Spotlight on cyber security Spotlight on cyber security

Has cyber security in its current form failed? Most information security leaders agree that traditional methods, on their own, aren’t working in the face of the increasing number and severity of threats.

So what are the new and likely future threats? How can cyber security be fixed? Is your infosec team suffering from breach fatigue and, if so, what tools can you put in place to help them?

iTnews will provide some answers to these questions in our Spotlight on cyber security, coinciding with the Australian Information Security Association’s national conference on 18-20 October.

This Spotlight is supported by RSA.

Review: SEM3210

Review: SEM3210

High Tower pre-configures all the equipment before it is shipped to the end-user, so when the appliance arrives there are just a few simple steps to complete before it is online and ready to go. We found this product to be quite simple to use, thanks to the intuitive user interface that includes an easy-to-read dashboard-type console. We were impressed by the clean look of all parts of the console. This product displays a lot of vital information in one place in a clear manner.
