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 Meeting DO-178B Software Verification Guidelines With Coverity Integrity Center2009-05-01 Coverity
  Development organizations that create safety-critical airborne software systems must have the systems approved for use by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The FAA recognizes DO-178B as an acceptable means of compliance for securing the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) approval of software in airborne systems and equipment. Created by RTCA, Inc., this standard provides guidelines for determining that the software aspects of airborne systems and equipment comply with airworthiness requirements. Many of the guidelines in the Software Verification and Software Lifecycle Data section of this standard can be supported with the use of the Coverity Integrity Center, a software analysis solution used to find critical defects throughout the software development life cycle. This paper discusses how the Coverity Integrity Center can help with specific software verification guidelines as outlined in DO-178B.

whitepaper Anchiva Hardware Scanning Engine2009-03-22 Anchiva Systems
  Traditional hardware acceleration technology in security appliances such as firewalls is focused mainly at accelerating packet processing at the network layer. This technology is useful in preventing network breakins when hackers aim their attacks at the network layer (TCP/IP), but is inadequate to detect or prevent today's attacks such as the spread of malware, which are embedded deep in the data content at the application layer. In comparison to firewalls, to prevent today's internet based threats Anchiva's innovative RapidRx ASIC focuses on accelerating content inspection at the application layer without affecting the performance of real time web based applications.

whitepaper Symark PowerBroker: Root Access Risk Control for the Enterprise2009-02-20 Symark Software
  Compliance efforts and security concerns have driven businesses to make substantial investments in threat control. Too often, however, these efforts pay far too little heed to the risks posed by poorly controlled access to administrative privilege in IT, which can have a hugely disproportionate impact on the business. Without putting more effective controls on high-privilege access such as Unix or Linux root account, enterprises not only expose the most business-critical IT assets to the most fundamental level of risk, they also expose trustworthy administrators to the consequences of privilege abuse by others. In this paper, EMA analysts examine Symark PowerBroker, a solution designed to close these gaps for the enterprise with provable control.

whitepaper The Total Cost of Email: Putting a Price Tag on Your Email Environment2009-02-17 Mimecast
  You can't afford to ignore email archiving, security, internal policy or regulatory requirements, but can you afford to keep paying for it as multiple systems on top of your email system? This whitepaper explores how, when you add up the full price tag for your email environment, from server to software to risk management and staff costs, it becomes clear why running everything in-house can mean you spend far more of your budget on maintenance than innovation.

whitepaper Patch Management 2.0: Evolving Your Patch Management Technology to Proactively Combat Security Challenges2008-04-16
  The realities of security and compliance have changed considerably since patch management faced its first big paradigm shift some years ago. At that time many organizations wrestled with the transition from manual patching and remediation to an automated process. Of course, nothing in security is ever static, so it is no surprise that patch management has continued to evolve since then. Though still automated, today's best patch management tools and techniques are significantly different from their predecessors.

This whitepaper explains how to remain on top of increasing security attacks and:
  • Provides an historical perspective on the changing patch landscape
  • Explains the importance for organizations to evolve their patch management technology
  • Describes how Lumension Vulnerability Management Solution extends patch automation to every element of the IT infrastructure
