RSA Update: CyberPoint's Jerry Caponera will speak about how the Prescient Program enhanced the security of a Chinese-made VTC system.

BALTIMORE, Md., Feb. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- During next week's RSA conference, Jerry Caponera will discuss how CyberPoint's Prescient Program enhanced the security of a Chinese-made VTC. Since its inception in 2011, the Prescient Program has developed solutions to ease heightened US security concerns over Chinese and other foreign-made technology products. The Prescient Program recently helped Chinese technology giant ZTE enhance the security of a video teleconferencing system by adding US-built and installed security measures. First offered for sale in the US late last year, the Prescient T700S-FW High Definition VTC is available on the US Government's GSA schedule. "We're working in an increasingly globalized technology environment," said Caponera, head of CyberPoint's Prescient Program. "We need to start looking for solutions to the hard security problems associated with global technology manufacturing, and find ways to build trust among trading partners." The Prescient Program was designed to help the US Government and the American private sector take advantage of global technology innovation by reducing the uncertainties and mitigating the security risks associated with foreign-owned products and technologies. Prescient also helps foreign-owned companies build trust with potential customers and enhance their products in order to open up new markets in the US. Learn more at www.prescientprogram.com.
