Network security got attention as well at Demo 06. Shimon Systems showed Bio-NetGuard, which provides a device that allows for finger-based WiFi LAN access control. Cesura showed an application that monitors poor end-user experiences on a web site, and identifies what is causing the disruption.
Fortify software showed how many applications today can be hacked, and showed a platform for monitoring your applications and for shielding flaws within the software you are running.
IronPort Systems showed a new link of web security appliances, which is different in using a reputation approach, measuring whether sites are trustworthy or not, and blocking bad sites. It's a very interesting approach, one that might well help a lot of companies.
Front Porch showed a very nice solution called PorchLight that bridges the gap between the detection and protection products most big companies have, and user notification. Its software lets network administrators automatically notify its users if they are doing something that is outside a corporate policy or if they have a security threat.
Tested Technologies showed a solution that makes your network invisible, though a technology it calls HyperBlocking. When the software detects an attack - whether worm or spam, it runs software that makes it look offline to that attacker's IP addresses. It looks pretty neat.
