Review: DynaComm i:mail

Review: DynaComm i:mail

DynaComm i:mail acts as an SMTP gateway, running on a Windows NT/2000/XP/Server 2003 machine, which does not have to be dedicated to the task – it can also host the existing mail server, for example. It is a member of a family of products that together form DynaComm's i:series Enterprise Content Security Suite, which offers other optional components including general Internet access filtering (HTTP and FTP) and controls, and a component called i:scan that monitors file access and downloads across the enterprise in a very wide-ranging way (not just across the Internet) to control confidentiality and misuse of data.

Review: ClipDriveBio

While flash drives are all the rage, they can be pretty insecure; to lose it is quite easy as they are so small. Should sensitive material be placed on one such drive, a thief would find getting information off such a device to be a walk in the park.

Review: Wireless PC Lock

Review: Wireless PC Lock

If pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del to lock Windows every time the weary computer user leaves their desk proves too much of a strain then this new device from Sitecom could be just the ticket.

The Wireless PC Lock is billed as a convenient aid for protecting personal details and programs when away from the PC or laptop. A receiver is connected via a USB port to the computer while a transmitter is placed upon the person. Should the transmitter and receiver be more than two metres apart then the PC will lock.

Review: WipeDrive

Review: WipeDrive

When old computers reach the end of their useful life within an organisation, many an IT professional immediately has thoughts of charity on their mind and donating an old computer means someone else can use it to gain skills or keep in contact with the outside world.

However, this is not without its problems. No-one in their right mind would donate the CEO's old desktop without deleting important data such as financial records or confidential emails. Reformatting the disk does not erase this data permanently.

Get prepared to avoid downtime

The need for business continuity has never been more apparent. The threat of terrorism has heightened awareness of the business implications of major disasters, while in the US, recent power ‘outages’ – and the worry they could be replicated in the UK – has prompted some organisations to assess the business implications of major disruption.
