Events Per Second, or EPS, as it is commonly referred to in the world of network security, is a measurement that is used to convey how fast a network generates data from its security devices (firewalls, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), servers, routers, etc.), and/or how fast an SEM product can correlate data from those devices. A savvy buyer will match the EPS his network is generating to those that can be accommodated by the SEM tool that he is purchasing. Spammers are using Sender Policy Framework (SPF), a new email authentication protocol, to make their messages appear legitimate, according to a study by email security firm MX Logic.

With its dual power supplies and 2GB of main memory, this diskless device can be expanded from its base configuration of four 10/100 Base-T Ethernet ports to support up to 36 10/100 Base-T Ethernet ports and eight copper/fibre Gigabit ports. The system runs under Nokia's IPSO operating system and is administered using the comprehensive browser-based Voyager management interface. It uses Nokia's Accelerated Data Path (ADP) technology to increase throughput on established VPN tunnels. VPN services are provided by Check Point's Firewall-1 NG software, whose management software should be run on separate devices for maximum efficiency.

This KVM switch, the Avocent DSR4010 is 1U rack-mount device offering connections to up to 16 servers per unit. Avocent have made it possible to connect existing legacy Avocent KVM switches from their Outlook and Autoview ranges to the DSR device, allowing up to 24 servers to be connected to each port. Servers and network appliances are connected to the switch using Avocent's DSRIQ modules, which are available for serial devices and servers (modules are also available for Sun systems). The DSRIQ modules provide whatever signal conversions are needed between the connected devices and the switch.

This is aimed at the enterprise, while its smaller sibling, the TM-C, is intended for the SME market. Both are integrated web traffic management platforms that accelerate and streamline the delivery of content for web sites.
Installing the unit was straightforward. Set-up required the usual command line interface via a serial link to get things going, but then you could activate a browser-based GUI. This provided comprehensive system management and control functions using a password-protected SSL interface. There is also an option to access the console through an SSH tunnel.

Chicago Bears staff are using authentication keys to secure data.

Of course, we are not all seduced by looks, but this box - with its burnt-orange fascia and wavy ventilation-hole detail - could win an award just for sheer . The Rainbow-Chrysalis Luna SA Hardware Security Module is a tamper-resistant 2U rack mount unit. Installation presented no problems and configuration was carried out using a serial cable link to a command line interface.

Chrison takes security seriously with three specific portable devices available, all using different technology and design methodology. The BioPico, as its name suggests, is a 128MB biometric USB storage device, small enough to look unimpressive, but big enough to be used safely without being too small.

Whether you call it layered perimeter defences, virtual teams, secure compartments, secure enclaves, or even virtual LANs, the concepts share the same goals: isolate and protect information assets from unauthorised access using more than single perimeter protection. In the first article of this series, we identified and provided examples of the types of issues that need to be resolved if organisations are to correctly manage risk in the area of information security. If we combine the impact of these trends and issues with the fact that most enterprises are being forced to cut costs in order to remain competitive the true magnitude of the problem becomes apparent. Simply put, information security managers have to secure more complex environments, faster and using less resources.

To many employees, the RSA SecurID tokens are a familiar sight, as is the procedure for logging in to a TCP/IP network using a onetime dynamic password technique embodied by this approach.

The Digipass pack product from Vasco is perhaps less of a product in the accepted sense and more of a security philosophy – the philosophy in question being that of dynamic, one-time password creation using portable tokens.

FileAssurity Open PGP is designed to be a low-cost alternative to PGP, while retaining full compatibility with PGP. With it, you can generate, import and export X.509 and PGP keys and it also supports encryption/decryption and digital signing/verifying of standard PGP files. Files or folders may be encrypted for storage or transmission by email. Bulk data encryption is carried out using 256-bit AES, with public-key-based Diffie-Hellman being used for session key exchange. RSA and DSS are used for digital signatures. Another feature is secure deletion according to U.S. government DOD 5220.22M. All 32-bit Windows platforms are supported.

As with the BioPico, PicoDisk TECH 2 requires no driver installation for Windows 2000, Me or XP and it is only when using Windows 98/SE or Mac operating systems that drivers must be installed from the CD provided.
The TECH 2 is a small USB token similar to the iKey design many people are familiar with and a USB extension cable for those hard to get at USB ports on many PCs.

The smallest Group Test product was the MSX-256 Memory Stick PRO. It comes in a small, neat, case. The documentation was not very helpful and, had we not used this type of hardware before, we may have become stuck, because the case itself was not that easy to open. Apart from this minor setback Memory Stick compatible hardware is also required, whether using a laptop, PC, digital mobile phone or digital camera. That said, a PC card adapter or a USB reader/writer is all that is needed for laptop use and, given the protection that is afforded, it's a small price to pay.

With seven years behind it, Cyber Angel software has developed into a neat little package, which, apart from its tracking capabilities, also offers a CyberAngel Secured Drive. This requires password authentication but, once in, allows the user to keep all confidential data in total privacy in this protected drive. With on-the-fly encryption, the user does not need to worry about any data being revealed if the laptop falls into the wrong hands, using a choice of encryption algorithms to protect it such as Rijndael - AES 128 or 256 bit encryption, Blowfish 128 or 448 bit, Twofish 128 or 256 bit, Triple DES or DES. The virtual drive created by CyberAngel is accessed with the users password and is supported by 32-bit device drivers for fast access with little or no drop in performance.

My email went belly up the other weekend, despite the fact that yours truly has been using the Internet since the late 1980s and had taken solid precautions against problems occurring. Attacks using social engineering techniques can be difficult to defend against, as Gunter Ollmann discovers. Recent news events have highlighted individuals actively engaged in criminal pursuits using false identities to disguise themselves and conceal their unlawful acts.

Now in version 11, pcAnywhere is one of the longest-running remote access applications for the PC. We can remember using an early DOS edition in the mid-to-late 1980s.
