TSCM Generational X-Ray Advancements

The use of x-ray imagers in a TSCM role is not new and can be complex; requiring extensive training and regulatory approval on country-by-country basis. This presentation introduces the concept, application and limitations of deploying x-ray imagers as yet another arguably essential resource in combating commercial and government, state-sponsored espionage activities; often through supply chain infiltration of assets destined for national security facilities. The ability to evaluate all assets placed within wireless security zones, classified meeting space, SCIF and SWA environments is an often over-looked, but essential TSCM best practice. Discover how x-ray imaging resources can add an additional step to the mitigation of a potential technical compromise.
