4) Technology Insider: E-mail encryption
Encryption won't solve all your security problems, but these days there's no excuse for not protecting sensitive data whether it's in e-mail, sitting in a database or on a backup tape on the way to your offsite storage facility.

5) Face-off: De-perimeterization
The Jericho Forum is calling for a major rethinking of the way you deploy firewalls. Jamie Bodley-Scott of AppGate Network Security says it's time for such an approach. Joel Snyder of Opus One says a catchphrase like "de-perimeterization" is hardly a reason to rip up your security infrastructure. Read their thoughts, then jump in with your comments.

10) GDC: Perhaps forgotten, but not gone
Remember General DataComm? ... Maybe not. Founded in 1969, GDC was big back in the days of modems, multiplexers and ATM, but then hit hard times and had to sell off three of its four divisions to survive bankruptcy. Now the largely forgotten company is scrabbling back - in part by reassembling its former self.

11) IBM takes start-ups under wing
When it comes to selling products to big companies, young software companies face a Catch-22: Most corporations aren't willing to bet on a business application that doesn't have at least a few large customer references, yet those references will never materialize without some brave soul believing enough in a start-up to take a risk on its unproven software. IBM is out to change that.
