NETSEC

NET-SEC is based out of Central Police Plaza 1, taking up 4 floors all to themselves. They handle all aspects of computer support, enforcement, and investigations.

They aren't standard police, in fact, some of them are downright wierd, they are however some of the best netrunners in the city. Accesss to the latest and most powerful equipment and software is a large draw for many a young cyber-prodigy, as well as the prospect of actually having a mission in life. In fact, in a revolutionary program, many convicted hackers are actually sentenced to serve time within Net-Sec. The system so far has met with overwhelming success, however there is always the fear of corruption. As a safeguard against this, all Net-Sec operatives are encouraged to monitor and support each other.

Net-Sec are the cops of the digital domain, and their reign is supreme. Since the prime targets of Data theft and intrusions are the corporations, NET-SEC is given the best and latest equipment in development, usually months before it is released to the public. This serves the coporations two-fold, not only are they protected by the best and the brightest, the software and equipment itself will be fully scrutinized and by the time of release all the bugs and security glitches will be worked out.

The Police Issue NETSEC Cyberdeck is unlike any cyberdeck commercially available anywhere. No one corporation manufacurer builds them, and the safety and performance features are superior to anything in the world, save possibly for ultra top-secret military and corporate equipment. They are also huge, with built in bio-monitors, life-support systems, and 10 times the memory capacity and speed of any commercially available equipment. Instead of a simple interface plug, or even a series of them, this computer makes use of the new MITSUBISHI "SHURIKEN" ADVANCED NEURAL PROCESSOR AND PLUG SETUP and all six of its plugs simultaneaously via a large interface system. As an added safety precaution, there are six layers of buffers and false ports to protect against anti-personell software, feedback, and short circuits. Causing physical damage to a Net-Sec operative through the net is nearly impossible.

Sometimes it is necessary for a Net-Sec officer to operate in the field, for this reason Net-Sec has 5 specially outfitted NAAW VX-2 Gypsies, packed with a constantly updated Net-Sec Cyberdeck system. They are also issued special armored versions (SP: 16 to torso, and head, SP:12 to forearms and lower legs) of the wearable computer systems.

Of course one of the beniefits to working with Net-Sec is that a netrunners personal gear is always state of the art as well, as corporations tend to give "incentment" packages on a regular basis.

NET-SEC officers are issued the following gear:
