Steps for ensuring storage network security

Steps for ensuring storage network security

Most companies routinely assess their data security with overall security policy health checks, site surveys, and reviews of processes, systems, networks, and applications. Yet each of these activities rests on fundamental assumptions about where the data resides and how the data "behind the server" is secured.

Moving towards two-factor authentication

Moving towards two-factor authentication

Protecting data in the digital age is essential. Recent years have seen a decline in “recreational hacking” and a new wave of commercial hacking as illustrated in the example of the keystroke logger placed at the Sumitomo bank in an effort to steal £220m earlier this year and the various efforts at Denial of Service (DoS) blackmail.

Why IPS won't break your network

Why IPS won't break your network

Back in 2003 Gartner declared Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) as dead. Whether this is true, it is an increasing reality that intrusion protection or prevention systems are increasingly becoming a part of many company's networks. While IDS may be waning, IPS (Intrusion Protection Systems) are on the up, yet there is still a pervasive feeling that such technology can cause a network to break or malfunction.

Securing instant messaging

It was only recently that IM was the preserve of teens and net-savvy companies. But like so many applications that start small, IM has made the leap from cool tool to useful business application. US analyst Gartner suggests that IM "will rival email in terms of both volume and ubiquity." In 2005 alone, it believes half of all companies will be using enterprise-level IM clients.

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.
