Due to the rise of cloud computing and IoT (Internet of Things), enterprises all over the world have become highly concerned towards cyber security threats such as breaches. In fact, major corporations have invested billions of dollars into massive network segmentation process. Their IT teams have to operate among various networking appliances, familiarize themselves with different software interfaces and learn to handle complicated settings of each network segments. However, only large corporations can afford such infrastructure investments. For small and medium enterprises (SMEs), they need an economical solution for converged networking applications in data processing, cyber security and wireless management.

Instant messaging has become a necessary tool not just on consumer and daily user level, but also widely adopted on enterprise aspect for its spontaneous and intuitive interface. This can be observed obviously since the desktop PC era. Especially in today’s globalized business environment, instant messaging is gaining higher momentum on enterprise adoptions and on both desktop and mobile communication devices. The nature of mobile instant messaging allows individuals to communicate simultaneously with one or more others and in today’s corporate settings, there is almost zero tolerance for communication failure. This has become a major challenge for corporate IT management as there may be more unplanned downtimes and unexpected cyber attacks to happen due to heavy traffic and reliance on mobile instant messaging. Therefore, it is a major challenge for IT management staff to ensure secured and steady network infrastructures.

DDoS, the abbreviation of “Distributed Denial-of-Service”, is a malicious attempt against websites, servers, or networks unavailable to provide its services or resources to its intended users. Usually, targets of DDoS are high-profile sites such as government agencies, giant corporations, financial institutions, major cloud service providers, telecommunication businesses, and politically related groups. The following article will discuss the background and types of DDoS attacks, and also get into the methods of prevention and protection.

With the rapid rise of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) phenomenon contributed by the widespread of smart mobile devices, the increasing implementations of wireless accessing points (APs) in corporate environments have become an attraction for potential network intrusion and data theft. As software-based measures have been found with numerous loopholes, corporations have to rely on hardware-assistance for total solution in BYOD environment. The following will discuss the BYOD situations in details and present a hardware-assisted total solution with multiple advantages including Intel x86 firewall architecture and high-port density, which are optimally deployable for BYOD settings.
