whitepaper CAMNEP: Agent-Based Network Intrusion Detection System2008-05-16 IFAAMAS
  This paper presents a prototype of agent-based intrusion detection system designed for deployment on high-speed backbone networks. The main contribution of the system is the integration of several anomaly detection techniques by means of collective trust modeling within a group of collaborative detection agents, each featuring a specific detection algorithm. The anomalies are used as an input for the trust modeling. In this stage, each agent determines the flow trustfulness from aggregated anomalies. The aggregation is performed by extended trust models that model the trustfulness of generalized situated identities, represented by a set of observable features. The system is based on traffic statistics in NetFlow format acquired by dedicated hardware-accelerated network cards, and is able to perform a real-time surveillance of the gigabit networks.

whitepaper No More FTP: Eliminate FTP and Email Attachment Issues2008-05-14 Proofpoint
  Today's business environment requires ad hoc and instantaneous sharing of information. Systems for sending large files have not kept pace with the needs of today's enterprise, where increasingly large and sophisticated business documents, files and media need to be quickly transmitted and shared with coworkers, business partners and customers around the world.

Existing solutions for sending large files fall short in several regards: Email does not handle large files efficiently and FTP is too difficult to manage, administer and use. End users often resort to time-consuming workarounds such as burning CDs or using unapproved (and uncontrolled) technologies such as third-party file transfer services or instant messaging.

But new technologies for secure file transfer can eliminate these problems. Download this free whitepaper from Proofpoint and learn:
  • Why conventional FTP and email attachment methods are no longer the preferred solution for large file transmission
  • The security and compliance risks associated with traditional file transfer methods
  • The pros and cons of different file transfer methods
  • Regulatory compliance benefits of an appliance-based approach to secure file transfer
  • How Proofpoint Secure File Transfer makes it easy and secure for users to send large or sensitive files, while reducing IT admin and email infrastructure costs

whitepaper EMS Email Security: Spam and virus-free email without the need for constant IT administration2008-05-14 Dell MessageOne
  While most email filtering solutions have barely evolved over the last few years, Dell MessageOne has broken the mold with a completely new generation of email filtering technology that is more effective, easier for administrators and users to manage, and able to scale to meet the need of the largest global enterprises.

EMS Email Security leverages machine learning techniques to provide a revolutionary spam detection system that inspects every message for hundreds of thousands of threat attributes gleaned from billions of messages. Self-adjusting detection algorithms are then applied to identify even the newest spam attacks without manual tuning or administrator intervention. Unlike other services, EMS Email Security is fully integrated with Microsoft Exchange and Active Directory to eliminate manual administration. Real-time directory synchronization is leveraged to fully automate user management and to automatically add company employees and personal contacts to safe lists. These valid addresses are always let in while invalid addresses are blocked before they reach your servers.

whitepaper Extending PCI Compliance to the Mobile Workforce2008-05-07 Fiberlink Communications
  The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council developed an explicit Data Security Standard (DSS) which outlines the minimum controls necessary to protect the system components that support cardholder data environments. The Council added teeth to the security standard by enforcing it through regular audits and assessments conducted by authorized agencies. The controls outlined in the 12 requirements of PCI DSS specifically address system components - the point-of-sale devices, servers, network, applications and storage - that support cardholder data environments. Consequently, this is the network segment that organizations focus on when devising, implementing, maintaining and assessing their security controls.

whitepaper Proving Compliance with McAfee Total Protection for Data2008-05-01 McAfee
  Companies feel a sense of security from encrypting data stored on corporate systems − on desktops, laptops and mobile devices. They believe this act will protect their intellectual property, and sensitive customer information will remain safe and secure from unauthorized access. But that is not enough. Simply encrypting this information doesn't help you prove compliance with external regulations or internal controls during a financial audit or legal discovery process. Find out why you must be able to present irrefutable proof of who, what, where, when, and how your information was protected − or face financial penalties, legal liabilities, brand damage, customer distrust, and more.

whitepaper Gartner MarketScope for Network Access Control, 2008 brought to you by Sophos2008-05-01 Sophos
  About half of the vendors in the network access control market are startup companies, most of which will grow in 2008. Starting in 2009, the overall market will begin to consolidate, as established network and security vendors embed and enhance NAC functions into their products. This Gartner report assessed vendors on the following criteria: market understanding, marketing strategy, sales strategy, offering (product) strategy, overall viability (business unit, financial, strategy, organization) and sales execution and pricing. This report is brought to you by Sophos.

whitepaper NAC at the endpoint: Control your network through device compliance2008-05-01 Sophos
  Protecting IT networks used to be a straightforward case of encircling computers and servers with a firewall and ensuring that all traffic passed through just one gateway. However, the increase in mobile workers, numbers and type of device and the amount of non-employees requiring network access, has led to a dissolving of that network perimeter. Access requests can come from anyone and anywhere, which is why organizations are turning to network access control (NAC) technologies. This paper discusses why NAC is important and how it should be implemented on the endpoint for maximum protection.

whitepaper Cisco Secure Wireless Plant: Security and Quality of Service for Industrial Environments2008-05-01 Cisco Systems
  The process industries, from oil and gas producers and mining companies to manufacturers of chemicals, foods, and beverages, are exploring new ways to improve production processes and automate them to raise plant efficiency. Though each has its own challenges and business drivers, industrialists also have many needs and trends in common. To improve the functionality and efficiency of industrial monitoring and control systems, therefore, process industries are looking toward Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) to provide detailed, accurate data collection from previously hard-to-reach, unaffordable areas. Cisco and Dust Networks are leading this trend with the Secure Wireless Plant solution, which combines industry-leading networking and field device development to deliver a comprehensive wireless solution for the industrial environment.
