On October 23, 2007, data center operator and managed services provider Peak 10 (peak10.com) announced that its quarterly Web cast series continues to offer insight and expertise to professionals in the IT industry, which offers a unique perspective on industry trends and how organizations can best use new information to enhance their IT business models and improve their business performance.

The most recent Peak 10 Web cast, entitled "Network Perimeter Security: Securing and Protecting Critical Information Online," revealed the steps necessary for companies to effectively secure their systems and data from unauthorized online access and covered topics like managing firewall security, high availability, VPN security and content filtering along with examples of real-world deployments.
