other border controls safer and more efficient. Biometrics can make
an important contribution to significantly speeding up and simplifying
passenger handling, for example with facial or fingerprint recognition.
Twelve states, including Singapore, Malaysia, Maldives, Cambodia,
Algeria and Brunei, are already relying on DERMALOG’s solutions to
monitor their national borders. The company’s fingerprint scanners
are also in use at German airports and at border crossings in
Switzerland and the Netherlands. This makes DERMALOG Europe’s
leading provider of border control systems.
The core of the DERMALOG solution is a so-called Automated
Biometric Identification System (ABIS). The multi-modal system

from the airspace is required, the DERMALOG technology can also be
integrated in drones.

Palo Alto Networks launches global
Cyber Range initiative
P
of the Palo Alto Networks’ Next-Generation
Security Platform.
alo Alto Networks, the next-generation
security company, has announced
the launch of its new global Cyber Range
initiative. By providing permanent Cyber
Range capabilities for its customers in
Europe, the Middle East and Africa, the
Americas and the Asia-Pacific region, the
company is working to build and improve
effective skills for cybersecurity challenges
today and in the future.
Today’s security professionals are dealing
with a complex and rapidly evolving
environment. The falling cost of computing
power means that cybercriminals are better
resourced today and don’t rely on one vector
to carry out attacks on organisations.
The Palo Alto Networks’ Cyber Range
activity includes network simulations
and cyberattack exercises that enable
enterprise security professionals to build
on their security skills, maturity, efficacy,
communications and processes. The

scenarios include both single and multi-
vector attacks, which are continually updated
to remain relevant to all participants and
give them timely training on the very latest
threats and most advanced real-world
malware, such as ransomware.
Professionals can build on their understanding
of today’s most advanced threats, improve
their internal team communications and
processes and also improve skills in identifying
and preventing threats with real-time use
“Addressing cyber threats is only possible
by combining innovative technology,
skilled security professionals and effective
security best practices. Palo Alto Networks’
Cyber Range tests all three, helping security
professionals stay ready to defend against
increasingly complex and skilled adversaries.
With cyber skills in short supply globally, Palo
Alto Networks is working with its customers
to give security professionals the capabilities,
as well as the tools, to prevent successful
cyberattacks,” said Mark McLaughlin,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Palo
Alto Networks.
