|
|
IT Security is a field of computer science concerned with the control of risks related to computer use. The means traditionally taken to realize this objective is to attempt to create a secure computing platform, designed so that agents (users or programs) can only perform actions that have been allowed. This involves specifying and implementing a security policy. The actions in question can be reduced to operations of access, modification and deletion.

The Network Box Anti-Spam Solution |
|
|
What is spam? The dictionary definition is “unsolicited junk email – generally advertising some product sent wide-scale to a mailing list or newsgroup”. But that is just a broad definition, open to interpretation; one man's spam is another man's newsletter. If you ask an end-user, they will often define spam as “mail I don't want” – very precise from that particular user's point of view, but not implementable in a shared computerized system.

Evaluating IT Security Options |
|
|
Assessing IT security claims – especially in the all-important area of perimeter security – is difficult at the best of times. Vendors in this area often exaggerate their offerings (sometimes spectacularly!). It can be very difficult to compare products side-by-side. And compounding this problem is the lack of clarity in the terms that are used. It’s almost impossible to make rational comparisons between the different offerings available.
