Potentially sensitive corporate data is being placed unnecessarily at risk because less than a quarter of companies currently encrypt their backup tapes, newly published research has claimed. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security failed to meet user needs or to conduct enough security testing by rushing development of a secure network for sensitive data, according to a report by the DHS inspector general. Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business has sent out 19,000 notices to students, faculty and graduates about a security breach that may have exposed their personal data. Government agencies, financial services companies, data aggregators, and other firms must do a better job combatting identity theft, according to an IT industry group.

Instead of examining disk drives for suspicious data, NetWitness monitors network traffic for suspicious events. It is easily installed from CD-Rom, requiring an activation key before it will function. It generates a unique computer ID number that has to be sent to their support centre, which will return an email with an activation key that locks the software to the workstation. The installation also offers a version of WinPcap if needed.

DESlock+ is nicely presented in a box with the software, a ring-bound manual and two USB tokens. This product has Professional or Enterprise editions and the latter has the Management Suite that features remote recovery management for forgotten passwords, mass deployment and more. Although many enterprises are enthusiastic about rolling out continuous data protection (CDP) systems to improve the effectiveness of their data backup services, many do not understand how the technology actually works, according to IDC. The FBI is investigating a computer security breach at Stanford University's Career Development Center that exposed personal data of nearly 10,000 people. Single sign-on (SSO) has long been a holy grail for security teams in large complex organizations. But the obstacles in the way of its universal deployment have so far proved to be too great - in particular the challenge of interfacing and synchronizing data held in the various directories that larger companies typically deploy. An organized supply chain has developed among the criminals using online attacks to steal credit card numbers and other sensitive data, according to Teros President and CEO Bob Walters. Police at the University of California at Berkeley are investigating the theft of a laptop that contained names and Social Security numbers of more than 98,000 graduate students and applicants. Senator Jon Corzine (D-N.J.) plans to introduce legislation that aims to prevent ID theft by requiring companies to implement security systems that protect customers' personal data. SafeGuard Private Disk and SafeGuard Easy are well considered and professionally presented. SecureDoc looks innocent and basic in its DVD-sized packaging containing a CD, a Rainbow 2000 series USB token and a weak-looking installation and setup guide. The PGP desktop products (version 8.0 Congress should take a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity instead of its current way of dealing with spyware, phishing, and data warehouse security on a piecemeal basis, according to the Cyber Security Industry Alliance (CSIA).

We have looked at DESlock+ before, with its DESkey USB tokens and file encryption software. And while the previous version impressed us enough to win Best Buy in our Data Encryption test last year, it is safe to say that the product has been improved by leaps and bounds since then.

NMS for PC v2.8 is a file encryption system with some interesting bells and whistles. The software integrates into the Windows logon process, using logon to ensure that access to encrypted data is limited to authorized users.

More efficient management, more productive staff and improved data security; just some of the advantages of Identity Management. On the other hand it can often involve high implementation costs and levels of project complexity. Only consistent ROI calculations can accurately define the benefits of such a solution. While it is relatively easy to establish concrete ROI criteria for the topic of efficiency, it is much more complicated to do so for the topic of security.
