San Mateo Medical Center selects Xtract One's weapon detection technology
San Mateo Medical Center in California, US, has chosen Xtract One Technologies' SmartGateway system to bolster its security measures with AI-powered weapon detection. This move aims to enhance the safety of visitors, patients and staff, beginning with the main campus and intending to extend to satellite clinics. The implementation of Xtract One's technology is timely, coinciding with new legislative requirements in California. California's Assembly Bill 2975 mandates that hospitals establish weapons detection screening at key entry points. San Mateo Medical Center's adoption of SmartGateway is a response to these regulations, aiming to improve the individual experience within the facility. Xtract One CEO Peter Evans said: 'With violent incidents being five times more frequent in healthcare facilities than in other industries, we recognise the unique challenge hospitals face in ensuring a safe environment. 'Our SmartGateway has shown proven efficacy in on-site, real-world testing and we are confident that its deployment at San Mateo Medical Center will provide enhanced security that identifies potential threats of all kinds, including firearms and edged weapons, and minimises disruptions to patients, staff, and visitors.' SmartGateway is known for its quick and discreet individual screening process. It employs AI sensors to scan individuals for weapons and other banned items as they pass through, without the need for emptying pockets. This innovation seeks to replace traditional metal detectors, reducing queue times at security checkpoints and providing valuable security data to enhance screening outcomes. The technology is designed to allow for a smooth flow of traffic through security points. San Mateo Medical Center's chief operations officer Robert Blake said: 'Deploying Xtract One's technology at our main campus reinforces that commitment. 'After extensive testing of various systems, we found SmartGateway's innovative technology to be the most effective for our facility's needs, allowing us to stay ahead of potential threats in order to maintain a secure and welcoming campus for everyone.' Earlier this year, Xtract One reported the installation of its Xtract One Gateway system at hospitals in Manitoba, Canada. "San Mateo Medical Center selects Xtract One's weapon detection technology" was originally created and published by Hospital Management, a GlobalData owned brand.

San Mateo County court warns of missed jury duty scams
The San Mateo County Superior Court is warning residents about a recent surge in scams involving false claims of missed jury duty, in which scammers pose as law enforcement or court officials to demand money or personal information. According to a statement by the Court released Wednesday, individuals have reported being contacted through phone calls, texts, emails, and letters by people claiming that they failed to appear for jury service. The scammers then threaten arrest or fines unless payment is made immediately to resolve fake warrants. Court officials emphasized that neither the Court nor law enforcement will ever contact jurors to demand payment, threaten arrest, or instruct them to turn themselves in for missing jury duty. Residents are urged not to engage with anyone making such demands and to report such cases to local law enforcement. Victims are also encouraged to notify the Court's Juror Services at JuryMaster@ "The Court thanks all San Mateo County residents for staying alert and asks the community to help spread the word to protect family, friends, and neighbors against jury duty scams," the statement read.

Want a House by Frank Lloyd Wright? There's a Support Group for That.
Laurence Frank was enjoying a quiet dinner at his brother's home in San Mateo, Calif., one summer evening in 2022 when he got a call: His house was on fire. Fortunately for Dr. Frank, the small blaze had been extinguished by the time he arrived at the scene. Unfortunately for the house, a 1939 design by Frank Lloyd Wright in Hillsborough, Calif., the fire department did so by sawing off the end of the roof. An insurance adjuster stopped by a few days later to assess the damage, and Dr. Frank explained that the house was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the pre-eminent 20th-century American architect. 'He had no idea what I was talking about,' said Dr. Frank, who grew up in the house and works as a wildlife biologist studying African carnivores. 'At that point, I knew I was in trouble.' He had reason to be worried. Finding a local contractor to conduct faithful repairs and source the right materials (say, rotary-cut redwood veneers) would be daunting. As would the bills.

QuSecure Names Gregory Donovan Vice President of Revenue as Demand for its Post-Quantum Cryptography and Cryptographic Agility Solutions Grows
Donovan Brings Critical Enterprise Leadership as Company Expands in Cybersecurity Market SAN MATEO, Calif., June 25, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--QuSecure™, Inc., a leader in post-quantum cryptography (PQC) cryptographic agility, today announced it has named Gregory Donovan, a prominent revenue executive in the cybersecurity industry, as its new Vice President of Revenue. This is a strategic and necessary move for the company as it sees rising interest in both private and public sector cybersecurity teams starting their needed PQC migrations to gain quantum protection for critical data anywhere it travels. "I was impressed with the leadership and approach that QuSecure has taken to solve what could be a trillion-dollar problem in the market," Donovan said. "I chose QuSecure for that very reason – how it can provide PQC and cryptographic agility now and how I see our innovation evolving to solve current cybersecurity issues while preparing for larger quantum threats." Late last year the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) directed security leaders to begin adopting new standards for addressing the quantum threat immediately. In recent White House Executive Orders, it has been made clear that it is a priority for the U.S. government to resolve cryptographic debt as the quantum threat approaches and bad actors harvest sensitive data now to stockpile for later decryption. For high-risk use cases, the requirement for meeting these standards was pulled in by 5 years compared to previous guidance – with additional advancement expected in this timeline. Technology vendors involved with National Security Systems are required to support post-quantum cryptography by 2027. Donovan brings years of enterprise and global sales experience to QuSecure. Most recently, he was with Keyfactor, a leading PKI cybersecurity company focused on the Fortune 500; and prior to that he served as Chief Growth Officer at Cognition, where he led go-to-market strategies and activities for an industrial automation/AI company. Donovan has also held key roles with ScentAir, ADP and SAP/Fieldglass. He earned a Bachelor of Science from Penn State University and resides in Charleston, SC. "I'm excited about the rapid growth that Gregory will help QuSecure capitalize on," said Rebecca Krauthamer, co-founder and CEO of QuSecure. "As we see the adoption curve accelerating, his deep experience leading and scaling high-performing sales teams and delivering impressive revenue results come at a critical time for our growth. He has a solid track record of building proven sales strategies that span multiple industries that matter deeply to us, including cybersecurity and AI, and across private and public sectors. We will rely on his extensive experience and deep industry connections as we work to exceed our aggressive goals for 2025 and beyond." QuSecure ensures that sensitive data remains secure even as quantum computing and AI advance. It provides software-only security architecture that overlays onto a customer's pre-existing infrastructure, simplifying the migration to modern cryptographic standards without performance impact. Its flagship product, QuProtect, is the industry's first cryptographic-agility platform that elegantly facilitates the upgrade to PQC and managed cryptographic visibility and orchestration, and QuSecure is proud to have the most crypto-agility deployments of any organization globally. QuSecure's diverse roster of customers includes the United States Army and Air Force, key players in the telecommunications and energy sectors, leading financial institutions, and global cloud services providers.
