FAIRFAX, Va., Oct. 3, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SoBran, Incorporated joins 50 other mail communications industry leaders at the 15th annual MAILCOM Conference and Exhibition, October 5 through 7 in Las Vegas. SoBran will highlight it's SafeMail(r) Operational Architecture and Best Practices.
The ever-increasing postal threats and rapid introduction of new threat detection and counter-threat technology prompted SoBran to build SafeMail(r), a highly flexible, open, and scalable operational architecture to detect and screen harmful mail and packages.
"At the core of SafeMail(r) is SoBran's proven CBRNE (chemical, biological, radioactive, nuclear and explosive) operational and sensor-grid best practices," said SoBran President and CEO, Amos Otis. "Overlaying SafeMail(r) is a comprehensive Defense in Depth (DiD) approach with multiple layers of defense and detection. The glue that binds the technology, processes, and people together is an advanced command and control operations center with precise SOPs (standard operating procedures)."
SoBran supports many of the country's most critical and sensitive postal operations, inspecting and screening hundreds of thousands of pieces of mail and parcels monthly. SafeMail(r) is designed for 100% threat detection with zero tolerance for error. The company's expertise includes screening for CBRNE mail contamination, CBRNE related critical infrastructure and facility protection (SafeFacility(tm)), and supply chain and logistics threat protection (SafeCargo(tm)).
"We designed SafeMail(r) to secure government and civilian mail facilities," said Don Shanks, director of SoBran's Engineering and Logistics Division. "From facility design through training, start-up, and operations, our services help our clients safeguard their personnel, facilities, and missions. Not only do we provide our expertise to our customers, we use what we design everyday in SoBran-operated customer and SoBran owned-CBRNE screening facilities. Our Metro-Washington mail and parcel screening facility is bustling with activity."
"Since the terrorists are adapting their threats and new technologies are coming to market in higher frequency, we needed to build a highly adaptive, open architecture approach. That approach for mail screening is embedded within SafeMail(r)," said Tom Bauer, SoBran SVP of Operations.
SoBran's "defense in depth" (DiD) CBRNE security architectures includes SafeMail(r), SafePackage(tm), SafeCargo(tm), SafeFreight(tm), and SafeFacility(tm).
