It’s two a.m. Do you know where your corporate data is? Security, physical, cyber, and otherwise, is on everyone’s mind these days. Fundamentally, there exist just two basic approaches to performing security assessments: vulnerability priority and asset priority. All too often, we shoot ourselves in the foot as information security professionals by the language we use with executives. Security is a serious issue for every organization today. Wireless PCs and wireless laptops are being increasingly used in both business and the home.

In last year's anti-virus management group test, Hauri's product impressed us with a slick interface and strong set of features. In this test, first impressions were similar. Configuration was quick and easy and the interface excellent - limited options compared to other products, but ample for most users. No reboot was required and the software demanded confirmation that the empty admin password required was in fact correct.

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?

First there was Sniffer, Network Associates' traffic capture and analysis tool, which rapidly carved itself a position as the tool of choice for network engineers of all kinds. Then there was Sniffer Wireless, bringing the capabilities of the Sniffer engine to 802.11 wireless networks, a logical extension to the Sniffer brand which already supported a range of environments including LANs, remote networks and telecom networks. Now we have Sniffer Wireless PDA, porting that wireless analysis suite to a handheld platform, targeting network managers and security professionals with an overriding need for portability.

Security has been the mainstay of SurfControl's business for quite some time, so it is no surprise to see an email security solution. A policy-based application, SurfControl E-mail Filter is actually an SMTP host through which all mail is diverted.

Installation is amazingly simple. It's just a matter of entering the required information into a few windows and telling the product where it sits in relation to the email server. For reasons of economy, it can be installed on the same machine as the mail server, but for reasons of reliability this isn't recommended.
