What is security without bandwidth control?
Internet security is a sizzler, a visit to the most recent international IT conferences confirms that an increasing number of security and network optimisation products are now available to those that want to keep their private data, well, private.
Already smart vendors are realising that they need to differentiate their products, keeping them ahead of rest, so to speak.

IP San Security a Matter of Dedication
SAN security is increasingly important to IT leaders, especially as they begin to deploy global storage networks. Users are looking to IP SANs to act as a relief to the pressure that enterprises, SMEs and SMBs face. But security is very much a discipline that requires regular follow-through and sensible attention.
Last month, we shared a high-level look at some of the issues that exist for SANs based on Fibre Channel technology. But stopping there would only be telling half the story. SAN communications are moving to IP-based networks, making them vulnerable to many of the attacks made on corporate networks, such as spoofing, sniffing, denial of service attacks, untrusted networks, and basic physical security (including keypads, armed guards and the like).

The 802.11b DoS Attack and Portable Viruses
By now you will probably have heard about the alert from AuCert that describes a Denial of Service (DoS) attack on Wi-Fi networks. You might also have heard it's an attack against the protocol and not against a specific implementation. This means it's likely to be difficult to defend yourself simply by applying a patch from your vendor. Addressing this issue will likely require a fair amount of work from ALL the vendors involved; the type of intense collaboration that resulted in 802.11i and it's less beefy, but easier to implement cousin Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). We hope you've also heard that an attacker will only be able to attack networks they can reach directly, over the air; an attacker must have control of a machine on or near the wireless network. They can't simply logon to a machine in London and send a specially crafted packet across the Internet to a wireless network in Washington DC; the attack doesn't work that way.
Computer security researchers and practitioners have been falling over themselves telling people "this is not the end of Wi-Fi." A recent story at eWeek: DoS Vulnerability Threatens Wireless Networks reminds users that though the attack can be mounted with inexpensive hardware, your network should return to normal after the attack stops. In other words, it's an attack against the network, not against any of the systems or servers on the network.

| From the Forum: | | recommendation for an exit page | I need to add a pop up window to an order page that only comes up when the person does not click the "submit" button on an order form page.
In other words, if the person fills out the form and clicks on "submit" the window will not come up. If the user clicks on the browser's "back" button, or the "back to homepage" link, a "pop up" will inform them of a discount that is currently affecting the product they are interested in. ... |
