SecurityDreamer is growing up fast. Since lauching Security- Dreamer in November 2006, readership has steadily grown. According to Hunt, he has recently added a daily email with recent updates. The site will soon feature more IT and IT security content -- especially information that relates to collaboration and communication across the lines of physical and homeland security with IT.

SecurityDreamer will host forums, or discussion boards, for topics like intelligent video, PSIM, security management best practices, endpoint security, FIPS 201 and needed technology standards.  Watch for a Wiki, too.  We are even going to list more than a hundred vendors and invite your comments on each.
