whitepaper From Viruses to Spyware: In the Malware Trenches with Small and Medium-size Businesses2007-01-03 14:38:18 Webroot Software
  Malware, which encompasses viruses, worms, spyware, and other malicious software, continues to be a significant problem for small- and mid-sized businesses (SMBs). According to an exclusive survey of IT decision-makers, the vast majority of businesses have experienced malware incidents in the past year that resulted in hours of downtime.

Defending against malware attacks is particularly difficult for SMBs, which may have needs as sophisticated as those of a large enterprise, but rarely have the same IT resources available. For malware defense software, SMBs place a premium on ease of integration and management. "From Viruses to Spyware: In the Malware Trenches with Small and Medium-size Businesses" is a white paper detailing the results of an exclusive survey sponsored by Webroot. You will learn hard data on:
  • The real costs of malware measured in downtime
  • The most common types of malware incidents
  • The latest trends in malware defense software
Malware is an inescapable part of today's business environment. Download this white paper to learn more about current trends in security for the SMB market. 		  
whitepaper Password Policy for Directories2007-01-01 Isode
  Authentication by use of a username & password is widely used, and efficiently managed organizations will normally apply a number of controls on passwords. These controls, collectively referred to as "Password policy" might include: passwords must be at least six characters long, passwords must be changed at least once every six months, users must change passwords after an administrator reset. In situations where applications share common username/password it is often desirable to manage them in a single location. This is convenient for the user and generally gives better security by keeping the authentication in one place.

whitepaper Using Automated, Detailed Configuration and Change Reporting to Achieve and Maintain PCI Compliance - Part 32006-12-14 Ecora Software
  All major bankcards - Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express - adopted a single, unified program as the standard for data security. The new standard, called the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard or PCI, is intended to protect cardholder data - wherever it resides or is transmitted - and requires that merchants and service providers that store, process, or transmit cardholder data meet specific security requirements. Ensuring compliance with the PCI standard is important to organizations for a number of reasons, particularly to protect brand reputation and to avoid fines and additional regulatory scrutiny.

whitepaper The Challenge of Securing Hard to Patch Servers in Health Care Environments2006-12-23 01:00:24 Blue Lane Technologies
  As the healthcare industry continues to benefit from increasing interconnectivity among disparate systems, such as patient record systems and medical devices, new risks will continue to emerge. Most significant among those risks are the proliferation of networked medical devices and the inability of administrators to quickly mitigate vulnerabilities. Patient privacy is at risk, healthcare provider reputation is at risk, and the fate of ongoing audits are at risk. In the face of this inability to patch quickly, most of the solutions on the market are poorly suited to mitigate the vulnerabilities and provide an adequate compensating control, without compromising system availability, flooding administrators with noisy false-positive alerts, or requiring significant and ongoing tuning. PatchPoint is uniquely suited to address this problem.
