whitepaper Organ Transplant Network Ensures High Availability of Critical Services2008-02-01 Microsoft
  The United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) administers a database system that transplant providers use to register patients and match organs to transplant candidates. UNOS needs to keep its network fully accessible and secure, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. To enhance its disaster recovery system and the performance, stability, and security of its network, UNOS is deploying Windows Server 2008 Enterprise.

whitepaper Protecting the Network With IBM Proventia Network Intrusion Prevention System2008-02-01 IBM
  The IBM Proventia Network Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) stops Internet threats before they impact the business and delivers protection to all three layers of the network: core, perimeter and remote segments. Preemptive protection - protection that works ahead of the threat - is available from IBM Internet Security Systems (ISS) through its proprietary combination of line-speed performance, security intelligence and a multifaceted protection engine. Proventia Network IPS delivers on all six counts, with performance, preemptive protection, high availability, simple deployment and management, and excellent customer support.

whitepaper Performance Comparison of Intrusion Detection System Classifiers Using Various Feature Reduction Techniques2008-01-31 Erode Sengunthar Engineering College
  This paper compares the performance of Intrusion Detection System (IDS) Classifiers using various feature reduction techniques. To enhance the learning capabilities and reduce the computational intensity of competitive learning neural network classifiers, different dimension reduction techniques have been proposed. These include: Principal Component Analysis, Linear Discriminant Analysis, and Independent Component Analysis. Many Intrusion Detection Systems are based on neural networks. However, they are computationally very demanding. In order to mitigate this problem, dimension reduction techniques are applied to a given dataset to extract important features. In the proposed research various classifiers are applied to the reduced feature dataset and their performance is compared. On the basis of these results, a technique is proposed which performs exceptionally well, in terms of both accuracy and computation time.

whitepaper Forward-Thinking County Government Enhances IT Security and Manageability2008-01-30 Microsoft
  The Fulton County IT department is responsible for thousands of computers across dozens of government departments. Having faced network disruptions in the past due to noncompliant computers, the county needed a new security solution. In response, it is deploying Windows Server 2008 to take advantage of Network Access Protection (NAP). After an initial deployment, help-desk call volume decreased by 75 percent, for a projected annual savings of more than U.S.$150,000 in maintenance costs.

whitepaper UTM-1 Adopted for Security Infrastructure of a New Application Services Business2008-01-25 Check Point Software Technologies
  Sooki Co., Ltd. provides rentals, sales, and repairs of survey and measurement devices, and measuring instrumentation and is growing in areas such as development and implementation of automated survey systems. The firm has also started a new service operation providing 3D application services for various industries that use 3D measurement technologies. To enable secure use of these applications by customers from plants, offices, and research centers, Sooki installed the UTM-1 Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliance in its data center. This installation provided a firewall, intrusion prevention, antivirus and anti-spyware protection, and an SSL VPN, all at low cost. The small-scale UTM appliance Safe@Office 500 was also installed at each company location, improving point-to-point network security.

whitepaper An Agent-Based Intrusion Detection System2008-01-23 South University
  This paper will discuss research and programming done to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of distributed host based intrusion detection. More common types of intrusion detection will be discussed to give a background to the field, as well as give reference points with which to compare distributed host based intrusion detection systems. Techniques for detecting intruders locally will also be discussed, including the techniques used in the process monitor written for this assignment.

whitepaper Live Webcast: NAC Best Practices: Three Simple Steps to Deploy Network Access Control2008-01-17 Sophos
  You need network access control (NAC)--not just to ensure compliance of known computers (whether managed or unmanaged)--but also to exclude unauthorized computers. Having an enterprise-level strategy for security compliance and access control is essential to protecting your organization from a broad spectrum of potential threats.

The key to successful NAC deployment is in assessment and subsequent remediation processes for non-compliant computers. Quarantining and blocking access are tools of last resort, and different scenarios will require different approaches.

To learn more, join this live TechRepublic Webcast with Derek Brink, Vice President & Research Director of IT Security for AberdeenGroup, and Mark Beadles, Chief Technologist for Sophos.

Hosted by James Hilliard, moderator for TechRepublic, and featuring live Q&A, this Webcast will address these key topics and more:
  • The goals of a NAC solution
  • Approaches to implementation
  • 3 simple steps to deploying NAC
Register today to attend this live event, sponsored by Sophos, and get expert tips and advice on deploying network access control!
