Mar 01, 2010 | 07:58 PM | 


PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA — Black Box announced today that it's demonstrating its award-winning security solutions at the RSA Conference on March 1"5, 2010. Black Box offers a full range of robust security products including Veri-NAC network access control, Optinet Internet threat protection and bandwidth optimization, Intelli-Pass biometric access control, FireTunnel VPN firewalls, AlertWerks environmental monitoring, LongSpan secure, long-distance wireless Ethernet, and iCOMPEL emergency messaging.

Veri-NAC, declared by SC Magazine to be one of the 20 most influential security products of the last two decades—is a family of network access control (NAC) appliances from Black Box that ensures that only authorized devices gain access to your network. It also screens for vulnerabilities in computers connected to your network, returning mobile users, wireless devices, and new devices. If Veri-NAC detects an untrusted asset, it responds instantly to shut off network access for that device—protecting your network while keeping your trusted devices securely on-line.

Optinet from Black Box scans, identifies, and controls Internet traffic, and provides advanced content filtering, reporting, application prioritization, bandwidth management, and threat protection. This Layer 7, deep-packet inspection device optimizes Internet use for your organization.

Optinet provides unparalleled dashboard- and granular-level visibility into your Internet gateway traffic. When slowdowns occur, it enables you to instantly understand what's bogging down your connection by displaying information such as what kind of traffic is causing the slowdown (Web pages, peer-to-peer, FTP), where it's coming from (ESPN, FaceBook, Salesforce.com), and which individual or department requested it. You can use this information to block traffic, allow traffic, or even "shape" the pipe to fix the problem and avoid future problems. If your organization has applications hosted elsewhere, you can flag those applications, and prioritize packets associated with them. If general Web surfing and social networking traffic is threatening to disrupt your VoIP traffic or Salesforce.com connection, Optinet can automatically throttle the offending data stream to provide consistent bandwidth for mission-critical traffic.

Additionally, Optinet provides dynamic multilayer content filtering. Give users access to the content they need with real-time URL categorization, URL database matching, URL keyword search, and even deep HTML inspection.

Intelli-Pass biometric access control is a fingerprint identification system that features a unique two-part architecture, reader-to-controller signal encryption, and anti-tamper circuitry for superior security. Its highly reliable, accurate multistage fingerprint verification can even look for "life" in a fingerprint and rejects pictures of or silicon imprints of a finger.

A unique two-part architecture makes Intelli-Pass the ultimate in secure access control. The reader and controller units are separate, so there are no network connections in the reader unit exposed to the outside. Proprietary encryption protects communication streams from sniffing and spoofing, further enhancing security.

Intelli-Pass is ideal for any access control application, including information systems departments; storage facilities containing chemicals and supplies; government offices and buildings; high-tech, biomedical, and R&D labs in government or university settings; and military and defense-related installations.

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.
