whitepaper Automated Penetration Testing: Can IT Afford Not To?2007-06-29 12:59:04 Core Security
  During IDC's research and in-depth interviews, they found compelling reasons why IT executives and team members must adopt Penetration Testing as an integral part of their Security and Vulnerability Management (SVM) processes and programs. In this white paper, IDC examines why organizations need to perform penetration testing now to:
  • Understand the actual risk to the network posed by specific vulnerabilities
  • Test the security of the network
  • Determine if current security investments are actually detecting and preventing attacks

whitepaper Best Practices for Managing and Enforcing Security on Your Endpoints2007-01-01 Senforce Technologies
  As technology changes and evolves, the effectiveness and value of any given security solution also changes. Security decision makers can dramatically increase their Security Return On Investment (ROI) by recognizing this, and concentrating their expenditure on solutions that address today's biggest security gaps. One concrete example of a security technology that is rapidly growing in effectiveness and importance is centrally-managed endpoint security enforcement tools, and by adding these technologies to the legacy security infrastructure, executives can dramatically increase both their organization's security and security ROI.

whitepaper Network Access Control: Combining Endpoint Protection with Endpoint Compliance2007-01-12 15:30:39 Symantec
  In this TechRepublic Webcast, Tony Brockman, Senior Technical Product Marketing Manager for Symantec, explains why network access control (NAC) is a proven strategy for protecting your enterprise from the ever-more-sophisticated attacks that threaten businesses today. During his presentation Brockman explains:
  • Why corporate networks are continually exposed to security breaches
  • How regulatory mandates contribute to your information security needs
  • Why you need a process that authorizes endpoints rather than users
Indeed, in its report titled, "Protect Your Network with a NAC Process," industry watchdog Gartner cautions, "Because of worms and other threats, you can no longer leave your networks open to unscreened devices and users."

Listen to this TechRepublic Webcast, sponsored by Symantec and now available on demand, to find out how Symantec Network Access Control can help you find and eliminate vulnerabilities and ensure that required patches, configuration, and protection signatures are in place before an endpoint is allowed to connect to your network.

whitepaper Nessus Vulnerability Scanner2006-12-07 Colorado State University
  Internet "Insecurity" is a major problem in today's web of interconnected computers and networks. Attackers such as script kiddies, hackers, and crackers are of course a major part of the problem. However, they are just that, a part of the problem. Why? It's quite simple. What good is an attack, without a subject to attack? Would be attackers get a lot of help from vulnerable systems such as networks, computers, servers, and software applications that are begging for attacks? Typically these attacks are easily carried out by exploiting the vulnerabilities. This paper will cover a free open source tool that can be used to discover the vulnerabilities of a given system.
