSIA), looks at what businesses should do to keep disruption to a minimum this summer.
NEW YORK, NY: Varonis Systems Inc., the leading provider of comprehensive data governance software, announced last week the launch of Varonis DatAnywhere, which extends the usability of corporate file sharing infrastructure to enable traditional file servers and NAS devices to behave like cloud-based file synchronization services (e.g. Dropbox, Google drive). Users will have the same collaboration experience that cloud services provide, but organizations will not actually have to move data into the cloud, nor will they need to manage an additional user directory, or manage a different set of permissions. DatAnywhere automatically and securely syncs files from corporate file shares to and from remote employee laptops and devices, authenticates with corporate directory services and gives employees the ability to securely share files with co-workers and external business partners.
