whitepaper The Impact of Messaging and Web Threats - An Osterman Research White Paper2008-04-01 McAfee
  Messaging, internal, and Web-based threats are increasing in number and severity. The risks to organizations large and small are not theoretical -- there are real problems that users and their employers face if they do not establish adequate defenses against the growing variety of malware, exploits and other threats that are directed against them. In this paper, you will learn the variety of ways messaging and web security capabilities can be managed, how to define a multi-layer defense strategy and implement key techniques, and anticipate future trends in the messaging threat landscape. With messaging security becoming more difficult, organizations are finding they must deploy defenses at all the physical venues where threats may enter a network, or through which users may intentionally or inadvertently send sensitive content; and they must implement a layered defensive strategy to protect against all types of threats.

whitepaper Anti-Spyware: How to Prevent Spyware With Finjan's Active Real-Time Code Inspection2008-04-01 Finjan Software
  Cybercrime is booming and money is the driving force behind the growth of targeted attacks against corporate networks that steal business data that can be sold on to other criminals. Spyware has evolved from an online nuisance to a dire web threat. Cybercriminals use Spyware programs to hijack users' sensitive personal information at will for profit. Spyware distributors use evasive techniques to avoid detection. Spyware presents a problem for corporations. If their employees' machines are not sufficiently protected, Spyware attacks can result in employee login information being compromised, allowing access to an employee's network account and thus accessing confidential and business information.

whitepaper State of Internet Security Report: Protecting Business Email2008-03-27 Webroot Software
  Business dependence on email is greater than ever before and the volume of threats has spiked dramatically. For this State of Internet Security report, Webroot surveyed 1,500 email security product decision makers in companies across seven countries. The report finds that close to 80% of U.S. businesses surveyed experienced a spam attack last year while half also experienced spyware, virus and phishing attacks. The report discusses these attacks in-depth while also offering helpful information on legal compliance, internal sabotage and the type of protection you need to keep your business safe from attack.

whitepaper Panda Managed Office Protection: Switching From AV to SaaS2008-03-01 Panda Security
  SMBs know they are exposed to the same risks and subject to the same regulations as large organizations. And with more threats in circulation, their protection requirements are increasingly complex: There are more threats than ever (PandaLabs has received more malware last year than in the previous 16 years combined). Malware is silent and more difficult to combat as long as it remains hidden, causing identity theft, financial and productivity losses and other malicious action. This malware landscape that organizations have to face requires a full set of maximized capabilities for malware detection. When SMBs implement a security solution, they have to choose the one that provides adequate protection while adapting to their specific needs. In many cases, their limited resources are not enough to obtain the security levels they require.

whitepaper How to Protect Business From Malware at the Endpoint and the Perimeter2008-02-28 Webroot Software
  Financial motives are triggering a massive explosion of malware variants and spam designed to evade traditional signature-based detection mechanisms. In the early days, it was all about the destructive nature of virus. Today, however, IT management must contend with highly sophisticated spyware. Keyloggers, rootkits and Trojans are the fundamental building blocks of third generation malware that is delivered via spam and infected Web sites. The number of possible variants created for this malware is unlimited and is contributing to exponential growth that is clogging both computers and networks. Computers running slower than usual, rapidly shrinking free space on the hard disk, slower Internet connection due to increased network traffic, or applications starting themselves could be signs of an infection.

whitepaper Stop Spam, Viruses and Spyware: Endpoint and Perimeter Malware Guide2008-02-28 Webroot Software
  IT systems are under constant, increasingly sophisticated attack. Today's cyber criminals are using highly evolved, blended malware to access corporate and customer data at an alarming rate. Additional layers of protection at the perimeter are essential to combat the sheer volume of this increasing threat and to prevent networks from being clogged by spam.

Read this paper to learn about the prevalence and types of emerging threats and how to recognize them. This paper also provides recommendations on endpoint and perimeter security, as well as advice on addressing budgetary constraints, regulatory requirements, and much more.

whitepaper Portable Document Format (PDF) Security Analysis and Malware Threats2008-02-24 Black Hat
  Adobe Portable Document Format has become the most widespread and used document description format throughout the world. It is also a true programming language of its own, strongly dedicated to document creation and manipulation which has accumulated a lot of powerful programming features from version to version. Until now, no real, exploratory security analysis of the PDF and of its programming power with respect to malware attacks has been conducted. Only a very few cases of attacks are known, which exploit vulnerabilities in the management of external programming languages (Javacript, VBS). This paper presents an in-depth security analysis of the PDF programming features and capabilities, independently from any vulnerability.

whitepaper FPGA Design of Boyer-Moore Algorithm for Spyware Detection2008-02-11 University of Malaya
  Spyware is becoming increasingly destructive and sophisticated in threatening the privacy and efficient computing of the internet users. This new paradigm has opened the path for vendors to stop or substantially reduce the spreading of this uninvited program. Software and hardware approach has been identified to be implemented in order to lessen the threat. However, software approach is known to take many CPU cycles making it less efficient technique in the age of high speed gigabit network. Hence, the paper proposed the implementation of a hardware implementation of spyware detection using configurable hardware called Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The FPGA apply Boyer-Moore algorithm which is a pattern matching algorithm in order to detect pernicious spyware.

whitepaper Embedded Malware Detection Using Markov n-grams2008-02-11 NUST Institute of Information Technology
  Embedded malware is a recently discovered security threat that allows malcode to be hidden inside a benign file. It has been shown that embedded malware is not detected by commercial antivirus software even when the malware signature is present in the antivirus database. This paper presents a novel anomaly detection scheme to detect embedded malware. They first analyze byte sequences in benign files to show that benign files' data generally exhibit a 1-st order dependence structure. Consequently, conditional n-grams provide a more meaningful representation of a file's statistical properties than traditional n-grams. To capture and leverage this correlation structure for embedded malware detection, they model the conditional distributions as Markov n-grams.
