Unfortunately--protected or not--no network is exempt from an attack. The only difference between those spared damage and those thrust into chaos will be the security strategies you prepare in advance. The solutions you implement early. And the leadership you show ahead of coming threats. Here's what to do now before you make headlines: Attend "Network Security: Structuring an Aggressive Defense." http://www.fattail.com/redir/redirect.asp?CID=86169 _______________________________________________________________ Today's focus: Electronics in the election By Jeff Caruso Electronics in the election I think we can all agree that tomorrow we'd like to see an election unburdened by legal catfights, in which everyone who has a right to vote gets to cast it and have it count. From the IT perspective, we'd also like to see the electronic voting machines work like they're supposed to. On the eve of the election, Scott Bradner looks at where they are today, and points out that what is missing from the system is not in the hardware itself. <http://www.nwfusion.com/columnists/2004/110104bradner.html?vo> How good is your planning? Chuck Yoke once again provides the User View, and it's all about planning. It's OK to have goals for IT. It's OK to buy point products to try and meet those goals. But if you don't have the plans that connect the goals to the products, you're up a creek. Yoke explains. <http://www.nwfusion.com/columnists/2004/110104yoke.html?vo> Dissecting the enterprise service bus If you have no idea what "enterprise service bus" really means, you're not alone. Burton Group's James Kobielus this week picks apart this latest buzzphrase related to middleware. How is it different from previous middleware? Is there anything to it at all - that is, is it all booster, no payload? Find out. <http://www.nwfusion.com/columnists/2004/110104kobielus.html?vo> Data explosion In some industries, the amount of data being collected is moving into terabytes per week, and that data also sticks around for a long time. At last week's Storage Networking World conference, users talked about their 21st Century problems for storing all that data - and getting rid of it, as well. Network World Editor-in-Chief John Dix has the details. <http://www.nwfusion.com/columnists/2004/110104edit.html?vo> _______________________________________________________________ To contact: Jeff Caruso Jeff Caruso is managing editor of online news for Network World.
