Review: Client Migration 3.01

Review: Client Migration 3.01

Migrating users to new versions of applications or operating systems can be a complex, time-consuming and tedious process for systems administrators. And, from a security perspective, it is crucial that the migration of end-users and application settings is done properly in order to prevent vulnerabilities from creeping in.

Review: NetIntelligence MailFilter

Review: NetIntelligence MailFilter

MailFilter is a service with lots of good ideas, but it needs some final polish to really shine.

Review: intY MailDefender

Review: intY MailDefender

IntY's MailDefender manages to squeeze quite a lot of mail filters and controls into an attractive and uncomplicated interface. We might have preferred the default first screen to be the useful quarantine summary (giving customer-wide mail totals), rather than the actual quarantining itself, but this was just a minor quibble.

Review: INSL SpheriQ

INSL's SpheriQ service started off well in our tests. A detailed setup process was well managed and we liked the inclusion of a relay test conducted against our mail servers.

Review: Frontbridge

Review: Frontbridge

This service has been clearly aimed at large (or complicated) organizations that might be managing multiple domains. It can do clever tricks such as rewriting email addresses and handling subdomains that may not have been specifically configured. Administrators can be created with limited sets of responsibilities.

Review: EPA

EPA (Email Protection Agency) is a reseller for the Email Systems mail filtering services. As managed services settle down, we expect to see a lot more of the larger services being offered as rebadged services through other channels and service providers.

Review: Corpex Armourplate

Review: Corpex Armourplate

Armourplate is a managed service with offices in the U.K. and Germany. Although the website claims to be "for U.K. business", the company says it is open to customers anywhere in the world. With the contact details and office hours limited to U.K. specifics, we feel the company (or its parent, Corpex) could be doing a lot more to draw attention to this.

Review: Blackspider MailControl

Blackspider's MailControl service won a Best Buy in SC Magazine last year for its strong service offering, and although FrontBridge beat it to the line this time around, MailControl is still a very good service indeed.

The myth of clientless VPNs

The myth of clientless VPNs

Providing remote access to business critical applications and information is no longer optional – it’s a ‘must have’ for today’s extended enterprise. Employees are more mobile, telecommuting continues to escalate, and partners play an increasingly important role in business processes. More so than ever before, companies require secure, anywhere access to internal applications, real-time information distribution and interactive collaboration.

CFO responsibility to fund log analysis for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance

CFO responsibility to fund log analysis for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance

Corporations responsible for complying with Sarbanes-Oxley, face great hurdles with a basic compliance objective: analysis of their (server and security device) event logs. Some do not for lack of awareness, and others because of the difficulty (and cost) of performing the analysis. Further, issuers erroneously place the cost burden of SOX compliance on the IT security department, when the costs should be borne by the CFO’s SOX compliance budget.
