NETFLASH: BREAKING NEWS FROM NETWORKWORLD.COM

By Jeff Caruso

Cisco is late to the LAN authentication game, with other vendors
way out in front with this. But Cisco is also the big kid on the
block, so perhaps it can afford to be late with Network
Admission Control Phase II (written with a Roman numeral for
added importance). What do you think?

RSA boosts security of single sign-on

RSA is integrating SecurID with its Sign-On Manager - and that
means saving a step for users authenticating via RSA's popular
SecurID technology.

Review: Data Protection Manager is a decent step for Microsoft

Microsoft has made its first attempt at tending to
enterprisewide data protection. In our Clear Choice Test of the
newly released Data Protection Manager 1.0, we found that it
does a respectable job at data backup/restore, archiving and
management, but it's strictly limited to Microsoft-only machines
and does not yet support Microsoft's full range of applications.

New appliance lets users control remote PCs

A start-up is launching an appliance that lets help desk staff
take control of remote computers without the time-consuming
tasks of installing and maintaining dedicated software on the
remote machines.

IBM and BEA make RFID moves

As consumer goods companies and other businesses feel the
pressure to advance their RFID efforts from pilot to large-scale
production mode, IBM and BEA Systems are among vendors standing
by with new wares.
