whitepaper Firewall Operations Management2009-04-01 Tufin Software Technologies
  Managing network security for a large organization has become a highly complex operation involving dozens or even hundreds of firewalls. Multiple sites and teams, different hardware and software vendors - all of these factors make it extremely difficult to ensure security in a consistent, efficient way. At the same time, corporate security policies have become more rigorous, and companies need to comply with a growing body of industry and government regulations.

whitepaper Ashland University Selects WebDefend as Critical Component in Overall Threat Mitigation and Event Correlation Model2009-03-30 Breach Security
  Ashland University is a mid-sized regional teaching university, historically related to the Brethren Church. The university sought a Web Application Firewall (WAF) as part of its overall threat mitigation and event correlation model. After evaluating several appliances, Ashland decided on Breach Security's WebDefend for its feature set, including host-based agents, application profiling and defect detection, extensive reporting, and granular policy management.

whitepaper The Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall for Email Redundancy2009-03-25 Barracuda Networks
  This paper describes how to use a Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall to obtain a level of redundancy and high reliability for email system without the complexity of setting up redundant email servers. So much business is accomplished via email that it is a serious issue when an organization's email server goes down. It is crucial that one do not lose any of the incoming email from customers and clients.

whitepaper Cyberoam UTM Provides Non-Stop Business Security and Connectivity to NDMC2009-03-23 Elitecore Technologies
  New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) is the Municipal Council of India's Capital City - New Delhi. NDMC was already using Cisco PIX. They wanted to replace this legacy firewall and also wanted to protect their 15 servers. A legacy firewall solution only cannot control indiscriminate surfing and blended threats originating on the Web. One of the main challenges faced was "Unproductive" use of internet bandwidth. Opening up access to these sites for all users resulted in bandwidth getting "Choked". After a demo of Cyberoam, their satisfaction culminated in the purchase of a Cyberoam 1000i appliance, which was deployed in gateway mode in their Delhi Head Office.

whitepaper Anchiva Hardware Scanning Engine2009-03-22 Anchiva Systems
  Traditional hardware acceleration technology in security appliances such as firewalls is focused mainly at accelerating packet processing at the network layer. This technology is useful in preventing network breakins when hackers aim their attacks at the network layer (TCP/IP), but is inadequate to detect or prevent today's attacks such as the spread of malware, which are embedded deep in the data content at the application layer. In comparison to firewalls, to prevent today's internet based threats Anchiva's innovative RapidRx ASIC focuses on accelerating content inspection at the application layer without affecting the performance of real time web based applications.

whitepaper Towards Complete Node Enumeration in a Peer-to-Peer Botnet2009-03-12 Association for Computing Machinery
  Modern advanced botnets may employ a decentralized peer-to-peer overlay network to bootstrap and maintain their command and control channels, making them more resilient to traditional mitigation efforts such as server incapacitation. As an alternative strategy, the malware defense community has been trying to identify the bot-infected hosts and enumerate the IP addresses of the participating nodes so that the list can be used by system administrators to identify local infections, block spam emails sent from bots, and configure firewalls to protect local users. Enumerating the infected hosts, however, has presented challenges. One cannot identify infected hosts behind firewalls or NAT devices by employing crawlers, a commonly used enumeration technique where recursive get-peerlist lookup requests are sent newly discovered IP addresses of infected hosts.

whitepaper A Chipset Level Network Backdoor: Bypassing Host-Based Firewall & IDS2009-03-12 Association for Computing Machinery
  Chipsets refer to a set of specialized chips on a computer's motherboard or an expansion card. This paper presents a proof of concept chipset level rootkit/network backdoor. It interacts directly with network interface card hardware based on a widely deployed Intel chipset 8255x, and it tested it successfully on two different Ethernet cards with this chipset. The network backdoor has the ability to both covertly send out packets and receive packets, without the need to disable security software installed in the compromised host in order to hide its presence.

whitepaper VoIP Phone Hardening - Part 12009-03-03 Global Knowledge
  There has been a significant increase in the number of companies choosing to deploy Cisco Unified Communications when phasing out their traditional time division multiplexed (TDM)-based systems. Unlike vendors whose security offerings protect individual devices in the voice system, Cisco provides comprehensive, integrated security that protects the entire network over which voice traffic travels. This white paper, based on Cisco Unified Communication Manager 5.x, 6.x, 7.x, looks at how the same security technologies and policies deployed to protect the data network can be used to protect the voice service as well.

whitepaper SonicWALL Case Study: Services for the UnderServed2009-03-01 SonicWall
  Services for the UnderServed (SUS) provides support services for individuals with special needs to live with dignity within the community, direct their own lives and attain personal fulfillment. The challenge was to consolidate security management over a widely distributed network, to provide a disaster recovery failover solution and to comply with HIPAA regulations. SUS deployed SonicWALL Global Management System, SonicWALL TZ and PRO Series Firewalls, SonicWALL SSL-VPN 2000 and SonicWALL Comprehensive Gateway Security Suite.

whitepaper It's Time to Fix the Firewall: Re-Establishing the Firewall as the Cornerstone of Enterprise Network Security2009-02-01 Palo Alto Networks
  For the last 15 years, port-blocking firewalls have been the cornerstone of enterprise network security. But much like a stone, they've stood still in the face of rapidly evolving applications and threats. It's no secret that modern applications and threats easily circumvent the traditional network firewall - so much so that enterprises have deployed an entire crop of "Firewall helpers" to help try to manage applications and threats. Palo Alto Networks was founded to fix the firewall - starting over with a clean sheet of paper, and focusing on applications, users, and content as the key elements to deliver visibility and control. Built on high-performance architecture, Palo Alto Networks' next-generation firewalls enable enterprises to safely enable a new breed of applications, without taking on the unnecessary risks that accompany them in traditional organizations.
