Network security is important in both the public and private sectors. Our nation’s critical infrastructure is dependent upon the secure and uninterrupted flow of sensitive information over the network. In short, the network is the conduit for conducting business in today’s global marketplace as well as ensuring our personal safety and security.
The purpose of this paper is to explain the importance of network security and data protection, the risks most organizations face today and how organizations can improve their ability to protect their critical information assets. The paper also discusses Ponemon Institute research findings about network and data security methods and technologies. These studies track the perceptions of IT security and data protection practitioners. Included in this paper are observations from a panel of five learned IT security experts.

The Netscreen-Remote VPN Client is prone to a remotely exploitable buffer overflow condition. It is possible to trigger this condition by sending malformed IKE packets to the client. The overflow is known to occur when the client attempts to process an IKE packet with several valid payloads.
It may be possible to exploit this condition to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the client. This issue is known to result in a denial of service condition in a vulnerable client.
This vulnerability affects versions of the client on all platforms.
