To understand organizations' perceptions about various email management systems, Sunbelt Software engaged Osterman Research to survey organizations that are using five different email management systems including Barracuda Spam Firewall, GFI MailEssentials, McAfee GroupShield for Microsoft Exchange, and Symantec Brightmail. This white paper presents the results of that survey, comparing Sunbelt Software's Messaging Ninja with the other four systems. The tools were evaluated on these key criteria:
- Anti-spam, anti-virus, anti-phishing, and attachment filtering capabilities
- Improvements in spam capture efficiency
over time
- Improvements in anti-spam false positive performance over time
- Ease of use
- Reliability
- Person-hours spent on system deployment
(per 1,000 users)
- Person-hours required for system management (per 1,000 users)
This paper is a must-read for any IT strategist or e-mail administrator who's actively researching messaging management tools for a mid-market enterprise.

Professional Security Services Success Story: Alestra | 2006-11-29 01:00:19 |
Alcatel-Lucent |
| |
Alestra, a leading service provider in Mexico, was concerned that severe outages caused by security incidents would result in bad publicity, a loss in customer confidence, and potential litigation. It needed a response strategy and team that would be able to: identify and recover from security incidents, shield its internal and external customers from being affected by incidents, and learn from past attacks to help prevent new ones. Lucent delivered comprehensive policies and procedures and a security incident response program that included a recommended set of security tools, an incident response team, and a clearly outlined system for responding to all security incidents.

An Adaptive Anomaly Detector for Worm Detection | 2006-11-29 |
Rutgers, State University of New Jersey |
| |
This paper presents an adaptive end-host anomaly detector where a supervised classifier trained as a traffic predictor is used to control a time-varying detection threshold. Training and testing it on real traffic traces collected from a number of end-hosts, it shows the detector dominates an existing fixed threshold detector. This comparison is robust to the choice of off-the-shelf classifier employed, and to a variety of performance criteria: the predictor's error rate, the reduction in the "Threshold gap" and the ability to detect the simulated threat of incremental worm traffic added to the traces. This detector is intended as a part of a distributed worm detection system that infers system-wide threats from end-host detections, thereby avoiding the sensing and resource limitations of conventional centralized systems.
