USB flash in the Lan

USB flash in the Lan

You wouldn’t consider buying a laptop at your nearest consumer electronics store and bringing it into the office to work on, right? What about a RAID disk or a CD drive? – didn’t think so. Yet one device that nearly everyone buys privately and keeps in their pockets these days to store both their personal data and confidential corporate data is seldom controlled or secured by the corporation: USB flash drives.

Review: ArcSight ESM

Review: ArcSight ESM

ArcSight's flagship product, the ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager, is a security event management (SEM) tool capable of analyzing large mounts of network data in real time. The IDS model fell down because the flood of unfiltered alerts overwhelmed the resources of security teams, but SEM provides correlation, filtering and analysis to, in theory, allow the few real threats to be picked out of the blizzard of less important alerts and false positives.
