whitepaper White Paper: Windows Vista Misunderstood Security Breach2008-02-11 NetWrix Corporation
  Windows' newest technology, the User Account Control, found in the Vista operating system has been erroneously called an additional level of security by many computer security professionals. In a self-published consumer report "Security Best Practices for Consumers" Microsoft states, "& important to remember that User Account Control prompts are not a security boundary - they don't offer direct protection." Instead, in the hope to reduce the incidence of malware, unauthorized software installation, and unintentional system changes the User Account Control separates standard user tasks from requiring administrator level password access. Unfortunately, at the enterprise level with hundreds of devices, applications, and shared password accounts, it places the entire burden on busy IT administrators.

whitepaper A New and Flexible Approach to Security Management Using a Combination of People, Processes and Technology2008-02-05 Symantec
  Businesses today don't operate in a "One-size-fits-all" world. Instead, they require tailored products and services that enable them to mitigate risk, help demonstrate compliance, and improve security operational efficiency. Regulatory compliance is a worldwide issue that requires accurate oversight. Internal threats are also an issue as authorized account holders (e.g., employees, customers, partners, and suppliers) engage in behavior that ranges from mischievous to malicious." Addressing these security risks requires a new and flexible approach; one that IDC has begun calling a security "Hybrid." This hybrid approach comprises three major security components: products (hardware and software), managed services, and professional services.

whitepaper ICD-10: Turning Regulatory Compliance Into Strategic Advantage - Are U.S. Health Plans and Providers Ready for ICD-10 Adoption?2008-02-04 Deloitte LLP
  As if existing IT investments weren't a large enough strain on provider and payor budgets, the U.S. health care industry is facing a new challenge: ICD-10 (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Version 10) implementation. In 2011, per the mandate of Senate Bill 628, the United States will move from the ICD-9 system of disease classification to ICD-10, a much more complex system that reflects recent advances in disease detection and treatment via biomedical informatics, genetic research and international data-sharing. U.S. ICD-10 adoption has the potential to revolutionize the nation's health care system and produce a huge wave of IT spending. However, the process will require a massive overhaul of the nation's medical coding system. In fact, some industry observers say that ICD-10 could overtake Y2K in terms of impact and cost. ICD-10: Turning Regulatory Compliance into Strategic Advantage, a new paper from the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions, part of Deloitte LLP, describes the impact of the proposed move to ICD-10 on U.S. health plans and providers and discusses the need to prepare for this change now. Specifically, it looks at the potential impacts of ICD-10 compliance on three camps of health care organizations: Pragmatists, Collaborators, and Innovators.

whitepaper Utility Company Speeds Desktop Deployment, Enhances Security With New Operating System2008-02-01 Microsoft
  Companies usually upgrade the majority of their IT infrastructure every three years. Business plans at Stadtwerke Düsseldorf AG, a public utility company, called for upgrading 2,500 PC and notebook computers to a new Windows operating system in 2007. At that time, the release of the Windows Vista operating system was imminent, which meant the utility had two options: upgrade to the reliability of Windows XP or wait another year for Windows Vista to be released. A feasibility study showed a clear case for migrating to Windows Vista. From the earliest planning stages, it was clear that migration tools for Windows Vista and Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization would save significant migration and client PC operating expense.
