whitepaper A Multiple LSPs Approach to Secure Data in MPLS Networks2007-08-01 Academy Publisher
  MPLS security is an evolving issue which has been raised by many researchers and service providers. The basic architecture of MPLS network does not provide security services such as encryption. Therefore, MPLS does not protect the confidentiality of data transmitted. This paper provides a mechanism to enhance the security in MPLS networks by proposing a modified (k, n) Threshold Secret Sharing scheme where the n shares obtained are send over multiple disjoint paths. This paper has implemented the approach to measure its time overhead on packet transmission.

whitepaper Fortifying Your Agency With Security Management2007-08-01 CA (Computer Associates)
  Federal agencies understand the critical importance of protecting mission-critical data (including confidential citizen information), applications and systems. Federal agencies are increasingly concerned about the damage that threats of all kinds can cause. In addition, managing users and their access privileges is straining the administrative capability of most agencies, as well as challenging their existing security mechanisms. For agencies, opportunity lies in understanding the scope of these issues and deploying industry leading security management solutions that give IT the upper hand in identifying and defeating these threats as they occur, and in effectively managing their expanding user population. The benefits of an effective, well-designed security management system extend to the foundations of the agency itself.   
whitepaper SOA Security 1-2-3, Part 1: Create a Roadmap for Securing Your Large-Scale SOA Application - Ten Steps Toward Better SOA Security2007-07-24 IBM
  This series provides a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) security implementation roadmap. This paper - the first in a three-part series - illustrates a ten-step process that helps the user with everything from building a SOA security team to creating an effective requirements-gathering process. In Part 2, one learns how to create a high-level design, and Part 3 covers test cases.

whitepaper A Clear Key/Secure Key Primer2007-07-19 IBM
  IBM cryptographic hardware can either be clear key or secure key. Understanding the difference between the two will help in designing the right crypto solutions and in determining the hardware requirements for an application or environment. This paper describes the basic differences between clear key and secure key, and is an introduction to how the hardware provides additional protection for secure keys. Encryption is the process of scrambling data, in order to protect it. The data is scrambled using a cryptographic algorithm (a series of steps), controlled by a key.

whitepaper Cisco Security Advisory: Denial of Service Vulnerability in Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) Software2007-07-18 Cisco Systems
  The Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) software contains a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability that may cause some devices that run WAAS software (WAE appliance and NM-WAE 502 module) to stop processing all types of traffic, including data traffic and management traffic. This condition may occur if a device running WAAS software is configured for Edge Services, which utilizes Common Internet File System (CIFS) optimization and receives a flood of TCP SYN packets on port 139 or 445. Cisco has made free software available to address this vulnerability for affected customers. Workarounds are available to mitigate the effects of this vulnerability.

whitepaper Solid Windows Vista Protection2007-07-10 Symantec
  The new security features included in Vista are a step forward in helping businesses defend against attacks, but they cannot be considered a complete, multi-layered defense. It goes without saying that attackers follow security vulnerabilities, as these are a requirement for their success. Over the past several years, these vulnerabilities have increasingly moved up the application stack and away from the core operating system. Threats have moved (and will continue to move) into other areas, such as the Web application layer, where the majority of all new security vulnerabilities reside today. These threats target more available technologies, including email, IM, and the Web, leveraging social engineering and other convincing trickery in order to infect their victims.

whitepaper Securing and Tracking Business Information With Oracle Information Rights Management2007-07-01 Oracle
  When sensitive or confidential documents can be untraceably opened, copied and forwarded anywhere, organizations face a formidable set of consequences. Data breaches and information leaks can lead to customer losses, decreased revenue, lawsuits, and damaged reputations. How can companies mitigate these risks? Many organizations are turning to Information Rights Management (IRM), a powerful, comprehensive solution that delivers protection of valuable digital information wherever it is stored and used. IRM helps organizations to maintain control over sensitive information even after it has been shared.   
whitepaper Secure Passage Through a World of Technological Threats2007-07-01 CoSoSys SRL
  Today's business world, in its pursuit for enhanced efficiency, is opening up more and more to all devices that can improve workforce mobility and productivity. Technology has supported the need for mobility and has also provided additional means of communication. Laptops, smart phones, memory sticks, iPods, they are all part of day to day life and work. The downside of this trend is that while largely adopting their usage, few realize how serious the inherent threats are within them, as mobility and portability make data protection a far more complicated problem than ever before.

whitepaper Understanding ZDI: Separating Fact From Fiction2007-07-01 3Com
  TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) program has been in operation since August 15, 2005. Recently, concerns have resurfaced over whether or not 'Paid for' security research is in the best interest of the industry - citing that information surrounding software flaws could wind up in the hands of criminals. The purpose of this paper is to bring light to the intent, process and value of the ZDI program to TippingPoint's customers, legitimate security researchers, software vendors, TippingPoint itself, and the enterprise networking industry at large.
