Re: Security
Fortunately the weather wasn't an issue last night, but it's good to know that camera technology has evolved to see better in the dark, had their been a repeat performance of the 2013 power outage.

Re: Security
The power issue is a really important one, so I am glad you raised it. In addition to the power grid aspect in the article you linked to, steps need to be taken on-site as well as any number of things can impact power to an event -- whether a utility issue, an on-site equipment breakdown or a security threat. However, new advancements in camera technology tied to uninterrupted power supply (UPS) via power over Ethernet (PoE) technology can provide high-quality color video in amazing clarity even when the lights go out. Cost-effective thermal technology can also be used in complete darkness. Both PoE and UPS combine to represent additional best practices to secure an environment, and connected to new types of cameras can give operations personnel visibility in the dark they couldn't even imagine a few short years ago.

It's great to hear the advances in security monitoring that technology can bring to bear, and how it can help make the event safer. I was a little surprised not to see (unless I missed it!) an article on IW covering the impact on the cellular networks of an event like this. Even with the main providers undoubtedly rolling in their COWs, you know the networks are going to be so totally oversaturated it'll be a disaster. Somebody must be able to offer a good PAYG WiFi system within the stadium, to provide better speeds and enhanced offload, you'd hope. Is there such a thing? Will gigabit WiFi make that more practical?

Power Play
Add to this list efforts by electric grid and local utility officials who need to make sure MetLife Stadium doesn't suffer from the type of pwoer outage fiasco that hit the Superdome last year.  Last year's incident was more of failure of the local power grid, but for a while, no one knew if it was a terrorist (security) incident, some diabolical fans unhappy with the Baltimore Raven's lead, or just a overblown circuits.  But it does point to a bigger issue.

Everything You Need to Know About DNS Attacks
It's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask. Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted. Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic
