Traffic control

Traffic control

How do you spell trust? Not I-P-S — at least, not if you're an enterprise security manager deploying an intrusion prevention system (IPS) for the first time. Once heralded as the "smarter" cousin of the intrusion detection system (IDS) — destined to eventually kick its kin out of the data center because of its "intelligent" ability to block, not just identify, security threats — the IPS instead has reached a sort of détente with the IDS. Rather than supplanting the IDS with an IPS, many enterprises use the two devices in complementary fashion.

Remote control wars

Remote control wars

Monitoring an illicit Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channel recently, Nicholas Albright couldn’t believe what he was seeing. First, he observed a network operator sending commands to install keyloggers on thousands of compromised, remote-controlled computers. Then, all this private data started flying over the channel — HIPAA-protected medical information, financial account numbers, usernames and passwords.

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.
