whitepaper Methodologies & Tools For Web Application Security Assessment2009-09-03 IBM
  Web application security assessments are a crucial phase in the development life-cycle of any web application. The process of assessing a web application should be handled using the same approach as any other testing (e.g., Unit testing, Quality Assurance, etc.). A well-documented methodology should be followed carefully, and in most cases, the use of automated tools will speed up the process.

This white paper suggests a methodology for web application security assessments, as well as an explanation on how to use automated tools for accelerating the assessment process.

whitepaper Containing an Outbreak: How to Clean Your Network After an Incident2009-07-02 Symantec
  It's not the sort of statement want to hear in regards to network. Whether a network admin plans a containment strategy or an executive assessing the damage done, one knows that such situations cost time and money to resolve. Determining where to start can be equally as frustrating, especially when eradicating a threat can sometimes feel like a carnival game of Whack-A-Mole. Not all threats behave the same and some even update themselves, changing their behavior partway through a disinfection procedure. To make matters more complicated, may hear references to "Viruses" or "Worms" and these will be used interchangeably with "Threats" The purpose of this paper is to describe the principles behind these best practices with as little technical and Internet Security industry terminology as possible.
