Topics that will be covered include configuring exceptions for key functions like File and Print sharing, remote desktop and administration, and programs. Key differences between the Windows XP firewall and the Advanced Firewall (included in Windows Vista) will be discussed as well.   
whitepaper Moving Toward Network Security and Firewalls for Protecting and Preserving Private Resources on the Internet2008-03-04 Journal of Theoretical and Applied Information Technology
  Computer and network security are challenging topics among executives and managers of computer corporations. Internet security is the practice of protecting and preserving private resources and information on the Internet. Even discussing security policies may seem to create a potential liability. As a result, enterprise management teams are often not aware of the many advances and innovations in Internet and intranet security technology. Without this knowledge, corporations are not able to take full advantage of the benefits and capabilities of the network.

whitepaper IFAW Captures Total Security With Check Point Endpoint Security2008-03-03 Check Point Software Technologies
  The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) began four decades ago and has grown to become the world's leading international animal welfare organization. With approximately 70 percent of employees working outside the organization's headquarters, IFAW needed a secure remote access solution that could guarantee more internal security and controls, especially on mobile users. IFAW found its solution in Check Point Endpoint Security. The first single agent for total endpoint security that combines the highest-rated firewall, Network Access Control (NAC), program control, antivirus, anti-spyware, data security, and remote access.

whitepaper Formal Verification of Firewall Policies2008-02-23 Michigan State University
  Firewalls are the mainstay of enterprise security and the most widely adopted technology for protecting private networks. The quality of protection provided by a firewall directly depends on the quality of its policy (i.e., configuration). Due to the lack of tools for verifying firewall policies, most firewalls on the Internet have been plagued with policy errors. A firewall policy error either creates security holes that will allow malicious traffic to sneak into a private network or blocks legitimate traffic and disrupts normal business processes, which in turn could lead to irreparable, if not tragic, consequences. This paper proposes a firewall verification tool in this paper. This tool takes as input a firewall policy and a given property, then outputs whether the policy satisfies the property.

whitepaper Secure Desktop On-Demand Webcast2008-02-21 Novell
  The desktop or endpoint is one of the most vulnerable parts of your environment. Threats are everywhere. You have users who love to experiment with device settings (only to wonder why they can't run an application). And then there are viruses, hackers, unauthorized USB devices and dozens of other external hazards. You need systems and processes that mitigate these risks and ensure desktop integrity. That's what the Secure Desktop Solution from Novell is all about. It's the only solution that keeps the endpoint secure by helping you measure, mitigate, audit and defend against internal and external threats.

whitepaper UTM-1 Adopted for Security Infrastructure of a New Application Services Business2008-01-25 Check Point Software Technologies
  Sooki Co., Ltd. provides rentals, sales, and repairs of survey and measurement devices, and measuring instrumentation and is growing in areas such as development and implementation of automated survey systems. The firm has also started a new service operation providing 3D application services for various industries that use 3D measurement technologies. To enable secure use of these applications by customers from plants, offices, and research centers, Sooki installed the UTM-1 Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliance in its data center. This installation provided a firewall, intrusion prevention, antivirus and anti-spyware protection, and an SSL VPN, all at low cost. The small-scale UTM appliance Safe@Office 500 was also installed at each company location, improving point-to-point network security.

whitepaper Firewall Compressor: An Algorithm for Minimizing Firewall Policies2008-01-13 Michigan State University
  A firewall is a security guard placed between a private network and the outside Internet that monitors all incoming and outgoing packets. The function of a firewall is to examine every packet and decide whether to accept or discard it based upon the firewall's policy. This policy is specified as a sequence of (possibly conflicting) rules. With the explosive growth of Internet-based applications and malicious attacks, the number of rules in firewalls have been increasing rapidly, which consequently degrades network performance and throughput. This paper proposes Firewall Compressor, a framework that can significantly reduce the number of rules in a firewall while keeping the semantics of the firewall unchanged.

whitepaper Importance of Web Application Firewall Technology for Protecting Web-Based Resources2008-01-10 Cybertrust
  Web-based applications and services have changed the landscape of information delivery and exchange in today's corporate, government, and educational arenas. Ease of access, increased availability of information, and the richness of web services have universally increased productivity and operational efficiencies. These increases have led to heavier reliance on web-based services and greater integration of internal information systems and data repositories with web-facing applications. While motivations of attackers against a victim's corporate and organizational assets remain the same (financial, IP, identity theft, services disruption, or denial of service, for example), web applications enable a whole new class of vulnerabilities and exploit techniques such as SQL injection, cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and cross-site request forgery, to name a few.
