whitepaper Keeping Your Business Safe - Understanding the Issues2005-09-29 09:34:39
  In spite of all the publicity, legislation and vendor focus, the spyware epidemic is still out of control and doing massive damage. In April, Microsoft estimated that 50% of all PC crashes were due to spyware. Last June, Merrill Lynch stated that they understood that close to 25% of Dell’s support calls were due to spyware related system performance degradation. A statistic from an industry wide survey shows that 55% of all corporate PCs are typically infected with multiple instances of some form of spyware other than cookies (Trojan, system monitor or adware). In March 2005, an industry web crawler identified 4,294 Web sites with 89,806 total associate web pages containing some form of spyware. These are just a few statistics which support the trend of rising costs from dealing with spyware in the enterprise environment. Higher profile damages from corporate spyware infections include disclosure of corporate information or theft of high value assets. Lower profile damages, but probably more costly, are the everyday cleanup costs from dealing with spyware. The majority of these costs come from IT help desk calls, lost productivity and eventual PC reinstalls, all of which consume large IT resources.

whitepaper Security Solutions Give Mobility the Green Light2005-10-10 17:38:09
  While mobile computing devices can greatly enhance employee productivity, they present a variety of unique security risks you simply can't afford to ignore. For example, mobile devices are easily lost or stolen, and if the data that's accessible through a lost device falls into the wrong hands, the threat to your business is severe. The business risks associated with unsecured mobile data include identity theft, lost revenue, potential legal liabilities, and diminished consumer confidence in your brand. Check out this on-demand Webinar from Insight to learn more about trends in mobile computing, their ramifications for network security, and products and services that can help ensure the integrity of your mobile data.   
whitepaper A Benchmark Suite for Behavior-Based Security Mechanisms2006-06-09 01:00:26 Northeastern University
  This paper presents a benchmark suite for evaluating behavior-based security mechanisms. Behavior-based mechanisms are used to protect computer systems from intrusion and detect malicious code embedded in legitimate applications. They complement signature-based mechanisms (e.g., anti-virus products) by tackling zero-day attacks that have no signatures extracted yet, as well as polymorphous attacks that have no stable signatures. The paper presents a benchmark suite of eight programs. All of them are legitimate applications and can be infected with a variety of malevolent activities. An evaluation framework is designed to infect, disinfect, build and run the benchmark programs. This benchmark suite aims to help evaluate the effectiveness of behavior-based defense mechanisms during multiple development stages, including prototyping, testing, and normal operation.   
whitepaper Introduction to Intrusion Detection With Snort2006-11-01 01:00:29 Sun Microsystems
  As soon as someone discovers a new computer security vulnerability, hordes of crackers start knocking at the doors of computers worldwide to see if they can penetrate their defenses. Many sites employ a combination of border router firewalls and host-based packet filters and wrappers to protect themselves, but what if the vulnerability is in the very mechanism that's used to secure a service? How can systems administrators know that their machines are under attack and/or have been compromised? The best way to catch the crackers in the act is to use an Intrusion Detection System (IDS). After a brief discussion of IDS, this paper focuses on a pattern-matching network-based IDS, Snort.   
whitepaper A Survey on Attacks and Countermeasures in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks2006-05-10 01:00:28 Springer Science+Business Media
  Security is an essential service for wired and wireless network communications. The success of Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANET) strongly depends on people's confidence in its security. However, the characteristics of MANET pose both challenges and opportunities in achieving security goals, such as confidentiality, authentication, integrity, availability, access control, and non-repudiation. This paper provides a survey on attacks and countermeasures in MANET. The countermeasures are features or functions that reduce or eliminate security vulnerabilities and attacks. First, the paper gives an overview of attacks according to the protocols stacks, and to security attributes and mechanisms, and then the paper presents preventive approaches following the order of the layered protocol stacks.
