So you have a mobile workforce, you have invested in laptops, PDAs, mobiles and smartphones and your staff are out there chasing and winning business. Despite remaining a core issue for IT managers, a recent study by the United Kingdom’s Department of Trade and Industry indicates that as many as 78 percent of the U.K. companies surveyed have experienced at least one malicious security incident, with 44 percent experiencing them within the last year (2002/2001). One of the largest healthcare providers in South-eastern Pennsylvania has rolled out new measures to increase the security of patient records.

TOS stands for 'trusted operating system.' It can also be used to protect servers that are providing DNS, as well as file servers, database servers, proxy servers and mail servers. TOS can protect any static files, including whole directories, drives, Windows registries and, of course, web pages.

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.

If anyone was under the illusion that data storage was boring, think again. The new technology engaged in protecting your critical data takes a fresh and enthusiastic approach to data security - ensuring that what you deem sensitive, value or trusted, is also worthy of iron clad protection within your storage infrastructure.
If you think that there's anything exciting to see as the data passes through the box, you'd be disappointed. In fact try finding CryptoStor within the Fibre Channel (FC) network or backup application and you may just hit a small snag - it's nowhere to be seen. But that's the point.

When considering security in any area, be it IT, ATMs or even opening your own front door, there is always one weak spot: it has to involve people. Despite all the research, we are years away from being able to recognize a person's identity with 100 per cent certainty (even if using finger-printing, retinal scanning or DNA testing) in real time.
Unfortunately, the drive to encourage remote working means that more and more people need access to the corporate network, with all of the security risks that that entails: how can you be sure who the person is on the other end? One solution - or rather, preventative measure - is to simply publish only necessary information on an extranet, but even then, this can still be confidential data and a risky business.

Sygate Technologies says that its policy enforcement ensures remote connections over a VPN are not exposed to hijacking of data. It ensures remote authentication is only made if the user conforms to the policy set in force. This makes a lot of sense.

What Sygate Secure Enterprise provides is the ability to maintain certain rules, even for remote users. These include whether their firewall is current and configured correctly, if the remote user's anti-virus is up to corporate specifications and, equally important, up to date. These are just a few example of areas where compliance may be required.

The UK is finally moving into the brave new world of quantum cryptology after the commercial release of quantum encryption devices. Now Wireless will be offering MagiQ Technologies after securing a distribution deal with the New York company.

As wireless networks grow in popularity, many security professionals are justly worried about the ease in which non-technical users can set up and operate wireless networks. Also securing wireless infrastructures can be tricky, because the set up of wireless networks can be problematical and not as secure as one might think.

Voice over IP (VoIP) is rapidly becoming a pervasive technology as businesses embrace cost savings on calls whilst enjoying advanced communications applications sitting within the network. Securing your perimeter is not what it used to be. John Sterlicchi finds out about the range of new ways to control your borders It has taken a while for smaller businesses to acknowledge the importance of securing networks.

Securing data when it leaves an organisation is always a problem. Despite user education, a laptop can all too easily be left in a cab and, if not properly secure, information is left in the clear for all to see. Even when software encryption is used, there is still a chance that it can be decrypted.

Many products in this test focus on securing locally stored (or local network) data via encryption techniques. Enterprises worldwide are spending approximately $20 billion per year on IT security, yet very costly breaches continue to occur. In large part, this is because security efforts have mainly been focused on network security rather than data privacy. Data privacy is the process of securing critical data as it is being stored, transmitted, and used within the enterprise.

Entrust is known for its expertise in managing and securing digital identities, and the Entrust USB token is a two-factor authentication product worthy of the company's reputation. The token is based upon the Rainbow Technologies iKey 2032 device, a proven product.

AssureAccess is access management software that provides application security for J2EE/Javabased web, portal and web services applications as well as securing traditional web servers.

While it makes perfect sense that the United States FBI needs a comprehensive security strategy, many companies and organizations initially did not see the need for securing their intellectual assets. Many companies are spending on corporate security in a fragmented and often directionless way, partly because of the bewildering complexity of security solutions.
