Every year, the International Security Conference and Exposition puts on a trade event called ISC West in Las Vegas, Nevada. In 2023, ISC West took place from March 28th to March 31st. We at Delta Scientific were pleased to attend the conference and meet with current and future customers. If you were unable to attend the conference, we have compiled a few of the most important takeaways.
Crash Ratings and Certifications
At Delta Scientific, we know that you need to rely on our products to perform correctly and predictably in emergency situations. When a vehicle is barreling toward your facility, the difference between a catastrophe and a crisis averted can be a matter of seconds. For this reason, we put our products through multiple crash test scenarios to determine a crash rating, i.e., how effective each barrier is under a particular set of circumstances. We then submit to various certifying agencies to confirm and validate the results.
Rebounding Air Traffic Means Greater Need for Airport Security
Air travel declined during the COVID-19 pandemic, partly because of government restrictions and partly because of people’s fears about contracting the virus while on a plane. As the number of infections and hospitalizations goes down, those roadblocks are slowly being removed, and more people are flying. We at Delta Scientific know that more air traffic means a greater need for security to keep travelers safe.
4 Steps To Building an Efficient and Collaborative Culture of Security
The role of security is to prevent threats to your facility from harming your employees, visitors, and assets. It is a crucially important function. Unfortunately, when security is inefficient, it can interfere with everyday operations.
The New Undercarriage Vehicle Inspection Lights UVLS100
Vehicle attacks come in different forms. Terrorists are always looking for ways to cause as much chaos as possible, whether that means coming up with new ways to destroy or repurposing old ways. Therefore, Delta Scientific has to keep coming up with products that can foil vehicle attacks. One of our newest products is UVLS100, Undercarriage Vehicle Inspection Lights, which work in combination with our barricades.
How AI Fits in an Overall Security Scheme
In a security context, the most obvious application for artificial intelligence is in guarding the computer system against online attacks. However, does AI have applications for physical security as well?
How Delta Scientific Uses Finite Element Analysis To Develop Crash-Certified Systems
Delta Scientific security products receive crash ratings from many different organizations. These include civilian organizations such as ASTM, military organizations such as the Department of Defense, and other federal agencies such as the Department of State. To determine these ratings, these organizations put our products through rigorous testing under real-world conditions.
The DSC1200: A Surface-Mounted, Plug-and-Play Barricade Security Solution
A wide range of facilities faces potential threats from errant drivers, car-crashing thieves, or truck bomb attacks. Delta Scientific barricades are effective at neutralizing these threats, protecting both the facilities and the people that occupy them from serious harm. However, what happens when you need protection quickly, or the site is not conducive to the installation of a traditional barrier? We have you covered in these scenarios as well with surface-mounted barriers such as the DSC1200.
5 Advantages of Delta Scientific Sliding Gates
How would an intruder try to break onto your property? Chances are, a trespasser would try to get in the same way legitimate visitors do, by attempting to use the access points. Because a security system is no stronger than at its weakest point, fortifying the entryways to your property is of crucial importance. A sliding gate for your entryway offers many advantages. Here are some reasons why you should consider a sliding gate in general and one from Delta Scientific in particular.
Physical Security of Nuclear Sites
The first Nuclear Security Summit was held in 2010 with the goal of securing all vulnerable nuclear material worldwide within four years. Since that time, countries that store nuclear materials have made great progress, but the challenge of securing them has proven difficult to overcome despite three subsequent Nuclear Security Summits at two-year intervals. Securing nuclear weapons and materials is a top priority for the United States, and Delta Scientific products may have a role to play in safeguarding the facilities where the materials are stored.
