whitepaper SecSip: A Stateful Firewall for SIP-Based Networks2009-07-17 French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control
  SIP-based networks are becoming the de-facto standard for voice, video and instant messaging services. Being exposed to many threats while playing an major role in the operation of essential services, the need for dedicated security management approaches is rapidly increasing. This paper presents an original security management approach based on a specific vulnerability aware SIP stateful firewall. Through known attack descriptions, the paper illustrates the power of the configuration language of the firewall which uses the capability to specify stateful objects that track data from multiple SIP elements within their lifetime. The paper demonstrates through measurements on a real implementation of the firewall its efficiency and performance.

whitepaper Revealing Hidden Context: Improving Mental Models of Personal Firewall Users2009-07-17 University of British Columbia
  The Windows Vista personal firewall provides its diverse users with a basic interface that hides many operational details. However, concealing the impact of network context on the security state of the firewall may result in users developing an incorrect mental model of the protection provided by the firewall. The paper presents a study of participants' mental models of Vista Firewall (VF). The paper investigated changes to those mental models and their understanding of the firewall's settings after working with both the VF basic interface and the prototype. The prototype was designed to support development of a more contextually complete mental model through inclusion of network location and connection information.

whitepaper The FactPoint Group: 12 Ways Unified Threat Management Firewalls Are Driving Security Consolidation2009-07-01 SonicWall
  Just as virtualization has boosted server consolidation in data centers, so too are technology changes spurring consolidation of single-application security appliances on corporate networks Instead of one appliance per application, security consolidation aggregates multiple interconnected security applications on a single piece of hardware. This super-appliance goes by the name of Unified Threat Management or UTM. The point security appliance, once the paradigm for enterprise security with ease, has gone from being part of a solution to becoming part of the problem.

whitepaper SonicWALL Case Study: Potomac Hospital2009-07-01 SonicWall
  Based in Woodbridge, Virginia, Potomac Hospital (Potomac) is a 183-bed, not-for-profit community hospital with over 1,500 employees and 350 medical professionals. Potomac also has approximately 250 remote users located around the country, providing billing, coding, and various other activities, as well as third-party vendors, all of whom require secure access to Potomac network resources. The challenge was to establish easy-to-manage secure wireless networking for both patients and staff. Potomac deployed SonicWALL UTM firewalls, SonicWALL SonicPoint wireless access points and SonicWALL Continuous Data Protection (CDP) appliance.

whitepaper Enabling End-to-end IP Visual Communication by Securely Traversing Firewalls and NATs with TANDBERG Expressway2009-06-17 Tandberg
  TANDBERG's Expressway is the right solution for secure firewall and network address translation traversal. While there are a few solutions available, many are expensive, not secure, not available everywhere, restricting of feature sets, not ISP-friendly and not scalable.This paper identifies alternative solutions and compares them to the TANDBERG Expressway solution for firewall traversal.

whitepaper The Business Case for a Network Security Assessment2009-06-10
  When an organization suffers a security breach, the effects are felt immediately across the organization, not just in the IT department. It doesn't matter if the breach occurred through vulnerable web applications, leaked passwords, a poorly-configured firewall, an un-patched operating system or a misplaced zip drive; when the exploit is discovered, the common response for any company is to take the systems off-line to diagnose the source. Typically, that means revenue-generating platforms like websites or web applications, or the backup systems that support them, will be off-line until the issue is fixed and the vulnerabilities are remediated.

whitepaper Automatic Verification of Firewall Configurations With Respect to Security Policy Requirements2009-06-10 Dynamic Publishers
  A firewall is a key security component in computer networks. It filters network traffic based on an ordered list of filtering rules. Firewall configurations must be correct and complete with respect to security policies. A security policy is a set of predicates, which is a high level description of traffic controls. This paper proposes an automatic method to verify the correctness of firewall configurations with respect to security policies. The paper defines Boolean formulae to represent security policy and firewall configuration and then one verifies their equivalence using the SAT solver. If the configuration is incorrect, the method produces a counterexample to help the user to correct his firewall configuration. The paper implemented this new technique and the first results were very promising.
