October 19, 2010
While no guarantees can be offered to eliminate cyber crime, Risk Control Strategies has created a proprietary product that will provide the highest level of protection available to the affluent homeowner to safeguard their human, physical and financial assets from cyber predators and identity thieves. The probability of this threat is more than evident. In March of 2010, The Wall Street Journal reported a 22.3% increase over 2008 in reported cyber crime to the tune of $559.7 million. Further, The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) estimates that as many as 10 million Americans have their identities stolen each year. This, in concert with the rise of home invasions/burglaries in affluent communities across the country, makes the implementation of the RCS CyberShield both timely and prudent.

August 3, 2009
In the years since the attacks in our homeland on September 11, 2001, when over 3200 Americans lost their lives, we have seen the increase and decrease of new and inconvenient security measures in our daily lives. Every new threat to international security should serve as a wake-up call to us all. Attacks, similar to what we have recently witnessed in India, further justify even more stringent and sustainable security measures in our homeland. Additionally, corporate first responders need the requisite training to respond appropriately to a terrorist incident prior to law enforcements arrival.
