Bulletin on IoT security. Is your network ready for Internet of Things exploits?
Not so long ago, Human Security revealed an entire shadow network associated with infected devices and malicious applications. Infected were not only Android TV set-top boxes, but also tablet PCs, wearable devices and even cars. Some IoT devices may even be infected with viruses or Trojans already at the stage of their production or sale, and since it is impossible to imagine a modern company without IoT today, it is important to properly protect your network.
Today's world is completely ...

Zyxel USG Flex 500 review: testing speed and exploring enterprise security gateway capabilities
The new series of gateways focuses on the speed of operation, and in the "Antivirus + IDP" mode, it does not fall below 800 Mbit/s LAN-WAN. In part, this was achieved due to two antivirus engines: you can either check each file through the built-in bitdefender with updated signatures, or cloud verification by McAfee means by sending hashes of downloaded files to the servers.
The number of threats faced by the owner of a local or public network is growing every day. Now, in addition ...
