This paper focuses on educating the security professionals with the risks associated with this situation and tries to give brief understanding of various kinds of attacks that attacker may launch and outline of various strategies that can be evaluated and adopted to protect the valuable information assets.

Knowing the exact formular for prime has been a problem as proven the Riemann Hypothesis. With the proof of Fermat’s last theorem in 1994, John Derbyshire the Author of the Mathematical unknown says “The Riemann hypothesis is now the great white whale of Mathematical research” Even before that, it was regarded by mathematicians as the more significant problem though not as old as Fermat’s last theorem.

In this paper, I describe how to write syslog messages to a MySQL database. Having syslog messages in a database is often handy, especially when you intend to set up a front-end for viewing them. This paper describes an approach with rsyslogd, an alternative enhanced syslog daemon natively supporting MySQL. I describe the components needed to be installed and how to configure them.

This paper discusses advanced configuration of IPS to reflect the changing network topology using feedback from an event analysis tool. The events analyzed by incident response tools can be used to find out the false positives and the signatures required in the IPS. Using the analyzed event pool data, IPS can be dynamically configured to reduce the false positives, improve the incident response time and improve the performance by reducing the load on the IPS.

Cryptography has been employed for keeping secrets since the time of Caesar. From the simplest ciphers of shifting letters, to mathematically provably secure ciphers of today, cryptography has progressed a long way. It also has widened to a number of uses and capabilities to fit an ever growing number of applications. Cryptography makes it possible to keep data secure over an insecure network.
