This week we=01,ve got a report on how to prevent those nasty denial-of-service attacks, a look at the SunTone Certified Services for Service Providers program, and a Network World white paper on network storage issues. Arrowpoint Communications Web Site Security and Denial of Service Protection Preventing a denial-of-service (DOS) attack is critical for most Web sites. These attacks are specifically designed to bring down a Web site using methods that appear to be normal network traffic until it is too late. Web site administrators have used packet filtering in their IP routers to provide basic access control, but often this slows router performance to an unacceptable point and fails to eliminate many common types of DOS attacks. Furthermore, traditional firewalls were designed to prevent access to systems, a concept that is incompatible with today=01,s Web. With that in mind, Arrowpoint presents its case for Content Smart Web Switches that provide comprehensive Web site and back-end system security capabilities, as well as the right level of security, without sacrificing scalability or performance. The paper looks at the switches and how they can help prevent the DOS attacks. http://nww1.com/go/wp062200_arrowpoint.html Sun Microsystems SunTone Certified Services for Service Providers With the explosion of service providers offering Internet services, Sun created the SunTone certification and logo program to recognize and promote investments in process, methodology and infrastructure elements that promote secure, reliable and predictable Internet services. This white paper explains the program, shows its objectives, highlights the certification process and gives an example of a sample certified architecture. http://nww1.com/go/wp062200_suntone.html Network World white paper Making the Storage Connection The rising tide of data storage has hit a critical point. Learn more about the latest network storage solutions by reading case studies of companies that are tackling the issue. Included is a discussion of whether to outsource your storage, and a glossary of storage networking terms.
