whitepaper Webcast: Combating the Elevated Threat of Spyware in Today's SMBs2006-08-30 13:05:36 Webroot Software
  One of the main reasons spyware writers are increasingly targeting small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) is because their networks are generally easier to penetrate than those of large enterprises. In fact, in the first quarter of 2006 alone, more than 50 percent of small businesses experienced spyware attacks, according to a recent Internet study by Webroot Software. Damages included, among other things:

  • Drained IT resources
  • Slowed system performance
  • Reduced employee productivity
  • Compromised confidential information
  • Lost sales

Listen to this on-demand Webcast to hear James Hilliard, Moderator for TechRepublic, and anti-spyware experts from Webroot Software, discuss the current state of spyware and how it threatens today's SMBs. You'll learn:

  • Why cyber-criminals are targeting SMBs like never before
  • Why it's easy for spyware to find small businesses
  • The cost of spyware to SMBs

You'll also learn about Webroot's best-of-breed anti-spyware solution, Spy Sweeper Enterprise 3.0, and how it can help protect your network against even the most insidious forms of spyware, including rootkits, keyloggers, and Trojans.

whitepaper Webcast: If it Ain't Broke, Break Into It: Best Practices for Penetration Testing and Remediation2006-09-15 15:09:17 Core Security
  Organizations spend a great deal of time and money securing their network perimeters from external threats. However, nearly half of the security breaches that were made public in 2005 were from insider attacks. Unless companies test their systems completely, they are leaving themselves wide open to insiders who pose a huge risk to the network's safety.

Check out this on-demand Webcast, sponsored by Core Security and PatchLink, to hear Charles Kolodgy, Research Director with leading analyst firm IDC, Chris Andrew, Vice President of Security Technologies at PatchLink, and Max Caceres, Director of Product Management at Core Security, discuss these topics and more:

  • The Security Conundrum (threats and IT deployment) and why security is challenging and requires planning, not just reaction.
  • How enterprises are trying to solve their security problems and why those options work or don't work as intended.
  • The Security and Vulnerability Management (SVM) market and how SVM helps enterprises address security problems.
  • Why patching/remediation and penetration testing are essential to the ESRM
  • Best practices and resources for testing your network for insider threats, including how to break into a Linux or Windows box within seconds.

whitepaper Anti-Spam Effectiveness: Is Your Current Solution Up to Par?2006-09-29 10:34:50 Proofpoint
  Although the war on spam continues to intensify, many companies are losing the battle. As spamming tactics become more aggressive, many enterprises find themselves drowning - once again - in a rising flood of spam.

Spammers have grown in sophistication and use a wide variety of new techniques - such as highly variable language, quickly rotating URLs and obfuscated images - to thwart anti-spam filters. The use of massive networks of spam sending zombie machines has driven spam volumes through the roof while seriously impairing the effectiveness of blacklists and other reputation-based anti-spam solutions.

Is your current anti-spam solution up to the task? Are your users receiving more spam in their inboxes? Are you, or your IT department, spending more and more time trying to stem the flow of spam?

In this web seminar replay, Proofpoint product expert Rami Habal will discuss some of the newest techniques used by spammers, the latest email-borne threats, and what you can do to provide "zero-hour" protection against all these threats.

View this webinar, "Anti-Spam Effectiveness: Is Your Current Solution Up to Par?" and learn about:

  • The latest techniques used by spammers - and how they are eroding spam filter effectiveness.
  • How new attack techniques such as "spear phishing" pose an increasing threat to corporate security.
  • What you should expect from your anti-spam solution - and how to measure the effectiveness of your current anti-spam system.
  • Cutting-edge technology available to reduce these threats and increase your spam effectiveness.

  
whitepaper Webcast: The New Exchange Architecture: Using Continuity to Lower Cost and Improve Email Availability2006-09-12 09:43:46 MessageOne
  Microsoft Exchange servers are prone to outages resulting from database and Active Directory corruption, viruses and malware, hardware failures, SAN failures, improper configuration, and loss of connectivity due to natural disasters and other disruptions. Until recently, however, there were no low-cost solutions to protect your enterprise against all of these failure scenarios.

But now more than 1,000 major companies have adopted a new architecture for Microsoft Exchange—one that ensures uninterrupted email availability. By combining traditional recovery approaches such as tape backup, clusters, and replication with low-cost, managed continuity services, these organizations have eliminated the risk of downtime while reducing network complexity and lowering their email management costs.

Check out this TechRepublic Webcast, now available on demand, to hear Paul D'Arcy, Vice President of Marketing at MessageOne, and James Hilliard, Moderator for TechRepublic, drill down on these important email availability topics and more:

  • Understanding real-world failure data for Microsoft Exchange
  • How a standby email system that can be activated in 60 seconds can complement your existing tape, cluster, replication, or SAN-based recovery strategies
  • How MessageOne's low-cost, managed EMS Email Continuity can help you ensure 99.999% Exchange and BlackBerry availability

There's only one high-availability solution for email that's immune to database corruption and Windows viruses: MessageOne's EMS Email Continuity. So listen to this free Webcast, sponsored by MessageOne, to learn more about EMS and how it can help you ensure that your company's email is always up and running, no matter what.

  
whitepaper 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.
