Boston Marathon a case study in lessons learned following last year's bombing tragedy
SecurityInfoWatch.com
Things were different at the Boston Marathon this year. Meb Keflezighi became the first American man to win the Boston Marathon since 1983 and the second-oldest runner to ever take the crown. And unlike past races where it was a virtually open venue for both spectators and participants alike, strict physical security measures and a robust police presence made for long security lines, barricaded race routes, random searches, bans on backpacks and a zero tolerance for rouge runners who used to be part of the Marathon's charm — remember Rosie Ruiz?

Enterprise Storage Forum

The data in corporate and co-location data centers is easily doubling and tripling in size. Cisco projects that the amount of incoming and stored data stored in the data center is currently approaching 3ZB (as in zetabytes) and will triple by 2017. That is a lot of data to secure.
Courthouse violence unpredictable despite security
The Associated Press via SecurityInfoWatch.com
When Utah's new federal courthouse opened recently, it came with security improvements that are becoming standard around the country: separate entrances and elevators for judges, defendants and the public; bullet-resistant glass and paneling; and vehicle barricades to keep car bombs at bay.
