whitepaper 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
whitepaper The Essential Elements of Comprehensive Endpoint Security01/10/06 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.

whitepaper Software Assurance: An Overview of Current Industry Best Practices2008-02-01 Software Assurance Forum for Excellence in Code (SAFECode)
  Software underpins the information infrastructure that governments, critical infrastructure providers and businesses worldwide depend upon for daily operations and business processes. These organizations widely and increasingly use commercial off-the-shelf software ("COTS") to automate processes with information technology. At the same time, cyber attacks are becoming more stealthy and sophisticated, creating a complex and dynamic risk environment for IT-based operations that users are working to better understand and manage. As such, users have become increasingly concerned about the integrity, security and reliability of commercial software. To address these concerns and meet customer requirements, vendors have undertaken significant efforts to reduce vulnerabilities, improve resistance to attack and protect the integrity of the products they sell.   
whitepaper Security Framework and Best Practices in Offshore Outsourcing2008-02-01 Technology Partners International
  The continuous evolution and growth of outsourcing has caused service providers to increasingly offer their clients services from multiple locations across the world. Because of this upsurge, client operations have been extended into the service providers' various offshore sites. While this development has generally led to client cost savings and added capability, it has also raised client concerns about data security at those sites. Both client and service provider organizations have understood these offshore security issues in varying ways. This paper analyzes and clarifies issues surrounding offshore security; discusses how clients and service providers can both adopt a systematic security framework to reduce security risks, and outlines observed best practices.

whitepaper Best Practices for Managing the Move to Vista2007-12-20 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.

whitepaper Meeting Branch Office Business Needs for Security and Networking20070312090000 Juniper Networks
  Industry analysts and security experts agree that the key to striking a balance, between tight network security and the network access required by employees,, business partners, and customers is a layered security solution. A layered, security solution provides an IT department with a complete set of tools that, they can deploy to achieve end-to-end security from the remote site to the data, center. A layered security solution is designed to protect critical network, resources that reside on the network. If one layer fails, the next layer will, stop the attack and/or limit the damages that may occur., This paper identifies the different security layers considerations for, different networks and the components of Juniper Networks layered security, solutions.   
whitepaper Building a Case for IT Security Awareness: Best Practices for Increasing Impact and Promoting Cultural Change2007-03-01 SANS Institute
  Since the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) was signed into law in 2002, Federal agencies have struggled to establish agency-wide information security programs that meet baseline requirements for protecting information assets. Since the government performs important missions that require the storage and use of sensitive information, implementation of FISMA's provisions and establishment of program cohesiveness is essential. During the last three years, agencies have experienced serious security incidents that have left the public questioning the security of data. Though organizations continue to spend money on technology and software, technology solutions are not the complete answer.
