The Essential Elements of Comprehensive Endpoint Security 26/03/08 Symantec

For today’s computing environments, there is little question that endpoint security is a required component of an overall enterprise security strategy. Various trends fostering user mobility ensure that many endpoints will frequently be exposed directly to the Internet and endpoints are still being exposed to numerous threats. This paper clarifies the various aspects of the endpoint security problem and to identify the functional requirements of a comprehensive endpoint security solution. sponsored by

The Essential Elements of Comprehensive Endpoint Security 01/10/06 Symantec

Establishing a comprehensive endpoint security solution is complicated, and issues like accounting for unmanaged nodes only increase the scope of the challenge. What's more, selecting and stitching together an appropriate set of counter-measures means navigating a complex landscape of point products. Accordingly, the intent of this white paper is to clarify the the endpoint security problem and identify the functional requirements of a comprehensive endpoint security solution.

Best Practices for Managing the Move to Vista 2007-12-20 Symantec

To deploy Windows Vista in 2008, a significant amount of preparation work must be done. Deployments don't just happen overnight. It will take many organizations about 18 months from the time Windows Vista ships to test applications, get Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to support applications, build images and run pilots. Organizations that ignore Vista until 2008 will not be ready to deploy it until 2010. While previous papers have focused on the need for a Windows Vista migration strategy and on recent security issues pertaining to the new operating system, this paper takes a closer look at best practices for Windows Vista planning, migration, and ongoing management.
