Reviews

  • AutoSave Encrypt
    The encryption system that comes embedded on DVD-RWs or CD-RWs. Ingenious or just expensive?
  • Passpack privacy manager 6.2

  • UTM's weakness: a single point of failure
    The team had a wealth of options. They could have chosen to install one or more UTM appliances, devices that handle multiple threats from a single chassis, or opted for a series of single function, best of breed appliances. So, which one was it to be?
