Review: DESlock+

Review: DESlock+

We have looked at DESlock+ before, with its DESkey USB tokens and file encryption software. And while the previous version impressed us enough to win Best Buy in our Data Encryption test last year, it is safe to say that the product has been improved by leaps and bounds since then.

Review: SafeBoot

Control Break's SafeBoot offers a lot of features, but we were a bit put off by several being cited as available at an extra cost, including some basic-looking items such as a scripted administration tool, or a database backup utility.

To catch a thief?

When we turn our minds to matters of e-security, our first thoughts tend to be about defenses such as firewalls and intrusion detection. And rightly so. After all, there is much wisdom in the pursuit of prevention before cure. But, what happens when our defenses are breached? How should we respond to such an incident?

Cleaning up the network

Cleaning up the network

Many industry professionals sensibly opt to converse in analogies, simplifying the clear-as-mud world of four letter acronyms to instead – for example - paint the world of broadband as a motorway with dirt track off-ramps, and draw parallels between airlines and telcos to describe the highly differentiated services-led approaches needed to combat the commoditization of bandwidth.

Take control of your security

Take control of your security

Let's face it, managing security policies can give you a headache. Coping with the rules and properties and policies affecting hundreds of devices - firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, and anti-virus servers - is hard enough, and that's before trying to manage them, or change their state.

Changing facts of web crime must be faced

The internet's no longer dominated by script kiddies looking for bragging rights. So said experts at both the recent RSA Conference in California and the Cyber Security Summit in Florida. Today's attackers want money, not an underground following.
