whitepaper Nonprofit MADD Embraces New Server Virtualization and Boosts Remote Access2008-03-06 Microsoft
  Irving, Texas-based Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) provides educational programs, outreach, and activities designed to stop drunk driving, support the victims of drunk driving, and prevent underage drinking. MADD had remote access issues and needed a solution that would provide anti-virus checking at the gateway before allowing access to the network, as well as an SSL VPN solution. MADD ideally needed a new operating system that would support platforms across the line, from application publishing to Web services, portals, system integration, and prescriptive guidance. After considering Linux, UNIX, and Sun Microsystem solutions, NetVision chose Windows Server 2008 to test on a Hewlett-Packard (HP) ProLiant DL380 server featuring multi-core Intel Xeon processors.

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 Physical Security Attacks on Windows Vista2008-03-05 SEC Consult
  There are several attacks known today which leverage physical access to fully patched systems to read or patch system memory. One of them is the Cold Boot Attack, which allows copying the system memory after the system has been powered off and extracting the keys of encrypted harddisks from it. Another technique known for years now is the copying and manipulation of memory using firewire which, among other things, also can be used to retrieve encryption keys. Several papers describe the technical background of the firewire attack. In a nutshell, it is possible to access the system memory of other nodes on a firewire bus via DMA and firewire's addressing scheme.

whitepaper Educational System Cuts Spam, Millions in Costs, With Hosted E-Mail Filtering Solution2008-03-01 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.
