“Security isn’t perfect yet, but Todd Lewis from Atlanta-based
SecureWorks spoke to 60 members of Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts group
about the company’s Linux-based outsourced security products. Other
topics of this meeting included DSL over fiber-optic lines and the
pending release of ALE member Bob Toxen’s book “Real World Linux
Security: Intrusion Prevention, Detection and Recovery.”
“Its members in “recuperation mode” after the successful Annual
Linux Showcase event held in Atlanta just a few weeks earlier, the
current list of projects for ALE isn’tlong.. However, the
SecureWorks folks have been busy as of late, so there was much to
discuss.”
“Lewis talked at length about SecureWorks’ latest offering,
iSensor. A Linux-based stateless firewall product has a significant
twist: remote monitoring done at the SecureWorks data center in
Atlanta. SecureWorks has done a considerable amount of work in
real-time intrusion detection, adding a dynamic rule set system
that can autonomously react to exploit attempts. SecureWorkers
follows this with their 24/7 monitoring facility staffed with
security specialists trained to react to persistent attacks.”
