Assessing endpoint security solutions: Why detection rates aren't enough 2008-03-04 Sophos

Evaluating the performance of competing endpoint security products is a time-consuming and daunting task. Enterprise decision-makers have to rely on independent competitive comparisons, performance benchmarks, and detection certifications, all covering different solutions and criteria, providing conflicting results. This paper highlights the pitfalls of simply looking at virus detection rates and investigates the effect of the rapidly developing IT environment and fast-moving threat landscape on assessment criteria. It gives the six critical questions businesses need to ask to ensure the most successful outcome to their evaluations.

Moving Toward Network Security and Firewalls for Protecting and Preserving Private Resources on the Internet 2008-03-04 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.

Washington State First to Provide a U.S. Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) - Compliant Enhanced Driver License 2008-03-01 Microsoft Tips

With the implementation of the U.S. Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) program, U.S. citizens ultimately will need to provide WHTI-compliant proof of identity upon returning to the U.S. from western hemisphere nations. With Washington State Governor Christine Gregoire's sponsorship, and anticipating increased border crossings in 2010 with the upcoming Winter Olympics in British Columbia, Canada, the State of Washington decided to become the first in the nation to introduce a WHTI-compliant enhanced driver license. The Washington State Department of Licensing teamed with Washington Department of Information Services, Department of Homeland Security, Digimarc, and Microsoft to implement the Enhanced Driver License program.

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.

Stop Spam, Viruses and Spyware: Endpoint and Perimeter Malware Guide 2008-02-28 Webroot Software

IT systems are under constant, increasingly sophisticated attack. Today's cyber criminals are using highly evolved, blended malware to access corporate and customer data at an alarming rate. Additional layers of protection at the perimeter are essential to combat the sheer volume of this increasing threat and to prevent networks from being clogged by spam.

Read this paper to learn about the prevalence and types of emerging threats and how to recognize them. This paper also provides recommendations on endpoint and perimeter security, as well as advice on addressing budgetary constraints, regulatory requirements, and much more.

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.

TechNet Webcast: Windows Network Policy Server Fundamentals (Level 300) 2008-02-25 Microsoft

This webcast talks about Network Policy Server (NPS) in Windows Server 2008, and how to implement Network Access Protection (NAP). It starts with an introduction to the Network Policy Server, and shows how it plays a valuable role in maintaining the integrity of an internal computer network. The webcast also explain how to deploy and configure NAP, how NAP works, and how it employs NPS. The attendee will learn to enable debug tracing, and how it can be used for monitoring and troubleshooting connectivity problems.

Formal Verification of Firewall Policies 2008-02-23 Michigan State University

Firewalls are the mainstay of enterprise security and the most widely adopted technology for protecting private networks. The quality of protection provided by a firewall directly depends on the quality of its policy (i.e., configuration). Due to the lack of tools for verifying firewall policies, most firewalls on the Internet have been plagued with policy errors. A firewall policy error either creates security holes that will allow malicious traffic to sneak into a private network or blocks legitimate traffic and disrupts normal business processes, which in turn could lead to irreparable, if not tragic, consequences. This paper proposes a firewall verification tool in this paper. This tool takes as input a firewall policy and a given property, then outputs whether the policy satisfies the property.

Novell Zenworks Endpoint Security Management: Total Control from a Single Console 2008-02-21 Novell

Unauthorized access to networks, lost or stolen laptops and other mobile hardware, and theft of proprietary information or intellectual property accounted for more than 74 percent of IT financial losses last year. In particular, security on laptop/mobile devices is below the standard required to keep your information safe.
Read this white paper to see how Novell Zenworks acts as a single console solution to create an enforce security policies for all components of your perimeter.

Secure Desktop On-Demand Webcast 2008-02-21 Novell

The desktop or endpoint is one of the most vulnerable parts of your environment. Threats are everywhere. You have users who love to experiment with device settings (only to wonder why they can't run an application). And then there are viruses, hackers, unauthorized USB devices and dozens of other external hazards. You need systems and processes that mitigate these risks and ensure desktop integrity. That's what the Secure Desktop Solution from Novell is all about. It's the only solution that keeps the endpoint secure by helping you measure, mitigate, audit and defend against internal and external threats.
