whitepaper The Impact of Messaging and Web Threats - An Osterman Research White Paper2008-04-01 McAfee
  Messaging, internal, and Web-based threats are increasing in number and severity. The risks to organizations large and small are not theoretical -- there are real problems that users and their employers face if they do not establish adequate defenses against the growing variety of malware, exploits and other threats that are directed against them. In this paper, you will learn the variety of ways messaging and web security capabilities can be managed, how to define a multi-layer defense strategy and implement key techniques, and anticipate future trends in the messaging threat landscape. With messaging security becoming more difficult, organizations are finding they must deploy defenses at all the physical venues where threats may enter a network, or through which users may intentionally or inadvertently send sensitive content; and they must implement a layered defensive strategy to protect against all types of threats.

whitepaper Effective Web policies: ensuring staff productivity and legal compliance2008-04-01 Sophos
  Employees increasingly expect to use the Internet at work for their own personal use in return for longer hours, working from home and interrupting vacations. This has a number of security, productivity, bandwidth and legal ramifications that require organizations to create and implement a Web usage policy that is backed up by effective Web filtering tools. This paper discusses how to create a policy that balances an organization's need for protection against an individual's expectations.

whitepaper Effective email policies: why enforcing proper use is critical to security2008-04-01 Sophos
  The unmonitored and unguarded use of email by employees poses a multitude of risks to organizations. The distribution of inappropriate or offensive content, malicious emails, and the risks of data leakage all threaten working environments, IT resources and an organization's reputation. A comprehensive, transparent and enforceable email acceptable use policy (AUP), combined with robust email security solutions, dramatically reduces exposure to these risks. This paper provides practical guidance on developing and enforcing an email AUP that meets the combined requirements of an organization's IT, HR and legal departments.

whitepaper A Practical Approach to Managing Phishing2008-04-01 PayPal
  Surely only a few individuals, who have been living a life of seclusion on the French Riviera for the last few years, won't know what the crime of "phishing" is. Yet, according to Gartner estimates, 3.3% of the 124 million consumers who received phishing email last year were victimized and lost money because of the attacks. In short, phishing is a "con trick" by which consumers are sent email purporting to originate from legitimate services like banks or other financial institutions.   
whitepaper Defending the email infrastructure: why email requires comprehensive protection2008-04-01 Sophos
  With organizations facing a growing number of threats and an increasingly regulated business environment, ensuring security and compliance across the email infrastructure is paramount. The complexity of this challenge requires a comprehensive solution. To block attacks and enforce acceptable use of email, organizations need to deploy integrated protection at the email gateway, on the email server and on all endpoint computers. This paper explores the threats facing email infrastructures, illustrating the need for multi-layered security.

whitepaper New Frontiers for Threat Processing2008-04-01 LSI
  More than ever before, the threats of intrusion and data disruption represent clear dangers to enterprises of all sizes. Threats are hiding in ever growing traffic volumes and high speed links are already allowing worms to spread worldwide in less than 30 minutes. Consider, then, the evolving role of the organization tasked with preventing these attacks - and the changes that must take place in traditional threat assessment and management products to give them a fighting chance. This paper examines these threats and the remarkable capabilities that are now in place to thwart them.

whitepaper The Future of Branch Protection: Real-Time Connected Security2008-04-01 LSI
  Today, managed network security services represent less than one percent of the overall security equipment and services market. The convergence of a broad spectrum of security technologies including IT security, surveillance, alarm monitoring, biometrics, access control and response, RFID-based article surveillance, and homeland security, creates new opportunities for intelligent, real-time connected security capabilities. The ultimate goal of real-time connected security is to use all available data sources in real-time to detect and respond appropriately to security threats or abnormal situations. This paper addresses the exciting new innovations at the silicon, software, and system level that are required to make this happen and the innovations that LSI is contributing to the market.

whitepaper A Modern Approach to On-Demand Email and Data Security2008-03-31 Proofpoint
  Email and data security solutions are available in different deployment configurations, from hardware and virtual appliances to software. Another option, "on-demand" or "software as a service" (SaaS), is rapidly gaining traction as a viable alternative for many organizations.

Until recently, choosing the convenience of a hosted email security solution meant making significant compromises when compared to the power and flexibility provided by appliance or software solutions deployed on-premise. But new advances in on-demand architecture have changed all that.

Learn how Proofpoint delivers a dedicated, hosted email security solution that combines state-of-the-art anti-spam and virus control with comprehensive data security and easy-to-use encryption features... with all the control and flexibility that enterprises require. Download this whitepaper from Proofpoint and Ziff Davis to learn about:
  • The advantages of a dedicated, hosted email security solution
  • The drawbacks associated with using a shared, multi-tenant environment
  • The benefits of using a "hybrid" on-demand/on-premises solution for email security

whitepaper State of Internet Security Report: Protecting Business Email2008-03-27 Webroot Software
  Business dependence on email is greater than ever before and the volume of threats has spiked dramatically. For this State of Internet Security report, Webroot surveyed 1,500 email security product decision makers in companies across seven countries. The report finds that close to 80% of U.S. businesses surveyed experienced a spam attack last year while half also experienced spyware, virus and phishing attacks. The report discusses these attacks in-depth while also offering helpful information on legal compliance, internal sabotage and the type of protection you need to keep your business safe from attack.
