whitepaper Bridging the Great Divide: The Convergence of Physical and Logical Security2008-08-01 Imprivata
  Despite their common purpose, physical access and logical access technologies exist in parallel worlds. Physical access technologies, such as building security systems and employee access cards, are controlled by the corporate security department. Application passwords and firewalls are the domain of the IT department. Each group's respective networks, technology paths, and user interfaces are completely separate. This paper addresses how converged physical and logical security works, the benefits it provides, and what it will mean for organizations of all kinds.

whitepaper Systematic Structural Testing of Firewall Policies2008-07-29 North Carolina State University
  Firewalls are the mainstay of enterprise security and the most widely adopted technology for protecting private networks. As the quality of protection provided by a firewall directly depends on the quality of its policy (i.e., configuration), ensuring the correctness of firewall policies is important and yet difficult. To help ensure the correctness of a firewall policy, this paper proposes a systematic structural testing approach for firewall policies. It defines structural coverage (based on coverage criteria of rules, predicates, and clauses) on the policy under test. To achieve high structural coverage effectively, three automated packet generation techniques are developed: the random packet generation, the one based on local constraint solving, and the most sophisticated one based on global constraint solving.

whitepaper How Cisco IT Deployed Cisco Firewall Services Modules at Scientific Atlanta2008-07-19 Cisco Systems
  This case study describes Cisco ITs internal deployment of the Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM) within the network of the former Scientific Atlanta Company, which was acquired by Cisco in February 2006. Cisco customers can draw on Cisco ITs real-world experience in this area to help support similar enterprise needs.

whitepaper What's New in 9.4.2: XML Firewall Features2008-07-19 F5 Networks
  Though each of the features detailed above were presented as discrete features, the power and flexibility of BIG-IP ASM is demonstrated through application profiles which can combine aspects of the different XML Firewall features. Being able to create a customized policy for any XML-based application and apply it at a central administration point means administrators can now implement security policies at the enterprise level, not just at an application-specific level. Thanks to its location in the network, BIG-IP ASM 9.4.2 has the capability to remove risk from application delivery.

whitepaper Stephen S. Wise Temple Chooses WebDefend for Its Non-Intrusive and Effective Web Application Security2008-07-11 Breach Security
  Stephen S. Wise Temple was started in 1964 by Rabbi Isaiah Zeldin and 35 families. In the years since, it has grown into a progressive Synagogue that blends Jewish values, ethics, and traditions into a house of worship and community. Identified as a top priority within its technology strategy, Stepien S. Wise Temple decided to implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to help protect their web applications. Stephen S. Wise evaluated several other web application firewall solutions on the market. Compared to the other products it evaluated, WebDefend was a better overall solution and had a superior user interface.

whitepaper Associating the Authentication and Connection-Establishment Phases in Passive Authorization Techniques2008-07-04 National University of Science and Technology
  Port Knocking and Single Packet Authorization (SPA) are passive authorization techniques that provide firewall-level authentication to ensure authorized access to potentially vulnerable network services. Although these techniques serve as powerful protection mechanism against the intruders, they still suffer from a major problem. The lack of association between the authentication process and the follow-on TCP connection to be established is the most crucial problem still persisting in both of the passive authorization techniques. This problem allows an attacker to connect to a protected server on behalf of a valid client, after the client has successfully authenticated with the firewall but before he establishes a TCP connection with the protected server.

whitepaper WatchGuard eXtensible Threat Management: An overview of XTM2008-07-01 WatchGuard Technologies
  Unified threat management (UTM) spawned a new era of IT security. The promise of these integrated security appliances proved to be an exceptional and efficient way of securing commercial networks. However, businesses today face an inflection point, dictated by changing market trends and new technologies that demand more of today's UTM. Hence the need is for eXtensible threat management (XTM) solutions, the next generation of UTM appliances. XTM is predicated upon the substantive expansion of three elements: more security, greater networking capabilities, and more management flexibility. This paper provides an overview of these issues and the a perspective on "extensibility" and XTM.

whitepaper ACS Technology Platform: Comparison of "Behind-the-Firewall" Vs. Hosted Learning Solutions2008-06-20 Affiliated Computer Services
  Web-based learning, as well as online access to learning administration and reporting services, requires a high-performance, scalable, and reliable platform to meet baseline user requirements. Users (learners, managers, and administrators) have come to expect a quality experience with any technology enabled learning solution and generally will reject slow or unreliable solutions. These requirements are the same whether the learning solution is managed "Behind the Firewall" on a customer's intranet or through an Application Services Provider (ASP).
