Frost & Sullivan Commends EM-SEC’s
Wireless Security Solution for Federal
and Corporate Facilities
Palo Alto, Calif. —
September 12, 2007 — Frost & Sullivan selected EM-SEC Technologies
LLC as the recipient of the 2007 North
American Frost & Sullivan Growth Excellence
Award in the wireless security technology
market.
EM-SEC Technologies’
2060 water-based polymer coating is a
remarkable tool that helps government
and industry to protect wireless networks
and other electromagnetic emissions from
hacking and eavesdropping. The solution
shields users against espionage and criminal
activities such as identity theft, bank
fraud, and above all, it aids national
defense and homeland security.
Despite advances in encryption
technologies, keys are constantly hacked
and broken. The groundbreaking 2060 polymer
coating blocks external access to wireless
signals such as WiFi networks and cellular
phone conversations irrespective of encryption.
“In addition to blocking
RF emanations, the 2060 polymer coating
has been certified to the highest regulatory
and environmental standards because of
its low environmental impact unlike other
chemical coatings,” says Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Garrick Ngai.
“EM-SEC Technologies is fast becoming
a global leader in RF containment for
federal and corporate users such as defense
firms, financial institutions, and hospitals.”
The company also offers
other TEMPEST solutions for Sensitive
Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIF)
and secured corporate facilities. The
2060 polymer coating can be applied by
brush, roll, or spray by general contractors.
It can be applied on new and old surfaces
including drywall, sheetrock, plaster,
concrete, block, brick, wood, particleboard,
and plastics.
Furthermore, it can be used
in different locations such as corporate
offices, boardrooms, server rooms, laboratories,
and in areas difficult to shield through
conventional means such as aluminum wall
lining. The 2060 formula can also coat
vehicles and other platforms to expand
wireless security applications.
“The applicability
of the 2060 polymer coating on common
building material enables engineers to
build or retrofit secured wireless spaces
affordably that are beyond the usual bunker,”
observes Ngai. “Compared to the
security and financial cost of inaction,
the 2060 RF solution is both affordable
and prudent for organizations big and
small. Various organizations have fallen
victim to hackers or spies accessing wireless
signals with simple antennas in parked
cars outside of unprotected buildings.”
Most organizations have
yet to adopt multi-layered approaches
to wireless security partly because of
their unfamiliarity with established standards
such as TEMPEST and SCIF. EM-SEC aims
to educate potential users about SCIF
and RF emanations due to vulnerability
of sensitive data in unshielded buildings.
“EM-SEC anticipates
and responds to a client’s security
requirements with its value-added approach
to wireless security,” notes Ngai.
“EM-SEC professionals offer important
services such as site evaluation, risk
and threat assessment, and turnkey solutions
to maximize wireless security and to minimize
disruptions.”
Each year, this Award is
presented to the company that has demonstrated
excellence in implementing and sustaining
growth through unique growth strategies
in its field. Frost & Sullivan,
through this exhaustive selection process,
seeks to identify a company that has exhibited
excellence in all its functional areas,
resulting in sustained financial growth.
