Using Bluesocket. Role-based approach provides convenient management of privileges for different categories of users. Gateways match user permissions to your organizational structure. IT Administrators can define destinations (such as a finance server, router or IP address subnet), services (such as HTTP, FTP, POP3), user locations, time/date schedules, and available bandwidth to control which users have access to each resource. Multiple service and destination groups simplify policy creation and reduce the complexity and cost of administration of large-scale networks.

In the past, we have given them access to the Internet using an established and protected guest account and access to one of our campus owned computers. But this method isn't working for users who bring portable devices which contain all of their data. Can anyone explain how you are dealing with this issue in order to prevent viruses from entering your network and reduce other security concerns? Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

Hello, I work at a consulting firm, and we have been recommending Pest Patrol ( http://pestpatrol.com <http://pestpatrol.com/> ) to our clients. It has a nice management interface and it seems to be pretty simple to use and effective. We are also recommending that our clients investigate some type of desktop based protection like Zone Labs Integrity ( http://zonelabs.com <http://zonelabs.com/> ) to provide additional end-point security. Hope that helps.

Hi, at Southern Cross University we are looking at using the enterprise version of Webroot Spysweeper. It seems to have very good reviews. On a practical test it also seems to be a lot better than Spybot Search and Destroy (except for the price!). You can download and update defintions once for free. http://www.webroot.com/products/spysweeper/?rc=648 <http://www.webroot.com/products/spysweeper/?rc=648&ac=adw04ss> &ac=adw04ss Tim Lane At 12:15 PM 10/11/2004 -0500, you wrote: Is anyone using, or reviewing (or have opinions, concerns about) products similar to Intrusion, Inc's SpySnare(tm) as a border-based spyware reducer? It claims to be able to filter spyware from web traffic, including recognizing HTML code for known misdirecting popup messages, etc. Some questions which immediately come to mind: How transparent can it really be to 'legitimate' traffic; effecting campus acceptance of border web filtering (even if beneficial); how to provide convenient bypass mechanisms for academics whose work may call for unfiltered web. http://www.intrusion.com/products/download/SpySnare_Brochure.pdf -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Dobbins, CISSP -- Director, Information Security University of Notre Dame, Office of Information Technologies ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Discussion Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
