Getting Started With McAfee Host Data Loss Prevention | 2008-03-01 | McAfee |
| Though external threats and attacks remain a major concern for CIOs and CSOs, loss of the company's most valued data often is the result of insider actions. Some of these actions are intentional and malicious, but the larger percentage is accidental and unintended, the result of employees' ignorance about data protection policies or their willingness to skirt policies in order to work more productively. In response to this challenge, enterprises are deploying Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions to block sensitive information from leaving the company via unauthorized channels, while still enabling legitimate business activity.

Educational System Cuts Spam, Millions in Costs, With Hosted E-Mail Filtering Solution | 2008-03-01 | Microsoft |
| The Kentucky Department of Education manages the public educational system for the state's 174 school districts. An internal IT services group, the Office of Education Technology (OET), oversees the schools' Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 e-mail environment, which has more than 750,000 mailboxes. That environment was plagued with a growing spam problem, which slowed down the system and resulted in lost time and productivity for students, teachers, and IT administrators. To fix the problem, OET deployed a hosted spam-filtering solution from Microsoft Exchange Hosted Services. Since then, the department has seen improved protection against spam while realizing millions of dollars in savings related to e-mail management costs. The department's solution has also restored lost instructional and administrative time, and empowered individual school districts with better e-mail management tools.

Making Use of SPNEGO in Your J2EE and .NET Client Applications | 2008-02-28 | IBM |
| SPNEGO, or the Simple and Protected GSSAPI Negotiation Mechanism, enables a straightforward Single Sign-On (SSO) environment for WebSphere in Microsoft Active Directory environments. In addition to SSO for web applications, SPNEGO can also be used to authenticate both J2EE and .NET web services clients. This paper explain how both J2EE clients and .NET clients can generate client stubs from exported web services, and then engage the SPNEGO protocol to provide SSO authentication to the WebSphere Application Server hosting these services. RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 was used as the OS to host the instance of WebSphere Application Server for the examples. An instance of Windows Server 2003 hosted the Active Directory and a Windows XP instance in the AD domain was used to host the application clients.

How to Protect Business From Malware at the Endpoint and the Perimeter | 2008-02-28 | Webroot Software |
| Financial motives are triggering a massive explosion of malware variants and spam designed to evade traditional signature-based detection mechanisms. In the early days, it was all about the destructive nature of virus. Today, however, IT management must contend with highly sophisticated spyware. Keyloggers, rootkits and Trojans are the fundamental building blocks of third generation malware that is delivered via spam and infected Web sites. The number of possible variants created for this malware is unlimited and is contributing to exponential growth that is clogging both computers and networks. Computers running slower than usual, rapidly shrinking free space on the hard disk, slower Internet connection due to increased network traffic, or applications starting themselves could be signs of an infection.

Why You Need Email Encryption: Use Case Scenarios | 2008-02-26 | Proofpoint |
| "Identity theft is a top concern for consumers right now, so we can't let their credit card information get into the wrong hands. Proofpoint is extremely accurate at detecting any sensitive information that's being sent out and it allows us to automatically encrypt that data so it's always safe." - Steven Romero, Systems Engineer, Outback Steakhouse
DSS, GLBA, HIPAA, OMB, PCI, and PIIG are just a few of the standards and regulations that place additional constraints on how data is stored, processed, and transmitted. Adopting best practices for protecting the sensitive or private information valued by your company, customers, employees and partners adds a new complexity to email security. Outbound email and other electronic communications (such as web-based email, blog postings, FTP and other messaging streams) pose a significant risk for data loss or data leakage. Solutions to mitigate this risk must include easy to use, policy-based encryption to make it simple to securely communicate with customers and partners. In this web seminar, Proofpoint product manager Andrew Vu presents real world case studies about organizations that have deployed Proofpoint's unified data loss prevention and email encryption solutions.
