Speaking of a supply chain security challenge, one of United Iron and Metal’s warehouses is outdoors in a hard-scrabble urban neighborhood of Baltimore, and it sprawls over more than 20 acres with one boundary chockablock against railroad tracks. Unwanted visitors were a relentless headache... until John Creighton, the director of security at United Iron and Metal, did something about it.

A man was charged with using a laser pointer that injured three pilots from two different aircraft: two police officers flying in a helicopter and the co-pilot of a commercial Air Canada flight that was leaving LaGuardia Airport.

For the fourth time in less than a year, Mineta San Jose International Airport suffered a security breach after a man got inside the airport's perimeter fence before a guard detained him. 

Rapid growth in the volume of sensitive information combined with new technologies has chipped away at the effectiveness of traditional endpoint protections and network perimeter security. 

A new report about security at the White House  concluded that a better, taller fence needs to be erected as soon as possible.

 For remote or unmanned facilities, getting early warning of possible intruders could make the difference in stopping a theft or other malicious security breach.  

In normal operating conditions, the barrier can be raised in four seconds. The barriers also have the extra capacity to lift vehicles, and they are equipped with a backup system that automatically switches to battery power during any outage.

 Two kayakers have been cited for trespassing after breaching a security perimeter at New York's Kennedy Airport.
