New perimeter security resource

Global factors, including increased threats of terrorism, higher insurance premiums, increasing international travel, technological innovation, and increased infrastructure spending, are fuelling the increase, with global spending predicted to exceed $4.5 billion in 2010.

FFT, which undertook the research to provide security consultants, managers and specialists with invaluable insight into perimeter protection, has released the information in a document called Boundaries of Security - Global Trends in Perimeter Security.

The document is a valuable resource for security consultants and industry professionals.

It describes a wide range of perimeter intrusion detection technologies and explains their fundamental operating principles, typical applications, and the strengths and vulnerabilities of each.

Detailing security industry trends and case studies, along with best practice recommendations and discussions for infrastructure and high-value asset protection, it also includes white papers from FFT's Chief Technology Officer, Dr Jim Katsifolis.

Boundaries of Security, valued at US$300, is available for free to qualified individuals until the end of April 2010, and can be ordered at www.fftsecurity.com
