whitepaper CAMNEP: Agent-Based Network Intrusion Detection System2008-05-16 IFAAMAS
  This paper presents a prototype of agent-based intrusion detection system designed for deployment on high-speed backbone networks. The main contribution of the system is the integration of several anomaly detection techniques by means of collective trust modeling within a group of collaborative detection agents, each featuring a specific detection algorithm. The anomalies are used as an input for the trust modeling. In this stage, each agent determines the flow trustfulness from aggregated anomalies. The aggregation is performed by extended trust models that model the trustfulness of generalized situated identities, represented by a set of observable features. The system is based on traffic statistics in NetFlow format acquired by dedicated hardware-accelerated network cards, and is able to perform a real-time surveillance of the gigabit networks.

whitepaper No More FTP: Eliminate FTP and Email Attachment Issues2008-05-14 Proofpoint
  Today's business environment requires ad hoc and instantaneous sharing of information. Systems for sending large files have not kept pace with the needs of today's enterprise, where increasingly large and sophisticated business documents, files and media need to be quickly transmitted and shared with coworkers, business partners and customers around the world.

Existing solutions for sending large files fall short in several regards: Email does not handle large files efficiently and FTP is too difficult to manage, administer and use. End users often resort to time-consuming workarounds such as burning CDs or using unapproved (and uncontrolled) technologies such as third-party file transfer services or instant messaging.

But new technologies for secure file transfer can eliminate these problems. Download this free whitepaper from Proofpoint and learn:
  • Why conventional FTP and email attachment methods are no longer the preferred solution for large file transmission
  • The security and compliance risks associated with traditional file transfer methods
  • The pros and cons of different file transfer methods
  • Regulatory compliance benefits of an appliance-based approach to secure file transfer
  • How Proofpoint Secure File Transfer makes it easy and secure for users to send large or sensitive files, while reducing IT admin and email infrastructure costs

whitepaper Master Your Domain: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Domain Services2008-04-03 Quest Software
  This whitepaper addresses Active Directory or, more accurately, Active Directory Domain Services (ADDS), as it is now known with Windows Server 2008. In addition, Microsoft has also made some interesting technological changes to Active Directory. Although they are not radical, the changes will interest administrators and architects, especially those working with branch offices and those challenged by password policy restrictions.

This paper introduces the changes made to Active Directory and addresses the impact for organizations with Active Directory already installed.

whitepaper New Frontiers for Threat Processing2008-04-01 LSI
  More than ever before, the threats of intrusion and data disruption represent clear dangers to enterprises of all sizes. Threats are hiding in ever growing traffic volumes and high speed links are already allowing worms to spread worldwide in less than 30 minutes. Consider, then, the evolving role of the organization tasked with preventing these attacks - and the changes that must take place in traditional threat assessment and management products to give them a fighting chance. This paper examines these threats and the remarkable capabilities that are now in place to thwart them.

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.

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 Lower Costs and Reduce Risk With Symantec Endpoint Protection2008-02-15 Symantec
  Today most IT teams rely on fragmented endpoint security measures. Different types of security software may run on desktops, laptops, and servers. Antivirus, antispyware, network threat protection, and proactive threat protection may be managed independently at different locations. Not surprisingly, this piecemeal approach often leads to higher administrative costs. It can also result in increased risk, as hackers develop new tactics and use blended threats to gain unauthorized access to an organization's systems and information. To ward off threats more proactively and to cut down endpoint security costs, a growing number of businesses are developing a structured approach that integrates endpoints in a single, centralized management framework.
