Abstract: Network devices within an enterprise are configured to pass out-of-band security information such as heartbeats, notifications of compromise, device identification information, and so forth between logical or physical network partitions such as subnets, routing domains, access points, and so forth. This technique can advantageously facilitate integrated management of endpoints across network boundaries that might otherwise interfere with the identification and management of specific devices.

Abstract: A roll-up type capacitor includes a cylindrical part, a first external electrode, and a second external electrode. The cylindrical part is a rolled-up laminate in which a lower electrode layer, a dielectric layer and an upper electrode layer are laminated in this order. The first external electrode is electrically connected to the upper electrode layer, and the second external electrode is electrically connected to the lower electrode layer, and the first external electrode and the second external electrode are respectively located on opposed sides of the cylindrical part such that they face to each other.

Abstract: An endpoint in an enterprise network is configured to respond to internal and external detections of compromise in a manner that permits the endpoint to cooperate with other endpoints to secure the enterprise network. For example, the endpoint may be configured to self-isolate when local monitoring detects a compromise on the endpoint, and to respond to an external notification of compromise of another endpoint by restricting communications with that other endpoint.

Abstract: Secure management of an enterprise network is improved by creating a network adapter fingerprint for an endpoint that identifies all of the network adapters for that endpoint. With this information, the location and connectivity of the endpoint can be tracked and managed independent of the manner in which the endpoint is connecting to the enterprise network.

Abstract: A network address translation device or similarly situated network device can cooperate with endpoints on a subnet of an enterprise network to secure endpoints within the subnet. For example, the network address translation device may be configured, either alone or in cooperation with other network devices, to block traffic from a compromised endpoint to destinations outside the subnet, and to direct other endpoints within the subnet to stop network communications with the compromised endpoint.

Abstract: Endpoints within a subnet of a heterogeneous network are configured to cooperatively respond to internal or external notifications of compromise in order to protect the endpoints within the subnet and throughout the enterprise network. For example, each endpoint may be configured to self-isolate when a local security agent detects a compromise, and to shun one of the other endpoints in response to a corresponding notification of compromise in order to prevent the other, compromised endpoint from communicating with other endpoints and further compromising other endpoints either within the subnet or throughout the enterprise network.

Abstract: A threat management facility detects a device on an enterprise network and determines whether the device is one of a set of managed devices for the enterprise network. When the device is not one of the set of managed devices, the threat management facility may selectively direct the device to a portal that provides support to the user of the device while the device awaits admission to the enterprise network. As the user interacts with the portal, the portal may manage admission of unrecognized devices onto the enterprise network while making efficient use of network administrator resources.

Abstract: A threat management facility detects a device on an enterprise network and determines whether the device is one of a set of managed devices for the enterprise network. When the device is not one of the set of managed devices, the threat management facility may determine whether the device is manageable. When the device is unrecognized and unmanageable, a portal may provide support to a user of the device by listing the device on an unclaimed device page published by the portal and accessible to authorized users of the enterprise network. An authorized user may claim the unrecognized device from the unclaimed device page and, in the process, may provide additional information regarding the unrecognized device. Once claimed, the previously unrecognized device may be permitted to communicate over the enterprise network.

Abstract: A threat management facility detects a device on an enterprise network and determines whether the device is one of a set of managed devices for the enterprise network. When the device is not one of the set of managed devices, the device may be directed to a portal that manages admission of unrecognized devices onto the enterprise network. Based on a response of the unrecognized device to the portal (e.g., if the unrecognized device does not respond to the portal), the device may be listed on an unclaimed device page published by the portal and accessible to authorized users of the enterprise network. An authorized user may claim the unrecognized device from the unclaimed device page and, in the process, may provide additional information regarding the unrecognized device. Once claimed, the previously unrecognized device may be permitted to communicate over the enterprise network.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the fields of physics, material sciences and micro and nano electronics, and concerns a method for producing a rolled-up electrical or electronic component, as can be used for example as a capacitor, or in aerials. The object of the present invention is to provide a low-cost, environmentally friendly and time-saving method for producing a rolled-up electrical or electronic component with many windings. The object is achieved by a method for producing a rolled-up component in which at least two functional and insulating layers, alternately arranged fully or partially over one another, are applied to a substrate with a sacrificial layer, wherein at least the functional or insulating layer that is arranged directly on the sacrificial layer has a perforation, at least on the two sides that are arranged substantially parallel to the rolling direction.
