Sophos Partner Event – February 2012
Awesome event held by Sophos. James Lynn was literally statically charged as he was trying to give a static shot to the gorgeous ladies in the front of the room. Shame he didn’t go over more than what was on his YouTube link.

VMware vCenter Operations Management Suite (vCops)
I’ve been playing with VMware vCenter Operations management suite for a few days and first impression are that its slick, neat and intuitive. It visualises all the information in one place so you can quickly understand what the vCenter is doing. The greatest thing about the product is its dashboard.

All of this can be seen in one view and we can drill down to look at details about a specific object. Once you choose a cluster the dashboard with reload information for that specific cluster.

The Future of Firewall Policies
How IPv6 will change the way we configure firewall policies
Posted on Networkworld.com, 19th January 2012
The majority of today’s firewalls have only IPv4 source and destination address objects in their policies. However, many of our firewalls are IPv6-capable and allow security administrators to configure either IPv4 or IPv6 policies. Over time, maintaining two firewall policies will become burdensome.

Palo Alto Networks Finds 2011 Was The Year Enterprises Became Social
ReadWriteWeb.com – 17 January 2012
A new report by Palo Alto Networks that analyzes data captured by their customers’ firewalls last year shows that 70 different social networks used by more than 1500 of their customers still only account for about one percent of total Internet bandwidth. But while the actual bandwidth is miniscule, it does seem that last year was the year that enterprises began using social networks in earnest in a wider variety of ways.
