whitepaper Best of Breed vs. Suite Anti-spyware: What's Best for You?2006-07-31 16:33:45 Webroot Software
  This paper offers a compelling first-person account by noted security expert Ira Winkler of a penetration test he devised to demonstrate how hackers could theoretically compromise the highly sensitive Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems that secure nuclear reactors. Winkler, who is President of the Internet Security Advisors Group and has been called a "Modern Day James Bond" by the media, describes how his plan lured utility company employees to a Web site that downloaded spyware onto their systems—spyware that ultimately allowed Winkler's team to control the SCADA system and hence a nuclear reactor! Winker's paper points up the critical need for deploying anti-spyware software and builds a strong case for choosing a best of breed, or standalone, anti-spyware solution rather than a suite-based product.

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 Penetration Testing: Assessing Your Overall Risks Before Attackers Do2007-01-20 01:00:25 Core Security
  Network Security has evolved from protecting against "script kiddies" trying to break into networks to combating criminal organizations that have complex and strategic hacking efforts. It has become apparent that there is real money to be made from criminal hacking and this trend is putting companies at substantial risk. The only way to really determine if your company's data is secure is to be a hacker yourself and test your company's security.

This white paper, from the SANS Training Institute, shows you how to:
  • Perform penetration tests against your network and find security holes before hackers do
  • Replicate the types of actions that a malicious attacker would take
  • Give your company a more accurate representation of your security posture at any given time
  • And much more

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.
