Review: PC-Duo
We evaluated a previous version of PC-Duo and were generally impressed with its intuitive interface and no-nonsense functions. We are pleased to report that the previous strengths – an attractive and intuitive interface – remain. The functionality has also been well considered and will be truly useful in a broad range of operational scenarios.

Review: LANsurveyor
LANsurveyor 9 is a subtly different program from others tested here. At its heart is a graphical mapping capability that allows you to create "maps" of your network to various levels of detail.

Whereas in the past IT managers and security personnel largely autonomously determined a company’s IT security policy, IT administrators are now faced with the necessity of analyzing the relevant industry-specific regulations and implementing these in a range of concrete measures.

The Patch Payback Problem
On the second Tuesday of every month, Microsoft releases its latest compilation of security patches, prompting security professionals to quickly evaluate the impact of each on their entire infrastructure, put together a test and implementation plan, and efficiently close up those pesky vulnerabilities before the bad guys can get through.

How to clean up after Sumitomo Mitsui
When the truth finally comes out about the attempted theft of £220 million from Sumitomo Mitsui Bank in March, it's likely to have all the hallmarks of an inside job – certainly that the crime relied on having people on the inside to carry it out.
