IT security is the main barrier to the adoption of flexible working practices, according to a recent survey commissioned by Microsoft. All too often, we shoot ourselves in the foot as information security professionals by the language we use with executives. "Success in warfare is gained by carefully accommodating ourselves to the enemy's purpose. If the enemy shows an inclination to advance, lure him on to do so; if he is anxious to retreat, delay on purpose that he may carry out his intentions." Sun Tzu, The Art of War Last month, we looked at just how easy it is for a hacker to gain entrance to an unprotected network. Information security is a reactive world. A technology gap exists in businesses today between the "haves"--deep-pocket enterprises--and the "have nots"--businesses on a budget. Knowing when to call in a professional can be the most important decision an organization can make when it comes to security breaches – you can’t take chances if there’s a known breach or overwhelming evidence that one has occurred. In the summer of 2003 a new email virus hit the front pages of the newspapers worldwide. One of the most noteworthy IT security developments of 2003 is the convergence between spamming and viral techniques, leading to a much more dangerous threat for email users. Security experts are warning PC users this week about another zero-day Internet Explorer (IE) vulnerability that can be exploited to execute arbitrary code to compromise systems. Bucking standard operating procedure, Microsoft released a patch Thursday for the recently exposed meta file vulnerability on numerous operating systems. Microsoft is warning users about an unpatched vulnerability within Internet Explorer. The warning arrives after research company SEC Consult published a demonstration how hackers could use the vulnerability to implant malware. Macromedia announced a vulnerability in its Flash Player 7 program earlier this month, warning users that they could leave PCs open to malicious code. Security and vulnerability patching has become one of the top concerns for IT managers, but has also left many IT teams fighting a losing battle as the job of patching competes with daily system maintenance and security tasks.

As firewalls go, the CyberGuard SL3200 is a monster: a huge, noisy beast with performance that matches its rugged looks. The name denotes its capacity - 3.2 gigabits of total throughput, shared among a maximum of 26 Ethernet ports. Even more notably, it is able to multiplex several interfaces into a small number of very high-capacity pipes, all secured at wire speed.
Designed for high-demand environments, the box has all the HA features you'd expect - hot-swappable fans and power supplies, as well as RAID 5 storage, with an internal layout designed for maximum airflow and heat dissipation. Fail-over between two boxes is available if you have an extended license.

A vulnerability in virtual private networks (VPNs) from several large vendors could leave large parts of the internet open to denial of service attacks, numerous software companies warned Tuesday. Cisco unveiled the second stage of its Network Admission Control (NAC) initiative, porting software to its range of Catalyst switches and wireless products. In addition, three new partners were bought into the fold to add vulnerability scanning to the framework. Lockdown Auditor is a 1U rack-mountable device that connects into a network and scans IP addresses for vulnerabilities. Watermarking is playing a more significant role, but is a far cry from the protection most critical data requires, says Barbara Gengler
