Reviews

  • GoodSync Pro 7.2
    Synchronisation is the alternative to backup, but it is also a much more complex world. Does this program keep life simple enough?
  • Billion BiPAC 7402GX router
    Billion's latest BiPAC ADSL router is an attempt to add 3G failover to what is otherwise a competent and well-featured if unadventurous 802.11g switch/router. Its other strength is its VPN capability.
  • DrayTek Vigor 2820Vn router
    A remote office or small office router with ADSL, WAN and 3G failover that doesn't cost the earth? Not possible they said. DrayTek's latest Vigor can do all this and more.
  • SanDisk Cruzer Professional
    Where did it go wrong for the once inoffensive USB memory stick? A new generation of drives using mandatory encryption attempt to make them loved once more.
  • PortTracker

  • How a laptop nearly ruined one man's life

Case Studies

  • Network behaviour analysis secures university
    Seeking better visibility into the traffic crossing its extensive network, Wayne State University turned to NBA software from Q1 Labs.
  • UTM's weakness: a single point of failure
    The team had a wealth of options. They could have chosen to install one or more UTM appliances, devices that handle multiple threats from a single chassis, or opted for a series of single function, best of breed appliances. So, which one was it to be?
  • Protecting the datacentre
    Mercy Medical Centre’s security wish list is far from atypical. The Baltimore healthcare provider wants to make sure that users access only the services and servers they require and that its datacentre servers remain secure and problem free.
