Bivio Networks to Lead Multiple Sessions at RSA Conference 2007 in San Francisco.

PLEASANTON, Calif. -- Bivio Networks, the leader in high-performance network appliance platforms for deep packet inspection applications, today announced that they will be presenting and facilitating three sessions at the RSA[R] Conference 2007. The conference takes place February 5-9 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

On Tuesday, February 6, Bivio's director of federal sales, Bill Kalogeros will join James Collins, research and development engineer with the Air Force Information Warfare Center in leading a presentation on "Platforms for Secure Military Networks: Defense in Depth and IPv6." Department of Defense (DoD) networks are attacked every 30 seconds. Today, the government is implementing network security applications for defense-in-depth on various hardware platforms. This session will educate attendees on new networking platforms and unclassified techniques that the Federal government is using for defense-in-depth and for understanding the new threats that are evolving as IP traffic increases. In addition, this session will outline the types of security programs and platforms that are most applicable to IPv6/IPv4 traffic management and filtering, multiple IPS sensor deployment, stateful firewall/deep packet inspection, and Unified Threat Management (UTM), as well as other network defense solutions.

The RSA Conference program committee selected the most timely topics and speakers from the record 2,300 submissions that it received in the annual call for papers process. "The professional background and expertise of Mr. Kalogeros of Bivio Networks in the federal field, and James Collins, research and development engineer with the Air Force Information Warfare Center, will make a great addition to our applied security track," said Sandra Toms LaPedis, area vice president and general manager of the RSA Conferences. "Attendees of this security session at this year's Conference will gain valuable insight and knowledge to help them effectively confront today's most important information security issues."

Also on Tuesday, Greg Kopchinski, Bivio's senior manager of product management, will facilitate a Peer2Peer session titled, "Universal Threat Management Platforms: Ready for Prime Time?" UTM has been marketed as an ideal network security solution. The session will evaluate whether network security managers are demanding multi-function security devices or if they prefer platforms optimized for a single solution. Participants will discuss the UTM solutions that are currently being deployed and how they are managed. Finally, participants will be asked where UTM best fits within the enterprise and what is the right mix of security functions on a single platform.

Finally, on Wednesday, February 7, Alex Kleyman, Bivio's vice president of hardware engineering, will facilitate another Peer2Peer session titled, "Technology within the Processor Core: Performance vs. Security Features. What Are the Priorities? What Are the Tradeoffs?" The development of processor core technology continues to accelerate; however, the technology can evolve over divergent paths. One path focuses on optimizing chip performance, while the other focuses on integrating security and packet processing capabilities. This session will allow participants to voice their opinions on processor core technology development and have an impact on the direction development will take.
