Protect Data and Client Trust: An End-to-End Approach to Protecting Your Web Applications and Your Organization | 2009-09-16 | IBM |
| Every day, more and more business is conducted online creating new challenges for meeting Web application security and compliance.
It's a hacker's dream and your security nightmare. Due to the dynamic nature and prevalence of these applications, criminals are increasingly targeting Web-based applications. According to the latest statistics from the IBM X-Force 2009 Midyear Trend & Risk Report, Web application attacks continue to accelerate at a rapid pace. There is a cost to being unprepared. As these attacks escalate, many enterprises have been forced to take a reactive approach to security with point products that address only pieces of Web application security and add to the complexity of security operations. How secure are your Web applications? Join IBM ISS' Dan Powers and IBM Rational's David Grant as they explain the biggest Web application security and compliance challenges that organizations face today and, more importantly, discuss end to end strategies and solutions to overcome these challenges while lowering costs and reducing the risk of conducting business online. Have your questions answered in a live Q&A session with our featured speakers. All registrants who attend this live Webcast will receive a complimentary IBM white paper on end-to-end Web protection.

Digital Signatures for Contract Management | 2009-09-16 | ARX |
| As organizations move to implement custom and off-the-shelf contract management applications, many of these systems fail to provide appropriate electronic approval and signing features. This creates a major gap in the workflow and execution of a contract, requiring organizations to re-introduce paper into their automated contract management workflow, slowing collaborative processes and increasing overall costs. Enter CoSign digital signatures, the ideal solution for organizations that want to complete the last step in automated contract-lifecycle management and realize the benefits of a fully electronic process.

What Is the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)? | 2009-09-16 | Kreck Design Solutions |
| The processor typically sends out one or more letters, and follows up with phone calls. In the authors interviews with merchants, they usually tell the processor as little as possible. The processor shares the desire to get the task completed as quickly as possible. As a result, the merchants often do not understand exactly what is being asked of them, how far out of compliance they may be, or what the consequences could be by "Fibbing." Those asking questions often implied the "Right" answer... for example a question one has heard several times is: "One doesn't store credit cards does one?"

The Challenges of Administering Active Directory | 2009-09-16 | NetIQ |
| As Active Directory's role in the enterprise has drastically increased, so has the need to secure the data it stores and to which it enables access. The lack of native control makes the secure administration of Active Directory a challenging task at best for administrators. As a result, organizations need assistance in creating repeatable, enforceable processes that will ultimately reduce their administrative overhead, while simultaneously helping increase availability and security of their systems. This paper outlines seven common challenges associated with securely administering Active Directory and provides some helpful insight into what NetIQ can do to assist one with these difficulties.

Reducing the Cost of Defensive Medicine Using the Internet | 2009-09-16 | AdriaComm |
| Defensive medicine consists of providing medical services that are not expected to benefit the patient, but minimize the risk of subsequent lawsuits. In that context, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) rightly makes a virtue of privacy, but it can also bring about a financial burden - a burden that can best be met through a judicious use of the Internet and the latest developments in secure online communications.

Digital Signatures for Human Resource Uses | 2009-09-15 | ARX |
| It is not unusual for Human Resource (HR) specialists to find themselves buried under tons of paperwork requiring signatures. These professionals know that today's process for reviewing, approving, and archiving HR documentation consumes a tremendous amount of time and money. As a result, electronic documents are increasingly used in various phases of the workflow throughout the industry. But all too often when a signature is needed on a document, a hard copy original is printed, the document is physically routed for signatures, and then the document must be scanned and entered into a document management system. Applying a handwritten signature to these files interrupts fluid electronic processes, extending record processing time and increasing costs.

Regulatory Compliance: Protecting PCI Systems and Data | 2009-09-15 | CoreTrace |
| The Payment Card Industry (PCI) computer systems are continually under attack due to the importance of the information they protect. In response to this threat, the PCI has produced an excellent series of process and security tool requirements known as the Data Security Standard (DSS). The DSS identifies a series of principles and accompanying requirements that are critical to the integrity of the industry's computer systems. The standard takes a multi-faceted approach to protecting payment card information to include securing the systems the data resides within, controlling access to the systems and cardholder data, and protecting the cardholder data itself.

Why Your Standard IPS Leaves You Open to DDoS Attacks | 2009-09-15 | Radware |
| Off late Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are specifically designed to leverage the weaknesses of a standard Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), which is not able to defend against a bombardment of high packet-per-second (PPS) traffic. Innovated by Radware, real-time signatures can overcome this vulnerability, especially when accelerated by the APSolute Immunity Booster Shot.
