Authentication, Encryption & Tracking Technologies: The benefits of Hybrid Technologies for Asset Protection
Organizations have been investing heavily in IT and IS security initiatives due to the rash of recent reported data loss in the headlines and the implementation of Privacy Act and Security Breach legislation. A full half of American companies reported a laptop theft last year, and 35% of reported data losses were due to the loss and theft of mobile computing assets.
While recent data suggest that the hardware is the primary target, there is mounting pressure to proactively secure mobile data against theft, protect data that is stolen, and return stolen assets to the company. This white paper discusses how proper risk management and investing in the right technologies can alleviate the problems that most companies have faced in these situations.

Beth BrindleThe Promise and Pitfalls of 802.11n
802.11n sounds like a panacea - delivering wireless data networking rates that are four to six times faster than earlier 802.11a/g networks and also improving transmission range. But with any new technology, opportunity is accompanied by a few new challenges.
This white paper discusses the pitfalls that might arise, such as increased power output, multipath signal propagation, and "smart" antenna designs, which affect range and performance. Existing wired LANs may not support aggregate 802.11n traffic volumes, and 802.11n's extended coverage range and new frame format may introduce new security issues.
Explore the promise and pitfalls of next generation wireless LANs, and learn how to address challenges with new strategies for AP placement, RF management, security, optimization and troubleshooting of 802.11n WLANs.

Beth BrindleSolving the Password Management Paradox: Defining the Problem and Reviewing the Four Best-Known Solutions
Solve the need for security without burdening employees with oppressive requirements.
Organizations need to protect their data and restrict access to enterprise resources to authorized users. However, most employees can not remember more than one or two strong passwords, so they won't follow the policy, resulting in less network security and more requests to the help desk to reset lost passwords. This is what we refer to as the Password Management Paradox — the assertion that requiring too many strong passwords will actually decrease overall corporate security.
This paper reviews the challenge of password management and security, discusses the paradox of strong password policies, evaluates several possible solutions, and recommends a password management solution that is cost effective and easy to implement.
