Computerworld - NetContinuum Adds Net Firewall

NC-1000 Version 4.0 lets customers use a single device to stop network attacks using common protocols such as FTP and DNS, in addition to those targeting Web applications communicating over server port 80, according to Santa Clara, Calif.-based NetContinuum.

Computer Security, 20 Things Every Employee Should Know, by Ben Rothke; McGraw-Hill, 2004

At 51 pages, this title is little more than a pamphlet compared with most IT security books. But here, brevity is a virtue, and I don't expect this slim volume to spend much time on the shelf.
Full of pithy, interesting quotes and bite-size chunks of information, this primer will fit perfectly into your IT security awareness campaign or into the introduction pack for every new hire.
This whistle-stop tour of information security hits all the right notes, is an easy read and is credible without resorting to fear tactics. My desk copy has already been well thumbed by those waiting for me to finish phone calls.
A large-scale security group could probably gather this same information and tailor it to their internal audience, but why bother? For smaller shops and those without much spare time, Rothke's book is a superb addition to any security awareness push.
