Located not far from Belgrade are several large power stations producing around half of Serbia’s electricity requirements. The operators of the facilities have relied on safety solutions from Securiton for many years. As a result, the fire detection and alarm system in the largest of the four power stations has now been brought up to the latest standards. The TENT power station, named after the inventor Nikola Tesla, is a coal-fired power station complex in Serbia. The complex consists of two large power stations, Nikola Tesla A and B, located close to Obrenovac on the Sava river, some 40km upstream from Belgrade, and two smaller, more remote power plants, Kolubara A and Morava. The complex is by far the largest generator of electricity in Serbia and produces around half of Serbia’s demand. The fuel used is lignite, which is transported by rail from the opencast mining areas in the Kolubara basin. For many years now, the complex has been equipped with fire alarm and detection systems from Securiton. Thanks to the reliability and professional service and support provided by Securiton d.o.o. in Belgrade, TENT’s management recently again selected Securiton d.o.o. as the supplier for additional fire detection and extinguishing systems for the exhaust gas desulphurisation systems on four blocks (A3-A6).  

Healthcare requires data protection and cybersecurity tools and measures as much as any other sector. We already know the ways in which hospitals can safeguard their devices and daily operations against the attacks orchestrated by cybercriminals. However, cybersecurity does not have to exclusively involve high-cost solutions all the time. Organisations involved in healthcare can opt for certain low-cost data security solutions – tools, applications, or measures – to prevent breaches, as well as other kinds of cyber threats. Social media safety training Social media is an inescapable part of our culture now. So, naturally, most employees in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare centres will have their own online accounts on one or more popular social media platforms. Safety training must be provided to such employees so that they are aware of the data security issues that can stem from social media applications. For example, hackers may be able to know the email ID of an individual from their social media profile. This ID can then be used to break into the person’s work emails or other organisation files and databases. Simple measures like not sharing login details of one’s social media account with anybody, and selecting a strong password, can reduce the chances of falling prey to such threats. Virtual Private Network VPNs are low-cost and highly efficient cybersecurity tools that force internet traffic travelling from or to a device to flow through an encrypted pathway via an intermediary server so that any external, unauthorised entity is unable to intercept and access the data present in it. Any such entity would be unable to track your organisation’s digital communication or other online activities without proper authorisation. In a field as privacy-oriented as healthcare, a VPN can be an invaluable tool. Most importantly, VPNs are reasonably priced to buy and run. Healthcare bodies can also use the professional services and reasonably priced data security products for the purpose. Also Read:- Ensuring Endpoint Datat: Security for Remote Devices
