whitepaper Enabling the High-Performance Next Generation Firewall2008-04-04 Crossbeam Systems
  The traditional practice of deploying an ever-increasing number of appliances and applications to combat increasing security risks creates an infrastructure that is too complex, costly, and slow to react to new threats. Nowadays, enterprises managers want to move to a new kind of virtualized security architecture that supports the requirements of a Next Generation Firewall, but also consolidates deployments, reduces cost, and delivers much faster threat response. Crossbeam Systems, working closely with Check Point and Sourcefire, has developed a tightly coupled, high-performance, scalable, and reliable Next Generation Firewall solution that has been designed from the ground up to offer the best protection and performance for detecting and eliminating multiple levels of threats that target mission critical IT infrastructure and data.

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 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.
