Evite program easily tampered with, researcher says Posted: 02 Feb 2011 08:13 AM PST The researcher known as Surbo found a variety of interesting ways to tamper with those Evite messages we all receive from time to time.

European Commission wants personal data on air passengers Posted: 02 Feb 2011 07:26 AM PST If the European Commission has its way, all air travelers regardless of nationality will have to give their personal details to national authorities when they fly in or out of the European Union.

Waledac botnet poised for a rebound with stolen credentials Posted: 02 Feb 2011 05:31 AM PST The Waledac botnet, crippled by legal action from Microsoft and covert infiltration by security researchers just a year ago, appears poised for a big comeback.

Cloud services could bolster national cyber security Posted: 02 Feb 2011 05:17 AM PST The shift to cloud computing offers an opportunity to better secure the national digital infrastructure by concentrating the burden of cyber security among a relatively small number of service providers rather than thousands of individual businesses, according to a report by a foreign policy think tank.

Juniper changes course, delivers IPv6 content Posted: 31 Jan 2011 09:05 PM PST Juniper Networks is accelerating its plan to support IPv6 on its public-facing Web site and Web services, following criticism that the router maker was lagging rivals including Cisco Systems and Brocade Networks in this critical area.

Appliance bolsters corporate web access, e-mail security Posted: 02 Feb 2011 02:00 AM PST Websense today unveiled three new gateway security products for e-mail, Web and data-loss prevention that combines an on-premises appliance with secure content filtering in the cloud.

TSA to test privacy-enhancing software on whole body scanners Posted: 01 Feb 2011 04:48 AM PST The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will soon begin testing new software designed to better protect the privacy of individuals passing through its full body scanners at U.S. airports.

Competition aims to make cybergeeks cool Posted: 31 Jan 2011 11:04 PM PST A new high school competition aims to identify students interested in cybersecurity.

How Secure is That Cloud Vendor? Part Two Posted: 31 Jan 2011 09:52 PM PST Last week, we explored the 7 basics of cloud computing vendor security, including identity, authentication, encryption, ILP/DLP and audit trails. Now here comes the deep dive: access control.

New Cisco ASA version 8.4 introduced Posted: 02 Feb 2011 03:58 AM PST In January 2011 Cisco announced the newest Cisco ASA 5500 version 8.4. This release is coming after almost one year from the previous major release (version 8.3 was introduced in Feb-March 2010). You can upgrade to version 8.4 from any previous ASA version but you should know that if your current software release is older than 8.3, you will need memory upgrade as well (for ASA models 5505, 5510, 5520, 5540). Also, ASA version 8.4 requires ASDM GUI version 6.4 and later. Most Notable Changes in new version There are not many important changes compared to 8.3 and older except a couple of new features such as EtherChannel support, stateful failover with dynamic routing protocols, ability to see the top CPU processes etc. In more detail: EtherChannel Support: This is the biggest change in my opinion. With EtherChannel (supported on 5510 and higher models) you can group together up to eight physical interfaces which can form one EtherChannel group (up to 48 EtherChannel groups can be created). Therefore, you can have flexible incremental bandwidth since the EtherChannel technology allows bandwidth aggregation in multiples of 100Mbps, 1Gbps, or 10Gbps depending on the speed of the aggregated physical links. Also, resiliency and load balancing between the links is improved. Stateful Failover with Dynamic Routing Protocols In the past, when you had dynamic routing protocols configured on the device (such as OSPF, EIGRP) and the device was running in Active/Standby redundancy mode, any failover from the active to the standby device resulted in losing all dynamically learned routes. Now, routes that are learned through dynamic routing protocols on the active unit are now maintained in a Routing table on the standby unit. Upon a failover event, traffic on the secondary unit now passes with minimal disruption because routes are already known on the secondary standby unit. Show Top CPU Processes You can now monitor the processes running on the device and see how much CPU is consumed by each process. Use the command show process cpu-usage sorted. Scalability Features The new release increases some scalability features (such as number of Vlans, connections, contexts, Anyconnect VPN sessions etc) mainly on higher end models such as 5580, 5585-X. The full additional feature list can be found on the official Cisco release notes here.
