Welcome to the third issue of Network Box USA’s quarterly e-newsletter, The Monitor. Here you’ll find information about our latest offerings; some important things to think about, such as ways to maximize network security; and an up-to-the-minute look at global Internet threats.
In this issue, the first of 2010, we look back on 2009, an exciting year in which Network Box was awarded a coveted five-star rating by the prestigious SC Magazine in its review of intrusion detection and prevention (IDP) solutions; the Network Box solution was rated five out of five for features, ease of use, performance, documentation, and support – with an overall rating of five out of five. Our In the News section recaps the major announcements we made in 2009.
On our Brief Case page, you’ll learn how a Houston-based credit union, dissatisfied with its existing network security provider but still sold on the concept of managed security, became a satisfied customer of Network Box USA. And in our Things to Think About feature, we explore how software vulnerabilities don’t just affect Microsoft; we also examine the bandwidth usage of a typical Network Box customer.
Our Outside the Box section features an exclusive commentary by Linda Musthaler, a principal analyst with Essential Solutions Corp., on the danger of botnets and how to secure against them. Linda, by the way, writes the IT Best Practices newsletter for Network World magazine.
I hope you find the current issue of The Monitor to be informative and useful.
