Following closely behind was my little think-piece on the business realities for IP security manufacturers and suppliers. That was gratifying, thanks.
Home Office announcements about tougher tests for migrant workers drew a lot of reader attention, particularly with the memory of SIA difficulties on illegal immigrants working as security officers still fresh in the memory.

The top 10 best-read stories for the month were round out by Honeywell’s launch of a new, cost-effective CCTV range; and the Mitie Group issuing an Interim Management Statement.
Who will come out on top next month? You have the power to decide. Read your favourite stories over and over again, if you like. We don’t mind at all.
