Turning to big-box
retail stores for a
wireless security
solution might seem like
a good deal at first,
but your
one-size-fits-all system
is sure to give you a
headache when it leaves
your network vulnerable
to attack.
On the other hand,
a Managed
Security Solution will
put your network in the
capable hands of
experts. More. |

When
we visit client sites
and ask to see the
wireless security policy, we
usually get a blank look
in return, or a policy
that only covers the
minimum requirements. If
your security policy
isn’t up to snuff, don’t
worry, just do something
about it.
And as Computerworld
reports, you’re in good
company. Corporate IT
managers from some of
the US’s most famous
companies continue to
grapple with wireless
LAN security issues,
including the battle
against the installation
of unauthorized WLAN
access points by
employees who are
unmindful of the risks
such links can pose.

Keeping track of
Internet security
vulnerabilities can be a
daunting task.
Especially if you’re
doing it without
dedicated in-house staff
or an outsourced managed
security solution. If
you’re one of those
stoic “I can do it all!”
types, you better put
the SANS/FBI Top 20 page
at the top of your
favorites list and check
it often.
The Top Twenty is a
prioritized list of
vulnerabilities that
require immediate
action.

While we’re all up in
arms about the rapid
proliferation of viruses
and what to do about
them, The University of
Calgary is planning a
fall course, Computer
Viruses and Malware,
that will focus on
developing malicious
software such as
computer viruses, worms
and Trojan horses,
eWeek
reports.
The professor teaching
the course says you need
to get into the minds of
virus creators to
understand them. But as
one industry insider
says, "If I want to
combat smallpox, I'm not
going to create a new
deadlier strain of
smallpox." More. |
