Company Name: Texas Bank
Address: www.txbank.com
Business Description: Texas Bank is a financial
institution.
White Paper: Texas Bank purchased PageGate because
it incorporates an ASCII interface with its paging features.
This is used to enhance network security and intrusion
detection capabilities. They currently have a system
that operates in stealth mode(all network protocols
have been removed from the NIC and the NIC has been
disabled. This NIC is then plugged into a span port
on their switch which monitors all network traffic for
intrusion detection). If this system detects an attempt
to gain unauthorized access to their network, it responds
to that attack. In addition, the software has the capability
to write a text file that describes the attack in place.
The ultimate use for PageGate is to send the contents
of the text file to my alphanumeric pager so that the
administrator will know what is happening to their network.
This is important because their switch sits in a telephone
room that the administrator visits only on occasion.
The majority of the time, the room is unattended.
