Dahua & Hikvision Video Surveillance Equipment banned in Government Facilities
|
A bill banning U.S. government use of Dahua and Hikvision products made in China was passed by both chambers of Congress, and signed into law by the President on August 13.
The relevant clause in the 1,300-page NDAA defense appropriations bill states:
"For the purpose of public safety, security of government facilities, physical security surveillance of critical infrastructure, and other national security purposes, video surveillance and telecommunications equipment produced by Hytera Communications Corp., Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co., or Dahua Technology Co. (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities..."
At issue is the security and trustworthiness of these products, which extends to OEM products, which also will have to be removed.
It is known that the Chinese government exerts significant influence over these companies and backdoors have been discovered in their products. DataLink recommends that private sector organizations also discontinue using products from Dahua and Hikvision.

Government Regulations... PCI, HIPAA, Sarbanes Oxley, GDPR... Your business can benefit from Compliance
|
Instead of viewing regulatory compliance as a burden,
Forbes Insights research suggests that it can be harnessed to actually aid business. Accordingly, they offer three ways organizations can benefit from compliance activities...
Think Ahead
Companies need to develop informed positions about how long it will take for concepts to be executed and how laws might evolve by the time they're ready to take concepts to market. Waiting until later could mean investing in concepts that can't be deployed because the regulatory environment or technologies have shifted. Regulatory compliance in areas such as security or data privacy protection can even become a competitive differentiator.
Seize the Opportunity
Compliance can present opportunities. All the information and analysis compiled to satisfy regulators can serve a company's own purposes when it's used effectively to refine and enhance operations. The same insights that flag problems can also spotlight solutions. Technologies applied to regulatory data collection, protection and reporting can be used to improve data accuracy, help with a single view of the customer, and lead to an improved customer experience and faster speed to market.
Don't be Distracted
Compliance is an ever-moving target that can seem overwhelming. Sweeping regulatory reforms, such as the EU's General Data Protection Regulation, should have been anticipated so as not to stifle innovation. Organizations must continue to invest resources to both compliance and developing data-based business models because, ultimately, they will drive progress and fulfill the next phase of digital transformation.
If your organization must comply with government mandates, DataLink can provide gap analysis and remediation, quarterly scanning, and annual audits to help you achieve compliance objectives and better position your company for growth.

2018 Tax Incentives for Security Systems
|
The federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed into law in December 2017 included two important changes to the U.S. tax code providing incentives for businesses to invest in new security, fire protection and alarm systems.
Previously, SMBs could deduct most business-related equipment placed in service during a year, up to $500,000. For the first time, and on a permanent basis, security systems and fire protection and alarm systems are now treated as qualifying Section 179 property, despite being considered building improvements.
Beginning in 2018, qualifying businesses can now deduct the costs of new security and fire protection systems, up to a total of $1 million under Section 179, which were not eligible prior to the new law.
Don't let this opportunity pass you by... Let DataLink help you map out your path to new security technology that can protect your business.
