With Islamic State using instant messaging apps, FBI seeks access to data
Los Angeles Times
Islamic State militants and their followers have discovered an unnerving new communications and recruiting tool that has stymied U.S. counter-terrorism agencies: instant messaging apps on smartphones that encrypt the texts or destroy them almost immediately. In many cases, U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies can't read the messages in real time, or even later with a court order, because the phone companies and the app developers say they can't unlock the coded text and don't retain a record of the exchanges.
Stop IS or risk another 9/11, says former White House counterterrorism czar
Wisconsin Public Radio
Despite more than nine months of U.S. led-airstrikes against militants belonging to the Islamic State group — also commonly known as ISIS — the group's momentum has been bolstered by recent gains in Iraq and Syria. U.S. officials said the surge could be coming via assistance from forces of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Security awareness: Credit card scams
By Thomas Parker
 Nearly every credit card holder has the potential of becoming a victim. Protecting yourself in the days of increasingly sophisticated criminals is becoming more difficult. Fighting these criminals is even tougher than ever for law enforcement due to budget cuts and minimal resources. So what can we do?

Police aren't the only public workers wearing body cameras
Emergency Management
Body cameras are rapidly becoming a familiar sight in police departments nationwide. Thanks in part to continued controversy over police actions in Baltimore; North Charleston, S.C.; Ferguson, Missouri, and elsewhere, local law enforcement agencies across the country have pledged to outfit officers with body cameras. Most of the nation's largest police departments have either already adopted the cameras or are considering plans to implement them. Now some communities have begun expanding the use of cameras beyond police, equipping other public employees with video devices.
Alarming rise in retail theft numbers serves notice to retailers
SecurityInfoWatch
With the release of the 27th Annual Retail Theft Survey, conducted by Jack L. Hayes, Inc., there is one disturbing fact that should concern every loss prevention executive – the future prospects of shrink in almost every retail environment is not shrinking.

Push for campus safety means more guns, officers, security spending
Forbes
Tasers, laptop locks and security cameras don't automatically come to mind when most people think of the college campus. But these devices are increasingly prominent in quads and dorms across the country. They are at the disposal of a swell of university police officers and public safety officials whose singular focus is to keep students safe.
Workplace health, safety and business value are symbiotic
HealthData Managament
You may add to the many "silo problems" facing those who wish to use health data to its full potential the fragmentation of health and safety data in the typical American workplace. Yet, the two are interdependent and some of the nation's most prominent experts in occupational medicine say it is time to begin coordinating and quantifying the effort to improve the nation's health at work.
Study: Cybersecurity fears grow as defenses boosted
Business Insider
The recent epidemic of cyberattacks has led to greater investment and spending on security, but fears are rising that hackers are gaining the upper hand, a study showed. A Rand Corporation study based on a survey of company chief information officers said rising concerns from high-profile incidents have made cybersecurity a priority for many organizations. The authors cited prior research showing worldwide spending on cybersecurity is approaching $70 billion per year and growing at 10 to 15 percent annually but said that "it would be an understatement to say organizations are dissatisfied with their security."
4 big cyber security challenges (and how to overcome them)
Forbes
Today's typical hacker is more likely to be part of a sophisticated and efficient crime ring than a lone criminal sitting in a basement. As cyber attacks coming from these organized rings become more complex and effective — and as data becomes an increasingly important resource for businesses — cyber security has risen to the top of executives' concerns.
The TSA security debacle keeps getting worse
Business Insider
A new report from the Department of Homeland Security's Inspector General revealed that 73 airline industry employees had possible links to terrorism that the airport security agency failed to find. USA Today reports that Transportation Security Administration missed the employees because they are running an incomplete background check list, rather than the more comprehensive government terrorist watch list compiled by the National Counterterrorism Center.
