Webcast: Does Your Anti-virus REALLY Protect You Against Spyware? 2006-09-18 08:57:03 Sunbelt Software

While most enterprise anti-virus software includes at least some protection against spyware, it's important to remember that anti-spyware functionality is just an afterthought in the majority of anti-virus solutions available today.

So it stands to reason that anti-virus tools that were designed first and foremost to scan for viruses and worms won't be as effective at detecting adware and spyware. With their focus primarily on files and processes, anti-virus solutions may simply not detect tell-tale signs of spyware such as groups of offending registry keys.

Check out this TechRepublic Webcast, now available on demand, to hear Sunbelt Software's President, Alex Eckelberry, and Director of Malware Research, Eric Howes, discuss spyware detection and why the lack of a specific and aggressive anti-spyware strategy can leave your company vulnerable to a host of contemporary security threats.

Moderated by James Hilliard of TechRepublic, the discussion covers these important topics and more:

The unique characteristics of spyware

Why anti-virus solutions may not always effectively detect and remove spyware

The key differences between anti-virus products and dedicated anti-spyware solutions

Independent tests have proven that stand-alone anti-spyware products are better than anti-virus solutions at detecting and removing spyware from networked computers. So check out this on-demand Webcast to learn more about the threats associated with spyware and the benefits of including a dedicated anti-spyware solution in your overall security posture.

In Search of the Best Way to Fight Spam 2006-05-26 01:00:26 SoftLogica

The most surprising thing about spam, and what has kept it plaguing one's e-mail accounts for years now, is that it invariably makes money for its senders. A Radicati-Mirapoint study year found that almost one third of e-mail users have clicked a link in an unsolicited commercial e-mail for more information, and nearly one in ten have gone on to purchase a product as a result.

Outbound Email and Content Security in Today's Enterprise, 2006 2006-08-28 13:07:06 Proofpoint

Data protection continues to be a hot topic as large-scale breaches of personal information come to light and as the regulatory environment becomes more sophisticated. The convenience and ubiquity of email as a business communications tool has exposed enterprises to a wide variety of new risks associated with outbound email.

How concerned are companies about the content of email leaving their organizations? How do companies manage the legal and financial risks associated with outbound email?

Proofpoint commissioned Forrester Consulting to field an online survey of email decision makers at large US and UK enterprises. Respondents were asked about their concerns, priorities and plans related to the content of email leaving their organizations.

Read Proofpoint's 3rd annual study which summarizes the findings of this survey, including surprising statistics about how large companies address outbound messaging and content security issues.

Complying with the HIPAA Security Rule: Protecting ePHI in Email, HTTP, and FTP Transmissions 2006-08-28 13:07:15 Proofpoint

Implementing Captcha Validation With OWA 2003 and Forms-Based Authentication 2006-09-20 01:00:17 TechGenix

The word 'Captcha' stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. Most World Wide Web users will have seen this kind of test in the form of a picture of a word (usually distorted), which the user must type into an input box to prove that they are a real person, and not just a spambot, or some other computerized agent trawling the Web for exploits. This paper will give an example of how Captcha could be added to Outlook Web Access 2003 by modifying the FBA logon.asp file.

Messaging Hygiene at Microsoft: How Microsoft IT Defends Against Spam, Viruses, and E-mail Attacks 2006-06-02 01:00:29 Microsoft

The prevalence of spam, phishing and malicious code (including viruses, worms, Trojan horses, macros, scripts, and unauthorized ActiveX controls) continues to be a growing concern for anyone who connects to the Internet or uses e-mail.
