whitepaper Telecom Italia Sparkle and Cisco Systems Join Forces to Build S@FE2006-06-07 01:00:26 Cisco Systems
  Telecom Italia Sparkle (TI Sparkle), a wholly owned subsidiary of Telecom Italia SpA, was established in 2003 with the objective of developing and consolidating the Italian Group's international wholesale and retail business. Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have now evolved from random hacker exploits to coordinated operations by criminal organizations to blackmail and extort money from corporate victims. DDoS attacks are the second-most costly security incident overall for organizations. TI Sparkle and Cisco Systems, Inc. rolled-out S@FE, a network-based solution for international wholesale customers of the TI Sparkle IP backbone (SEABONE). S@fe is designed to provide more effective protection against DoS and DDoS attacks.   
whitepaper FTP Attack Case Study Part I: The Analysis2005-02-15 10:15:46 Infosecwriters.com
  Example.com - a medium-sized computer hardware online retailer - understands the value of network and host security, since its business depends upon reliable and secure online transactions. Its internal network and DMZ setup was designed with security in mind, verified by outside experts, protected by latest in security technology and monitored using advanced audit trail aggregation tools. Following the philosophy of defense-in depth, two different firewalls and two different intrusion detection systems were used. The DMZ setup was of the bastion network type with one firewall separating the DMZ from the hostile Internet and another protecting internal networks from DMZ and Internet attacks. Two network IDS were sniffing the DMZ traffic.   
whitepaper Geographic Surveillance and Hotspot Detection for Homeland Security: Cyber Security and Computer Network Diagnostics2005-02-15 09:48:33 The Pennsylvania State University
  Securing the nation's computer networks from cyber attack is an important aspect of Homeland Security. Project develops diagnostic tools for detecting security attacks, infrastructure failures, and other operational aberrations of computer networks. They have developed models for studying the equilibrium behavior of multidimensional loss systems. The probabilistic finite state automaton (PFSA) describing a network element can be obtained from the output of these state models. A time-dependent crisis-index is determined for each network element, which measures their normal behavior pattern compared to crisis behavior.

whitepaper Thales e-Security Case Study: A US Government Agency, Washington, DC2005-01-25 02:51:45 Thales e-Security
  Since September 11, a renewed effort has been placed on identifying Sensitive-But-Unclassified (SBU) information and securing the communications channels/networks it traverses. Affording the same high grade solutions to this category of information proves to be impractical, from a cost and logistical perspective. Finding cost-effective and trusted ways of addressing this requirement has been a challenge. Moving forward in its procurement strategy to address this challenge the key Department of Defense Information Technology Agency in Washington, DC looked toward Thales e-Security to provide them with certified encryption solutions to secure SBU networks processing high bandwidth multimedia information requiring Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) encryption technology.   
whitepaper Homeland Security: Response - Tabletop Exercises2005-01-12 03:52:18 EPA - US Environmental Protection Agency
  After September 11, many colleges and universities realized that their emergency response plans needed either to be updated or expanded. Berklee College of Music, in downtown Boston, recognized these needs, and formed a Crisis Management Team involving the highest officials at the College. Concurrently, they revised a list of hazards that may affect the College. To assess how their planning activities were progressing and how effective they would be, the Committee went forward to organize and conduct several tabletop exercises. In cooperation with the Orono Fire Department (HAZMAT), Penobscot Emergency Management, Maine Emergency Management Agency, University of Maine System, Department of Homeland Security Office of Domestic Preparedness (ODP), and numerous other groups, a multi-county/multi-agency tabletop exercise was conducted at the University of Maine.   
whitepaper Getting the Message Out in an Emergency: The Harvard University Emergency Notification System2005-01-12 03:54:13 EPA - US Environmental Protection Agency
  On 9/11, cell phones and other communication systems were greatly impaired in New York City. Telephones systems were overloaded and it was virtually impossible to effectively exchange information with or among employees and emergency responders. At Harvard University, senior management recognized the need for stronger emergency communications systems at the University. To mitigate these concerns, Harvard University evaluated commercially available software packages for automated notification of emergency personnel. System requirements included the ability to quickly contact internal emergency teams, while minimizing the time spent on the phone by call center personnel.

Using existing development tools and building blocks from Teja Technologies (an Intel Capital Fund Company based in San Jose, California), Network Associates Laboratories raced from design concept to functional models - all in a matter of weeks. This case study explains how building blocks from Intel and Teja provided the advanced, highly versatile platform that is enabling Network Associates Laboratories to develop a real-world defense against DDoS flooding in record time.   
whitepaper Quality Control: Shainin LLC Cuts Costs and Improves Reliability by Consolidating Six Windows Servers Onto an IBM @Server xSeries Server2005-08-02 03:00:01
  Based in Anacortes, Washington, Shainin LLC helps manufacturers improve quality and efficiency. When a hacker penetrated Shainin's systems, the company had to shut down a server that provides e-mail, calendar and contact management functions. Because management could not access employees' calendars, they phoned consultants, one after another, until they found someone who could look after the client. Only after Shainin flew a consultant in from the mid-west did it discover that an East coast-based employee was available. Shainin contacted Sytek Services, who showed the company how it could easily migrate to Linux with an xSeries server running ESX Server software from VMware, Inc.
