Having a laptop stolen can be stressful and demoralizing. But for many well-prepared, security conscious company executives it needn't be.

The tight security at casinos needs to be extended to how the IT systems are used and accessed. John Sterlicchi reports on a case in point

Cyber-Ark's Inter-Business Vault is designed to protect confidential files in an extranet environment, where secure file sharing with remote offices and business partners is demanded. This requires a combination of secure file storage, encryption for files in transit, authentication and access control. There are many products that tackle these problems individually. For example, a virtual private network (VPN) encrypts files in transit, and access controls are built into modern operating systems. However, OS access controls can often be bypassed simply because unhardened operating systems are themselves so easy to compromise. Inter-Business Vault aims to address all of these problems by integrating a VPN, authenticated access controls and encrypted file storage in a very secure solution.

Spam within the enterprise has undoubtedly evolved from an annoyance to a critical business problem. No approach to spam can work in isolation as unlike viruses, no single technology is able to stem the tide. I believe that by utilising the following top ten techniques an organisation can arm itself successfully against the menace of spam. A freely available peer-to-peer (P2P) hacking tool has become the weapon of choice for many hackers looking to take control of users' PCs. German immigration authorities are piloting a biometric passport control system at Frankfurt airport. The U.K.’s Swanwick Air Traffic Control center is an unfortunate example of the problems that can occur with the continuity of a business while undergoing a period of change.

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.
