Still Time To Nominate The 2007 Security Director of the Year!
Each year, we honor one outstanding security director who best exemplifies the qualities that every security director should strive to acquire.

If you know someone who fits that description, there is still time to nominate him or her for the honor.

Plans For A Fla.-Based Security Training Campus
A proposed $100 million facility envisioned as an extensive security training center has targeted 3,000 acres in Charlotte County, Fla., for a university-style campus with such areas as gun ranges, caves, tunnels and a watercraft assault lake.

The center would train FBI, CIA, military and local and state law enforcement officers -- turning even private security guards into GI Joes able to protect ports, refineries and other vulnerable areas in the United States.

Millions of dollars in federal contracts are up for grabs for the proposed center, named The Grove.

Cisco And Microsoft Executives To Present At Conference
The Security Standard conference brings together senior corporate, security and IT professionals to examine how to develop an effective security strategy that can advance overall business needs and goals of an organization. The second annual conference, which will be held Sept. 10-11, 2007, in Chicago at the Fairmont Hotel, will feature keynotes from Cisco Systems' executives and a Microsoft security executive.

A special Thought Leaders' Roundtable on Sept. 10 will feature Cisco's security pros discussing the changing threat landscape. The roundtable participants will include Cisco executives Richard Palmer, senior vice president of the security technology group; Jeff Platon, vice president and CMO of the security and application networking group; and Scott Weiss, co- founder and CEO of IronPort Systems.

Security Appliances Market Growth Expected
Research and Markets has announced the addition of "Worldwide Security Appliance Market: What Businesses are Buying and Why" to their offering.

Security appliances are an integral part of the noisy and crowded network security market. Over the last several quarters, two key trends are impacting the overall security market. One is the integration of security into underlying equipment and infrastructure. Another is the continuing cost and complexity of managing security in a multi-vendor, multi-product environment, which many believe will open the door for managed security services from trusted brands.

Lockheed Martin opened the Biometric Experimentation and Advanced Concepts (BEACON) center in White Hall, W. Va., to serve as a collaborative center for the corporation, its customers, academia and other industry partners to develop integrated biometrics solutions for both current and future initiatives.

"Biometric technology offers great promise for the future, especially in initiatives that are important to the security of our nation," says Judy Marks, president of Lockheed Martin Transportation and Security Solutions. "Research and development is key to realizing this type of technology's full potential."
