Helps defend users against specific types of cyber crime
The security of the global Internet has been bolstered by a historic collaboration between government and the private sector. ICANN has joined the U.S. Department of Commerce and VeriSign Inc. to add security at the top of the domain name system – the technical infrastructure behind the Internet’s “phone book” - to protect Internet users from certain forms of online fraud.
“A cyber criminal can steal your money or your personal data without you even knowing it. Cyber crime doesn’t respect national boundaries,” said Rod Beckstrom, President and CEO of ICANN. “This upgrade will help disrupt the plans of criminals around the world who hope to exploit this crucial part of the Internet infrastructure to steal from unsuspecting people.”
With the Internet’s pervasive role in daily life expanding rapidly, finding viable solutions to cyber crime is imperative. Deployment of Domain Name System Security Extensions, or DNSSEC, at the “root” of the Internet has laid the foundation for a new generation of innovative cyber security solutions by creating a global authentication platform - a common source of trust in the validity of Internet addresses.

New service delivers encrypted calls and authenticates participants
Cellcrypt (www.cellcrypt.com), the leading provider of secure mobile voice calling, today announced that it has launched a secure conference service that provides both device authentication and voice call encryption to participants using popular mobile phones like BlackBerry® and Nokia smartphones.
Organisations depend on conference calls to run their daily operations and often discuss confidential and highly sensitive information on calls such as sales, supplier and executive management meetings, intellectual property discussions, high value business deal talks, crisis management calls or even discussions concerning disaster scenarios and national security.
But traditional conference calling services are open to abuse through unauthorised access. Where access security is in place for conference calls, it is often poorly managed with dial-in details and PINs seldom changing. A commonly reported scenario is for ex-employees to continue to access regular conference calls or pass details to unauthorised personnel.

NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) today announced it will support the Intel® Ethernet X520 family of SFP+10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) server adapters. This extends NetApp’s ecosystem of tested Ethernet solutions and offers customers more ways to deploy an end-to-end Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) infrastructure. Together, NetApp and Intel offer customers tested options to transition from a Fibre Channel infrastructure to a high-performance FCoE infrastructure.
10GbE unified networking provides a simple, flexible, and well-understood fabric for today’s dynamic data centers and lays the groundwork for new computing models, including cloud computing. With long histories of leadership in Ethernet storage and networking, NetApp and Intel are working together to help lead the transition to a unified data center on 10GbE. Both companies are early supporters of FCoE. NetApp is the first storage vendor to support native FCoE storage, and Intel is the first Ethernet adapter vendor to support Open FCoE (www.open-fcoe.org), which enables FCoE in standard 10GbE adapters.
