Review: Security Expressions

Review: Security Expressions

This is a very interesting application which enables you to monitor compliance with policies via audits against your IT infrastructure. This alone would represent valuable functionality, but Security Expressions does not stop there.

Pervasive's SQL database is designed to be embedded in applications designed for small to medium businesses. AuditMaster has been created to ensure that changes to the database are efficiently and accurately logged. The audit trail produced not only allows the database manager to keep track of routine changes, but also sends alerts if and when key data, such as staff salaries or catalog prices, are altered.

Review: FileAssurity OpenPGP Command Line Scriptor

Encrypting files while becoming a necessary part of security has remained somewhat of complex beast to understand and perform. This product aims to strip away the hard work of encrypting batches of files coing into and going out of the enterprise.

Open source. Love it or hate it, but can you trust it?

Open source. Love it or hate it, but can you trust it?

Open source software (OSS) is firmly entrenched in the infrastructure of the Internet, and is now making inroads into the security market too. But although the darling of techies everywhere, OSS has its doubters. In particular, many corporate managers have concerns about support, accountability, and longevity.

Making customers jump through hoops

Making customers jump through hoops

The purpose of multi-channel banking is to make things easier for the customer to access his or her account wherever and whenever they need to. However, with the increasing number of channels coming on stream, the architecture is becoming much more complicated and expensive to administer for banks and building societies.

Review: Crypto Anywhere

Review: Crypto Anywhere

Encrypting email is a must for the paranoid among us, and Crypto Anywhere provides the tools necessary to encrypt and decrypt email messages. Among its new features are Outlook integration and the ability to create an executable that can run off a floppy or flash disk, thereby circumventing the need to install software on a terminal when using Crypto Anywhere in an internet café.

Review: BitZipper

Review: BitZipper

It would seem that compression and encryption are fast becoming the best of friends. BitZipper is the latest in a line of compression applications trying to eat away at WinZip's dominance by adding high-grade encryption into the deal.

The software prides itself on its ability to deal with more compression file types than WinZip as well as 256-bit AES encryption (which can be found in WinZip 9.0). Setting up is easy enough and offers a wizard just as WinZip does. The installation is slightly less convoluted than WinZip.

Spam – what's the solution?

Spam – what's the solution?

The problem of spam hardly needs an introduction. It is a time-waster for recipients. It has its sinister side in the form of V-spam and phishing. And it consumes infrastructure resources -- especially bandwidth. The only real solution available today is blocking: either at the recipients' premises or, sometimes, at the recipients' ISP. But this feels very much like locking the stable door after the horse has bolted and there must be a better alternative.

Top 10 techniques to control spam for the enterprise

Spam within the enterprise has undoubtedly evolved from an annoyance to a critical business problem. No approach to spam can work in isolation as unlike viruses, no single technology is able to stem the tide. I believe that by utilising the following top ten techniques an organisation can arm itself successfully against the menace of spam.
