A Message of Support: Coalfire Consultants Charged

Two Coalfire consultants conducted an authorized physical penetration test against an Iowa judicial branch building, intentionally triggering an alarm to test response time; they were arrested due to a dispute between Dallas County and the state over authorization. Charges were later reduced and ultimately dropped, and the report discusses industry concern, TrustedSec support for the consultants, and the importance of confirming testing scope and authorization for physical security assessments.
