IronPort detects new Trojan Horse

However, we are concerned that the Trojan escaped detection from major security platforms. This shows how even the best-protected computer systems remain susceptible to infiltration, especially via social engineering; we thus advise internet users to be wary of suspicious offers and communications and make sure that they have reliable network security solutions in place,” said Ray Kafity, regional sales manager – Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan, IronPort Systems.

The latest outbreak was detected using IronPort’s S-Series Web Reputation Filters, which are integrated into the S-Series of family of web security appliances. Considered the industry’s fastest web security appliances, the S-Series combines a high-performance security platform with IronPort’s exclusive Web Reputation technology and its Dynamic Vectoring and Streaming engine, a new scanning technology that supports signature-based spyware filtering, he said.

Walter Reed says patient data may be compromised

Names, Social Security numbers, birth dates and other information was released, hospital officials said Monday. The computer file that was breached did not include information such as medical records, or the diagnosis or prognosis for patients, they said.

The disclosure marked the latest in a series of breaches of government computer records.

Walter Reed officials declined to explain exactly how the information was compromised, pending an ongoing investigation by the hospital and the Army. They would only say that the computer file was found on a “non-government, non-secure computer network.”

The medical center learned of the breach on May 21 from an outside data mining company, which officials did not identify. They said the company was working for another client, found the file and contacted Walter Reed.

Mobile phones to bridge Internet use

Dr Hopeton Dunn, director of the Telecommunications Policy & Management Programme at the Mona School of Business at the University of the West Indies (UWI) Mona, which is sponsored by Digicel, tips handsets as the ‘bridging technology’ that will introduce lower-income Jamaicans to browsing the Internet, besides offering valuable economic functions. These include banking and commerce via SMS ranging from selling phone credit to goods and basic subsidiary businesses, including selling phones, accessories and credit and unlocking phones.

According to Dunn’s research, more than nine out of ten lower-income Jamaicans are mobile phone users, while they are now more handsets than people in the country according to his research published in two reports, which were presented at a seminar, ‘Ringtones of Opportunity: People, Poverty and the Possibilities of Mobile Telephony in Jamaica’ held at the UWI on Friday.

Webroot broadens its security software portfolio

Webroot’s endpoint products, Webroot AntiSpyware Corporate Edition and Webroot AntiSpyware Corporate Edition with AntiVirus are comprehensive, centrally-managed solutions that aggressively block, detect and eradicate malware on desktops across the network.

“The Internet and remote network access are essential to employee productivity yet 85 percent of all malware infections now come from the Web and only 15 percent of businesses are adequately secured against malware threats and employee misuse,” said Mike Irwin, COO, Webroot. “The mobile workforce is expected to grow to over one billion employees globally by the year 2011 and organizations of all sizes need to rethink how they protect their network and their employees. Filtering and scanning Internet traffic in the cloud ensures businesses receive more effective protection that is easier to manage than appliances and server-based software solutions.”

Webroot also announced last week the latest release of Webroot E-Mail Security SaaS, which includes content monitoring and filtering capabilities that provide more control over inbound and outbound email messages, and help prevent data leaks and enforce acceptable usage policies.

Network Security Concerns? Consider Open Source

Other than Symantec anti-virus software and a Cisco Systems PIX firewall, there was nothing that truly prevented security breaches.

After looking at a few commercial network security managed services solutions, Nickason decided to go the open-source route, installing pretty much everything offered by Untangle. That included tools for blocking viruses, spam, spyware and phishing, as well as intrusion prevention, a firewall, remote access and monitoring tools, and routing and QOS (quality of service) tools.

MetaRAM’s MetaSDRAM Technology Now Available From Supermicro

The MetaSDRAM chipset, which sits between the memory controller and the DRAM, solves the memory capacity problem cost effectively by enabling up to four times more mainstream DRAMs to be integrated into existing DIMMs without the need for any hardware or software changes. The chipset makes multiple DRAMs look like a larger capacity DRAM to the memory controller. The result is “stealth” high-capacity memory that circumvents the normal limitations set by the memory controller. This new technology has accelerated memory technology development by 2-4 years.

Supermicro will be demonstrating its two new products with MetaRAM at the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) ‘08, June 17-19, at the International Congress Center Dresden in Dresden, Germany, booth B25-B28.
