Control System Cyber Vulnerabilities and Potential Mitigation of Risk for Utilities | 2009-02-01 | Juniper Networks |
| Today's global industrial infrastructure includes thousands of electric utilities, water/wastewater management companies, oil and gas suppliers, chemical manufacturers and other facilities critical to daily functioning. At the same time, the control and monitoring system networks that operate these infrastructures are among the most vulnerable targets for hackers, extortionists and disgruntled or ineffective employees. As organizations progressively rely more on off-the-shelf operating systems and Internet-based remote access to carry out production tasks, traditional control networks are open to the worms, viruses and application-level attacks that proliferate online. One means of securing these vulnerable systems, without replacing the entire industrial infrastructure, is to use network-based security.

Many organizations address these diverse needs with a broad palette of tools and technologies, resulting in disjointed integration projects with no leverage or unity between them. This white paper provides a technical overview of a data integration tool that meets the performance, flexibility, productivity, modularity and hot-pluggability requirements of an integration platform.

Cyber Criminality - Is Your Worst Nightmare Coming True? | 2009-01-22 | |
| To summarize, cyber-crime has turned into a well-developed underground market of massive magnitudes. Attack methods are getting more sophisticated every day and organizations of all sizes are potential targets. So what can be done to protect the valuable assets? First of all, it is important to take an overall approach to IT security. The chain is not stronger than the weakest link so it is crucial not to lose sight of the big picture. In order to compromise a website or a network, cyber criminals, or the tools they are using, search for vulnerabilities to exploit. Today, actively managing and eliminating vulnerabilities in order to reduce the risk exposure to an acceptable level is absolutely key.

Brigham Young University-Idaho Builds a Roadmap for Student Growth With Predictive Analysis Tool | 2009-01-01 | Oracle |
| Brigham Young University-Idaho (BYU-Idaho) wanted to evaluate the risk involved in revamping the university's admissions and enrollment structure to accommodate its shift from a two-year to a four-year institution and implement a forecasting system that allows the university to determine how many offers to make to prospective students. The challenge was to predict student enrollment and tuition stream to improve operational efficiency and make more informed decisions about enrollment and staffing and manage the university's scholarship program more effectively. Brigham Young University-Idaho deployed Oracle's Crystal Ball to assess the inherent risk in altering the university's enrollment model and used the application to make better predictions and improve the university's decision-making process for enrollment, tuition, and scholarships.

How the U.S. Border Patrol Employs WAVE Unified Communications Software to Deny Access to Illegal Immigrants, Drug Traffickers and Terrorists | 2009-01-01 | Twisted Pair Solutions |
| The U.S.-Mexico border is the most frequently crossed - both legally and illegally - international border in the world. Unfortunately, Border Patrol communications systems generally fell short of capabilities deemed vital. They lacked any inherent interoperability and portions of the existing hardware had become obsolete, making repairs difficult and expansion impossible. Alongside a process of upgrading field radios, Tucson Sector was pursuing a new IP telephony system. In light of the restrictive circumstances and the crucial need for interagency communications in securing America's borders, Nortel Government Solutions, a Certified WAVE Integrator, presented a WAVE-based system as the only solution that could deliver.
