   We use a product from Bluesocket, the WG-2100.  It provides authentication
   on the wireless lan as well as the wired public ports. The new version of
   software also has some IDS/virus prevention functionality.

   Subject: [SECURITY] Guest Access

    

   Hello,

    

   Due to the increase in mobile computing we have starting to have an
   increase in the number of requests from guests to use their personal
   laptop or other device on our network.  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) 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) 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.

   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.
