Big blue purchased Boston based MRO software this week for $740 million, giving IBM a deeper opportunity to monitor the data coming in from facility networks.

MRO, based in Bedford, Mass., makes software that companies use to monitor the location and operation of all kinds of equipment, including airplanes, train cars, trucks, automobiles and power plants.

Location, location, location!  Sensing the state of a device is one thing,  knowing where it is, is better.  There are lots of companies running at this space, Pango, Ekahau and AeroScout are making big splashes.  Interesting announcement from AeroScout regarding tracking location of miners.

Sarcasm reigns at Security Sales and Integration. With the title: "Burglar Alarm Systems Booooring? Pleeease!" it's clear from the outset where writer Bob Dolf believer’s the security market is headed and it can be summed up in one word, networks.

Interesting post on Homeland Security Watch from Friday.  It seems that a test of RFID use in the the U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology program shows security holes at the data layer.
