“The criminal artisans that have organized on the Internet are growing in technical sophistication and command, and in their capacity to cloak themselves from detection,” said Peter Cassidy, APWG secretary general. “At CeCOS III, the APWG will make a very important proposition: to create a unified response to electronic crime as organized as the crimes themselves — a response to electronic crime without frontiers.”

Corrons will present on how numerous new strains of malware are appearing every day and saturating security laboratories. He will go on to describe how new detection technologies such as cloud-based protection can help combat this inundation of malware.

“Every day we are detecting an average of 30,000 new strains of malware, most of which are designed with a financial motive, such as stealing bank passwords or selling fake antivirus software,” said Corrons. “This is all symptomatic of the huge business that now centers around malware. I will be describing this situation and looking at how we can stop it.”

PGP Encryption Platform Extends Support to IBM i for Power Systems

April 28, 2009 · Filed Under Business Software, Security Software, Software News · Comment 

PGP(R) Command Line for IBM Power Systems Provides Native Support for Secure File Transfers and Encryption at the Source

PGP Corporation, a global leader in enterprise data protection, announced a new release of PGP(R) Command Line for IBM Power Systems in conjunction with its presence this week at Infosecurity Europe 2009 in London and at IBM’s 2009 Common Annual Meeting and Exhibition dedicated to IBM Power System users and partners, in Reno, NV. PGP Corporation is continuing to extend its support for a broad range of operating systems including midrange and mainframe environments, Windows, Unix, Linux and now IBM i; making it even easier for enterprises to integrate and automate business information security with end-to-end encryption. With this release, enterprise customers now have unparalleled choice and flexibility when it comes to securing the privacy and confidentiality of their data exchange between heterogeneous systems internally, and externally with third-party business partners.

IBM i (formerly known as i5/OS(R)) supports virtualized, large transaction processing and line-of-business (LOB) applications typically deployed in vertical industries such as financial services, retail, insurance, manufacturing and distribution. Businesses in these vertical markets handle extremely high-volumes of confidential data, such as credit card numbers, bank account information, employee payroll and benefit forms, health care information, and patient data. Customer and partner data from these types of applications are most often being transferred to third-parties and external sources for billing and collection, data back-up and storage archival processes. To ensure the confidentiality and privacy of customer and partner information, whether the data is in use, at rest, or in transit, it must be protected and encrypted at all times in the case of interception, loss or theft. Even more importantly, data must be protected to meet stringent compliance and regulatory mandates, in addition to corporate security policies and practices.

PGP(R) Command Line for IBM Power Systems enables administrators to add encryption to existing business processes including batch processing, data transfer and backup. By automating the encrypted transfer and back-up of large volumes of business data, IBM Power Systems customers using PGP Command Line can ensure compliance with corporate mandates and information security regulations. With PGP Command Line, IBM Power Systems administrators can easily integrate information security and data protection into existing automation scripts and back-up processes – data moving across networks and stored on servers is encrypted and protected at the source. With PGP(R) technology, the integrity of the data is supported throughout its lifecycle with end-to-end encryption, no matter where the data resides.

Examples of how PGP Command Line secures data on IBM Power Systems include:

  • Moving data to and from remote corporate offices, partner, or customer sites over internal networks or the public Internet;
  • Data residing on servers accessible by local system administrators or exposed to other unauthorized personnel by gaps in the local security infrastructure; and
  • Data transferred for offsite storage and in danger of being lost, misplaced, or stolen.

“PGP Corporation continues to evolve the PGP(R) Encryption Platform to support more operating systems, platforms and devices to meet the data security needs of any type of enterprise environment,” said Steven Schoenfeld, vice president of Products and Strategy at PGP Corporation. “PGP Command Line is ideal for organizations with high-volumes of sensitive data that they are moving between data centers. By adding support for IBM i, we are enabling enterprises using IBM Power Systems to encrypt data at the source, thereby strengthening their data security infrastructure.”

Availability

PGP(R) Command Line for the IBM i for Power Systems is generally available today through the PGP(R) global network of resellers.

System Imaging Made Easier Than Ever With FileWave 3.7

April 27, 2009 · Filed Under Productivity Software, Security Software, Utilities and Operating Systems · Comment 

FileWave, a technology leader for software management on the Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux systems, announces the release of FileWave 3.7 for Mac OS. In addition to distributing, installing and configuring operating system upgrades, FileWave permits users to efficiently mass deploy and manage all other types of software, from large ready-to-use applications such as Adobe Creative Suite 4 and Microsoft Office to vital security patches, both in a single- and a multi-platform environment.

FileWave(TM) 3.7, with its own significant performance enhancements and greater administrative flexibility, transforms the process of installing a complicated and time-consuming upgrade into a straightforward and hassle-free affair. FileWave(TM) 3.7 includes a new feature to re-image an entire computer. FileWave had always been able to deliver and remove software but now we’ve made it easier to duplicate an existing computer and have other computers have exactly the same software installed. To use the FileWave Imager the FileWave Administrator selects a mounted disk volume and creates a new installation from the mounted disk volume. Additionally, the Administrator can control pre and post-installation actions to preserve computer names and user settings.

Additional enhancements to FileWave 3.7 include better searching for clients contained in groups, an idle-log-out of FileWave Admins from the FileWave Server and Fileset Properties to give finer grained control of Filesets stored on the FileWave Server.

“We are pleased to ship FileWave 3.7 with the imaging and Fileset Properties features for the Mac OS,” says Ben Forsyth, Director of Software Development at FileWave (USA), Inc. “We’ve had many requests from our customer base to provide a more seamless imaging solution and with FileWave 3.7, those features are now available.”

FileWave develops, markets and integrates the software management tools FileWave(TM) and Asset Trustee(TM). These products deploy, monitor, and manage applications in enterprise network environments based on Microsoft Windows, Linux and Apple Macintosh systems. Customers of FileWave include Nike, Gruner + Jahr, LEGO, Publicis and Viacom. For additional information, please visit www.filewave.com.
