Deepfakes can cause financial and reputational damage to your organization.
Cybersecurity and fraud prevention are inextricably intertwined. Most organizations have robust firewalls, secure operating systems and intrusion detection systems. Deepfakes bypass these preventative firewalls through social engineering techniques.
Individuals receive an email from a seemingly reputable source requesting employees give up sensitive information over email. Once this information is provided, hackers infiltrate company’s databases extracting sensitive information.
Educate your employees about the existence of deepfakes. Provide training about the ways to spot deepfakes, and foster a culture of skepticism, similar to the way that employees are now on guard for phishing emails.

Sidewalk bollards prevent and protect the public from being injured by vehicles nearby.
Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –
Bollards installed on sidewalks and around the perimeter of buildings are an essential way to keep everyone safe. A bollard is a short vertical post used to separate pedestrians or streetscape elements from vehicles.
There are too many accidents where you see a vehicle crashed inside of a storefront because there was nothing there to stop it. Bollards can stop someone in a vehicle intent on inflicting harm to people that are just going out and enjoying their day.

Houses of worship are now targets of vandalism, theft and attacks.
Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –
Holy places, shrines, cathedrals, synagogues, mosques, megachurches and schools are no longer safe. Nothing seems to be sacred.
Antisemitism has skyrocketed over the past few years. Bigotry continues toward followers of Islam. Conflicts between spiritual beliefs and mainstream culture have also created tension.
Many are assessing their security needs to ensure that the congregation has peace of mind. In doing so they can continue to learn, reflect, pray and celebrate in safety and comfort.
