Now that the prices for GPS technology have dropped so significantly, companies are devising more and more ways to use this tracking technology — including such tasks as asset management, cargo security, even school bus speed and safety tracking. SecurityInfoWatch.com’s editor catches up with Scott McDonald, CEO of Monument Security, to learn how Monument Security is using GPS technology to find operational efficiencies for its uniformed and patrol guards, as well as for plainclothes loss prevention officers.

Plus…news about industry acquisitions (Global ePoint buys Tops Digital Security; RISCO Group buys Keyware), a new verified response policy that’s coming for Madison, Wisc., plus how San Francisco’s airport plans to screen all of its passenger cargo for explosives.

SIW Radio Episode 2: Preparing for FIPS 201 Implementation

With a looming deadline which requires government agencies to begin FIPS 201 card implementations by Oct. 31, 2006, there is a great deal of concern whether 1) the technology will be ready in time and 2) whether security chiefs at government agencies will have the funding and staff resources to implement FIPS 201 card projects on time.

To discuss those challenges, SecurityInfoWatch.com editor Geoff Kohl caught up with Paul Brisgone by phone live from SecTec ‘06, a semi-private homeland security expo held in Washington, D.C., for invited government and agency officials. Brisgone serves as the director for ADT’s Federal Systems Division, and has been working with federal agencies on their security projects for 20 years.
