whitepaper The Importance of Application Security2008-03-01 12:24:44 Symantec
  Application security has been a growing discipline in the IT world for about a decade. Not long ago, knowledge about securing applications came from a select few independent researchers, and resources for implementation were scarce. Through the years, more and more resources have become available as security expertise and toolsets have found their way to a wider population of technologists. Over the past five years, general knowledge of application security criteria has widened, making it rare that applications developers do not consider basic security aspects such as authentication and access control, among others.   
whitepaper The Essential Elements of Comprehensive Endpoint Security2006-10-01
  Establishing a comprehensive endpoint security solution is complicated, and issues like accounting for unmanaged nodes only increase the scope of the challenge. What's more, selecting and stitching together an appropriate set of counter-measures means navigating a complex landscape of point products. Accordingly, the intent of this white paper is to clarify the the endpoint security problem and identify the functional requirements of a comprehensive endpoint security solution.   
whitepaper Managing and Securely Determining Security Clearance2008-03-18 Isode
  Access controls based on Security Labels are made by matching the Security Label against the Security Clearance of the user or location for which the access control check is being made. In order for this check to be valid, it is essential that the correct value of the Security Clearance is used. If an incorrect value of the Security Clearance (e.g., a forged one) was used, the access control check would be worthless. This paper looks at how to ensure that the correct Security Clearance is used, and the role of directory in achieving this.

whitepaper Detecting and Preventing Attacks Using Network Intrusion Detection Systems2008-03-05 Sathyabama University
  Intrusion detection is an important technology in business sector as well as an active area of research. It is an important tool for information security. A Network Intrusion Detection System is used to monitor networks for attacks or intrusions and report these intrusions to the administrator in order to take evasive action. Today computers are part of networked; distributed systems that may span multiple buildings sometimes located thousands of miles apart. The network of such a system is a pathway for communication between the computers in the distributed system. The network is also a pathway for intrusion. This system is designed to detect and combat some common attacks on network systems. It follows the signature based IDs methodology for ascertaining attacks.

whitepaper Moving Toward Network Security and Firewalls for Protecting and Preserving Private Resources on the Internet2008-03-04 Journal of Theoretical and Applied Information Technology
  Computer and network security are challenging topics among executives and managers of computer corporations. Internet security is the practice of protecting and preserving private resources and information on the Internet. Even discussing security policies may seem to create a potential liability. As a result, enterprise management teams are often not aware of the many advances and innovations in Internet and intranet security technology. Without this knowledge, corporations are not able to take full advantage of the benefits and capabilities of the network.
