What’s Inside?

In this New Year issue we look at phone tapping and the things every security professional should know in order to protect themselves and their clients from the threat of espionage. Elsewhere, we hear how the worlds longest running armed conflict could be coming to an end in Colombia, but what are the consequences. Issue 26 also has articles on: surveillance operations in hostile environments, resilience building exercises for your mind and are you a critic or expert? We get qualified advice on conducting a patient handover, how we should dress for operational success and how we can develop our presentation skills. All this much, much more.

Colombia– A Chance for Peace?

BOGOTÁ – The world’s longest-running armed conflict could soon be coming to an end.

Product Review – Ear Hero

Designed by an audiologist, earHero’s speakers are so tiny they will never block your ear canal giving you the ability to literally talk on a separate phone without removing the earHero tactical earpiece from either ear.

You can literally hear whisper level sounds from yards away, while identifying the sounds’ precise location. The earHero tactical headsets have wires so thin and clear, they are virtually undetectable, and the design is so comfortable, you’ll barely know the earpiece is there.

Introduction to Cybersecurity Part 4

Insecure Smart Houses

They are only of limited relevance today, but as the technologies involved become more widespread and implemented into every facet of life they will only become more prevalent. While it sounds like the stuff of science fiction, these threats exist now and are not going to go away.

For simplicity, we’ll say that a ‘smart’ device is anything which connects to the internet (or a network) and is not intended to be a computer interface. Intended is the key word there, as many of these devices are insecure for the simple reason that they are a computer. The problem is that it is now cheaper and easier to put a general purpose computer into a device and run some software to, for example, turn lights on and off than it is to design a single-purpose lightbulb which also connects to a network.

Behavioral Analysis

Turning Habitual Habits into a Positive

Being an instructor for Tony Scotti’s Vehicle Dynamics Institute has forwarded the opportunity to observe how a large section of professionals interact and function from different niches of the industry. Military, transnational EP teams, US based teams, Federal LEO’s or with civilians this theme shows through. Even in the larger training arena the change can be seen as more of the schools are starting to focus on classes or blocks of instruction such as client management and behavioral analysis. The discussion forms are flooded with conversations relating to how to work in a team dynamic. It doesn’t matter if its a 28 day school or a three day school, they will be touching on and teaching these topics.
