whitepaper Pushing Security to the Perimeter: Trusted Computing Technology Adapts to Changing Enterprise Needs2006-08-03 01:00:11 Hewlett-Packard
  Security concerns, identity theft and regulatory compliance requirements are converging to drive the enterprise's need for strong identity and access management (IAM) solutions. These solutions can include enterprise single sign-on (SSO), legacy authorization, user provisioning, advanced authentication hardware and software, and other endpoint security solutions. This IDC white paper reviews the growing need for network-based security as a fundamental component in the identity and access management (IAM) market and profiles ProCurve Networking by HP's Identity Driven Manager 2.0 with Adaptive EDGE Architecture to illustrate a cost-effective IAM solution that can help enterprises address their security concerns while increasing the value of their networks.   
whitepaper Optimizing IT Security whitepaper2007-01-03 01:00:23 Raritan
  Businesses today face a barrage of security threats that requires constant vigilance to safeguard the integrity of their critical IT services. While midsized businesses face the same risks as larger enterprises, they tend to have particularly tight IT resource constraints. Their central challenge therefore is not only to protect themselves from potential threats, but how to accomplish this within real-world IT resource constraints. So how can midsized businesses get the maximum security "bang" for their "buck?" Download this whitepaper for answers and more.   
whitepaper Understanding User and Group Entitlement Reporting2006-09-12 12:24:44 Symantec
  If you've got questions related to User and Group Entitlement Reporting, you're not alone—it's an extremely challenging aspect of network security and regulatory compliance. This white paper from Symantec explores the topic in depth, discussing the complexities involved in reporting and validating access grants. The paper underscores the regulatory requirements that are driving the need for better User and Group Entitlement Reporting, and goes on to explain how Symantec's bv-Control for Windows Version 8.0 specifically addresses the group and user entitlement issue.

  
whitepaper Runtime Integrity and Presence Verification for Software Agents2006-01-04 01:01:52
  Intel's firmware-based System Integrity Services offers a reliable method for run-time detection of attacks and intrusions that try to tamper with, disable, or circumvent protected software agents. By taking advantage of the capabilities of the system management mode in IA-32 processors, SIS becomes truly independent of the host operating system, and can reliably detect when an attack modifies or halts a protected program. The SIS architecture is not only practical in detecting many threats currently unaddressed in existing systems, but it consumes a relatively small amount of resources and time.

whitepaper What E-Mail Hackers Know that You Don't2006-01-31 14:13:53
  E-mail systems such as Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes and GroupWise were constructed with a single purpose in mind: accept and send the maximum amount of mail, and route that mail as efficiently as possible. Without question this has succeeded; e-mail is the most commonly utilized business communication tool on the planet, and its use is projected to continue to rise.

Unfortunately, e-mail's sharp rise in popularity makes it an attractive target for individuals seeking to do harm, either for their own misguided personal satisfaction, or more likely, for financial gain. The first e-mail hackers found simple vulnerabilities in the operating systems and protocol stacks of e-mail systems, and exploited these known weaknesses. Now, however, hackers and virus writers have become specialists, constantly developing new and innovative methods of overcoming the improvements made in today's security systems. The game of cat-and-mouse is unlikely to end any time soon, if ever. With every improvement in defensive techniques, hackers and virus writers modify their tactics in an attempt to circumvent these defenses and wreak havoc on corporate networks. This document outlines how hackers are exploiting vulnerabilities in e-mail systems, and describes the widely available hacking tools they use. As a collection of already published risks to e-mail security, this white paper is written to educate IT security managers on the challenges they face.
