whitepaper Second-Generation Collaborative Data Integration: Sustainable, Operational, and Governable2008-05-01 SAS Institute
  The system consolidations typical of a green data center require data integration. Recent climate changes and the rising price of electricity have led many people to revisit the sustainability of data centers. In response, many corporations are reducing power consumption and the physical footprint of data centers by consolidating and virtualizing redundant data and hardware servers. Most consolidations require that data be transformed and cleansed to better fit the target, which demands tools and techniques for data integration. So, data integration teams are collaborating with green data center programs to effect the consolidations that make IT more sustainable.

whitepaper Transportation Incident Management: Using 3D Virtual Worlds to Train First Responders2008-04-02
  The I-95 Corridor Coalition, representing agencies at all levels of government in the 15 states through which I-95 passes, recognized the need to develop "Best practices" for first responders to traffic incidents to reduce response time, clear accidents and congestion efficiently, and enhance safety and performance for everyone involved. Through a Steering Committee of police, fire, EMT, towing recovery, and transportation officials, the Coalition appropriated $1.4 million dollars for the development of the Virtual Incident Management Training System, and chose the Center for Advanced Transportation Technology Laboratory (CATT LAB) at the University of Maryland to develop the virtual reality tools necessary to move forward with this initiative. The company deployed Forterra Systems' OLIVE (On-Line Interactive Virtual Environment) platform.

whitepaper Anti-Phishing: How to Prevent Identity Theft and Safeguard Information Assets With Finjan's Active Real-Time Code Inspection2008-04-01 Finjan Software
  Off late cybercriminals are motivated by financial gain, and their main vector of attack has become the Web. One of the techniques they use is Phishing (pronounced "Fishing"), which relates to Web attacks aimed at fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity. Phishing presents a problem for corporations. If their employees are not protected, enterprises could be held liable for not putting protections in place to prevent fraud. An attack could also result in employee login information being compromised, allowing a phisher to get access to an employee's network account and thus accessing confidential information.

whitepaper How to Minimize the Impact of Cybercrime on Your Business: With Finjan's Active Real-Time Code Inspection2008-04-01 Finjan
  Off late cybercriminals are motivated by financial gain, and their main vector of attack has become the Web. They understand too well that signature- and database-reliant solutions are not designed to protect against obfuscated malicious codes served on compromised legitimate sites, Web 2.0 -based attacks, and other dynamic attack vectors that use the Web. These sophisticated Web-based attacks are specifically designed to hit the "Blind Spots" of traditional security systems that rely on signatures or databases (such as anti-virus, URL filtering and reputation based security).

whitepaper SSAC Advisory on Fast Flux Hosting and DNS2008-03-01 Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
  "Fast flux" is an evasion technique that cyber-criminals and Internet miscreants use to evade identification and to frustrate law enforcement and anticrime efforts aimed at locating and shutting down web sites used for illegal purposes. Security professionals, the anti-cybercrime community, and law enforcement agencies have studied fast flux hosting for some time. Fast flux hosting operates on top of a large, distributed network of compromised systems that may very well span the globe. A thriving underground business leases dozens to thousands of compromised systems to Internet miscreants as fast flux service networks.

whitepaper Business Intelligence in SAP Environments: Understanding the Value of Complementary BI Solutions2008-02-21 Inforte
  Two fundamental ways Specialist BI and Niche BI can complement SAP capabilities are in the areas of end-user usability and data integration (especially non-SAP data and data quality management). For those customers who are looking for complementary capabilities to their SAP BW and SAP ERP Reporting, it is important to remember that not all solution providers know how to effectively bolt-on or bolt-in to SAP, even if they are SAP NetWeaver-certified. There are differing levels of breadth and depth in complementing and integrating with SAP that can make or break hybrid architectures. Only Specialist BI or Niche BI providers with a detailed understanding of, long demonstrated history with, and high degree of investment commitment in SAP can effectively make hybrid solutions work.

whitepaper Federal Guide to the Value of Encryption: Encryption From Check Point Can Reduce Recurring Financial Risks of Security Exposure by 90 Percent2008-02-01 Check Point Software Technologies
  Encryption is a cyber security technology used to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information stored on or transmitted between computers. Encryption solutions from Check Point automatically obscure digital files and make them unreadable by unauthorized users. The software allows authorized users to automatically decrypt files for use with appropriate applications. The use of these solutions is transparent to users and provides a vital infrastructure service similar to electricity or gas. This paper from Check Point Software is about the economics of encryption. It assesses financial risks to information loss if a federal government agency or department does not use encryption and how those losses can be reduced by using encryption.
