Signature News from McAfee
You’ve probably heard of the popular video conferencing platform, Zoom. This platform enables its millions of users in various locations to virtually meet face to face. In an effort to enhance user experience and work around changes in Safari 12, Zoom installed a web server that allows users to enjoy one-click-to-join meetings.

At A Glance
Keonn RFID. A high-end Italian retailer is deploying Keonn’s loss-prevention systems in its flagship stores to keep entrances clear and unobstructed.
The project is being deployed by our partner Solos, a specialist in identification, traceability, protection and anti-theft solutions.
According to the characteristics of each store, the best loss-prevention system has been selected between AdvanSafe-200, AdvanMat-300, and AdvanGate. The stores also have an AdvanPay-160 that deactivates and detaches the RFID hard tags at the same time.
All the installations have the systems hidden either on the floor, the ceiling, or the walls, so the entrance is completely unobstructed and the aesthetics of the store is greatly improved.

These efforts must be carried out with continuous improvement in mind. Today’s constantly evolving business environment totally reinforces the old adage that change is the only constant. more
