Boon Edam Inc. to Demonstrate StereoVision Anti-Piggybacking Technology At ISC West

Mar 29, 2011

Boon Edam Inc. will demonstrate a new anti-piggybacking technology at ISC West. The new system will be installed in the Tourlock revolving security door on display in booth #10034 to allow live demonstrations of the sensors and their ability to stop piggybacking attempts into buildings.

The system merges two types of sensing technologies – optical and near-infrared light – to monitor the compartment of a revolving security door or portal. The two technologies work together to determine displacement and distance by measuring the time it takes light to travel from the instrument to an object and back. The new system can accurately tell the difference between two people and one person holding a box or luggage to minimize false rejections. The near-infrared light sensor is not affected by sunlight or reflections, which eliminates any environmental impairment of the system at locations near the exterior of buildings.

Evolving Cybersecurity Strategies: Uniting Human Risk Management and Security Awareness Training

Organizations are increasingly turning their attention to human-focused security approaches, as two out of three (68%) cybersecurity incidents involve people. Threat actors are shifting from targeting networks and systems to hacking humans via social engineering methods, living off human errors as their most prevalent attack vector. Whether manipulated or not, human cyber behavior is leveraged to gain backdoor access into systems. This mainly results from a lack of employee training and awareness about evolving attack techniques employed by malign actors. Read Now
