Activeworx Security Center is a cost-effective security information management system that provides real-time security device log monitoring with alerts, audit and compliance reports, and tools for advanced, in-depth forensic analysis. Activeworx consolidates and manages alerts from multiple vendors and security devices.

Activeworx reduces the time it takes to analyze event data from multiple sources and produces real-time reports that pinpoint network security breaches and vulnerabilities. These in-depth reports provide the details necessary for regulatory compliance reporting for Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

There are events that are being triggered from many different security devices on your network. Each of these events has its own key points of interest. Instead of removing the details, Activeworx acts as an event tracker and preserves these key points to enable you to take advantage of all the information within each event. It does this by allowing you to have multiple database types, including events from:

• Intrusion Detection Systems, including Snort
• Syslog Events
• Firewall Events
• Vulnerability Scans
• TCPDump Packets
• Keystroke Loggers

Check Point Endpoint Security is a single agent that combines all components for total security on the endpoint: firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware, disk encryption, media encryption (incl.port protection), network access control (NAC) and VPN. This enables security administrators to enroll endpoint security with one single installation.

IPSentry is a utility that will continuously monitor all your Internet and intranet TCP/IP network servers, 24 hours a day, checking if services are active and responding. In the event of failure, IPSentry will notify you (according to the defined schedule) via any or all of several different methods, including pager notification, e-mail, audible alert, or a configurable 'launch external application' option. NT users can also use an ICMP (ping) option. IPSentry can be used as an NT service and features an ActiveX add-in, drive space monitoring, alpha/SMS paging, alerting and notification options, and external power control alerts. The previous version featured enhanced pager notification functionality, several new notification options features, optimized polling delays, and an improved user interface.

The comprehensive features in Sophos Endpoint Security and Control can easily replace a number of security individual security products aimed at endpoint protection. In addition to antivirus, it delivers anti-spyware/adware, host intrusion prevention, firewalling, application control, device control, and network access control.

Sophos features centralized management for multiple platforms including Windows, Macintosh, Linux/Unix, Netware and Open VMS.

In an environment with a rapidly growing number of network vulnerabilities and increased sophistication of network attacks, a new proactive approach towards network security is needed. Traditional defense mechanisms, such as firewalls, antivirus software and intrusion detection, need to be complemented as attacks bypass these layers of protection by directly targeting network weaknesses.

ZoneAlarm is designed to protect your DSL or cable-connected PC from hackers. This program includes four interlocking security services: a firewall, an Application Control, an Internet Lock, and Zones. The firewall controls the door to your computer and allows only traffic that you understand and initiate. The Application Control allows you to decide which applications can and cannot use the Internet. The Internet Lock blocks Internet traffic while your computer is unattended or while you are not using the Internet, and it can be activated automatically with your computer's screensaver or after a set period of inactivity. Zones monitor all activity on your computer and alert you when a new application attempts to access the Internet.
