ISO 27001 is a standard providing model for an implementation of an effective Information Security Management System (ISMS). ISO 27001 is also known under its more precise name ISO/IEC 27001:2005 and is closely related to another norm known under the name ISO 27002. Both ISO 27001 and ISO 27002 are together the standards that are used by organizations to implement systems to improve the security of their information and data.

Setting up and configuring WPA security depends on the scale of your network and the robustness of security that is sought to be implemented. Setting up WPA for a large corporation that most likely involves also authentication services is a different story than setting up WPA for a small business or home network. Enabling WPA for your home or small business network can be accomplished relatively easy. This page describes setting up WPA-TKIP in Windows with emphasis on Windows XP.

The 802.11n IEEE Wi-Fi wireless LAN communication standard has finally made it into mass production and is available in the market. Home and business wireless network technicians researching WLAN products face an array of choices in the Wi-Fi technologies arena, and it may not be easy to navigate in the wireless communication waters and make the right decisions. This page brings you information about the 802.11n wireless standard.

Cycle stealing or CPU scavenging is a concept in distributed computing that relates to utilizing networked resources to accomplish a common computational goal. Some computational tasks can easily overwhelm limits of a single dedicated computer, and cycle stealing is a method for providing additional computing horse power to a task.

Grid computing can be defined as a type of parallel and distributed system that enables sharing, selection, and aggregation of geographically distributed autonomous resources. Grid resources are assigned dynamically at runtime depending on their availability and capability.

Blade server or a blade-server system is a self-contained system including a number of computer units designed for high-performance and high-capacity computing. A blade server can be seen as a bare-bones stripped-down computer. A blade server is a solution suitable for applications needing a lot of computing horse power.

Implementing the proper wireless security standard, devising a sound wireless architecture plan, and setting up a VPN and tunneling protocols is a very good way to tackle the task of keeping your wireless network and data secure. There are even more wireless security configurations that can be done to strengthen your security even further.

IPSec, VPN, and wireless architecture are the words that take wireless network security to the next level. Securing your wireless network is as important as having a good lock on your office door. Getting data or services from unsecured (open) networks is very easy, and breaking into WEP secured networks is fairly accomplishable. The current wireless security WPA and WPA2 standards provide relatively good security layer; however, it is only a matter of time before the community of hackers develops approaches to get into WPA networks as well.

WPA (or Wi-Fi Protected Access) is today the security standard in wireless networking that is rapidly replacing the older WEP (Wired Equivalency Privacy) standard. WPA and its younger sibling WPA2 are newer standards based on the IEEE 802.11i ratified amendment set out to improve some of the disadvantages of WEP. This wireless security standard is playing today a vital role in the security of wireless networks.

Even though wireless or Wi-Fi network security is the bread and butter of today's IT Wi-Fi infrastructure, many networking specialists still fear wireless networks because of horror stories from around the world. However, these horror stories happen only in unprotected and unsecure wireless networks. Protected and well managed wireless networks can be almost as reliable as physical wired networks, and we hope this wireless network security tutorial can help you to achieve your security goals.
