  • High-speed networking - is your IT security hardware up to the task?
    You might not realise it, but company networks now hum along at 10 Gbps - this is great for network users, but it also places a heavy load on your firm's Network Instrusion Prevention System (NIPS). At 10 Gbps, your company NIPS need to handle 30 million packets every second. This means the technology must analyse and decide whether to block or transmit each packet - that's a tall order when you only have 33 nanoseconds to make a decision. All these operations have to be performed transparently to the sender and receiver with minimal latency - and all this is just for one port!
  • The evolving malware threat: Is your organisation protected from all angles?

This battle for dominance will also take place elsewhere - amongst cybercriminals. They will compete to deliver the fastest, strongest, most widespread and financially rewarding threat. And, in 2010, this means taking advantage of our reliance on email and the web.
  • Enhancing your end point security on a tight budget
