"Sensitive information that needs to be safeguarded is everywhere. It's on our computers, traveling through networks, and even in our fingerprints," said Bill Howell, vice president and General Manager of FOSE. "The need for products that guard our information is critical to us -- not only as a nation shielding our freedoms, but as individuals protecting our identities. FOSE will feature companies that can monitor, protect, destroy, and recover information -- from an individual's social security number to classified military documents -- and introduce them to the buyers who are in need of these vital technologies."

Here are a few of the leading companies that will highlight security products and solutions:

-- AirWave Wireless of San Mateo, California will feature the recently released AirWave Wireless Management System Version 5.0. New technologies make wireless access everywhere possible -- indoors and outdoors, in vast warehouses and small remote offices. These new 'Everywhere Networks' require the use of multiple wireless technologies and architectures, encompassing literally thousands of infrastructure devices. AirWave's Wireless Management System 5.0 lets IT departments centrally monitor all users, control, and secure the entire wireless network infrastructure from a single console no matter where the users are or how many facilities the networks cover. -- American Power Conversion (APC) of West Kingston, Rhode Island will exhibit its InfraStruXure(R) InRow(TM) RP, its new cooling unit for data centers and small computer rooms that helps increase the availability and reliability of IT systems, thus protecting the data within.

Metron tracks departments/employees bandwidth usage and time spent surfing/chatting. Reports on top surfers/chatters and alerts when thresholds are reached or secure tunnel sessions are initiated. Locate dynamically matches people to their use of PCs, IPs, and switch ports, creating a historic record for forensics and compliance audits. Locate alerts when people or PCs move, automating asset tracking and network documentation. Locate911 with 911 Enable is a low cost, plug-and-play VoIP phone tracking and e911compliance solution. -- Gateway, Inc. of Irvine, South Dakota will demonstrate GatewayShield, its identity management and security solution.

It is also the first 4-factor authentication solution to combine a privacy-sensitive ScramblePad(R) (for secure PIN entry), contact and contactless smart card readers, biometric fingerprint reader, and PKI certificate checking. The unit is IP addressable and communicates XML to/from the card management system, PACS, and PKI certificate authorities. -- Microlite Corporation of Aliquippa, Pennsylvania will demonstrate BackupEDGE for Linux. BackupEDGE is a secure data archiving and disaster recovery product for tapes, CD, DVD, REV, NAS, and removable media. Offering file-by-file data protection and a flexible scheduling system, BackupEDGE can safely archive every file, directory, device node, and special file on a system, and verify every byte of data on an archive against the original to ensure the archive is an accurate reflection of your data. BackupEDGE also delivers a flexible and robust encryption system with key management to ensure data protection and security, and bare metal disaster recovery. -- Motorola, Inc. of Schaumburg, Illinois will showcase the Seamless Mobile Broadband Command vehicle, featuring a comprehensive suite of incident command and law enforcement technologies. Even at highway speeds, Motorola MOTOMESH broadband networks provide internet connectivity to use mission critical applications, live video, and remote database access to share critical information rapidly.

Both are available in capacities up to 8GB and feature titanium-coated stainless steel casings that protect against water damage to depths up to four feet. -- PacStar(TM) of Portland, Oregon will exhibit two of its advanced deployable, secure communications systems. The first is PacStar's 5500, which provides full PBX capabilities with secure voice, data and video in a portable, field-hardened case. With its embedded IQ- Core(TM) software, the system is easy to set up, operate and maintain in the field. The second is a new, easily transportable satellite- based system that provides military small teams, first responders and border patrols with reliable voice and data in a small footprint. Both units enable interoperable command-and-control communications capabilities in remote or infrastructure-starved areas. -- WildPackets, Inc. of Walnut Creek, California will demonstrate its OmniAnalysis solutions. The OmniAnalysis platform comprises OmniPeek network analyzers and consoles, as well as distributed OmniEngines, which analyze data at remote locations on the network. Major Wi-Fi infrastructure providers now report that at least 30% of problems reported by Wi-Fi customers are due to interference, from cordless phones, wireless surveillance cameras, Bluetooth devices and microwave ovens. The OmniSpectrum Analyzer reads and interprets this RF activity and identifies the devices that are consuming 802.11 bandwidth on a/b/g networks.

Also on the security forefront at FOSE is the Secure Fortress Theater. Located in booth 355, the Secure Fortress Theater will feature interactive discussions about critical homeland, cyber security, identity management, privacy, and information assurance solutions.
