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.

whitepaper Live Webcast: Top Trends Impacting Two-Factor Authentication2008-02-14 Positive Networks
  2008 brings with it new IT security challenges and issues that network and systems administrators should be aware of. Utilizing a 2008 survey of IT professionals from leading enterprises, this Webcast will summarize the top security issues which network security professionals should be prepared to face in 2008.

An overwhelming 70% of respondents believe that usernames and passwords do not provide an adequate level of security for sensitive information. Regulatory legislation and agencies such as FFIEC, HIPPA, GLB also echo this perspective. One strategy for meeting today's stringent data security standards is the use of strong, two-factor authentication, but a number of barriers can stand in the way of a successful implementation.

To learn what those obstacles are -- and how to sidestep them -- join this Webcast, with live Q&A, hosted by James Hilliard, moderator for TechRepublic, and featuring Positive Networks' CTO Steve Dispensa and Chief Privacy Advocate Evan Conway.

In this webcast you'll learn:
  • The latest security trends that you need to address
  • How responding organizations' security practices compare to your own
  • How Positive Networks's PhoneFactor compares to other two-factor authentication methods
  • How companies are successfully implementing two-factor authentication

whitepaper Nessus Credential Checks for UNIX and Windows2008-02-12 Tenable Network Security
  This paper describes how to perform authenticated network scans with the Nessus Vulnerability Scanner. Authenticated network scans allow a remote network audit to obtain "Host-based" data such as missing patches and operating system settings. Host-based checks for UNIX versions of Nessus were introduced in 2004 and Windows support had existed before that. Nessus leverages the ability to log into remote UNIX hosts via Secure Shell. For Windows hosts, Nessus leverages a variety of Microsoft authentication technologies.

whitepaper Petroleum Company Strengthens Security With Network Access Protection Solution2008-02-01 Microsoft
  Petron Corporation, a petroleum refining and distribution company, wanted to reduce its network's exposure to security risks. The client devices that its mobile work force used were a chronic source of viruses because they often picked up malicious software from other systems. However, Petron was unable to verify the health of those devices before granting them network access. To improve security, Petron deployed Windows Server 2008 with Network Access Protection. Now Petron employees can connect more securely, and the healthier network is easier to manage. IT administrators have more time for other projects that further improve and protect Petron's IT environment, including the implementation of Microsoft Forefront Client Security and Forefront Security for SharePoint.

whitepaper Healthcare IT Alliance Immunizes Networks Against Rogue Access2008-02-01 Microsoft
  The South West Alliance of Rural Health (SWARH) is a joint venture of public health agencies in South-Western Victoria, Australia. It provides a region-wide IP network that carries voice, video, and data services. Its clients use a diverse range of hardware governed by SWARH ICT standards, although SWARH has no direct ability to enforce those standards. SWARH was concerned that if an unauthorized person plugged a computer into a network port at any of its 147 sites, they might gain unfettered access. However, installing secure switches at client sites would have been prohibitively expensive. Instead, in February 2008 SWARH began implementing the Network Access Protection feature of Windows Server 2008. SWARH gained the ability to enforce computer health policies and protect its network from malware.

whitepaper Swedish Municipality Increases Network Security and Reduces Costs2008-02-01 Microsoft
  The City of Uppsala, one of Sweden's largest municipalities, operates two separate computer networks. One is used by city administrators, and the other is used by students and staff at the local public schools. The city needed to protect the administration network from unauthorized access and malware attacks. In May 2007, the city teamed with TrueSec, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, to test and deploy Windows Server 2008 Network Access Protection on the administration network. To gain access to prerelease builds of the software, the city participated in the Microsoft Rapid Deployment Program. After completing the pilot deployment, the city expects to see significant improvements in system security and stability. The city also anticipates that the solution will help lower IT administration costs.
