The principle of Xiscan is a good one. It takes the idea of war dialing software, which hackers have used to their advantage for many years to scan telephone networks in an attempt to locate entry points, and turns it against the enemy.
Xiscan works in the same way that the hackers have always used automated telephone dialers – to probe for weaknesses in the network. The difference is that it is designed to be used within the network, to locate rogue modems and bring users to heel.
The basic idea is that if hackers can use automated dialers to gain an advantage over legitimate users, then why can't the legitimate user do the same? It is a very good question – and there is something very satisfying about the idea of wrestling control of hacker-type tools, and using them for legitimate ends. Xiscan takes the wardialer idea and turns it on its head, using it as a way to monitor the network from within.

Protecting a single PC from harm usually involves installing a software firewall. However, on a server the overhead this causes can be too much, hence Innominate's mGuard PCI firewall, which has its own 266MHz processor and 32MB of RAM. We tested the professional version. There is also an enterprise version with higher specifications and a greatly improved management interface.

This is one for the serious business with a need for high availability and disaster recovery in its overall plan. The capability not only to replicate files but also only the part that has changed, is just one of Double-Take's virtues.

The EdgeForce firewall with Performance Module 1 enabled incorporates a flexible demilitarised zone (DMZ) via a third port. This gives the ability to host public servers (email, FTP and web) from behind the firewall, and with this feature, non-authenticated access to servers behind the firewall can be granted, yet the private network itself is still completely shielded from the internet.

The SafeWord PremierAccess product immediately impresses as a solution that has been well considered from the outset. Developed around the dynamic password concept, it may nevertheless support smartcards and other tokens, and even biometrics. These methodologies may be mixed and matched depending upon the needs of the enterprise.

The problem of recovering accidentally deleted files was solved largely by the implementation of the recycle bin in Windows - allowing users simply to select 'Restore' from the right-click menu. However, there are a number of users that will, without thinking about what they are doing, automatically empty the recycle bin or even use a utility that does it for them at the end of each session. In addition to this, some viruses delete files, bypassing the safety-net of the recycle bin and of course, some malicious users will deliberately remove certain files. In response to this, O&O Software GmbH has written O&O UnErase which provides the user with a means of recovering such files.

The world's first professional institute for information security practitioners received its offical launch yesterday (Monday 27 Jan.) with support coming from both UK industry and government. The International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium - (ISC)2 - has launched a pilot program to provide local networking and professional growth opportunities for its members.

Three security professional associations have launched an alliance to improve enterprise security worldwide.

Track-It comes in three flavors, with varying levels of sophistication: Standard, Professional and Enterprise.

The industry is rallying behind a new professional body, finds David Quainton

No security professional in their right mind would consider embarking on installing wireless access points (APs) in the enterprise without making sure they had some form of protection.

Are professional standards really slipping? Ron Condon reports on a fierce debate Are professional standards really slipping? Ron Condon reports on a fierce debate Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) is becoming an important industry accreditation for professionals working in IT security. But what does it involve and is it worthwhile? Mark Harris, chief information security officer at ASPACE Solutions, chose to do the intensive seven-day crash course and reflects on the experience. This product has Professional or Enterprise editions and the latter has the Management Suite that features remote recovery management for forgotten passwords, mass deployment and more.

The OrangeBox Mail software is designed to provide a complete email filtering system implemented as an SMTP relay at the gateway to the Internet. It runs on Windows 2000 or XP Professional and requires Microsoft Office to be installed for the analysis of Office documents. Remote management is also supported.

When old computers reach the end of their useful life within an organisation, many an IT professional immediately has thoughts of charity on their mind and donating an old computer means someone else can use it to gain skills or keep in contact with the outside world.

However, this is not without its problems. No-one in their right mind would donate the CEO's old desktop without deleting important data such as financial records or confidential emails. Reformatting the disk does not erase this data permanently.

It is something of an industry tradition that each passing year will herald a flurry of software vendors bearing updated editions of their major product lines. Symantec has pitched up with a 2004-suffixed edition of Norton AntiVirus, the latest revision of the electronic infection-fighting tool trusted by millions of PC users around the world.
