To protect data, security and development teams must break silos and work together from day one.
Secure-by-design is no longer optional — it’s essential.

Universities are increasingly in the crosshairs of hacktivist groups.
By Frank Costa, President, Nexgen Protection Services
Driven by political or social agendas, these cyberattacks go beyond defacing websites — they now threaten research data, infrastructure, and campus operations.
No longer limited to protests or digital graffiti, hacktivists are increasingly targeting critical infrastructure — putting public safety and national security at risk.
Awareness and resilience are more important than ever. It’s time for higher ed to strengthen cyber defenses.

The Key to Efficient Hospitality Operations
Frank Costa, President, Nexgen Protection Services
In hospitality, seamless guest experiences rely on efficient behind-the-scenes operations. While mobile check-in and digital keys are guest-facing innovations, staff still depend on physical keys to access critical areas across large properties.
That’s where intelligent key cabinets come in. These smart systems automate key distribution, track usage in real time, and integrate with existing access control platforms. The result? Reduced security risks, increased accountability, and more efficient staff workflows.
Outdated peg boards and manual logs can’t match the security and efficiency these digital solutions offer — helping hospitality teams focus on what matters most: the guest experience.
