Data files are immediately available after booting from a snapshot. BootBack runs on Windows 2003/XP/2000. Pricing starts at $44 per workstation and $347 per server.

Secure Logon and Logoff Activity
http://www.isdecisions.com, info@isdecisions.com
IS Decisions announced UserLock 3.0, software that tracks, notifies, and secures the logon and logoff activity of your domains. The software runs as a Windows NT service and can limit the number of simultaneous connections allowed under the same username on an entire Windows 2000 or NT network. UserLock sets pop-up or email notifications for permitted or denied logon and logoff, creates a comma-separated value (CSV) log file that tracks logon and logoff activity, lets you choose which users and groups to limit, and restricts the computers to which those users or groups can log on according to computer name or by IP range. UserLock works on all network LANs and WANs. UserLock 3.0 now features support for terminal sessions (i.e., Citrix Systems' Citrix ICA and Microsoft RDP). The software runs on Windows 2003/XP/2000/NT systems and costs $54 for 10 users.

Search for Rogue Nodes
http://www.neon.com,
925-283-9771, sales@neon.com
Neon Software released Continuous Scan, intrusion-detection and prevention software for its LANsurveyor network diagram and management software. Administrators use LANsurveyor to create one or more network diagrams and verify the network nodes on those maps. Continuous Scan uses the maps as the network baseline for authorized nodes and constantly searches for rogue nodes that don't match authorized nodes. The software uses several search methods including Ping, NetBIOS, and SNMP queries to find new nodes. When the software discovers a new node, it adds the node to the Threat List. When you determine the node isn't a threat, you can enable network access for the node directly from the Threat List. Continuous Scan costs $249 as an option to LANsurveyor Management Station and LANsurveyor Workgroup Edition. Continuous Scan is bundled with LANsurveyor Enterprise Edition.
