Security vendors Borderware and Elemental Security used Interop Las Vegas 2006 as a backdrop to unveil their new wares.
Borderware introduced a platform for protecting companies from inbound and outbound threats through multiple protocols, while Elemental Security rolled out a network access control (NAC) solution that uses a policy-based approach to safeguard networks.
Borderware's Infinity Platform flags incoming and outgoing threats in e-mail, instant messaging, the Web and VoIP plus provides central management to help companies stay up to date with compliance regulations, according to Andrew Graydon, CTO at the Mississauga, Ontario-based vendor. The platform integrates with network edge devices from Cisco Systems and F5, he said.
In addition, Borderware took the wraps off the Borderware Security Network (BSN), a reputation service that examines IP address behavior on e-mail, IM, the Internet and VoIP and identifies potential threats to the corporate network from sources such as zombies and botnets, Graydon said.
Octavio Diaz, infrastructure manager at International Integrated Solutions, a BorderWare partner in Plainview, N.Y., said customers that understand the need for strong security across multiple protocols will be the first to embrace the new platform. A key feature that Borderware brings to the table is the ability to identify areas where companies have compliance issues that must be addressed, he noted.
With the move to the cloud, CISOs must shift priorities from operating security programs to overseeing (monitoring and auditing) outsourced cybersecurity programs.
2022 was a boon year for IT salaries. 2023 came in like a beast with layoffs, raise freezes, and ChatGPT, but that beast has few teeth.
Age is only a number. Don't let a high number cancel your career.
