whitepaper Using Email Encryption to Enforce Security Policies for PCI, GLBA & HIPAA Compliance2008-08-27 Proofpoint
  Ensuring your organization complies with today's increasingly complex regulations and industry mandates around email and data security can be both a legal and technical mine field.

First you need to understand what data should be protected. Then you need to determine who in your organization has access to that data and is sending it to people outside of the organization. You also need to invest in technology to enforce your compliance policies. It can be intimidating for any IT department.

Hearing how your peers have tackled these challenges can help you plan your approach to finding a solution.

Watch the webinar, "Use Email Encryption to Enforce Security Policies for PCI, GLBA and HIPAA Compliance" and hear product expert Rami Habal discuss how Proofpoint customers have used integrated email encryption and data loss prevention technologies to tackle a wide variety of outbound email compliance challenges.

View this webinar to learn:
  • The impact of regulations like HIPAA, PCI and GLBA on email security policies and why automatic, policy-based, email encryption should be a central part of your approach to compliance.
  • Key criteria you should consider when evaluating solutions to protect private and confidential data.
  • How to make sense of appliances, in-the-Cloud services and hybrid deployment models - and how to choose the ideal solution for your enterprise.
  • What it takes to deploy a solution to prevent leaks of confidential information in email messages, including financial data, private health information, credit card numbers and other sensitive materials.
  • How, with Proofpoint, organizations can transmit sensitive data via email while operating more efficiently and improving the levels of service and convenience they deliver to their customers.

whitepaper Enriching Network Security Analysis With Time Travel2008-08-22 Association for Computing Machinery
  In many situations it can be enormously helpful to archive the raw contents of a network traffic stream to disk, to enable later inspection of activity that becomes interesting only in retrospect. The paper presents a Time Machine (TM) for network traffic that provides such a capability. The TM leverages the heavy-tailed nature of network flows to capture nearly all of the likely-interesting traffic while storing only a small fraction of the total volume. An initial proof-of-principle prototype established the forensic value of such an approach, contributing to the investigation of numerous attacks at a site with thousands of users.

whitepaper Global Best Practices in Email Security, Privacy and Compliance2008-08-04 Proofpoint
  A new generation of email security solutions is needed to meet the challenges of growing message traffic, rapidly-evolving security threats and increasingly complex data protection and privacy regulations worldwide.

Securing inbound email - while challenging enough - is less difficult than maintaining compliance with the complex, overlapping and sometimes conflicting global regulations that govern data privacy, transactional ethics and corporate governance.

Some of these regulations are designed to stop sources of spam, viruses and spyware. Others intend to make companies more responsible for the protection of customers' privacy and more accountable for the substance of their financial reports.

All have a pronounced affect on corporate email. Download this whitepaper from Ziff Davis and Proofpoint to learn more about:
  • Email security mandates for the protection of non-public information (NPI) and company confidential information
  • The impact of financial reporting regulations on email security
  • Addressing increased security and productivity threats such as spam, viruses and spyware
  • Lessons learned in specific vertical industries such as Financial Services, Health Care and Public Sector

whitepaper Systematic Structural Testing of Firewall Policies2008-07-29 North Carolina State University
  Firewalls are the mainstay of enterprise security and the most widely adopted technology for protecting private networks. As the quality of protection provided by a firewall directly depends on the quality of its policy (i.e., configuration), ensuring the correctness of firewall policies is important and yet difficult. To help ensure the correctness of a firewall policy, this paper proposes a systematic structural testing approach for firewall policies. It defines structural coverage (based on coverage criteria of rules, predicates, and clauses) on the policy under test. To achieve high structural coverage effectively, three automated packet generation techniques are developed: the random packet generation, the one based on local constraint solving, and the most sophisticated one based on global constraint solving.
