MAJOR INTERNET PROVIDER INSTALLS NEWTON
SECURITY INC.’S T-DAR® TECHNOLOGY TO PROTECT
AGAINST THE LOSS OF DATA DUE To TAILGATING/ PIGGYBACKING
Newton Security Inc, the global leader in the supply of machine vision single person detection systems announced today the installation of
Newton’s patent pending T-DAR® technology to prevent unauthorized access into the world-wide data centers of a major internet provider
and content delivery company. Configured as “man-traps”, the Newton T-DAR systems prevent unauthorized access via tailgating and
piggybacking by allowing only one person at a time into the secure area. The Newton T-DAR systems were installed on the access doors
to the buildings to prevent the potential loss of data due to the recurring security shortcoming known as Tailgating and Piggybacking, the
two most common forms of illegal access into restricted areas.
Tailgating is the act of an unauthorized person slipping through a door after an authorized person. Piggybacking occurs when an authorized
person holds a protected door open for another person that he or she knows or perceives to have authorized access. Both acts completely
remove and circumvent the access control system’s ability to reject a revoked or counterfeit pass or badge and to prevent unauthorized access.
In either case, the access control system — whether equipped with advanced biometrics or just a simple card system — has no knowledge
of entry by the unauthorized person unless the tailgating/piggybacking is detected.
“With the current high profile environment over the concern for the loss of data, companies charged with protecting data have come to realize
that physical security of the data systems must be equally weighted with need for network security” stated John W. Bramblet, President and
CEO of Newton Security. “Much effort has been expended to increase electronic security while little has been done to augment inadequate
physical security. Newton’s T-DAR system addresses the existing gap in most installed physical security systems, that of the lack of control
of piggybacking or tailgating.” he added.
As installed in these particular applications, the T-DAR system is combined with a second door, creating a "mantrap" device; essentially a
double-door entry corridor where the first door must be secured before the employee can pass through the second door. This combination of
the T-DAR system with two doors guarantees that only a single person passes through into the secure area. Configured as a man-trap, the
T-DAR system completely prevents Piggybacking/Tailgating as well as reporting attempted violations. In other applications when combined
with a single door, the T-DAR® is primarily a detection system, designed to report violations to the security on site and to capture video of
the violator.
T-DAR’s sophisticated stereo 3-dimensional machine vision technology constantly monitors and accurately counts the number of persons
attempting to enter a given area and reports violators, including video evidence, to security. Newton’s T-DAR technology has successfully been
deployed in numerous applications around the world to control and track access to restricted areas, including airports, government installations,
data centres, financial concerns, unmanned immigration and virtually every other category of secure areas.

develops and markets high-performance computer driven answers to difficult security problems. Newton Security's products are designed to allow
the quality, efficiency and cost effectiveness of computer technology to replace the human element in security applications where the tedious nature

TORONTO PEARSON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
INCREASES SECURITY AND REDUCES COSTS WITH
A T-DAR PIGGYBACKING AND TAILGATING DETECTION
AND PREVENTION SYSTEM
Seattle, WA - Security managers at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Canada are poised to benefit from a reduction in operating
costs with the July 1 deployment of the recently constructed tailgate prevention system featuring T-DAR® stereo vision technology developed
by Newton Security Inc.
The T-DAR system, which stands for Tailgate Detection Alarm and Recording, was installed by Hart-Well Electric Ltd. of Mississauga, Ontario
at the employee-only access point leading into a service area where different agencies have offices, and is intended to identify and prevent any
occurrence of "piggybacking" or "tailgating" at this sensitive location.
These two innocuous-sounding terms are actually serious, well-recognized security threats. Piggybacking occurs when an authorized person
holds a secure door open for another person who is perceived to have access approval. Tailgating is the act of an unauthorized individual
following an authorized person through a door without their knowledge. Both of these violations bypass the capability of an electronic security
system to detect and reject a suspicious individual, or someone using an invalid or fraudulent identity pass.
The elimination of piggybacking and tailgating security threats is a result of installing Newton T-DAR technology into a mantrap configuration.
The 5 ft. by 7 ft. (1.5m X 2.1m) mantrap, or security vestibule, is an enclosed area with one door in the public area and another, always locked
door into the secure area. In the space between doors is a biometric iris scanner and two, ceiling-mounted T-DAR stereo vision cameras. The
T-DAR system is a patented combination of machine vision and sophisticated software which has the ability to identify, tag and track the
human form within the mantrap, insuring that there is only one person present, while ignoring carts, luggage or parcels. Once the identity of a
single individual is established, the public door is electronically locked and the door to the secure area is unlocked for that transit only. If T-DAR
detects more than one person in the mantrap, a recorded warning is sounded instructing the mantrap to be cleared and a single entry be tried
again in 10 seconds.
Airport security operating costs will be reduced because before the T-DAR installation, a guard was required to be posted 24/7 at the employee
entry. The T-DAR system operates without the need of on-location monitoring or operation by security personnel, which results in considerable
annual savings.
The U.S. and Canadian patented T-DAR technology has been approved by the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority and is already installed
at six major airports: Victoria International Airport, Edmonton International Airport, the James Armstrong Richardson International Airport in
Winnipeg, London International Airport in Ontario, Kelowna International Airport in B.C. and the Quebec International Airport. Additional installations
are in the planning stage.
