Symantec is spending $1.3 million to create a new "security operations center" at its Springfield, Oregon facility to store sensitive customer data. The highly secure 3,364 square foot center will have stringent security measures like fingerprint scans and will be staffed by a dozen employees working in shifts around the clock. Officials chose the Springfield location because Symantec already has a large presence there supporting enterprise customers. The new center will back up sensitive customer data and serve as a backup for Symantec's other six global security operations centers.
