Sophos's Richard Jacobs discusses how IT security can be improved through control.

Sophos, a world leader in IT security and control, today announced that it has published a new podcast on how businesses can improve their IT security through control.

In the podcast, Sophos CTO Richard Jacobs explores the concept of the dissolving network perimeter, discusses how security solutions are addressing new challenges, and offers some advice on how IT administrators can control and manage their users.

"Network administrators are constantly being pushed to open their networks to allow users to work from home, use mobile devices, and so on, yet they are expected to maintain the same high-levels of computer security. It sounded like a virtually impossible task to me, so I asked Sophos's CTO, Richard Jacobs, what he thought of this issue," said Carole Theriault, host of the Sophos podcast. "In this podcast, Richard talks about what companies can do to make their users happy, reduce the need for resource, and not compromise on security."

All Sophos podcasts are available for download at www.sophos.com/podcasts. Previous podcasts have covered topics such as image spam, phishing, Microsoft Windows Vista, zero-day threats, managed appliances, corporate security policies, network access control, web threats, and rootkits.

  • SQL injection attacks are the biggest threat
  • 90% of malware on legitimate sites
  • Hackers exploit Web 2.0
