Hardware : Neural Impulse Actuator

OCZ’s Neural Impulse Actuator (nia) marks a new era in gaming. Rather than being a substitute for a mouse, the nia is a pioneering new peripheral to be used in conjunction with your mouse for a more immersive gaming experience. The nia is compatible with any PC game using keyboard input… past, present, or future. Predefined profiles included with the software allow the gamer to develop their own nia—memory to launch the desired behavior of their character and shoot with the “blink of an eye”, without lifting a finger.

Play Games Using Biosignals
Translate electrical biosignals of your body directly into computer commands and take advantage of total immersion into game play. Customize behavioral profiles of your character and let your subconsciousness take over.

Hone Your Reflexes
Where others have to practice reaction times, you can use reflex-based game play to get the better of your opponents by cutting your reaction time by 50%.

Use Space-Age Technology
The headband uses carbon nanofiber-based sensors to provide the highest possible dynamic range for the recording of bioelectrical signals that are amplified and digitized and further de-convoluted into computer commands.

Become Your Character
Streaming biopotentials into the computer and witnessing real-time feedback through the game will result in a novel way to experience virtual reality. Enter a virtual world where abstractions like keyboard commands are replaced by intentions converted into tensions and translated into command structures.

What Is Firewall Software?

Firewalls enable organizations to maintain the privacy and confidentiality of enterprise information communicated through computer networks. Firewalls limit the information that can be passed from the enterprise to external locations. They work as components of information security systems, or function independently to limit the damage arising from intrusion or malicious software (“malware”) such as viruses, Trojans, and worms. They also serve as a defense against such malware vectors as botnets


Firewall Software Business Drivers and Benefits

Firewall systems help in identifying and analyzing threats to an enterprise’s network security by
allowing secure data transfer from multiple devices and locations on different types of networks
ensuring the safety of valuable IT assets through the use of different security protocols including data encryption, symmetric-key algorithms, and other methods providing a secure connection between terminals or remote offices using an intranet, an extranet, or the Internet supporting business rules or network security rules that identify incoming potential threats and prevent them from entering the enterprise network aiding in compliance with the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), and other regulations such as payment card industry security standards automatically analyzing potential new threats to security and notifying system administrators about those threats


Firewall Risks

Organizations without effective firewall systems run the risk of company-wide threats to security:
Unauthorized users, both internal and external, can access private networks through password theft and corrupt confidential information.
Without intrusion protection, external threats cannot be detected and blocked.
Without firewall rule sets and protocols with specific criteria for blocking traffic (“default-deny” rather than “default-allow”), unauthorized traffic can enter the network.


Why Use the Firewall Evaluation Center?

Compare firewall applications to see which ones offer the functionality critical to protecting your IT infrastructure.
Make sure your shortlisted vendors offer not only intrusion detection, but also blocking, encryption, and authentication capabilities that are a good fit for your network requirements.
Shortlist the firewall vendors that allow you to establish business rules specific to your needs.
