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 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.
