whitepaper Information Security at Microsoft: Overview2006-09-06 01:00:12 Microsoft
  The purpose of this white paper is to share the architecture, design, and deployment considerations of the Microsoft Information Technology (Microsoft IT) group. Microsoft IT drives global IT services and security for Microsoft, and develops and delivers new ways for customers to improve the operational efficiency of their desktop environments. The paper focuses on how the Microsoft IT group prevents the malicious or unauthorized use, modification, or destruction of digital assets at Microsoft. The goal of this paper is to help Microsoft customers secure their own IT environments and protect intellectual property.   
whitepaper Reduce the Risk of Costly Data Breaches: Three Pillars of Data Protection2006-06-01 Iron Mountain
  There are numerous regulations that govern the protection of private, personal and confidential data regardless of whether the data resides on a secure mainframe computer, desktop PC or mobile device such as a laptop PC. Legislative requirements to disclose lost data incidents are expensive and can negatively affect a corporation's reputation.

Iron Mountain Digital advocates these Three Pillars of Data Protection to serve as a guide for customers establishing a PC security program:
  • Policy Management and Control
  • Threat Monitoring and Response
  • Data Backup and Restoration
This paper provides an overview of PC encryption, the elements beyond encryption that are necessary for a complete data protection solution, and how Iron Mountain Digital's Data Defense and Connected Backup/PC solutions address the Three of Pillars of Data Protection.

whitepaper Efficient Byzantine Broadcast in Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks2006-05-16 01:00:28 Technion - Israel Institute of Technology
  This paper presents an overlay based Byzantine tolerant broadcast protocol for wireless ad-hoc networks. The use of an overlay results in a significant reduction in the number of messages. The protocol overcomes Byzantine failures by combining digital signatures, gossiping of message signatures, and failure detectors. These ensure that messages dropped or modified by Byzantine nodes will be detected and retransmitted and that the overlay will eventually consist of enough correct processes to enable message dissemination. An appealing property of the protocol is that it only requires the existence of one correct node in each one-hop neighborhood. The paper also includes a detailed performance evaluation by simulation.   
whitepaper Achieving NAC Now and in the Future: The Role of SSL VPNs2006-09-13 13:33:26 Aventail
  Network access control (NAC) is a multifaceted framework for controlling access to corporate data and other computing resources. It holds great promise for preventing malware infections and maintaining a trusted computing environment. But there are still huge challenges to implementing as-yet immature NAC solutions on an enterprise-wide basis, including:

  • Convoluted integration requirements
  • Inadequate inspection capabilities
  • Weak policy management

In his white paper, "Achieving NAC Now and in the Future: The Role of SSL VPNs," security expert Mark Bouchard discusses these and other limitations of NAC technology and goes on to explain why he believes that SSL VPNs are the ideal remote access solution for today's enterprises. This white paper is available FREE, compliments of Aventail.

  
whitepaper The Remote Access Imperative in Disaster Recovery2006-09-13 13:33:26 Aventail
  One of the most critical aspects of any business continuity plan is providing the ability for employees, partners, and other constituencies to access critical resources and data from home or other remote locations as if they were in the office. If a disaster recovery plan does not include remote access, conducting "business as usual" during an emergency is virtually impossible. This white paper by business continuity expert Tim Clark of The FactPoint Group explains why SSL VPN technology, which allows workers and partners to connect easily and securely through the Internet to corporate network resources, has emerged as the leading remote access solution.

whitepaper Attestation of Identity Information2006-11-10 14:17:30 Oracle
  This Oracle white paper discusses the fundamental premise of attestation and the role of identity management in achieving cost-effective, sustainable compliance. Attestation is the requirement that management periodically certifies that only appropriate individuals have accessed sensitive information. While the cost of complying with the provisions of regulations like Sarbanes Oxley is high, the cost of non-compliance is even higher. Fortunately, today's robust identity management (IdM) solutions are reducing the overall cost of compliance providing automated processes to maintain a comprehensive audit trail of historical user privileges, including when, why, and through which systems information was accessed. Any IT decision maker who's seeking an end-to-end security solution that supports regulatory compliance will benefit from informative white paper from Oracle.

whitepaper How to Gain Visibility and Control of Encrypted SSL Web Sessions2006-04-27 07:59:09 Blue Coat Systems
  SSL traffic is growing into a significant amount of enterprise network traffic. IT is unable to secure, control, or accelerate this traffic. Blue Coat's new SSL proxy removes IT's blinders, enabling organizations to establish a critical control point for policy, performance, and protection of users and applications using SSL. While enterprises should update acceptable use policies, Blue Coat's solution affords the appropriate flexibility and controls to mitigate any potential privacy concerns within the enterprise.
