whitepaper Webcast: How to Mitigate Outsourcing-Related Security Risks2007-02-28 10:40:38 Core Security
  Outsourcing is growing in popularity due to the efficiencies and cost savings that many businesses achieve through the practice. What's often overlooked, however, is the fact that any outsourcing arrangement carries with it a separate set of security risks that must be properly managed, in addition to managing the security of internal networks. Without this holistic approach, an organization's overall security posture is at risk.

Check out this TechRepublic Webcast, sponsored by Core Security and now available on demand. It features independent cybersecurity analyst Tom Kellermann, who discusses the practice of outsourcing and its ramifications for network security. Kellermann offers expert insights into these important topics and more:
  • The interconnectedness of modern business networks and how it forces companies to bear common risks to critical infrastructures.
  • How the risks inherent in outsourcing expose your company to cyber-crime.
  • Why hosting companies and data service providers have become the targets of hacker syndicates.
  • How to create a comprehensive security strategy that combats the unique set of threats associated with outsourcing.
Hosted by James Hilliard, Moderator for TechRepublic, this Webcast underscores the special security issues that must be properly managed whenever outside vendors require access to your sensitive corporate data.

whitepaper Building on SOA for Greater Business Value2006-12-13 01:00:24 IBM
  Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a business-driven IT architectural approach that supports integrating the business as linked, repeatable business tasks, or services. As more and more companies enjoy the benefits of their initial SOA projects, many want to expand on these early successes for greater business value. They began their SOA journeys by implementing focused, well-defined SOA starter projects. Now, these leading organizations are combining elements of several of these projects together to address industry-specific challenges through Business Process Management (BPM) and prebuilt business services to enable rapid deployment and value. To support these expanded projects, these companies are taking a more structured and programmatic approach to their infrastructure and management practices.

whitepaper Schering-Plough Moves to Paperless Calibration2006-09-01 01:00:13 Prime Technologies
  FDA's compliance imperatives and guidelines for calibration set by ISPE in the GAMP Good Practice Guide for Calibration Management demand that pharmaceutical manufacturers establish robust calibration systems. Schering-Plough (Kenilworth, N.J.) installed a paperless calibration system at a number of its manufacturing facilities. The system, Prime Technologies' (West Chester, Pa.) ProCalV5, is designed to stop the avalanche of paper that results from documenting the calibration of instrumentation, devices and equipment, as part of cGMP compliance requirements. The ProCalV5 has been designed so that technicians are always presented with the correct device calibration specifications and SOPs.

This is exactly what Eastman Chemical's Calibration was looking for.   
whitepaper Workplace Safety Compliance: The New Approach2006-09-01 01:00:13 MetricStream
  Workplace Safety is emerging as one of the key risk management and regulatory compliance focus areas among many global companies. As a result of this trend, traditional workplace safety compliance systems, which were designed to be point solutions at a plant-level, are giving way to enterprise-wide safety management systems. Such systems need to comply with the OSHA 29CFR regulations and support the OSHAS 18001 framework, while providing enterprise-wide visibility into incidents and trends, corrective actions and process metrics. This paper highlights the requirements of next generation systems for workplace safety compliance.
