MOBILE MANAGEMENT
Should companies strictly control employee use of mobile
devices? Employees are finding more ingenious ways to use mobile
devices to stay connected, access important data and communicate
more effectively. But there are increased security risks. This

Today's focus: Fluke Networks updates WAN analyzers
By Denise Dubie
Fluke Networks last week added new capabilities to its OptiView
suite of WAN analyzers that the company says will help IT
managers align WAN data with business services and ensure
compliance with regulatory requirements such as Sarbanes-Oxley.
The company expanded its OptiView T1/E1, DS3/E3 and OC3/OC12 WAN
Analyzers with new features that allow users to organize
protocol ports into customized groups that relate to business
services. For example, the Custom Application Group feature
includes a comprehensive list of default groups such as Internet
Services, VoIP <http://www.networkworld.com/nlnetop5405> and
Instant Messaging, according to the company.
The OptiVew WAN Analyzers have also been upgraded to include
security capabilities such as administrator-defined account
authorization and control. According to Fluke Networks,
user-level accounts can be assigned specific permissions or
access limits, such as only viewing the headers of each packet.
Also now "security events such as packet capture or capture file
download can be sent to a syslog server for accounting," the
company explains.
Another new feature, dubbed Host Activity, lets IT managers
focus on specific hosts or servers to see what applications have
been exchanging packets across the network.
<http://www.networkworld.com/nlnetop5406> With this feature, the
company says, network administrators can verify the legitimacy
of high-bandwidth traffic traversing the net. The feature can
also help spot unusual security events such as the spread of a
virus, denial of service attacks, or unauthorized data
transfers. With this information, Fluke Networks says IT
managers can "remove unauthorized use on a WAN link and can
reduce the need for costly WAN upgrades."
The upgrades also enable multiple users, up to eight
simultaneously, to access the analyzers simultaneously for
"collaborative troubleshooting," the company says.

OptiView WAN Analyzers are available immediately Pricing for the
OptiView T1/E1 WAN Analyzer starts at $5,995. The OptiView
DS3/E3 WAN Analyzer starts at $12,995, and the OptiView OC3/OC12
WAN Analyzer starts at $17,995.
