What Are V-Care Security Solutions?

* A discussion of which new specialized safety and security technologies you would recommend and supporting rationale for your recommendations

The physical protection of information, personnel, software, buildings and other material resources are the first thing that should be assessed when looking into security, obviously there are unavoidable disasters such as natural disasters, man-made disasters and loss of electricity, air or water but most issues are preventable, by monitoring who has access to what and how much access they have, by locking rooms and PC’s, using person specific swipe cards, bolting computers to desks, having effective CCTV in place, and by having effective monitoring tools an IT team can keep a close eye on valuable data and prevent risks. Electronic security systems are designed to protect against unwanted personnel and they provide free roaming for wanted personnel. An electronic security system is a series of biometric locks, or a single biometric lock. A biometric lock is a system that can provide control of entry (or exit) within a designated area by the use of an electronic locking facility. The most common biometric lock is a pin pad system which is a keypad that requires the exact combinations of keys to open the lock, the keys are generally numbers but can be emphasised as letters, shapes, or sounds. Secondly and commonly are swipe cards which are encoded cards which hold information on the user, there is normally a swipe slot to enter a facility that have chosen to

Imagine someone living in a country that turns surveillance equipment on its own citizens to monitor their locations, behavior, and phone calls. Probably no one is willing to live in such place where privacy is being undermined by the authorities. For people living in the U.S., their private information has been more vulnerable than ever before because the government is able to use various kinds of surveillance equipment and technology to monitor and analyze their activities, conversations, and behaviors without their permission, in the name of homeland security. Mass surveillance has jeopardized people’s privacy and deprived individuals of their freedom, which is associated with dignity, trust, and autonomy. In the

The recent tragic events in Tunisia and all too regular mass shootings in the United States provide a stark reminder that we live in an increasingly volatile world. A world where at those times when one should feel most safe and secure, it's all too easy to be suddenly amidst a dangerous and life threatening series of events.

Every year the United States faces new and different threats and hazards, which can be difficult to identify. The 2014 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, which was released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), laid out what they believe will drive risks to the nation over the next several years. The report pinpointed six calculated challenges- terrorist threats; cyber threats; biological concerns; nuclear terrorism; transnational criminal organizations, and natural hazards- which DHS feels are the most likely to occur (DHS, 2014, pg. 28). In this paper I will discuss each threat in more detail and which of these threats pose the ultimate risks to local communities, and how the communities can utilize their resources to prevent or mitigate these risks.

Safety and security is important and a high priority for anyone. As a result of several events, such as the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the now infamous Christmas day “Underwear Bomber” transportation security has been revamped and reinvented to protect innocent people from religious/political extremists and crazies alike. In some cases, measures of heightened security have been praised such as the hiring of more security guards or the addition of more metal detectors to airport security in particular. In other cases, controversy and outrage have erupted worldwide like in the case

Today, many people argue that they need more security to feel safe. Some security experts, and agencies have taken the initiative to create systems that allow these people to feel more secure. These systems vary between regular monitoring cameras to gait analysis systems. The question is, do these systems actually contribute to security, or do they deliver false promises? This topic has been discussed by two authors, Wendy Kaminer, and a group called The Economist. Kaminer is a Lawyer, who also worked for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). In her article “Trading Liberties for Illusions” she expresses her disappointment in the measures people go to, because of their fear and paranoia, in able to get more security which as she

Vacations are a must for people in their lifetime full of long dreadful hours of working, education, business meetings, and basic living. The need for a nice vacation establishes a luxurious living when traveling far and beyond a person can imagine. From cruise lines, planes, and trains any mobile access to traveling for a nice desirable vacation is easier to gain. Unfortunately, behind the extravagance of traveling, privacy is retained from those who experience traveling on vacation. Privacy is the confidentiality of information. Only the person who owns it can decide to distribute that information. In Dillon W. Thomas and Thomas S. Daphyne article, “Airport Body Scanning: Will the American Public Finally Accept”, the prospects that “privacy”

We live in a world today, in which technology moves at a very rapid pace. Many of these technological advances can be used to make our everyday lives easier and safer. One of these new technologies is Biometrics. Biometrics is the process of measuring a person’s physical properties. This would include measuring things like fingerprints, retinas, odor, vein structure on the back of the hand and many other things. Biometrics is a very important topic because it would create better security precautions for certain places that need to be secure. Biometrics will make our society safer by only allowing authorized people out of secure facilities and by keeping the unauthorized people out. Throughout the rest of this

Metal detectors are too costly and are a waste of money. We need to take in consideration the personnel that will have to be hired to manage the metal detectors. Will the personnel be paid at minimum wage? What will be the wage they start? Is it a part-time or full time job? How many personnel will be hired? How long will a metal detector last without maintenance being issued and if it requires it how many times in a period of time. So many questions will be going through students minds. As I am one of those students. Students wouldn’t want to receive the surprise that tuition has increased due to these metal detectors being expense by our tuition. A big expense for a college with appropriate equipment and personnel would cost millions. When in reality they money can be used for scholarships or new buildings around the

Although the United States has been involved in the Global War on Terrorism for nearly 15 years, it is nowhere close to being over; however, it has changed our society in many ways. Our daily lives have changed, whether we are travelling on holiday, talking about budget increases, or just looking at someone and stereotyping them. While we’ve all adjusted to these changes, we can’t ignore the fact that they are there, or the reason why they took

There are several different kinds of threats that we should consider and do our best to avoid. A few examples that are on the rise are:

With the technological advances that America possesses, an extremely safe nation is feasible. Biometric devices are one example of how our defense could be strengthened massively. For example, before anyone arrives on any form of transportation in the United States, they should be made to check in with a biometric device in order to confirm that they are legitimate citizens. A biometric device recognizes features that are impossible to disguise such as fingerprints or the retina located in a person’s eye. The use of biometric devices would easily identify a person and allow the security at airports to absolutely determine who is boarding the aircraft. This would also eliminate all non-legitimate foreigners boarding vessels and aircraft without question (Sims 32-37).

It is no secret that the United States has enemies on every corner of the Earth. Most Americans generally think of Terrorism when they think about the enemies of America, but is that our greatest threat? Could our greatest threats be non-physical beings? Something most Americans don’t think about as an enemy is the threat of cyberwarfare. Terrorism is a threat to every United States citizen, but it is not the greatest threat that exists. Cyberwarfare, potential pandemics, and America itself are the greatest threats to the US.

Human security is a very broad concept of security and has been developed in order to challenge
