  • Passwords: poor excuse for security

    Cut costs. Save money. Maintain the status quo. With that mantra in mind, many network managers figure they've got authentication covered. As long as there's a password policy in place, who needs to spend money on authentication tools?

  • Kodak EasyShare 5500 All-in-One
