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 Webcast: How to Mitigate Outsourcing-Related Security Risks2007-02-26 15:19:37 Core Security
  Outsourcing is growing in popularity due to the efficiencies and cost savings that many businesses achieve through the practice. What's often overlooked, however, is the fact that any outsourcing arrangement carries with it a separate set of security risks that must be properly managed, in addition to managing the security of internal networks. Without this holistic approach, an organization's overall security posture is at risk.

Check out this TechRepublic Webcast, sponsored by Core Security and now available on demand. It features independent cybersecurity analyst Tom Kellermann, who discusses the practice of outsourcing and its ramifications for network security. Kellermann offers expert insights into these important topics and more:
  • The interconnectedness of modern business networks and how it forces companies to bear common risks to critical infrastructures.
  • How the risks inherent in outsourcing expose your company to cyber-crime.
  • Why hosting companies and data service providers have become the targets of hacker syndicates.
  • How to create a comprehensive security strategy that combats the unique set of threats associated with outsourcing.
Hosted by James Hilliard, Moderator for TechRepublic, this Webcast underscores the special security issues that must be properly managed whenever outside vendors require access to your sensitive corporate data.
