Accomplished hackers will always perform some sort of reconnaissance on a target network before mounting an attack - finding out details such as operating system types, application version, etc. The idea behind ActiveScout is that if the application can detect this activity it can later prevent it. Bogus host or port data traffic is marked, and the application responds to any future activity it thinks is coming from an attacker with such marked data. It then blocks the packets and stops any damage ever occurring.

Intrusion prevention firm Network Associates is to release its latest version of a managed firewall for end-users, McAfee Desktop Firewall AsaP. Wireless security firm SonicWALL is to sell a virtual private network (VPN) and firewall software solution for mobile employees. Frequently, the media characterizes computer crimes as those involving hacking (gaining unauthorized computer network access), cracking (another word for gaining unauthorized access to a computer or program), or web page defacing (gaining unauthorized access to a web page and changing its content). Network security firm Trend Micro is to introduce several products for small to medium businesses in Singapore.

The LANDesk Management Suite, previously owned by Intel, is the only product in this Group Test which is not in fact an anti-virus solution at all. It offers network management and software deployment, which is basically what anti-virus management is all about anyway.

We looked at version 3.0 of this product in the virtual private network Group Test last year, and it is good to see it being evaluated as a firewall this time around. Astaro might not be a familiar name to most people, but it deserves to be if it continues to produce products such as this.

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.

This solution is supplied as software, desktop or rack-mounted. Each network sensor is a separate appliance, handing high-availability, high-security 10/100 or gigabit monitored segments.Running on a hardened OS, based on Red Hat Linux, in a small installation it can be managed using a web-based interface, software or optionally as an appliance.

Another policy enforcement product, but with some added features that really give it some teeth, is iomart's NetIntelligence. As well as monitoring URL requests, it also looks at the network as a whole (hardware, software and all files) and can instantly detect whether any unauthorized changes have been made, or whether any prohibited content is suddenly present.

Internet usage is growing at an accelerating pace.

This suite of applications consists of the main Sygate Management Server, Security Agent for servers and workstations, a VPN and wireless security application. These enforce security policies at those particular entry points onto the corporate LAN. The idea behind this is to secure as many points of the network from one suite of applications, and it certainly appears to work well enough.

Primary Response is the first product to come from Sana Security (formerly Company 51). The software is based on research that began in the mid-nineties and uses techniques more akin to the human immune system than conventional network security.

The Entercept system, now acquired by Network Associat-es, has in its latest version bought a major revision to how software runs in the enterprise.

Old hand BorderWare has decided to focus on one particular area of network security - email. Whereas most companies are happy enough to bundle email in with the rest of its internet traffic and allow the firewall to handle all of it, BorderWare's MXtreme MX-200 appliance specifically focuses on the problems of email traffic.

The EdgeForce firewall with Performance Module 1 enabled incorporates a flexible demilitarised zone (DMZ) via a third port. This gives the ability to host public servers (email, FTP and web) from behind the firewall, and with this feature, non-authenticated access to servers behind the firewall can be granted, yet the private network itself is still completely shielded from the internet.

A security specification currently in the works strives to help companies safeguard their networks from worms, viruses, software vulnerabilities and denial of service attacks by allowing users to enforce security policies that stop untrusted systems from connecting to their infrastructures. Due to the abundance of Internet security attacks, the news over the past year has been flooded with warnings and reports of numerous network vulnerabilities.

Based on a Toshiba Magnia SG20 solution developer kit, this unit runs a special version of Linux created by Astaro. It includes a firewall, VPN, DHCP server, traffic management and content filter. The latter includes web blocking and anti-spam.
The firewall uses stateful packet inspection and includes proxies for HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, POP3, DNS, IDENT and SOCKS. It has user authentication and offers protection from the most common forms of DoS attacks. Of course, it provides network address translation. In addition it detects port scanning.

If anyone was under the illusion that data storage was boring, think again. The new technology engaged in protecting your critical data takes a fresh and enthusiastic approach to data security - ensuring that what you deem sensitive, value or trusted, is also worthy of iron clad protection within your storage infrastructure.
If you think that there's anything exciting to see as the data passes through the box, you'd be disappointed. In fact try finding CryptoStor within the Fibre Channel (FC) network or backup application and you may just hit a small snag - it's nowhere to be seen. But that's the point.
