Industry Views: Investment opportunities will remain in security even if glare of terror threat fades

Industry Views: Investment opportunities will remain in security even if glare of terror threat fades

While it may not always be politic to point out, the genius of markets lies in their ability to generate value in the aftermath of even the most horrific tragedies. In the wake of 9/11, for example, the security sector became - almost overnight - a productive and patriotic destination for venture and other forms of capital. Even while the sector's "15 minutes" appear to be ticking toward a close, relatively constant market dynamics within the security space ensure that opportunities will continue to abound for those who know where to look for them.

Review: Finjan Vital Security Web Appliance NG-5100

Review: Finjan Vital Security Web Appliance NG-5100

This appliance is in-depth and focused on malware, lacking VPN and IDS/IPS capabilities. The configurations are granular and take a lot of time to put in place. While the setup and installation of the NG-5100 are very simple, configuration is not an easy task. That said, documentation plays a large role in making the configuration process much less arduous.
