Building a secure future for telecoms

Building a secure future for telecoms

Security is fast becoming one of the telecoms’ industry’s ‘hot topics’. This reached a new peak in October when the TeleManagement Forum committed to adding a new security layer to the architecture of NGOSS (New Generation Operation Support Systems). But how has this come about? What’s changed so dramatically? And what issues do the new proposals address?

Review: pc Anywhere

Review: pc Anywhere

Now in version 11, pcAnywhere is one of the longest-running remote access applications for the PC. We can remember using an early DOS edition in the mid-to-late 1980s.

Review: GoToMyPC

Review: GoToMyPC

GoToMyPC takes a radically different approach to remote access. Instead of requiring users to dial into the host PC, the host PC maintains a passive out bound only link with GoToMyPC's servers.

Review: Proxy

Review: Proxy

Proxy is less of a remote access package and more of a remote support application, but going significantly beyond the feature set of other products.

Review: RemotelyAnywhere

Review: RemotelyAnywhere

RemotelyAnywhere is a relatively late arrival to the remote access software landscape. Despite this, the package is arguably the most complex currently available on the market, offering the IT professional full access to a remote machine's facilities, even allowing a full reboot on the fly.

Review: Timbuktu Pro

Review: Timbuktu Pro

Timbuktu Pro, which is available in both Mac and Windows, is clearly aimed at Mac users. The PC version, while functionally similar to the Mac edition, appears to be something of an afterthought, since functionality is limited.

Review: TridiaVNC Pro

Review: TridiaVNC Pro

 

Whilst RealVNC is freeware and a very basic remote access package with minimal security, TridiaVNC Pro shows what can be done with open source software.

Review: Boingo Wireless

Review: Boingo Wireless

Boingo uses a similar network aggregation model seen on ISP networks from the likes of iPass and GRIC. But it goes further with its business model, collecting and distributing usage revenues amongst the various network operators whose Wi-Fi hotspots it uses.
