Cisco Firewall Security Alert: Strengthening Protections Against Code Theft

The efforts of the "Source Code Club" to sell the source code to Cisco firewalls may be despicable, but they may also be a blessing in disguise. By making a public show of Cisco's inability to keep its secrets to itself, these desperados may actually be doing us all a big favor. . . ..

By making a public show of Cisco's inability to keep its secrets to itself, these desperados may actually be doing us all a big favor. This is not the first time Cisco has been targeted by source code thieves. In May, its IOS 12.3 code was compromised. IOS (Internetwork Operating System) is used in Cisco routers from home offices to branch offices, enterprise networks, and the Internet backbone itself.

This is the second article in a three-part series that will examine privacy concerns as they relate to security. The first installment in the series examined hardware-based privacy issues and solutions. This article will discuss software-based issues and solutions. As we shall see, some software is designed to safeguard privacy, while other software seems designed to compromise it. In the previous article in this series, we covered hardware firewall-routers. Firewalls are an important part of a privacy protection strategy because they prevent intruders from gaining access to valuable information that is stored on a computer. Now let's look at firewalls that run on individual computers. Known as personal, or PC, firewalls, these are different from hardware firewall-routers in several ways. The best PC firewalls track incoming and outgoing traffic, and allow users to set up rules governing what programs on the computer will be allowed to establish connections to the Internet. Best of all, many PC firewalls are free, although even if they are available commercially, prices tend to be reasonable. The link for this article located at SecurityFocus is no longer available. . As technology evolves, software-related privacy issues intensify.
