Wireless security is broken and it doesn’t matter.

It’s hard to pick up an industry magazine or a newspaper without finding an article about the latest security flaw in one of the wireless protocols. Companies are scrambling to fix the problem by throwing money and resources at new standards and products. Organizations everywhere are wasting financial resources on technologies that prevent their users from taking advantage of wireless networks because of perceived security reasons.

Spotting the pharming websites

The great British broadcaster Alan Partridge once proposed an innovative programme idea for television called Monkey Tennis. Although more varied, less predictable and arguably better TV viewing than normal tennis, the idea was shelved over some pretty sketchy concerns that the monkeys would never be up to the job.

Federal law needs to cover everyone

Federal law needs to cover everyone

We've all heard about the many private companies whose lackadaisical approach to security ended in the theft of customers' critical data. But it has been rare to hear about compromises to government agencies' IT security mechanisms, which ended in a citizen's identity being compromised.

Review: ProxySG 200

Review: ProxySG 200

The smallest appliance on test, Blue Coat's ProxySG 200 is half the width of standard rack mount equipment and uses a notebook-style power supply. Rather than a pure web filtering appliance, the ProxySG 200 is a full-fledged web proxy, with URL filtering built in. This makes it quick to process requests and gives you a single point of management for your proxy and web filtering.

Review: Vital Security Appliance NG-5100

Review: Vital Security Appliance NG-5100

Finjan Software's NG-5100 can be deployed as a single box, but the system supports a distributed environment where one appliance serves as a policy server, while others can scan through load balancing. It can sit as either a standard web proxy, in which case you have to reconfigure all client computers, or as a transparent web proxy.
