whitepaper Rootkits: Digital Rights Management, Spyware, and Security2006-04-13 06:57:21 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  Sony-BMG and other record companies face some hard decisions. The Internet is transforming the distribution and promotion of music, and the industry is searching intently for new business models. Many in the industry see DRM as part of the industry's future. For these DRM advocates, Sony-BMG's misadventures with CD copy protection are a cautionary example of the downside of DRM. In adopting active protection, Sony-BMG crossed an important boundary: it began distributing software, thus its CDs could inflict serious security and privacy harm on its customers. An unprotected or passive music CD can't expose customers to security exploits, install spyware, or leak customer information, but executable software can do all of these things, unless it's designed and tested with security in mind.

whitepaper Anti-Spyware: Knowledge and Software for Securing the Home PC2006-04-13 04:16:43 East Carolina University
  It only takes a moment and you do not know until it is too late, if even then. While you are checking your email or looking up a website, a silent predator is downloaded onto your computer to watch your every move. OnGuard Online, a multimedia Internet safety campaign run by the Federal Trade Commission, defines spyware as "software installed on your computer without your consent to monitor or control your computer use." As easily as that, your privacy is invaded, your PC is slowly grinding to a halt, and you are left wondering what happened and what you can do about it.   
whitepaper Spy? Where?: Understanding Spyware2006-04-13 04:19:54
  Where is the spy that is lurking on one's computer? Spyware is an insidious and crafty computer program. Even though spyware hasn't been around as long as viruses, it is beginning to make its mark with computer security breaches. Spyware can collect personal data from a users' computer. If not taken care of spyware can cause delayed processing of many of your applications. Spyware has begun to cause more problems than viruses. There are many forms of spyware ranging from mild to severe. Since spyware is causing so much grief, laws are being made to prevent companies from taking advantage of people with their spyware.   
whitepaper Securing the Endpoint and Gateway: CA's Integrated Threat Management Vision2006-04-13 04:20:57
  All companies face growing threats from an increasingly broad set of complex and challenging computer software attacks. These threats include not only viruses of all kinds, but also the more recent threats of spyware, spam, rootkits, keyloggers and many other categories of malware. The result of these attacks is sometimes just reduced employee productivity, but in many cases the result is a significant decrease in critical service availability and sometimes severe financial harm to the company as a whole. This paper considers the elements of an effective threat management solution and discusses the CA vision for integrated threat management.   
whitepaper Watchguard and Unified Threat Management: A Technical Perspective2006-04-13 06:52:01
  The evolution of traditional network security practices into comprehensive Unified Threat Management solutions brings with it a level of protection never before available to corporate networks. Unified Threat Management is the name for an emerging trend in the appliance security market. Unified Threat Management appliances have evolved traditional firewall and VPN appliances into a solution that has many additional capabilities, such as URL filtering, spam blocking, spyware protection, intrusion prevention, and gateway antivirus, as well as centralized management, monitoring, and logging capabilities - all functions previously handled by multiple systems.   
whitepaper Unified Threat Management: How to Stop Spyware, Spam, Viruses, and Other Malicious Attacks2006-04-13 06:53:07
  As networks become more complex and are expected to do more to support and drive business objectives, a simple firewall is not capable of providing the security one's network needs. This is where Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions can be the right solution. Unified Threat Management is the name for an emerging trend in the appliance security market. Unified Threat Management appliances are an evolution of traditional firewall and VPN appliances into a product that has many additional capabilities such as: URL filtering, spam blocking, spyware protection, intrusion prevention, gateway antivirus, and a centralized management, monitoring, and logging function.   
whitepaper Spyware vs. Viruses: A Comparison of Today's Top Computer-Based Threats2006-06-01 08:54:23 Trend Micro
  Spyware and viruses have become part of our everyday existence -- a harsh reminder that along with the overwhelming positive aspects of the digital age also come threats that prey on that progress.

whitepaper Spam Zombies From Outer Space2006-06-14 01:00:26 University of Calgary
  How can better email worms be created? How can spyware claim more victims? How can better spam be sent? It turns out that these three questions are all related. This paper looks at the future threat posed by email worms, spyware, and spammers that use zombie machines in a new way: sophisticated data mining of their victims' saved email. The end result skirts many defenses, and could trick even experienced users. The paper presents new defenses that can be deployed now against this threat.
