whitepaper Osterman Research: A Comparison of Leading Messaging Management Tools2006-12-14 19:21:43 Sunbelt Software
  To understand organizations' perceptions about various email management systems, Sunbelt Software engaged Osterman Research to survey organizations that are using five different email management systems including Barracuda Spam Firewall, GFI MailEssentials, McAfee GroupShield for Microsoft Exchange, and Symantec Brightmail. This white paper presents the results of that survey, comparing Sunbelt Software's Messaging Ninja with the other four systems. The tools were evaluated on these key criteria:
  • Anti-spam, anti-virus, anti-phishing, and attachment filtering capabilities
  • Improvements in spam capture efficiency
    over time
  • Improvements in anti-spam false positive performance over time
  • Ease of use
  • Reliability
  • Person-hours spent on system deployment
    (per 1,000 users)
  • Person-hours required for system management (per 1,000 users)
This paper is a must-read for any IT strategist or e-mail administrator who's actively researching messaging management tools for a mid-market enterprise. 		  
whitepaper Strengthening Database Security2006-12-01 Symantec
  Virtually every corporation maintains a database that contains critical business information - from customer contact or account data to order tracking information and human resource records. Today, enterprises must comply with industry and government regulations that charge businesses with ensuring the security of this sensitive information. At the same time, databases are increasingly subject to attack by internal and external attackers who no longer simply seek notoriety but now want financial rewards. By compromising the security of databases and obtaining customers' personal data, committing fraud, or blackmailing the targeted company, both internal and external attackers can jeopardize the reputation, financial standing, and customer trust of a business.

whitepaper Phishing Attacks in and Around April Through September 20062006-12-16 01:00:21 Symantec
  This paper describes phishing trends from April 2006 through September 2006 inclusive. The aim is to perform the kind of careful analysis done in the Symantec Internet Security Threat Report, but with a focus on phishing. The authors looked at data that originated from both the Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam and Norton Confidential systems. They were specifically interested in the overall magnitude of phishing, the geographic breakdowns of phishing servers, and the segmentation of brands spoofed in a phishing attack. This paper details the statistics computed, the methodology used to derive these statistics and the limitations of the methodology.   
whitepaper Web Hosting Risk Management2006-12-01 01:00:18 IT-PROBLEMS.EU
  Need a template to document web hosting risks and proposals on how to manage these risks correctly? This paper will help the reader to document his corporate web hosting risks and to develop a proposal on how to manage them in the future. The paper already contains a rather complete documentation of the different web hosting risks one may be facing and a proposed software solution for managing these risks.   
whitepaper Banking on Backup2006-12-16 01:00:21 Symantec
  Many enterprises find their backup and recovery process strained. Data (particularly email-related data) is growing at exponential rates, and new challenges such as legal discovery and compliance must be addressed. To tackle these problems, IT and backup administrators should consider flexible, advanced data protection methods for faster backup and recovery. This paper looks at why organizations must constantly assess their data protection plans to bulletproof themselves against data disasters.   
whitepaper The Teredo Protocol: Tunneling Past Network Security and Other Security Implications2006-12-16 01:00:21 Symantec
  Teredo is a platform-independent protocol developed by Microsoft, which is enabled by default in Windows Vista. Teredo provides a way for nodes located behind an IPv4 NAT to connect to IPv6 nodes on the Internet. However, by tunneling IPv6 traffic over IPv4 UDP through the NAT and directly to the end node, Teredo raises some security concerns. Primary concerns include bypassing security controls, reducing defense in depth, and allowing unsolicited traffic. This paper examines the security implications of Teredo.   
whitepaper Task Switching in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks2006-11-22 University of Illinois
  Mobile wireless sensor networks have the ability to monitor wide geographical areas. A suitable distribution of sensors can provide an optimal coverage (according to a predefined criterion) of the area of interest. On the other hand, mobile sensors can also move to the point of interest if necessary, thereby possibly leaving large regions vulnerable. This paper explains how to balance optimal coverage with the need to quickly respond to an event. In particular, it shows that by coordinating their actions, sensors can effectively estimate the location of a biochemical source while still providing a high level of coverage of the area of interest. This paper describes two switching control laws that achieve such a coordination and analyze their performance.

whitepaper Controlling a Virus Outbreak With Honeypots2006-12-01 01:00:18 IT-PROBLEMS.EU
  Ever wondered if there wasn't a smart way to slow down a virus outbreak on the network? Want to know how to protect self from virus outbreaks that happen before the virus signatures are able to identify and contain a virus? Yes, there is a way - and it's fairly easy to implement. The main idea behind it is that what many viruses have in common is that they scan the network for other systems (using many different approaches) and try to propagate themselves where they can. By implementing a honeypot on the network that will answer the virus calls and stall them (by keeping them in "Wait" loops), one can slow down a virus outbreak incredibly and win precious time to fully contain the virus.   
whitepaper The Definitive Guide to Security Management2006-11-15 CA (Computer Associates)
  Balancing the needs for flexible, nimble information applications that adapt to the changing needs of organizations with the realities of the insecure world in which people live is an enormous challenge. No single technology or tool will solve the problem. No amount of user training alone will make an enterprise secure. No set of policies and procedures will ensure an invulnerable system. Maintaining security across the enterprise demands the coordination and planning of multiple technologies, IT staff, and business managers. The details of enterprise security management are discussed throughout this book with an emphasis on practical solutions. Security is just one of the many demands on organizations.
