Improving Vulnerability Management with Penetration Testing 2006-10-04 09:41:27 Core Security

Vulnerability management consists of a combination of technologies and processes that can be used to improve an organization's security posture and to support regulatory compliance initiatives. Security managers commonly use vulnerability assessments to determine the security state of their IT systems. However, changing processes and technologies present a challenge to vulnerability assessment tools, as they can go only so far in detecting potential attack paths. In addition, changes in technology and business processes are reducing vulnerability assessment effectiveness even further.

According to Gartner*, deeper penetration testing is now needed to augment existing vulnerability management processes, especially in light of the rising level of targeted attacks.

During this on-demand Webcast, you'll hear from:

John Pescatore, from featured analyst firm Gartner, who discusses the overall state of security, including recent attack trends

Alan Paller of the SANS Institute, who provides insights on how penetration testing can be used to mitigate the impact of these trends

Alan Paller also interviews A. Eben Berry, Director of Network and Security Infrastructure from BlueCross BlueShield of Massachusetts, about why repeatable testing of security defenses is a high priority for his organization.

Veritas NetBackup Bare Metal Restore by Symantec: Best-of-Breed Server Recovery Using Veritas NetBackup Version 6.0 2006-12-22 01:00:21 Symantec

This paper describes Veritas NetBackup Bare Metal Restore (BMR), an option to NetBackup 6.0 that eliminates the need for disparate bare metal recovery methodologies and greatly improves the speed and simplicity of system recovery by providing a common methodology utilizing the normal backup data within NetBackup. When a solution is capable of bare metal recovery, it means that the hardware onto which the system is being recovered can be devoid of an operating system or initialized disks. The standard features of Bare Metal Restore such as the configuration editor, point-in-time recovery, and External Procedures are unequaled in the market today, and demonstrate the leadership of NetBackup in executing the most important part of backup - the restore.

IBM Tivoli Monitoring Express Trial Code 2006-09-15 09:59:33 IBM

IBM Tivoli Monitoring Express, designed for small to mid-sized organizations, delivers management and monitoring capabilities in a solution that is easy to install, easy to deploy, and easy to use, while reducing the complexity of managing heterogeneous environments. With ITM Express, smaller businesses can manage bottlenecks, performance impacts, and outages from a single centralized portal. ITM Express provides users with access to rich availability data that can be used to identify problems early and enable rapid fixes before end users experience significant impact to their performance.

Protecting Server Data in Small and Medium-Sized Businesses 2007-01-23 01:00:26 Iron Mountain Digital (LiveVault)

Protecting critical business information stored on servers in Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs) is increasingly challenging. The pervasive use of computer resources throughout business operations not only continues to increase the volume of business data, but also its importance to the SMB's mission. Ensured, rapid access to this data is as important to the success of the thriving SMB as it is to large enterprises. Further, increasing regulations place greater scrutiny, and potential penalties, on data protection and recovery. Complicating data protection is the fact that it is widely distributed on file/print, email and database servers, with mobile technologies promoting the migration of data throughout the business. Finally, this paper outlines the next steps in evaluating an online disk-based backup solution for SMBs.

Global Enterprise Improves Management, Mobile Access, and More With E-Mail Upgrade 2006-09-14 01:00:16 Microsoft

CNF, a U.S.$3.7 billion enterprise that manages the transportation and logistics for companies worldwide, needs an e-mail system that is reliable, easy to manage, and efficient, while giving its widely dispersed employees the ability to connect to e-mail no matter where they are working. To support these needs, the organization's IT group, CNF Service Company, upgraded to Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and deployed Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access, and Microsoft Office Outlook Mobile Access, in addition to other Microsoft software.

Webcast: Protect Your MSCS Clusters with Offsite Data Replication 2006-09-15 15:34:17 CA XOsoft

Shared storage clusters such as Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS) clusters provide excellent protection from server and application failures. But clusters represent just one layer of resiliency in your data protection strategy. They can't defend your data against many other types of threats, including:

Virus outbreaks

Storage device failures

Power or cooling outages

Fire, floods, or other disasters

Human error

Offsite data replication covers these and other contingencies, but how can it protect your MSCS clusters themselves? That is the question that's explored in this TechRepublic Webcast, sponsored by CA XOsoft and now available on demand.

You'll hear from Bruce Johnson, Administrator of Mail & Directory Services at Boston Properties, one of the largest office property management firms in the United States. To maintain its reputation for being extremely responsive to its tenants' needs, Boston Properties must ensure that its clustered Exchange servers are up and running 24x7. And the way Johnson achieves that is by using CA XOsoft's off-site, cluster-aware, high-availability solution with built-in continuous data protection (CDP) technology.

You'll also hear from Eric Jackson, Strategic Product Advisor to CA XOsoft, who explains how CA XOsoft's replication solution closes the gaps in protection left by MSCS shared storage clusters-without the need to make any configuration changes to your existing clusters.

Regulatory Requirements for Email Backup and Retention 2006-09-12 09:44:20 MessageOne

What is your email archive optimized for? Storage management? Regulatory compliance? Disaster recovery? Is it more risky to save email or throw it away? Does every company really need to archive email? What happens if email messages are destroyed or lost? How you answer these questions can affect your company in the most far-reaching ways, from outcomes of legal cases, to how rapidly you can recover from an outage or disaster, to overall productivity.

Complying with regulations and simply following business best practices today means more than backing up email from your Exchange server - it means having a plan for continuity during an outage, never losing a message, and rapidly locating business records when necessary. This new expert guide, "Regulatory Requirements for Email Backup and Retention," sorts through what today's regulations mean with respect to email archiving policies. You'll also learn about a way to combine email continuity, recovery, and storage management together into one solution.

Effective Remote Office Data Protection 2006-12-16 01:00:21 Symantec

For many companies, protecting remote office data can be a challenge. Companies may perform tape backups at each remote office, but this approach can be unreliable, cumbersome, and expensive. The alternative method, creating backups over a WAN, also poses problems because of the amount of data and the cost of bandwidth. A disk-based data protection approach addresses these hurdles and enables companies to efficiently manage and protect remote office data. Such an approach can also put the brakes on runaway data growth by using fingerprint technology to distinguish unique files and file segments from redundant ones. The bottom line: a disk-based data protection approach enhances an enterprise's ability to ensure the security, availability, and recovery of its remote office operations and data.
