Until fairly recently there were relatively few publications or reference sources covering the areas of brand protection, counterfeit deterrence, authentication, tamper resistance, retail theft or document security. Today, there are increasing numbers of research reports, technical handbooks, directories, newsletters, abstracts and, in the past few years, a dedicated Product & Image Security magazine.

Worldwide Security Exchange brings together information and order material on these published resources, together with abstracts or reviews where appropriate. All the publications and reports listed have been read and approved by the Exchange and can be recommended to those seeking sources of relevant information.

Product & Image Security magazine is a dedicated worldwide bi-monthly journal which carries the latest news, features and up-to-date technical reviews. It should be recommended reading for everyone involved in counterfeit deterrence, brand protection and authentication.
