Indispensable Cell Phone Accessories

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

A decade or so ago, people are okay with just the telephone as a form of communication. But then, humans have no contentment so they strive to develop instruments each time. Cell phones and computers are the latest technological advancements that man is currently busy with.

Years ago, cell phones were bulky, expensive, and could be quite difficult to use. Nowadays, cell phones are so distinctive that you would think they come out of a science fiction film. Today’s cell phone features are high-tech and there is very little that this device can’t do anymore.

Cell phones are quite popular so it is normal that another class of products would sprout from this popularity—the cell phone accessories.

There are various forms of accessories to choose from. Some of the most basic are:

· USBs—these are storage devices that are being used for cell phone to cell phone or cell phone to pc data transfers.

· Headsets—these provide convenience as the user no longer needs to take out his phone out of his pocket each time it rings. All that he has to do is use the headset and say: Look ma, no hands!

· Batteries—they used to come in nickel cadmium and nickel-metal hydride but most of them are now in lithium-ion material which is more earth friendly. This accessory is used to give power to the cell phone unit so this is crucial as compared to other accessories.

· Antenna—if batteries give power to the cell phone unit, the antenna is responsible in getting a good reception by boosting up the network signal.

There are many other accessories that people could now purchase. In fact, if a user would give in to each of his wants in cell phone accessories, he would spend more than $1000 in just a day!

With a proper conference IP video solution, users are able to create the network infrastructure required to deliver custom training and interactive distance learning systems, digital retail media solutions, media and entertainment systems and many more emerging video applications.

Data Leakage

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

Today’s organizations so greatly rely on digital assets.  Research shows that online security attacks are at an all time high, so protecting these assets is of the utmost importance.  It demands the proper network security that can only be provided by a select few companies.  Major security breaches, system deployment, identity theft, enforcement of policies, compliance to policies, historical recording, monitoring traffic, and a variety of other situations can be controlled by incorporating network monitoring and management into an organization.  It aids in the identification of issues that arise, the timely resolutions of them, and the prevention of future problems that are largely due to unsecured networks.    

Many organizations are at risk of data leakage which results in the loss of data, intellectual property, and customers, and the violation of privacy and other government policies and regulations.  Incorporating a comprehensive system of network forensics, including scalable deep packet capture and stream-to-storage appliances, provides the ability to capture and analyze everything that hits a network without disrupting the production network.  The most advanced preventative measures are through accountability and deterrence, and deep network analysis.  For organizations that are at risk, need to do behavioral analysis, gather intelligence, or reconstruct sessions, this is crucial.    

Network Monitoring Service

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

Companies today oftentimes store large amounts of sensitive employee and customer information on their networks. Without the proper network monitoring service, these companies can be opening themselves up to future litigation.  By gathering a complete historical record of your activity through Network capture, you can rest assured that every single action taken on your network is recorded and stored. This means that you can go back in time to watch how network breaches, hacks, and network slowdowns come to be.  With this ability you can see what is being viewed and by whom. You will know when the data was accessed and exactly what was done with it.
With the amount of data that is transferred over a standard network, typical snapshots or data samples will simply not suffice. For the most comprehensive protection you need a complete historical record to be the most effective at locating the most vulnerable portions of the network.  By knowing exactly who accesses what information will allow you to more accurately enforce corporate policies and CALEA compliance. You will be able to find out whether or not they are sharing the information with others in the company and obtain an evidentiary proof of policy abuse.

Network Security

Friday, September 21st, 2007

There’re three types or layers of security in information technology: network security, application security and physical security. Network security refers to the technology and procedures that prevents the unauthorized access of network resources. Application security refers to the security design in applications that safe-guard the protected data resources based on the level of privileges. Physical security is the administrative procedures to protect the physical setting where data centers are located.
 

When it comes to the IT security in reality, most people think about just network security. Of course, network security involves more technology and requires experience and expertise. CompTIA Security+ Certification is the recognized security certification in IT industry.  To gain a security+ certification, it requires 2 year plus network security experience. To pass the certification test, most security professionals take security+ training. Just like other IT certification training, you could either use security+ training CD or security+ CBT.  Setting up VPN (virtual Private Network) and firewall configuration are usually part of the certification tests.  Systematical training supplements hands-on experience. Your experience may not touch all technical topics that CompTIA security+ training may cover.

A Guide to Network Monitoring for Beginners

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

Do you know the data that is sent from one computer to another over the wire or wireless network can actually be captured and read? In this guide, we are going to look at the basics of network monitoring. Networking monitoring can be done at any time, either manually by the administrator or in an automated way. The purpose is to capture the traffic that is going in and out of a particular workstation or computer.

Normally, the network monitoring is done at the layer above the layer where you’re LAN or Network card is placed. Once the computer identifies any destination, it processes the data packets and triggers them to through the physical network card. Before it could actually reach the LAN card, the network monitor received every incoming or outgoing packet which it parses and stores in its interface for the administrator to look over at a later stage. Thus now we know what network monitoring is.

At times it becomes highly essential for the administrator to take a network monitor capture to understand weird behavior identified on the network and amongst network nodes or computers. There are not of sophisticated Network monitoring utilities available in the market. The one that is packages along with the windows operating system is know as Network Monitor which is easy to use and reveal a lot of interesting information about each and every packet that has been captured. All you have to do is to specify a network interface or LAN interface in the Network Monitor application and it will start the capture what all is coming in and going out.

Apart from this network monitoring can also be done with the use of third party application which will install a network monitoring service in all your client workstations or computers and servers. This service must be installed on each and every workstation and server which would be linked with the monitoring and reporting server. The purpose of this service would be to trigger an alert incase something goes bad in any machine. Almost all the companies today are using such alerting and network monitoring service to get hold on each and every device in their premises. This is essential in those cases where the computer have been compromised or hacked and the administrators are alerted immediately. To proof that you have been hacked, lot of investigations are conducted to gather proof of the incident which can be used for any lawful intercept.

If the network monitor traces have been gathered, they can be sent over to the network forensic department for close watch to identify the source of its origination as every company would like to know from which IP address they have been attacked. This can help in getting hold of the suspected person or at-least the premises from which this happened.
