whitepaper Emerging Trends in Fighting Spam26/03/08 Symantec
  Spam has been a serious problem for email administrators and users alike for more than five years, growing from one in six emails in 2002 to approximately three out of four emails today. In fact, after five years of dealing with spam and throwing significant resources at the problem, 54% of messaging decision-makers in mid-sized and large organizations still view spam as a serious or very serious problem according to a recent Osterman Research survey.  sponsored by

whitepaper Stopping Zombies, Botnets, and Other Email-borne Threats2007-01-31 13:56:27 Sophos
  Hijacked computers, or zombies, hide inside networks where they send spam, steal company secrets, and enable other serious crimes. This paper discusses how the threat has evolved, explains how zombie networks, or botnets, are created and highlights how even organizations with reliable gateway and endpoint protection are vulnerable.

whitepaper Malicious Yahooligans2006-12-16 01:00:21 Symantec
  JS.Yamanner@m was not only the first webmail worm, but it demonstrated how web applications are equally susceptible to vulnerabilities. More so, JS.Yamanner@m demonstrates the impact of AJAX and how AJAX can be harnessed to develop more efficient web application worms. While similar worms will also generally require a vulnerability in the web application, web application vulnerabilities are not rare. Fortunately, as soon as the vulnerability is patched, the worm stops spreading.   
whitepaper Taking Control of Network Access2006-12-16 01:00:21 Symantec
  Changing work environments have brought about an immediate need for Network Access Control (NAC). While the ability to work remotely, make wireless connections, and bring laptops home to get extra work done is a boon to productivity, and perhaps a necessity during times of disasters or other incidents, one needs to stay on top of who's entering the network and with what device. The key is to stop insecure and possibly corrupted computers BEFORE they get permission to connect to the network. A good NAC solution will ensure that only compliant and secure devices can connect to the network, while any non-compliant devices will be blocked and remediated (if possible) before access is granted.   
whitepaper Cutting the cost and complexity of managing endpoint security2007-03-23 07:47:52 Sophos
  Managing the desktops, laptops and servers at the endpoints of corporate networks is an increasingly complex, time-consuming and expensive task. This paper examines the issues of managing security across the network, discusses the key criteria involved in choosing a solution, and describes Sophos Endpoint Security.

whitepaper Re-Establishing Trust in Compromised Systems: Recovering From Rootkits That Trojan the System Call Table2006-06-21 01:00:38 Georgia Institute of Technology
  This paper introduces the notion of re-establishing trust in compromised systems, specifically looking at recovering from kernel-level rootkits. An attacker that has compromised a system will often install a set of tools, known as a rootkit, which will break trust in the system as well as serve the attacker with other functionalities. One type of rootkit is a kernel-level rootkit, which will patch running kernel code with untrusted kernel code. Specifically, current kernel-level rootkits replace trusted system calls with trojaned system calls. The approach to recover from these types of rootkits is to extract the system call table from a known-good kernel image and reinstall the system call table into the running kernel.   
whitepaper Modeling Malware Propagation in Gnutella Type Peer-to-Peer Networks2006-06-21 01:00:38 Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
  A key emerging and popular communication paradigm, primarily employed for information dissemination, is Peer-To-Peer (P2P) networking. This paper models the spread of malware in decentralized, Gnutella type of peer-to-peer networks. The study reveals that the existing bound on the spectral radius governing the possibility of an epidemic outbreak needs to be revised in the context of a P2P network. The authors formulate an analytical model that emulates the mechanics of a decentralized Gnutella type of peer network and study the spread of malware on such networks.   
whitepaper WindowBox: A Simple Security Model for the Connected Desktop2006-06-21 01:00:38 Microsoft
  Breaches in computer security do not just exploit bugs in applications; they are often also the result of mismanaged protection mechanisms. The tools available to protect sensitive resources and networks are tedious to use, non-intuitive, and often require expert knowledge. As a result, many PC and workstation users end up administering their system security poorly, creating serious security vulnerabilities. This paper presents a new security model, WindowBox, which presents the user with a model in which the workstation is divided into multiple desktops. Each desktop is sealed off from the others, giving users a means to confine the possibly dangerous results of their actions.
