IT Security


Embracing Encryption

Multiple technology methods implemented to meet standards

Speaking Encode

TODAY'S world is faced with every-evolving technologies -- a world of ones and zeroes. Digital communication and storage networks have greatly facilitated access to information in every technology sector, and video security is no exception.

Break a Leg

LOCATED about as far as a typical Tiger Woods half-wedge shot from the San Antonio Spurs practice facility, the Texas Center for Athletes could soon be the premier medical facility in South Texas.

Got a Byte?

UNAUTHORIZED access to networks has recently increased within the past few years, and replacing DoS as the second-most significant contributor to computer crime losses, according to the Computer Security Institute and FBI.

Integration Ingenuity

IN a typical IT environment, heterogeneity is the standard -- in server operating systems, in database platforms and in software applications running on those servers.

Stop! Thief

ADVANCEMENTS in removable media, online storage and file sharing have empowered end users to transmit, collect and access data from virtually any location both inside and outside the corporate network.

Profiling Your Best Behavior

WEB-borne threats are among the most serious security risks facing corporations today. An alarming trend shows that malware and browser-based attacks are increasing in frequency.

An Eye on the Patch

WITH the ever-closing window between security vulnerability discovery and exploits in the wild, most organizations are poorly prepared for rapid response times needed to secure enterprise networks.



No Witnesses, No Evidence

The Network Sweet Spot

THE shelves in the Wi-Fi network candy store are filling up with the newest products fresh from the factory.

E-Mail's Maturing Market

E-MAIL has quietly become the primary business tool used today by information workers worldwide.

Laying Down the Law

THE legal environment for small businesses has dramatically changed over the past few years, starting with the fraudulent activities of companies, such as Enron, along with the rash of high profile information thefts at Choicepoint and Lexis-Nexis.

Working Together

OVER the years, corporate departments have learned how to increase efficiency and value by leveraging the assets of the corporate IT infrastructure.

Something to Talk About

THE challenge begins when your new product does not perform as promised or when senior management is caught in a scandal, or even when you blew your P&L estimates -- revenues are down and expenses are up.

A Human Intervention

THE landscape of information security continues to be dynamic. New threats emerge daily in the forms of new viruses, worms, phishing, pharming, social engineering and identity theft.

IT Forum

IN the year 2010, network security is guaranteed to be vastly different than what people see, deploy and rely on today. Much like the physical security of valuable assets and property has evolved over time, network security also must evolve in order to protect the tangible and intangible assets in today's enterprise.

Trust Your Computer

THE precarious state of online security, data protection and identity protection for business, government and consumers is the material of daily news headlines -- from lost and stolen laptops and backup tapes to unsophisticated consumer Internet phishing identity theft.

Protecting Vital Information

Rethinking USB

THE development and adoption of removable USB mass storage is truly remarkable. Never before has it been so easy to move gigabytes of information around on a portable device that is small enough to clip onto a keychain.
