Network Quality Assurance

Information is the foundation of effective management. For IT managers, achieving a well-run network and aligning it with company goals requires a consistent and objective baseline reporting process. Traditionally, this has required regular review of firewall logs, Email systems, Web logs, Hosts and communications, time-consuming and labor and cost intensive work, to verify
controls and policies are effective.

As clouded economic times and shrinking budgets impact business, IT teams must do more with less and show bottom-line value. IT must lead with innovation and cost-efficiency, extracting maximum benefit from existing network investments. Network Quality Assurance provides an efficient and consistent automated reporting process offering 100% visibility
into IT & business operations.

NQA provides clear, empirical metrics so management can make informed decisions for fast issue resolution, increased productivity and better planning.

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 Endpoint Security Management technology.

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
worth up to $9,995 of Congruity Inspector, the premier Network Quality Assurance solution.

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.

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

Network Access Control (NAC): The Anatomy of Successful Deployments

As network deployments continue to become more sophisticated, so do the threats that endanger them. Insider threats are on the rise, making it more important than ever to understand who and what devices are on your network, and what portions of the network they may access. NAC technology helps to solve the following four challenges relating to insider threats:

  • Understanding who or what devices are at your network edge
  • Assess the posture or health based on installed and running applications on the endpoint
  • Provide appropriate levels of access based on identity and posture compliance
  • Provide detailed reporting on who has been on your network, at what time, and with what level of compliance

NAC is not a single technology, but an assortment of different technologies that are used to help alleviate the problem of insider threats. This presentation will walk through what these technologies are and present a methodology for you to use to understand which technologies may be best for your environment.
