IDC White Paper Web Security SaaS: The Next Generation of Web Security
With Web-based threats increasing in number and complexity, businesses are

Napera N24: NAP made easy
Microsoft's Network Access Protection (NAP) serves as a good foundation for
securing Windows network infrastructure. Nevertheless, you can usefully expand
NAP's capabilities with applications that bring easier configuration of
policies, more granular enforcement, and clearer reporting to the mix. A case in
point: the Napera N24 network access control appliance.

What the heck!?
I was called to one of our remote sites the other day because the computer had
entered into one of those windows endless reboot cycles. You know the one: it
starts up, shows the windows logo and the loading bar, then quickly blue screens
and reboots to do it all over again ...
