5-1-96 FiTi has an 18-page insert on information
technology. Its Page One thriller:
"Businesses fail to halt 'Ram raiders.'
A sprialling crime wave is causing growing concern among
law enforcement authorities, insurers and the business
community. Computer theft is the fastest-growing crime
in the UK. To combat physical computer crime, a wide
variety of protection measures have been developed:
physical restraints, motion detectors, electronic
tagging, dye sprays, invisible identity tags, microdots,
smoke bombs, chemical "fingerprints," and software
monitors. Beyond the threats of hacking and virus
attacks, as much as 2bn pounds a year is lost by
computer misuse and "time-wasting surfing the Internet".
Some of the new-anti-theft products are on display at
Infosec 96, the UK's first big IT security exhibition,
at London Olympia this week. The organisers have
prepared seven fact sheets dealing with security "hot
topics" such as encryption, disaster recovery and virus
protection.
