Network Quality Assurance Solutions

Despite increased spending on more and more sophisticated Information Technology solutions, managing a network keeps getting to be more difficult. Whether it is due to the increasing complexity of networks, lack of personnel, no tangible metrics or poor translation of technical processes to management planning & decision data, spending has risen while network quality assurance has declined.

What processes do you have in place to consistently and objectively verify your internal controls are effective? How are policies monitored, documented and enforced? How frequently do you review key IT system logs scattered throughout your network? When was the last time you reviewed them? How do you determine if technology is being used properly or improperly in your environment? Do you draft executive reports that highlights the findings of your studies and provides justification for changes and budget requests? How much time does it all take, and is it getting done?

Network Quality impacts every facet of your network and business operations.

Security, compliance, performance, productivity, reliability, communications, response time and the bottom line are all impacted by network quality.
Without a consistent method of measurement, checks and balances quality cannot be assured.

To learn about easy, comprehensive ways to assure the quality of your network, including your endpoints, you'll want to attend this informative educational opportunity and learn about Network Quality Assurance and Clientless Endpoint Security Management (CESM) technology. CESM solutions enable companies to maximize their security investment and ROI to ensure ongoing optimal operations of their I/T infrastructure, all without installing client software on their endpoints.

As a special thank you for attending this presentation, JCS & Associates, Inc. will be giving away a 1 year license to one company for up to 5,000 endpoints of Congruity Inspector, the premier Network Quality Assurance solution.

Understanding Managed File Transfer - Insights & Best Practices

As IT departments continually adopt new technologies to improve the performance of their systems, productivity of their end users and relationships with trading partners, they are faced with numerous challenges. One such challenge companies face today is securing and automating large file transfers. Traditional file transfer systems and mediums no longer meet the needs of most organizations or their trading partners, especially when data exposure is a concern. Many organizations have developed in-house solutions that are difficult to manage, lack the ability to track and audit file transfers, and expose the organization to security breaches. A Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution should be secure, easy to manage, and have the flexibility to integrate with existing technologies.

In this presentation, you will:

  • Gain a better understanding of the business challenges and drivers of file transfers.
  • Identify the security concerns around traditional file transfer systems and mediums.
  • Learn best practices to develop security architectures for file transfers.
  • Understand how a MFT solution can meet the needs of your stakeholders.

Next Generation Network Security Threats -- What to Protect Against in 2008

Targeted threats are on the rise as new vulnerabilities continue to propagate. Evolving threats are less broad then the mass-mailing worms of the past. Newer threats focus on individuals or a specific company combining malware and social engineering to trick the individual through subtle manipulation. This session will discuss the next generation of threats that networks will battle and how they can be protected from these attacks.

Not all users are created equal - Transaction level policy enforcement

During this presentation you will learn about the business drivers and technical implementation options for transaction level policy enforcement. Learn how 'Layer 7 ACLs' are enabling the Network-based Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) and Policy Decision Point (PDP) to secure data center resources.

Today's organization is highly dynamic with a geographically mobile and collaborative workforce. Implementing a consistent policy framework in this environment is challenging - user communities on a given network are frequently diverse with ever changing roles, responsibilities and privileges. In this session you will learn how a network based entitlement control approach can help you provide differentiated policy enforcement based upon what your users are really allowed to do.
