Agent in Charge Named to RaySecur Board of Advisors
Physical mail is an ever-evolving security threat facing a broad
range of government agencies, particularly in an election year.
While cybersecurity is top-of-mind for many law enforcement
officials, many agencies are vulnerable to physical mail threats,
as evidenced by recent events involving fentanyl-laced letters
sent to multiple state election offices. Many agencies lack the
modern hardware to keep up with today's threats. Targets of
mail-based threats range from politicians, government officials,
embassies, and election polling sites. Drug-laced mail has long
been a problem facing correctional facilities, and these same
tactics using increasingly potent substances are now being used to
weaponize mail and target government facilities, corporations, and
even high-profile individuals.
"I am thrilled to join the RaySecur advisory board," says
Joe Bonavolonta. "I am eager to
apply my expertise gained in both the public and private sectors to
RaySecur's work in the private sector to ensure companies and
individuals are protected from today's ever-evolving mail security
threats."
MailSecur, developed by RaySecur, is the only T-ray desktop mail
screening system capable of detecting all nine chemical,
biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosives (CBRNE) dangerous
substances listed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as
potential mail threats. The technology provides real-time 3-D
imaging insights into the contents of received mail without the use
of harmful X-rays. The MailSecur technology is designated by DHS
under the Safety Act as a Qualified Anti-Terror Technology.
RaySecur's in-house security advisory team is comprised of former
military explosives experts, former law enforcement narcotics
detectives, and former USPIS dangerous mail inspectors and provides
customers with 24 x 365 remote support, onsite training, risk
assessments, and threat intelligence.
"Joe's extensive experience working on critical national
intelligence issues, in particular proactively identifying and
mitigating emerging threats will be a key asset to RaySecur's
advisory board," says Alex Sappok,
PhD, CEO of RaySecur. "I look forward to working with Joe and the
board in this capacity as we continually strive to deliver even
better technology solutions to keep our customers safe from
emerging security threats."
As a member of RaySecur's advisory board, Bonavolonta joins a
field of leading security experts including: Rick Peristere, former CIA Chief of Staff;
Dean Geribo, Chief Security Officer
for biotech leader Moderna; Jim
McDonnell, former L.A. County Sheriff; Mike Howard, former Chief Security Officer for
Microsoft; Mark Sullivan, former
Director of the United States Secret Service; and Ed Davis, former Police Commissioner for the
City of Boston, among others.
