XO Communications has launched a new cloud-based security solution for businesses that offers wireless network security capabilities for quick and cost-effective deployment and management across enterprise networks. The cloud-based service delivers robust security without requiring the purchase of premise-based equipment. All the applications are delivered through the XO network as a security as a service offering.

There is also an online management portal where customers can manage their entire network . Security as a service offers mid-sized and larger enterprises the opportunity to simplify the management of their security requirements and provide unified threat management solutions across the enterprise. This solution is especially helpful for multi-location companies that want to reduce IT costs at each location. Since all applications reside in the cloud, organizations with widely distributed operations can implement robust security services without having to manage and maintain infrastructure at each location.

There are numerous holes in NASA'a internal computer network security, making it extremely vulnerable to external cyber-attacks, reported an audit by NASA's Office of the Inspector General. What makes the situation worse is the fact that these weaknesses in the network security have been known for months and yet remained unrepaired.

The audit report released by Inspector General, Paul K, stated that six computer servers related to controlling spacecrafts and containing critical data were found to have vulnerabilities in their network security, allowing a potential attacker to take control or even render them unavailable.

"The attacker could exploit this weak network security and us these compromised computers to degrade or cripple NASA's operations," revealed the report. "We also found network servers that revealed encryption keys, passwords and user account information to potential hackers," it added.

This is hardly shocking though, as NASA's networks are now long known to be weak and their security vulnerable. What is shocking, however, is that nothing is done yet to remedy the situation.
