WatchGuard XCS770R Email Security Appliance Review In order to improve productivity and minimize risk, most organizations need a reliable method of protecting their employees from unwanted email (spam) and malicious software (malware). In addition, it is also necessary to protect the corporate network by restricting access to inappropriate content. Over the years ‘Cloud-based’ email content management services have emerged. The latest addition, and acronym, to the competitive landscape is that of data leakage prevention (DLP) which complements the technology by attempting to prevent the release of confidential data via email, webmail or social networking websites. WatchGuard has excelled over the years in producing security appliances in their trademark red that brighten up drab data centers around the globe. These appliances are known to be no-nonsense, cost effective, straight forward to administer and supported by easy to renew subscription services. WatchGuard’s devices are desirable due to their sturdy build quality, consistency, and practical management functionality. WatchGuard claims the XCS770R’s key features are as follows: • Combines both email and Web security with DLP in one appliance. • Next Generation reputation service enabling IP, domain and URL blocking which halts the majority of spam at the connection level, saving bandwidth. • On-box logging and reporting systems. • Suited to large businesses and Managed Security Services Providers, with the ability to support 1000’s of domains, fully customize reports and user interface and granular delegated domain administration. • The DLP engine can be used to provide anti-slander/cyber-bullying controls.

 Test labs design comprehensive, real-world testing approaches for competing security solutions; Trend Micro leads in highest percentage threat detection results
Trend Micro Incorporated today praised multiple security testing vendors for moving forward with advanced methodologies that show how effective products are in protecting against the new and insidious real-world threats. NSS Labs, AV-Test.org, and Dennis Technology Labs are among the labs that have fostered a greater understanding of the new threats and vulnerabilities across the security industry, and developed ingenious ways to test for them so that users can better assess how well they are being protected across the whole product. “Security testing has become much more difficult for the labs since 2009, because the threat landscape has changed so rapidly,” said Jon Clay, Trend Micro senior marketing manager, core technology. “We endorse and applaud the efforts these particular test labs have made in order to pioneer greater understanding of security issues and priorities for both consumers and businesses. Consistency across 10 tests since 2009 is one important benchmark of the progress that we and the testers have made.” Real-world testing(1) and validation of Trend Micro products provide numerous examples of those consistent results (see table):
“Trend Micro has led many real-world benchmark tests from multiple labs since September 2009 against competitors, including Symantec, McAfee, Kaspersky and ESET,” said Clay. “Clearly, Trend Micro Smart Protection Network, our client-cloud infrastructure underpinning our consumer as well as business products, is the ’secret sauce’ that delivers consistent and correlated protection across multiple threats – url/web, email/spam, and file.” Trend Micro will continue to collaborate with test organizations and submit to product evaluation at labs that practice real-world testing (tests using threat samples gathered live from the typical threat sources, applied via realistic attack vectors, and allowing tested security products to use all available protection layers).

Enhancements Combine Advanced Security with Unrivalled Ease of Use; Includes Easy to Install Data Loss and Spam Prevention TechniquesSEATTLE – June 20, 2011. WatchGuard® Technologies, a global leader of business security solutions, today released a new software update to its extensible content security (XCS) family of web and messaging security appliances. This software release allows businesses to take advantage of new, easy to use data loss prevention (DLP) features, superior content and policy controls for accelerating web traffic, and cutting-edge spam and phishing prevention technologies. “Company email is the leading vector that criminals use in order to steal sensitive data,” said Roula Vrsic, XCS Product Manager at WatchGuard Technologies. “Not only is email the easiest way into the business network, but it is also the primary egress point for confidential data. Because of this, WatchGuard has improved its DLP capabilities so that sensitive data stays safe behind the corporate firewall.” New XCS Software Features:
“Until recently, data loss prevention technology has been predominately relegated to enterprise organizations that have the staff or resources capable of managing the administrative complexities associated with DLP,” said Eric Ogren of the Ogren Group. “The new DLP features in this WatchGuard release focus on providing mainstream business environments with the badly needed benefits of enterprise-strength DLP in a simple to manage solution.” Click here to read the full release.

Selected vs. HP LeftHand and Dell EqualLogic Scale Computing announced that Mays Chemical has deployed Scale’s intelligent storage to complete its virtualization project.
Scale’s S-Series, 4TB cluster has delivered a simple, scalable, VMware Ready storage solution. In addition, Scale’s cost-effective storage, combined with VMware’s vSphere Essentials Kit, made Mays Chemical’s virtualization project an economic reality. Mays Chemical is recognized as a source for chemicals, related raw materials, formulated products, chemical management expertise and outsourcing services. Mays Chemical services a variety of industries including: food and beverage, pharmaceutical, automotive, personal care, electronics and laboratory and healthcare. As the company’s servers aged, several new IT projects emerged that would require new hardware. Mays Chemical’s IT department concluded that virtualization was the best solution and began researching options to virtualize and consolidate the company’s servers. “As a small business, our budget was more limited than that of a large enterprise. We knew that we wanted to virtualize our servers but were concerned about the costs associated with virtualization solutions and the necessary storage. VMware’s vSphere Essentials Kit was a cost-effective solution to consolidate our servers, but we needed to find a storage solution that had enterprise-level performance and power at a price that was within our budget,” said Tony Davitto, network administrator, Mays Chemical.

Mobile computing, branch offices, software-as-a-service, and other applications are stressing the security and performance of WANs. To squeeze the most benefit from these costly connections, companies must choose WAN optimization products not only on a cost basis, but also on their potential security, manageability, and flexibility benefits. Most importantly, implementing WAN optimization should not require a major overhaul to a company’s existing network, nor should it require extensive retraining of IT personnel. Successful WAN optimization should be easy to implement, yet provide a solid infrastructure for continued growth. This paper discusses WAN optimization challenges and proposes cost-effective and secure solutions.
