Encryption Plus Hard Disk encrypts entire hard disks or selected partitions. Encryption of the OS files is optional. It also offers pre-boot authentication whether or not the operating system files are encrypted.

A complete Tripwire system consists of two components: Tripwire for Servers, which is an agent that must be installed on all servers that are to be protected; and Tripwire Manager, which provides central management for any number of Tripwire for Servers agents. Communications between server agents and management workstation are secured using the secure sockets layer (SSL) protocol.

Applock/Web works for web servers based on Microsoft IIS running on Windows NT/2000. It locks down both operating system and web server application. It auto-discovers which files are associated with web server functions (this may include web content and web scripts) and locks them down. It works within the operating system at the kernel level.

F-Secure's offering includes several components: a Policy Manager (the hub of the suite), an Anti-Virus Management Wizard and the Policy Manager Reporting Option.

The Trend Micro Control Manager is designed to manage Trend Micro's many and varied anti-virus products. This is another company which has made strong moves into Unix platforms, with products for Linux, Solaris and HPUX.

One thing that cannot be overlooked in network security is the ability to test weaknesses like a hacker. The RETINA Network Security Scanner is one such tool - and probably one of the fastest ones on the block.

Security experts are warning that exploits are becoming more common and more dangerous as they begin to affect security products as well as non-Microsoft software.

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.

Oblix NetPoint is described as an identity management solution for the enterprise. What this means is that it is designed to manage the multiple identities and permissions in a modern e-business environment where you must provide access to a huge variety of different people - many of whom will be entering the network from outside the corporate firewall. In a modern large e-business enterprise it can be a daunting task to do this securely.
Oblix NetPoint simplifies the management of user identities and permissions across multiple applications and provides single sign-on. It makes it easy to add or remove users, to change permissions, and to enforce password rules.

NetScreen uses multi-method detection (MMD) in its IDS appliance, which also includes intrusion prevention options. MMD integrates stateful signature analysis with the detection of protocol anomalies, traffic anomalies, IP spoofing, layer 2 and SYN-flood attacks. Plus, it includes detection of 'backdoor' exploits and a network honeypot. The NetScreen IDP-100 is rated at 200Mbits/sec throughput, offering a choice of eight Fast Ethernet or two separate gigabit monitoring ports.

Policy enforcement is only as good as your management system allows, so a serious vulnerability could go unnoticed without prior knowledge of the problem.

Security Expressions allows deployment using no-agent technology to ensure that, once installed on either Windows NT or 2000 systems, the administrator can add machines within a group, that are required to adhere to the policies that pertain to that group.

Remember the halcyon days of the dot-com boom, when analysts were insisting that no company worth its salt could continue in business unless they had a web presence? Their weighted words were sufficiently terrifying to ensure that businesses rushed to add that all-important 'e' to their trading, resulting in countless new web sites appearing.

Sophos AntiVirus allows you to either install it on each workstation or deliver it from the server. You can designate a PC as your server, but it will only be able to administer 10 PCs in a workgroup and therefore each time you require multiple installations a new 'server' must be assigned for the new workgroup. This means it is ideal for the smaller business model, but although scaleable may not prove ideal for the larger SME.

There is little doubt the enterprise Wireless LAN (WLAN) market is booming. Worldwide WLAN hardware revenue is expected to top $3.7bn USD in 2007 (Infonetics), with over 50% of enterprises deploying WLANs by 2006 (Meta Group). Scientists have been studying the spread of biological disease for over a hundred years. The aim is to predict and thus avoid damaging epidemics, thus the name “epidemiology.” In recent years, some researchers have started applying the tools of epidemiology to help understand another form of common disease: computer viruses and worms. When it comes to solving a problem Scott Rasmussen thinks a bit of common sense can go a long way Certificate Assurance Maintenance (AMA) is an extension to the Common Criteria (CC) Certification Scheme, by which vendors who have previously CC certified their product at a specific revision continue to maintain the same level of assurance their original certification offers their customers, as new revisions of the product are introduced. The National Cyber Security Partnership Monday released recommendations for reducing security vulnerabilities from its task force on Technical Standards and Common Criteria. This is the first part of a two-part article. The second part will discuss specific topics in more detail, including specific system and network security tools such as network port scanners, OS detection, configuration tools and vulnerability assessment. Some security themes keep re-occurring. Gunter Ollmann warns against one of the most common problems
