Botnets, Green IT and June 30th
June 2008
In this edition of the Netforce newsletter, we are combining our usual review of IT news, technologies and developments in context of the “End of Financial Year Specials” available.
We have mentioned a few promotions here but there are a great deal more! Please call your account manager or email us for guidance on which specials may be most appropriate for your needs.

WAN & Security

Our last newsletter talked about wireless broadband and why we think it will overtake DSL as the preferred solution for businesses.
EOFY (End of Financial Year) Special
This promotion could get you 8Mbps for the price of 4Mbps – a huge saving that keeps paying you back, month after month. Our Fast Track program also ensures that orders will be installed within 48 hours (if available at your location, of course). This also comes with a 30 day satisfaction money back guarantee.
* Block the botnet
Botnets are widely regarded as the top threat to network security. This paper explains how botnets have traditionally worked, and then contrasts the established model with startling botnet innovations that emerged in 2007 and are continuing to evolve. Examples describe botnets known as Zunker, Gozi, Storm, MayDay, and a kit known as Mpack that helps botmasters easily create malicious web sites. After explaining why the latest innovations make bots a more serious threat than ever, the paper concludes by suggesting defensive countermeasures.
EOFY Special on Security
We have specials running from most major security vendors like Cisco, WatchGuard, SonicWALL, Fortinet, Symantec etc. An example is free hardware for the price of Unified Threat Management services like Gateway Antivirus, web blocking and anti spam. However, we prefer to go over your requirements with you, select a solution and only then look at the relevant promotion. So please call us to tailor your solution for you.
Please note all offers are valid for orders received COB 29th June 2008 or while stocks last.
