SEATTLE, WA -- Specialized Systems Consultants, Inc. (SSC) today announced the release of the OpenSSH Reference card (ISBN: 1-57831-020-2, US$4.95, 10 pages). The product, authored by Linux Journal Editor in Chief, Don Marti, is a concise guide to OpenSSH, a suite of tools that enables encrypted network communication.

The OpenSSH Reference card is the newest product in SSC Publications' Reference Card line, a series of handy booklets that provide computer professionals of all skill levels with uncluttered, task-specific information to help them work more efficiently.

"We've seen numerous companies and individuals become much more vigilant about Internet security," said Carlie Fairchild, SSC Publications' VP of Marketing. "To their credit, they've been implementing OpenSSH, a tool that performs inherently insecure functions like ftp, telnet, rlogin in a secure way. OpenSSH effectively eliminates connection hijacking and eavesdropping by encrypting all traffic, including passwords. The OpenSSH Reference card is the definitive guide for users of any background who want to get started with OpenSSH without the hassle of clutter. The product includes everything from basic commands to 'recipes' for common network security tasks."

Fabric-Based Computing Enables Optimized Hyperscale Data Centers

Today’s modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a “one size fits all” enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
