Microsoft Forefront suite is supposed to be good, but for the love of all things holy do not touch trendmicro office scan with a 50' barge poll.
Whats wrong with Trend? We have used it for a couple of year now and it never caused an issue unlike Norton, McAfee, AVG where performance was always an problem. Maybe things have changed so I am just curiuos.

We've actually made a decision last week. We've decided to go with ZixCorp. They have more of what we are looking for.
Zixcorp specializes in my industry and many of our partners use them as there solution. They provide the public keys and act as a message portal for the recipient via a web page hosted and hosted by Zixcorp but with our branding. Pretty much minimizing the crap I got to deal with. Also all encryption will be done at the gate with an appliance they provide and maintain and not at our smtp server. The encryption is policy based and they can even scan 60+ different attachment types.The pricing is not to bad either and is comparable to others out there that offer close to the benefits. It comes down to about $8000 per year for 3 years.
PLUS NO USER INTERACTION... :)

We are currently using tls configured with several companies, some basic dektop email encryption programs which requires end user action and is not all users have it, and then of course password protecting attachments (also requires end user action). Our goal is to make all encryption seemless without any end user interaction and also based on policy's to automate what should be encrypted what should not be.

Do you think schools should show the speech by president Obama
Me?
Yes, BUT the parents see if first and let their kid see it if they want them too, unless your a senoir who is 18 then let them (they are adults).
The speech had nothing to do with HC and did not contain any policy's what's so ever. President, whether Dem or Rep have been doing it for decades. When the first Bush talked to the students the Dems cried about just as now. The opposing side will always look for the bad first in there opponent. It's just with the web and the 24hr news channels every small things tend to grow much faster and republicans have learned how to control it the best.. i mean... they have their own channel for god's sake.

Seeing that the "hacker" community by nature is a security community I thought I would turn to anyone here that could provide me with some insight. Here's my situation....
I have been looking at email encryption options for our company and have narrowed it down to 2 different companies, Zixcorp or Appriver. Both seem to be very good companies from what I can tell. But the major sticking point to these companies is that they don't rely on the end user to manually decrypt anything, it is either done by the company its self or an appliance. No end user actions required.... VERY IMPORTANT.
I would like to know if anyone has any "real world" knowledge on either of these companies or if anyone has any other options that I should look into.
Bottom line.... I work for a company that is required to follow certain laws including all HIPPA laws which are being updated this year and our current form of encryption just won't be enough anymore.

Moonlit makes a valid point. The term "hacking" is a for to generic. I find it odd that back in the day "hacking" not only involved finding/discovering different uses, holes, flaws for something it was then after that sharing your discoveries to the masses. How time have changed. Now its all on the DL with a few exeptions like Hak5 of course.
A side not... pickup some 2600 HQ mags.. sometimes in the classifieds they post usefull places. Atleast the used to anyways.

I've been using lunarpages for years. Never had any issues with them like downtime or anything. There support staff is usually pretty quick to respond to any questions. They support asp, php, ruby, pearl, jsp. they also have alot of other features. Maybe something to check out.

Episode 6x02
in Hak5
Awesome!!! thanks for that i have been itching to try Kodiak since Matt mentioned it and was on the wait for beta list and now have it installed and runningI get 20k certificate errors but still a real nice program once the bugs are resolved
Thanks again
You can disable the cert errors by going into the preferences after logging in. go into the "SSL" and change it from no to yes and check off all (last one is optional) the check boxes.

Episode 6x02
in Hak5
Kodiak looks "pretty" but, at least in my enviroment, is almost useless. Unfortunatly many people are having issues connecting to their vCenters and loading the inventory. BUT if you manage ESXi hosts or standalone hosts this would be an excellent tool to have in your bag of tricks. To bad to... its looks promising. I hope they fix their bugs soon.

Episode 5x11
in Hak5
Matt,
Within my vmware structure I have my guest machines on a 1+0 raid. This way we get both read AND write performance oppose to getting only getting read performance form raid 5. I think this is also "best practice" according to vmware... i could be wrong on that. Or am I completely wrong on my line of thought and the raid 50 makes up for the poor write performance of just plain raid 5?

I believe the episode was talking about Microsoft's Steady State which is free and "decent" for home or small office use.

I worked in a school district for a couple years, there is a reason they block you. Its to save you from your self and to save the network from from you. Save the surfing for home. The IT dept. at your school has a enough to worry about... trust me.. I used to be one of them.
