Network Security - Multinet 5.2 Webinar

[Richard J Maher]

Hi,

Just a heads-up reminder about tomorrow's webinar on Multinet for VMS security from Process Software. This is not Spam 'cos I don't know them and they don't know me, and I'm getting nothing out of this, but you'd be an absolute mug to miss it!

Multinet has IPsec in current versions but 5.2 will no longer require static-keys (or pre-shared secrets) Don't you want to be the master of the universe and say "Secure this port# to these servers!" or "Secure all communication between nodes A and B" with no SSL or SSH tunnelling? Do you want to automagically stop your database-attach usernames and passwords from being sent in the clear, over the internet?

Either way, you'll certainly want to secure your distributed Windows2000 MSDTC<->VMS hotTIP communication! Don't want any spoofing or man-in-the-middle attacks going on there!!! And what about all your upcoming Java Applet/Socket Web applications? If your talking INETd servers with no password then you're OK as is, but when you realize that you need the scalability, functionality, and security of Tier3, then you'll need to protect those Username/Password messages!

It's on tomorrow, so sign-up now!

PS, If you're waiting for IPsec with TCP/IP from HP then don't hold your breath :-( Just like Row Ca$h with Rdb, when it comes to HP/VMS "If it ain't RTR then it just ain't!". If this is the level of commitment that HP shows to the TCP/IP Services product then one could be forgiven for wondering if it's not time to change IP stack :-(
