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 Closing the Legacy Gap: Protecting Legacy Systems With FDE2007-08-10 SECUDE International
  Protecting data is not only financially wise; it is often legally necessary. More companies are now implementing Full Disk Encryption (FDE) as part of a comprehensive data security program. Up until now, FDE was software-based with all the encryption algorithms processed by the computer's CPU. But with the introduction of hard disk drives with a dedicated encryption chip, FDE has become amazingly efficient and more secure. However, as with the advent of any new technology, there is a costly legacy gap which companies must cross in order to migrate from software-to hardware-based FDE while still protecting existing computer systems.

whitepaper Mobile Malware: Threats and Prevention2007-08-07 McAfee
  Carrying a "smart" mobile phone is almost like having a powerful computer in pocket. An increasing number of phones sold today - especially in Europe - include not only a camera but also extensive online access, keyboards, and other typical computer functions. In this paper, the author discuss vulnerabilities in smart phones based on Windows Mobile. Most of these vulnerabilities are also found on the Windows Mobile PDAs. Because the Symbian OS is similar in many ways to Windows Mobile, Symbian phones may also suffer from these problems.

whitepaper Application Architecture Essentials, Part 7: Application Architecture Security - Use Strategic Thinking to Ensure Your Organization's Security2007-06-12 IBM
  To survive at the architecture level, the IT specialists who flourish are those who think in terms of strategy, systems, policy, and procedures. Move beyond programming, and learn new ways to approach security from a higher, application architecture level. Stay ahead of security breaches and help ensure the enterprise is highly secure. Most discussions of software security concentrate on the applications themselves or the data they contain. For example, a lot of time is spent talking about validating GET and POST variables that users submit before that information is sent to a database. Similarly, there's been a lot of ink spilled on the various encryption systems available.

whitepaper 2007 Microsoft Office System Document Encryption2007-06-01 Microsoft
  The Microsoft 2007 Office system introduces a number of new security improvements aimed at protecting private data. One of the most effective ways to protect data is by using Microsoft 2007 Office system document encryption. Microsoft 2007 Office system document encryption is greatly improved over encryption methods used for previous versions of Microsoft Office and introduces industry-standard AES encryption support. Using Microsoft 2007 Office system document encryption, one can prevent users without the encryption password from opening Microsoft Office Word 2007 documents, Excel 2007 workbooks and PowerPoint 2007 presentations. Microsoft 2007 Office system document encryption should be used as part of a secure defense in depth strategy for protecting private information stored in Office documents.

whitepaper Enterprise Security and Management for Windows: An Overview of Microsoft Forefront and Microsoft System Center2007-04-01 Microsoft
  Systems management and systems security are both important areas. In the Microsoft world, each is addressed by a distinct technology family: System Center for management, Forefront for security. Yet it's also true that these two areas are unavoidably connected with one another. As the scenarios just described illustrate, solving real problems commonly requires addressing both topics. Going forward, Microsoft has indicated its intent to make the connection between these two technology families tighter still. Using a single agent for both System Center Operations Manager and Forefront Client Security would make sense, for example, as would providing the ability to use a shared administrator dashboard across products in both families.
