| 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![]() |

IronPort Helps a Nationwide Carrier Stop Wireless Threats | 2007-09-18 | Cisco Systems |
| Wireless communications continues to grow and evolve in a dynamic fashion. One particular area of emerging technology is wireless messaging. With large numbers of subscribers, wireless operators continue to look for ways to increase Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) with advanced features such as Short Message Service (SMS) and Multi Media Messaging (MMS). Since SMS leverages the same infrastructure as wireless voice calls, the effect of spam is substantially more severe. Before choosing IronPort a major wireless provider had been fighting spam using open source anti-spam solutions - running on an open source Mail Transfer Agent (MTA). IronPort delivered a solution that eliminated in excess of 95 percent of spam and increased throughput and availability.
