TODAY'S TOP STORIES:
VULNERABILITY ASSESMENT & MANAGEMENT
Foundstone does a better job than most in identifying known host- and network-based vulnerabilities. It also provides good tools to help with the entire vulnerability management process.
Vendor trains its focus on intrusion prevention, network behavior analysis, NAC and vulnerability assessment.
A comprehensive security program should include a vulnerability assessment scanner, which can help decrease IDS false positives as well as with asset tracking. Here's what to look for.
Vulnerability assessment is a key component in securing your network. It probably won't catch every vulnerability, but it can decrease your risk. We give you the lowdown on how to get the most out of VA--start by getting management on-board and mapping out the scope of the VA test--and then explain how to select the right tools. We'll also provide examples of how to run some open-source options.
VoIPshield Systems Inc. has just launched a new voice over IP (VoIP) vulnerability assessment solution that will allow organizations to respond to threats before they affect IP telephony systems and services.
Cisco has announced an out-of-band appliance for its Clean Access network registration and network admission control solution providing vulnerability assessment and authentication integration.
Networks are certainly vulnerable, but who's going to help you secure them? We analyze four architectures that take aim at identifying and patching network vulnerabilities.
The key to keeping intruders out is to know exactly who's in. This year's awards go to products that have improved the basic methods for authenticating and managing users' identities.
Of course you are. But implementing systematic vulnerability management will reduce your exposure.
Intrusion detection, active in-line filtering and vulnerability assessment come together in TippingPoint UnityOne 2000. But our tests also show that the network defense system missed some key servers.
Fee-based capabilities enhance the Nessus vulnerability scanner. The endpoint-compliance functionality isn't always pretty, but it gets the job done well, and cheaply.
By packaging a functionality change for Internet Explorer with a needed security update, Microsoft has alienated some IT pros.
A hosted desktop management suite automates routine IT tasks, so users benefit from improved tech support. But these suites aren't cheap. The winner of our RFI offered the best combination of license monitoring, encryption, platform support, backup capabilities and price.
With the threat of Web site defacement, worms and DoS attacks intensifying, we evaluated five managed security service providers on their ability to defend our fictional company, NWC Inc.
