Security services in Texas

SGI Protective Services has completed its service assignment for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). SGI Protective Services entered into an interim service agreement in July 2008 to provide security staffing services on a special assignment. Safeguard’s SYSTEMSgroup division has provided security technology services to TxDOT for the past three years, including access control, closed circuit TV, identification technologies and security systems. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), is made up of 21 divisions and 6 offices that support 25 geographical districts around the state of Texas. TxDOT is responsible for maintaining nearly 80,000 miles of road and for supporting aviation, rail and public transportation across the state. TxDOT and its 15,000 employees strive to empower local leaders to solve local transportation problems, and to use new financial tools, including tolling and public-private partnerships, to reduce congestion and pave the way for future economic growth while enhancing safety, improving air quality and preserving the value of the state's transportation assets.

One-to-Watch: There are some IT people you just have to trust. Lanxoma, security software developed by Unity Solutions, restricts access to the root level of computer operating systems, grants limited time access permission to authorized users and records all activity while the authorized user is logged-on - so being a deterrent to the "insider threat." http://lanxoma.com
