OPINION / Video conferencing technology offers new opportunities for homeland security collaboration

By William Sapp

In an operating environment where threats are imminent and the response must be equally swift, video communication technology can offer DHS and its communities of interest new ways to collaborate to improve homeland security operations.

Whether responding to a natural disaster or sharing intelligence to thwart a terrorist plot, video conferencing technology allows organizations to connect quickly and collaborate meaningfully.

OPINION / Cyber-attacks demand public-private response

But, with a threat that is quickly growing and more sophisticated each day, it's clear that the government -- for all of its good intentions -- cannot win this battle without a robust commitment from technology companies.
