Signals Defenses, Chris Simkins & the former Justice Department counterespionage lawyer, said that it is “more difficult than it sounds” to address threats posed by rogue insiders.
      

“At the end of day, there’s no way to stop an insider if the insider is intent on doing something wrong,” he said. “It’s all about mitigating.”

ICD 705 - For Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities

 

SCIF Window Criteria

 

1. Every effort should be made to minimize or eliminate windows in the SCIF,

especially on the ground floor

• Facilities that have first floor windows:  SD window technolgy comes in 3 forms; surface applied film for existing windows; glass and polycarbonate for new construction.  SD has an additional layer of security for the deployments of wireless technologies; protection against Thermal Imaging and Night vision devices; physcial security, specifically glass fragmentation control.

2. Windows shall be non-opening.

3. Windows shall be protected by security alarms in accordance with Chapter 7 when

they are within 18 feet of the ground or an accessible platform.

4. Windows shall provide visual and acoustic protection.

• SD offers products & services that give you visual privacy and sound testing (STI, NIC, RASTI)

5. Windows shall be treated to provide RF protection when recommended by the CTTA.

• Signals Defenses (SD) provides: Patented Radio Frequency (RF)/ Infrared (IR) eavesdropping mitigation for windows. SD is the de facto and written standard performance for U.S. Department of Defense and Intelligence Community.  Signals Defenses has a retired, DOD, CTTA on staff for Design, Build, Support, Consulting and Testing Services. 

 

6. All windows less than 18 feet above the ground or from the nearest platform

affording access to the window (measured from the bottom of the window), shall be

protected against forced entry and meet the standard for the perimeter.



• SD window technolgy can be laminated in ballistic, UL Levels 1-8; thus providing FEBR, RF/IR attenuation

Cyber 4.01 Conference 'Cyber Threats and How Businesses Can Fight Them'

Cyber 4.01 Conference 'Cyber Threats and How Businesses Can Fight Them' 

 

 

Ron Waranowski, Partner & President of SD, representatives from KCI Protection Technologies & Wilhelm Commercial Builders were guest speakers at the Howard County Chamber of Commerce 4.01 Cyber Conference, May 29, 2013.  The speakers elaborated on the various ways cyber criminals can compromise a businesses security posture and offered solutions for protecting electronic information and private conversations. 

 

Mr. Bartko, special assistant for cyber to the director of the NSA, was the keynote speaker at the security conference.  In his message he said "Intellectual property, private information, and even consumer items like music, movies and airline tickets are all kept and moved electronically. As a result, cyberspace is under constant attack from individuals and groups that steal information, disrupt businesses and government agencies and even destroy electronic systems and equipment.

 

 

 

Signals Defenses exhibited and demonstrated the key components of a Secure Work Environment (SWE).  SD Technology attenuates RF/IR signals penetrating or exiting the workplace, thus mitigating the exfiltration of sensitive information. 

 

For live demos we will be exhibiting at the ASIS Conference & Expo, Chicago, Sept 24-26.  Or contact Dana@signalsdefenses.com | 410.902.0356 to set an appointment at your offices or ours.
