The Australian Bankers Association says it won't be following New Zealand's lead after its Kiwi peer opted to make users of online banking held liable for Internet fraud.
Check Point Software Technologies on Monday released an update to ZoneAlarm that comes with new features to protect against identity theft.
McAfee said on Tuesday that it plans to release four versions of its new "Falcon" security products, which is designed to rival Symantec and newcomer Microsoft.
Australian small-to-medium businesses aren't committing IT dollars to security, according to a survey conducted on behalf of Symantec. More than 64 percent of the companies surveyed revealed they spend less than 10 percent of their IT budget on security.
If e-mail security is giving you headaches, before you turn to voodoo magic, try one of these hardware appliance solutions.
I found out last week that although Windows Vista will have a snazzy new firewall, by default it will be set to block only incoming traffic -- unless you decide to pay Microsoft an extra US$50 a year...
The next time you're buying antivirus software, don't go direct to Symantec or McAfee. Don't download free antivirus. And definitely don't see Harvey Norman. Ask your bank they're quite literally giving the stuff away.
Today, Symantec released Norton 360 Version 2.0, but I wonder whether the security giant has learned from its past mistakes?
Securing your IT infrastructure, whether you look after five, 5,000 or 50,000 computers, is a complicated process. But my calculations tell me that by 2016, tech security will be as easy as flicking a light switch or turning on a gas cooker.
Microsoft's new firewall offering, included in Windows XP Service Pack 2, has a long way to go to match established products from Zone Labs and other players. Additional reading: XP SP2: The good, bad and ugly
Gil Shwed, Check Point Software CEO, weighs in on who's winning the war of attrition between virus writers and security companies.
Commentary: It's sad, but true. We'll see plenty of e-mail viruses in 2004, despite expectations that these pests would disappear in 2003. Here's why viruses won't go away--and how to protect yourself.
If e-mail security is giving you headaches, before you turn to voodoo magic, try one of these hardware appliance solutions.
Security systems continue to get more sophisticated--and so do the hackers who are seeking to break through them. How can you best combine your defences to protect your company networks?
You can't beat the price. For a good, basic internet security suite, we recommend Trend Micro Internet Security 2009.
Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2007 was hard to install and produced several noticeable glitches that distracted us from the benefits of the suite.
These suites bundle everything you need, from antivirus protection to firewall blocking, in one box. Plus, they offer additional privacy protection, such as blocking objectionable Web sites, spam, and spyware -- all in one convenient package. Which is the best?
ZoneAlarm Security Suite puts Norton and McAfee to shame with its easy-to-use triple-layer firewall, antivirus, antispam and now antispyware features.
There's little new in Norton Internet Security for upgraders, and newbies can do much better with ZoneAlarm Security Suite.
