RaySecur has announced that the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has renewed its SAFETY Act Designation for another four years.
This renewal designates MailSecur, RaySecur’s desktop T-ray mail screening system, as a Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology (QATT) under the Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act (SAFETY Act) of 2002.
MailSecur technology
The renewal underscores the proven effectiveness of RaySecur’s MailSecur technology, which utilizes real-time 3D T-ray imaging operating at 400 GHz to detect mail-borne threats such as powders, liquids and other hidden dangers that are becoming increasingly smaller and more dangerous.
The SAFETY Act Designation offers critical liability protections to organizations utilizing RaySecur’s technology to safeguard their operations against mail-borne attacks, ensuring they can deploy suitable security solutions with confidence.
The system is sustainable and safe as it does not generate harmful radiation like X-ray machines.
Rising executive threats
The tragic attack on the CEO of UnitedHealthcare has cast a spotlight on the increasing risks faced by executives and the vulnerabilities that come with their high-profile roles.
Unsecured mail and deliveries remain one of the most overlooked yet most exploited entry points for physical threats targeting executives.
These threats are evolving, with attackers leveraging sophisticated methods to deliver harmful substances, explosives and other dangerous materials directly to key decision-makers.
RaySecur’s MailSecur technology provides an essential layer of protection by enabling organizations to proactively detect concealed threats in real-time before they reach their intended targets.
As executive safety becomes an ever-growing concern, MailSecur is being used today by security teams for G8 world leaders, Fortune 500 companies, leading sports teams and more, to protect these highly visible individuals and organizations.
“More important than ever”
Alex Sappok, PhD CEO, RaySecur commented: “Receiving the SAFETY Act renewal is a testament to the importance of MailSecur in mitigating these critical security risks.
“Bolstering corporate and executive security is now more important than ever and mail security is often the first line of defense.”
Sappok concluded: “This renewal not only validates the trust our customers place in us but also reinforces our commitment to delivering innovative, life-saving technology.”
