Spy agencies to open communications to entire intelligence community
Knitting databases of this nature together is very much in line with the theme of “dare to share”, as opposed to previous policies of “share if you must”. This new willingness to share has to be treated with caution however — strong and robust sharing policies, backed by technological controls will be required to prevent problems caused by increased classification of data caused by aggregation.
This is an area Nexor is undertaking detailed research in — how do you maintain original security labels on documents, where labels are not supported in the native document formats, as the document traverses networks with heterogeneous software implementations.
Nexor has deployed a revolutionary, low energy cooling system in its equipment room that will help to cut carbon emissions and reduce costs. A 70% reduction in cooling energy is being achieved through the innovative air handling solution from 4energy, a dynamic, young organisation based in Nottingham. The solution manages the effects of high and low temperatures on equipment and includes a smart environmental monitoring and control system that ties all the individual parts of the system together in real time.

Already a leading defence and security SELinux software house, Nexor has added five more RedHat Certified Technicians and two more RedHat Certified Engineers to its team. Nexor is using SELinux as the foundation for its new family of data guards and has invested significantly over the past two years in staff, training and collaboration with Tresys, the foremost authority on SELinux in the US.
