Pull on your chief executive’s shoes

Pull on your chief executive’s shoes

Information security professionals are great at taking orders. Business leaders tell us what they want and we'll respond. We'll write rules and policies for use of email, the internet or remote access and we'll act as policemen when these rules are breached. But there's a real need for security professionals to step a little further outside this box.

Taking out the garbage of spam

Taking out the garbage of spam

The rise of email as a mission-critical commercial tool has led to one unfortunate side affect. A daily stream of garbage finds its way into our inboxes. Dealing with spam is the curse of modern business. Some spam even turns your own IT systems into spam transmitters so it is just as important to ensure your systems are not sending garbage out.

Review: Countersnipe APD 1000

The APD 1000 is a 1U, Pentium 4-based server running Linux. As such, the first configuration steps are to connect a keyboard and mouse, and enter a management IP address for its management Fast Ethernet interface. It's quick and easy to do, and then gives access to the ADP 1000's web-based management, the Dashboard.

Review: Intrushield 2700

McAfee's IntruShield 2700 fits into the middle of its range, offering 600Mbps of throughput. It has six Fast Ethernet and two GBIC ports for detection, and three Fast Ethernet ports for responses. You can install it in either tap mode or inline mode, where the box sits between the router and main network. In inline mode, it's recommended that you use the appliance's high-availability mode.

Review: Symantec Network Security 7120

Symantec's NS 7120 uses a similar-looking chassis to its firewall range, complete with the LCD control panel. This means it is the easiest device to initially configure, as you can set an IP address within minutes of turning it on.
