Data security, identity management and access control will be the face of IT security in the not so distant future as threats move further away from targeting the infrastructure, an EMC global security expert has claimed. Extending change management practices to IT environments is an essential part of any data security policy and this applies especially to firewalls. D-Link’s DFL-2500 offers more network control than we expected, and does it at a good price for its class. The Firebox range is always easy to pick out of a group, with its trademark red casing. The unit ships with a full complement of hardware, some enabled through software licenses. We were pleased to see that this unit’s web GUI was one of the few being tested that defaults to a secure HTTPS connection. There is also a fully featured console available through serial connection, although it has a blank default password. That can be set, but a lot of users might forget, leaving their systems vulnerable. The Total Stream Protection (TSP) line was part of the package when Secure Computing bought CyberGuard. This model is a beefy 3U box, supporting up to 38 ports with a total filtered throughput of 2.8Gbps (or half that for AES-encrypted VPNs). Hot-swappable redundant power and RAID storage is standard, and the box fully supports high-availability in various configurations. The ZyWALL 35 is a mid-range model with four LAN and two WAN ports, and a throughput of 70Mbps. To ensure the success of their new IPTV/VoD services, providers must build into their networks a comprehensive, network-centric security strategy right from the start. Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) is placing many systems at risk of attack because networking software has IPv6 enabled but users don't know it, warns a security researcher. Enterprise security firm Secure Computing has announced plans to purchase Securify, provider of identity-based network monitoring solutions. Like the sky box in a sports stadium, Skybox SRM offers an overall view of everything. For information security directors at large corporations, the growing reliance on contractors is a major concern. Local and offshore programmers provide businesses a competitive edge, but they also increase security risks. Officials from Barracuda Networks are suggesting that Trend Micro's patent complaint, which demands removal of virus-detection technologies from Barracuda and Panda firewalls, really aims to give Trend Micro a monopoly on gateway AV scanning. The idEngines Ignition product provides middleware for 802.1x authentication. The product creates an environment where wireless access points, switches and firewalls can authenticate to the Ignition application, which can then relay the 802.1x authentication request to the correct back-end authentication server. MIT's Lincoln Laboratory has developed a network mapping tool that enables managers to track likely hacking routes. Cloud computing and security - what are the issues? Information at the moment is sketchy to say the least. Antivirus product sales will slow in Australia in the next five years as enterprises broaden their use of security technologies. The Best Western hotel chain has reportedly suffered what is being claimed as the world's largest cybercrime, resulting in the identity theft of eight million customers. DNS cache poisoning is not just for web browsers anymore. According to researcher Dan Kaminsky, there are a variety of programs that make requests of DNS servers, including games and a number of desktop applications. Malware writers and hackers turning their sights to Apple Macs, warns security firm Sophos.
