Non-standard UNIX applications can be modified to accept encryption. CipherLink currently runs on HP-UX and other UNIX platforms. WebShield is the companion product to WebScan, McAfee's anti-virus scanner for Web browsers. WebShield's anti-virus detection can be easily updated each month with McAfee's virus signature updates, which provide protection against the estimated 200 new viruses that are discovered each month. WebShield resides independent of the network firewall and uses a dual-home architecture, which uses two network interface cards and provides an added barrier to potentially infected traffic.
All network traffic is scanned between the cards, alerting administrators to any detected viruses.
HP VEE Prentice Hall PTR and Hewlett-Packard have announced Visual Programming with HP VEE by Robert Helsel, a guide to using the HP VEE, a visual programming language that can reduce development time by up to 80 percent. The book is a quick introduction to the fundamentals of programming with HP VEE 3.2. The book covers test programs, instrument control, reports creation, HP VEE functions, and HP VEE programs optimization. A new Suprtool module, STExport, lets users prepare data for export from HP-UX to virtually any other application or operating platform, without requiring users to write custom programs. Users can choose between SQL or Suprtool sort commands, using the one that gives the best performance.
