- White Spaces Wireless: A Chat With The Wi-Fi Alliance
By Lee H. Badman
The list of groups who applaud the FCC's recent decision to allow new wireless connectivity in the frequencies between TV channels includes biggies like Microsoft, xG Technology and the Wi-Fi Alliance. Given the Obama administration's goals of getting all Americans connected, the FCC's ruling probably wasn't much of surprise to most people. "Super Wi-Fi" (or "White-Fi"-- let's hope that one doesn't stick) as it is being nicknamed, will bring obvious advantages to the current 802.11-based Wi-Fi landscape, but there are just as many questions regarding what "new" Wi-Fi will look like. To gain perspective, I talked with Wi-Fi Alliance's Technical Director Greg Ennis for his take on what's to come on the heels of the FCC's ruling. Given Ennis' long history as a contributor to the development of early 802.11 and tenure at the Wi-Fi Alliance that dates to the organization's inception, I couldn't have spoken to a better resource.

- The Case For Outbound Filtering
By Adam Ely
We filter and block what comes into our networks, but often forget about what goes out. Attackers know this, and their attack plans even rely on it. Malware that has compromised an internal machine is often programmed to connect to a command-and-control system that resides outside the enterprise. And of course, attackers use outbound connections to transmit stolen data to their own repositories.

- All Snapshots Are Not Created Equal
By Howard Marks
Over the past decade or so, snapshots have become a standard feature of disk arrays, volume managers, file systems and even PCI RAID controllers. The pitch from vendors of these products is pretty much the same: "With our technology you can take a snapshot in just a second or so and it will hold only the changed blocks, taking up much less disk space than a full copy." While that statement may typically be true, there are big differences in snapshot implementations.
