The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of industry regulations imposed by the major credit card companies to ensure the safety, security, and integrity of cardholder data. Any business that processes, stores, and transmits cardholder account data must comply with this complex new standard, and must be able to demonstrate that compliance through automated and manual audits of their systems. This white paper looks at the key challenges and requirements of PCI DSS as it relates to Microsoft Windows and Active Directory, and shows you how a third-party software solution can help with PCI compliance.

There are many compelling reasons for virtualizing Windows and Linux applications. Virtualization improves server utilization by allowing you to run multiple workloads on a single physical server. It reduces the number of physical servers you have to maintain, while allowing you to use less physical space and power while still improving scalability. All of these capabilities translate directly into lower costs, less complexity, and greater flexibility in your mixed IT environment.

I think the only thing I like about sprint is EVDO rev.A. Their data network is awesome, other than that...- Matt V
An Israeli start-up has unveiled a gateway, about the size of a fat harmonica, that's designed to make mobile laptops on the road as secure as desktops in the main office.
The Yoggie Gatekeeper, from Yoggie Security Systems, can be thought of as a personal appliance programmed to protect the laptop.
The Yoggie sits inline between the laptop and whatever Internet connection is available. It measures 4 by 2 by 0.8 inches and weighs 2.5 ounces. But the device runs a stack of high-powered security programs, including a firewall and VPN client. Network administrators use the Yoggie Management Server to set up and change security policies, and the Yoggie device enforces them.
To do this, the device has an Intel XScale PXA 260 520GHz processor, with as much as 128MB of memory, and an embedded, hardened operating system based on Linux.
"It's like a bodyguard," says Shlomo Touboul, Yoggie Security Systems founder and CEO, who's launched a number of network management and security companies over the past 20 years. "If [attacker] X tried to reach the laptop [IP] address, the attack actually goes to the Yoggie, with its own IP address, and not to the laptop itself."
Most mobile client security measures require running several security applications and agents on the laptop, making them dependent to varying degrees on the security capabilities of the underlying Windows operating system. As a separate, inline appliance, Yoggie offloads the security software stack from the laptop and sidesteps Windows.
The first version has two 10/100Mbps Ethernet network interface cards.
The Yoggie filters traffic through its security applications. The applications include an open source firewall and the open source Snort program for intrusion detection and prevention.
A separate security analysis program analyzes all these activities to identify new or emerging traffic patterns that show suspicious behavior.
Beta testing is scheduled to start later this month, and the product is expected to ship in November. Yoggie Basic will be priced at $180, and provides network and Web security. Yoggie Pro, priced at $220, has a heftier processor, and more memory and adds e-mail security.
