AMAG Technology

"Most Casi Rusco Picture Perfect Access Control Systems were installed in the 1990s and have reached legacy status opening the door to potential security risks. AMAG Technology's Symmetry™ is futureproof and the world's most widely installed Access Control System. Symmetry is recognized for its ease of use and comprehensive feature set. AMAG has developed a new Symmetry Door Controller solution which allows plug-and-play swap outs to Symmetry for users of Picture Perfect, Secure Perfect™ and Facility Commander Wnx (FCWnx). Some of the largest Picture Perfect users around the world are already moving to Symmetry. This White Paper explains the thinking behind the solution and provides further information."

AWARE

Mr. David Benini, VP of Marketing, Aware, told us, "Certisign is the largest certificate authority in Latin America, and is now introducing biometrics-as-services in Brazil through its new subsidiary, Certibio. Identity fraud prevention services are in high demand in Brazil and very synergistic with Certisign's current business. The new services aim to help Certibio customers reduce identity fraud by enabling them to use biometrics to thoroughly verify an applicant's identity information and ensure the integrity of their identity data. Biometrics collected in this process can then be used in the future to quickly verify the identities of individuals enrolled in the system. A wide variety of services and privileges can be better protected, including digital certificate issuance, healthcare, driver's licenses, telecom services, bank accounts, government services, and even registration of new companies. Aware has provided Certisign with the identity platform and much of the biometrics software used to build the sizable infrastructure needed to support thousands of endpoints, millions of users, and many millions of daily transactions."

EMC

Mr. Ken Mills, Global Surveillance Strategy & Business Development, EMC, told us, "To address the changing surveillance data needs of organizations all over the world, EMC has built and continues to develop, validate, and document a robust portfolio of surveillance solutions built on a data lake architecture and offering an open platform, best-of-breed EMC Federation storage technologies, and an extensive partner ecosystem. Disparate data sources feed into a scalable surveillance storage layer comprising distributed, centralized, and cloud architectures, and are enhanced by over 21 tested and validated partner solutions built to simplify surveillance. Storage is the foundation layer of the data lake architecture. It must support an open platform capable of managing disparate data sets (from multiple devices) while addressing the challenge of scale head-on. There are three major surveillance architectures, and organizations must determine which is best suited to their size, requirements, and business objectives."

HP Enterprise Services

Mr. Carl Bradley, U.S. Navy (Ret.), Information Assurance & IT Security, Consulting & Intelligence Strategy, HP Enterprise Services, U.S. Public Sector, told us, "There are three key challenges our clients face today. First, cyber threats are ever-changing and becoming more sophisticated by the day. Cyber terrorism and targeted cybercriminal activities are directly impacting both the public and private sectors. They are persistent and yet, based on our research into exploit trends in 2014, attackers continue to leverage well known techniques to compromise systems and networks. Many vulnerabilities exploited in 2014 took advantage of code written many years ago and adversaries continue to leverage classic avenues for attack against client-side and server-side applications. Anti-virus signatures only catch approximately 45 percent of cyber attacks -- a truly abysmal rate. In our review of the 2014 threat landscape, we find that enterprises most successful in securing their environment employ complementary protection technologies. These technologies work best when paired with a mindset that assumes a breach will occur instead of only working to prevent intrusions and compromise from the perimeter. So our clients' security posture must be agile and responsive to better defend against threats -- internal and external -- in addition to vulnerabilities, in order to mitigate their risk."

ImageWare Systems, Inc.

ImageWare Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: IWSY) (ImageWare), a leader in mobile and cloud-based, multi-modal biometric identity management solutions, has issued financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015, as well as a corporate update to highlight the company's progress since its last quarterly update on May 11, 2015.

Operational Highlights

• Awarded patents by the Canadian Intellectual Property Office and Patent Office of Australia for technology used in ImageWare's multi-modal Biometric Engine® product.
• Signed agreement with OnlineAuction.com to provide ImageWare's patented GoVerifyID® mobile biometric security software to 200,000 online auction members, beginning August 2015.
• Signed a three year licensing agreement with Lockheed Martin under which ImageWare will integrate its patented Biometric Engine into the Lockheed Martin cloud-based multimodal biometric IDHaystack® Identity as a Service Platform.

Management Commentary
"ImageWare's strategy to target large IT service providers and deliver security for their cloud and mobile customers remains on track," said Jim Miller, ImageWare's chairman and CEO. "Ultimately our model is dependent upon our partners, and we have formed very significant relationships with Fujitsu, TransUnion, CA Technologies, IBM, Deutsche Telekom, Agility, Extenua, and more recently, with Lockheed Martin and Online Auction. All of these partners have now moved from the testing to integration phase and some are even moving to the launch of aggressive marketing campaigns.

"These companies see and live in the same world as we do -- a world that saw 50% of all organizations experience some form of data breach in the last 12 months, with two-thirds of those breaches involving the compromise of pins and passwords. So we have the right products in the right place at precisely the right time. We believe that we are now at the start of large consumer adoption and that our technology will be front and center as that rollout commences."

Identiv

Identiv Releases Connected IOT Premises Access Control Solution With Its Global Partners

Identiv, Inc. (INVE) announced the launch of the Identiv Connected Physical Access Manager (ICPAM) solution. ICPAM is a distributed intelligent premises access control solution, providing state-of-the-art secure access to facilities using standards-based networking, and is backwards compatible for legacy wiring topologies and devices.

ICPAM software is tightly integrated with industry-leading Cisco technology, including routers, switches, Cisco Video Surveillance Manager, and Cisco IP Telephony. ICPAM has a low cost of ownership and provides all the functionality of comparable proprietary systems while offering superior security and deployment options by using standard network topology. ICPAM becomes part of an organization's intelligent information network, allowing monitoring and information exchange between devices as an intelligent platform that grows as an organization requires it.

The ICPAM solution includes a Power over Ethernet (POE)-enabled local door controller, state-of-the-art multi-frequency door reader and sensor, and management software. ICPAM is an overall premises monitoring, intrusion, remote VoIP guard, and access solution suitable for organizations of all sizes with single or multiple locations and geographies. The ICPAM solution is available immediately through Cisco Authorized Technology Provider (ATP) Partners.

"ICPAM finally bridges the gap for our customers to unify and manage both physical and logical access control solutions," said Ted Alben, Dimension Data Practice Manager, IoT. "Since all of the components are integrated with Cisco's world class security portfolio, ICPAM provides a win-win model, and all from a single vendor."

"IoE is the future and it's happening now," said‎ Stephen Lurie, Zones Vice President IoT Solutions. "IP-connected devices, unified security operations, and sharing -- that's where access management is headed. With ICPAM, we can help fulfill our customers' evolving needs."

"With ICPAM, we get the security we expect and the Cisco integration we need," said‎ David Pelkey, Presidio Director, Business Development. "As buildings become more intelligent, ICPAM provides a crossover to industry open standards that leverages network infrastructure with the lowest cost of ownership."

"Premises solutions are evolving from proprietary bespoke systems to becoming part of an interconnected environmental ecosystem. ICPAM is an access management solution that provides a platform that connects and collects information from an array of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors," said Jason Hart, Identiv President.

Route1

Route1 Inc. (TSX VENTURE: ROI), a leading provider of secure access technologies for the mobile workspace that protects businesses and government agencies and whose customers include the U.S. Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Energy and the Government of Canada, provided an update on market drivers, its operations and business development activity.

Tony Busseri, Route1's CEO, said, "Q3 was a very successful quarter for Route1. We achieved a record number of subscribers, subscriber based revenue and average revenue per subscriber. We are continuing to increase our customer and user count among government agencies. Our success with some of the most security conscious organizations in the world is the ultimate seal of approval for our MobiKEY technology and is serving to attract customers in the broader corporate marketplace who are recognizing the business necessity of secure mobile access on demand."

Brian Brunetti, Route1 President, said, "We are seeing greater recognition of the importance of fully securing authentication for all enterprise users, especially as it pertains to mobile devices. According to a recent study from Intel Security, internal corporate employees account for 43% of data loss, and the majority of these breach incidents are accidental, stemming from improper access protocols. Additionally, Trend Micro recently found that 41% of all breaches are the result of lost or stolen mobile devices. Failing to secure sensitive data in a mobile environment can lead to serious legal consequences for enterprises, as evidenced by a U.S. District Court's recent green light on a class action lawsuit brought against Coca-Cola as a result of lost company laptops resulting in a breach of sensitive employee information. These and countless other incidents are forcing business leaders to realize that data security is not only a technology issue, but also a boardroom issue of the highest importance."
