whitepaper Addressing IT Risks of Software Applications: A Risk Management Strategy26/03/08 Symantec
  As companies increasingly depend on software applications to enhance operations, the business impact of a broad range of IT risks concurrently rises. This whitepaper describes an IT risk management strategy for applications. Key aspects of this strategy include developing an awareness of various types of IT risks related to applications, quantifying the potential business impacts of application-related IT risks, and building an institutional capability to manage this IT risk. The paper then outlines how Symantec’s advisory consultants support organizations to address their IT risk management needs for applications.  sponsored by
whitepaper The Importance of Application Security26/03/08 Symantec
  Application security has been a growing discipline in the IT world for about a decade. Not long ago, knowledge about securing applications came from a select few independent researchers, and resources for implementation were scarce. Through the years, more and more resources have become available as security expertise and toolsets have found their way to a wider population of technologists. Over the past five years, general knowledge of application security criteria has widened, making it rare that applications developers do not consider basic security aspects such as authentication and access control, among others.  sponsored by
whitepaper A New Approach to Defeating Spam2008-03-01
  Junk postal mail is a nuisance for those who receive it, but it is limited by two important economic factors: Junk mail costs something to produce and, as a result, senders of junk mail must achieve acceptable content-to-customer conversion rates in order to make the sending of their information economically worthwhile. This white paper discusses the scope of the spam problem, some of the techniques that spammers use to defeat conventional anti-spam technologies, and the innovative approach that Abaca has developed to filter over 99.997% of spam.

whitepaper The Case and Criteria for Combining Application Acceleration and Security2008-02-01 Blue Coat Systems
  At first glance, it may seem that the network engineer and the security architect have little in common. However, as more rich internet applications migrate to the enterprise, more load is placed on the network and more collaborative power is given to the user - exposing the network infrastructure to additional risk. To remain competitive, the entire IT organization must find ways of optimizing the network for both application performance and improved security. This is particularly true for a highly distributed user community where multiple points of access mean that network reliability and security cannot be guaranteed.

Download this whitepaper to get expert tips and advice on efficiently and effectively enhancing both application performance and network security.

whitepaper Tolly Group Report: McAfee, Inc.2008-02-01 McAfee
  Deploying solutions to protect users from spam, viruses and other attacks often is a resource-intensive exercise and a costly one to deploy and maintain - especially if dedicated security management servers are required. Desktop and server security for small-to medium-businesses can be simplified by adopting a service-oriented approach as an alternative to hosting the security solution.

In December 2007, The Tolly Group conducted a hands-on evaluation of the effectiveness of McAfee Total Protection Service compared to Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition 11.0 and Trend Micro Client Server Messaging Security for SMB Ver 7.6. Download this report to learn how McAfee Total Protection Service provides lower total cost of ownership; increases reliability and availability by alleviating the need for in-house IT infrastructure and resources; eases client deployment via a simple URL; and offers greater flexibility to company's growth.

whitepaper Sub-Operating Systems: A New Approach to Application Security2008-01-01 University of Pennsylvania
  Users regularly exchange apparently innocuous data files using email and ftp. While the users view these data as passive, there are situations when they are interpreted as code by some system application. In that case the data become "Active". Some examples of such data are Java, JavaScript and Microsoft Word attachments, each of which are executed within the security context of the user, allowing potentially arbitrary machine access. The structure of current operating systems and user applications makes solving this problem challenging. The paper proposes a new protection mechanism to address active content, which applies fine-grained access controls at the level of individual data objects. All data objects arriving from remote sources are tagged with a non-removable identifier.
