The Importance of Application Security | 26/03/08 | 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![]() |

How to share sensitive documents and maintain control over them | 2009-09-02 | Confidela |
| Businesses need to share important or sensitive documents on a daily basis, whether it's quotes or RFP responses sent to customers, intellectual property or specs shared with contractors, or financial information shared in the context of an M&A transaction (e.g. Deal Room). But once recipients receive the documents, you lose all control and those recipients can copy, print or forward them without your knowledge. Technologies such as enterprise DRM and email encryption are too cumbersome, expensive and not appropriate for external sharing of information. This paper discusses how you can mitigate these risks simply and effectively.
