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 Reaping the Benefits of Hosted Email Security2008-03-11 Proofpoint
  Until recently, choosing the convenience of a hosted email security solution meant making significant compromises versus the power and flexibility of on-premise, appliance-based solutions.
