Streamlined screening
Best Buy makes switch to passive millimeter wave, whole-body imaging at distribution service centres
Like
many warehousing and distribution service operations, having hundreds
of employees and dozens of visitors passing through your facilities
each day means that security measures to ensure the safety of employees
and the sanctity of the inventory must be accurate, efficient and
considerate of personal privacy. For Best Buy Canada Ltd., which
operates two distribution service centers to serve the entire country,
security screening also needs to be timely and provide expedient shift
changes.

constantly under attack. We want to hear about your concerns and help
provide some answers.
Send your burning questions to jbrown@clbmedia.ca and we'll forward them on to DigitalDefence who will answer them in the pages of Canadian Security magazine.

send as much information as possible to allow DigitalDefence to analyze
your question and come up with a detailed answer. The answer will be
e-mailed to you directly and later be published in Canadian Security so others may benefit from your experience. Your company name will not be published.
We ask that your questions be limited to the field of network security, but other than that, anything's game.
