Secure Documents and Files | 2007-12-01 | Microsoft Tips |
| The security of legal files is very important. Because many law firms are concerned about file security, they instruct their Information Technology (IT) departments, if they have one, to secure their servers, disk drives, and folders so that only authorized people in the firm can read and save files. For example, in the firm, the IT department may provide access to folders for specific clients only to the lawyers and paralegals who work with those clients. Is this all that is required of the firm to secure its documents and files? It's a great first step, but one is responsible for ensuring the security of the own files.

Botnets: The New Threat Landscape | 2007-12-01 | Cisco Systems |
| A botnet is an army of compromised machines, also known as "Zombies," that are under the command and control of a single "Botmaster." The rise of consumer broadband has greatly increased the power of botnets to launch crippling Denial of Service (DoS) attacks on servers, infect millions of computers with spyware and other malicious code, steal identity data, send out vast quantities of spam, and engage in click fraud, blackmail, and extortion. Botnets are the primary security threat on the Internet today. It is easy to commission botnet attack services and hackers are quicker than ever to exploit new vulnerabilities. This white paper discusses the typical lifecycle of a botnet, the damage caused by botnet attacks, and the most effective detection and mitigation techniques.

Password Management Using Doodles | 2007-11-15 | Association for Computing Machinery |
| The average computer user needs to remember a large number of text username and password combinations for different applications, which places a large cognitive load on the user. Consequently users tend to write down passwords, use easy to remember (and guess) passwords, or use the same password for multiple applications, leading to security risks. This paper describes the use of personalized hand-drawn "Doodles" for recall and management of password information. Since doodles can be easier to remember than text passwords, the cognitive load on the user is reduced. The method involves recognizing doodles by matching them against stored prototypes using handwritten shape matching techniques. The paper has built a system which manages passwords for web applications through a web browser.
