Be careful what you measure

Be careful what you measure

Quality-assurance audits are a bit like visits to the dentist; you know you need them, and that they will do you good, but that doesn't make the day itself any more fun. A recent audit I was involved in brought with it the usual flurry of activity to close off outstanding actions and generate the relevant reports.

Cast the runes to assess future risk

Cast the runes to assess future risk

As a keen future-gazer, I'm often asked how I justify spending time on all this crystal-ball nonsense. Surely it can't be relevant to my day-to-day work? And clearly it's impossible to predict the future.

DKIM authentication is a good start at fixing email

This product is based upon a substantial rack-mount hardware appliance running Linux, and a Windows-based console and reporting capability with which to administer the system. Agents are then placed on target machines across the network and acknowledged at the console.

Review: Applied Watch

The open source philosophy is still gaining ground. But for some, it still smacks less of enterprise-level IT than the enthusiast working alone in their shed at night.

Review: XSGuard X-Series

Review: XSGuard X-Series

The last time we tested XSGuard’s IPS appliance, we could not complete the test due to internet connection difficulties (SC, July 2005, p58). This time, we used a similar methodology as in the earlier test, but went into more detail.

Keeping out the data thieves

Keeping out the data thieves

The digitization of virtually all of modern businesses’ intellectual property puts us in a situation today where we are vulnerable to a new breed of security threat. High capacity digital storage devices, such as the USB flash drives, home broadband connections with VPN and the threat of malware are all mechanisms by which thieves can get their hands on your data.
