APconnections Announces Availability Of Radius Authentication

NetEqualizer is a plug-and-play bandwidth control and WAN/Internet optimization appliance

LAFAYETTE, Colo., Sept. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- APconnections, a leading supplier of plug-and-play bandwidth shaping products, today announced the availability of Radius authentication through its NetEqualizer network access control (NAC) module.

In addition, to mark the availability of this option, APconnections is offering a 50-percent discount on NAC module pricing through the end of October with the purchase of any new NetEqualizer (http://www.netequalizer.com).

"We're excited to offer the option to do authentication with Radius servers," said Art Reisman, co-founder and CEO of APconnections. "As a special-feature improvement available with our existing network access control (NAC) module, the authentication will be both effective as well as simple to use."

Users of the authentication option will need an existing Radius server along with details from their customers including the speed of their connection and the duration of their service. The NetEqualizer will sit between users and the core network/Internet connection.

When the NetEqualizer sees access requests to the network coming in, it will authenticate with the Radius server in one of several ways -- MAC address, IP address, or username and password. If for some reason the user does not authenticate, they will be sent to a Web page of the network administrator's choosing or design for further information about obtaining network access.

The NetEqualizer is a plug-and-play bandwidth control and WAN/Internet optimization appliance that is flexible and scalable. When the network is congested, NetEqualizer's unique "behavior shaping" technology gives priority to latency-sensitive applications, such as VoIP and email. It does it all dynamically and automatically, improving on other bandwidth shaping technology available. It controls network flow for the best WAN optimization.

APconnections is a privately held company founded in 2003 and is based in Lafayette, Colorado (http://www.netequalizer.com).

Vulnerability Management Reports

report Choosing the Right Vulnerability Scanner for Your Organization
Vulnerability scanners can be used to help detect and fix systemic problems in an organization's security program and monitor the effectiveness of security controls. However, a vulnerability scanner can improve the organization?s security posture only when it is used as part of a vulnerability management program, in which products, processes and people are working together to find, identify, prioritize and mitigate threats. Here are some tips on choosing and implementing vulnerability scanners in your enterprise.

report Using Google to Find Vulnerabilities In Your IT Environment
Attackers are increasingly using a simple method for finding flaws in websites and applications: they Google them. Using Google code search, hackers can identify crucial vulnerabilities in application code strings, providing the entry point they need to break through application security. Sound scary? It is, but there is good news: You can use these same methods to find flaws before the bad guys do. In this special report, we outline methods for using search engines such as Google and Bing to identify vulnerabilities in your applications, systems and services--and to fix them before they can be exploited.

report Security Pro's Guide to Patch Management
It's no longer sufficient to patch just Windows, Office and IE. With the massive array of applications now residing on enterprise PCs, and the proliferation of mobile and cloud-based applications, your business is far too vulnerable to exploitation unless you have a solid strategy for patch prioritization, deployment and quality assurance. Follow these steps to put your plan in place.
