FROM THE PRESIDENT:

Before the electronics revolution, it was accurate to think of a security company as providing a single product – a security system. These days, however, the development of numerous technologies has altered the landscape for companies in the industry. It no longer makes sense to think of a security system as a single product. Present day security needs require a variety of systems, incorporating anywhere from 10 to 200 different components, which must all work together to accomplish the job at hand.

What does this mean for you? It means that when you shop for an access control system, alarm monitoring, life safety systems, and so on, you need more than a simple security company. You need a systems integrator, a company that has the experience to coordinate a broad range of technologies and their components into a single, effective and "seamless" solution.

Your organization must satisfy certain mandated security and safety requirements in order to keep its doors open. How you meet those requirements, however, will depend on your organization’s unique circumstances – its mission or industry, location, facilities, staff size, etc. Chances are you’ll want and need systems that satisfy more than basic security and safety requirements.

Given that your systems needs are unique to your company, it isn’t likely that a pre-designed system can answer them. That’s where a systems integrator such as RD&A, Inc. proves its worth. We have the experience to plan and install different technologies that, when linked together properly, will meet your needs precisely.

Our system designers work to fully understand your organization, integrating the latest, best and most cost-effective systems available. We also plan your systems so they’ll be adaptable to the new technologies and changing needs of the future. All of the products we use are tested to ensure their reliable operation. And our trained technicians conduct installations so as to minimize disruption to your operations.

Our goal, at RD&A, is to be your single source for building systems needs. Give us a call for more information. We stand ready to serve you!

Fighting Cyber Crime Reduces Funding for Terrorism

October 1, 2007 – Cyber Security and Communications Assistant Secretary Greg Garcia spoke at the National Cyber Security Awareness Month Summit, explaining that the money gained through cyber crime—more than $100 billion—can be used to finance terrorism.

He remarked, “The developments we have made in strengthening Federal systems, developing a preparedness and deterrence strategy, and enhancing our operational cyber response capabilities have been aggressive, but our work has just begun. It’s an evolutionary process. > read more
