whitepaper Stopping Zombies, Botnets, and Other Email-borne Threats2006-12-01 Sophos
  Hijacked computers, or zombies, hide inside networks where they send spam, steal company secrets, and enable other serious crimes. This paper discusses how the threat has evolved, explains how zombie networks, or botnets, are created and highlights how even organizations with reliable gateway and endpoint protection are vulnerable.   
whitepaper The SMART Way to Secure Messaging for Microsoft Exchange Environments2006-09-25 16:48:58 Sunbelt Software
  This Sunbelt Software white paper highlights the many challenges associated with defending Microsoft Exchange 2000/2003 environments against viruses, spyware, spam, phishing e-mails, and other threats. It introduces the award-winning Sunbelt Messaging Ninja™ and its Suspicious Mail Attachment Removal Technology™ (SMART), which provides policy-based filtering that can outsmart even the most sophisticated attackers. Download the paper to learn more about Ninja, the third-generation, all-in-one messaging security solution that offers enterprise-grade protection at a price point small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) can afford.

  
whitepaper Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Mitigation Services Based on Cisco Systems Clean Pipes - Protection, Profits, and Productivity2006-10-06 01:00:15 Cisco Systems
  Successful Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks resulted in reported losses in the millions of dollars in 2005 alone. A number of service providers have reacted to the needs of their customers and currently offer automated, network-based, DDoS services that employ Cisco Systems Clean Pipes solution. These services have proven to be profitable almost from their inception. However, service providers have also realized a number of supplemental gains in operational savings, bandwidth conservation, and service differentiation that have transformed DDoS mitigation services from tangential to strategic. This paper, based on interviews with a number of services providers now offering DDoS services based on the Clean Pipes solution, describes not only their service successes, but also the ways they utilize Clean Pipes.   
whitepaper CARE: Enhancing Denial-of-Service Resilience in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks2006-07-28 Virginia Tech
  This paper proposes an attack-resilient routing architecture, called Cross-layer Active RE-routing (CARE), for Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs). Different from existing solutions, CARE does not focus on a particular type of attack, but instead takes a fundamentally general approach - it achieves resilience against a wide range of routing disruption Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks by treating them and "Dysfunctional" network events in the same way. Here, dysfunctional network events denote link and routing failures caused by link contention or node mobility. CARE is a cross-layer scheme that detects attacks at the transport layer but responds to them at the network layer.

whitepaper The Pathogenesis Of Dark Traffic2006-07-10 02:15:14 Hotwire
  The aim of the paper is to educate IT directors and managers on the nature of Denial of Service (DoS) and Directory Harvesting Attacks (DHA), which compose the Dark Traffic email threat faced by businesses. The paper also looks at what solutions are available to these increasingly significant threats.   
whitepaper SWAN: A Secure Wireless LAN Architecture2006-06-29 02:19:12 University at Buffalo
  Existing Wireless LAN (WLAN) security schemes are few and product specific. While there exist some schemes for Information Integrity related problems, there are few standard solutions for Quality of Service and Network Health Maintenance related problems in Wireless Networks. This paper proposes an architecture model for Secure WLANs that is generic in its design, so that it can easily be incorporated into existing systems at low cost, thus making it feasible and easy to implement. The Secure Wireless LAN (SWAN) Architecture first describes an Admission Control Mechanism and deals with Intrusion Detection, Malicious Behavior Detection, and Maintaining Quality of Service and Network Health.   
whitepaper Internet Storm Center: Threat Update + Defending Against DoS Attacks2006-06-16 01:00:27 SANS Institute
  This webcast will cover one critical vulnerability in Microsoft Exchange, as well at least one critical vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. In addition, the webcast will discuss methods to prepare for and fight denial of service attacks. All agree that the critical assets of the enterprise (data and applications) are resident on hosts inside the intranet and not at the perimeter. Best practices dictate a defense in depth strategy. Logging in depth to the application level to a central location, is an essential component.   
whitepaper TechNet Webcast: Internet Datacenter Security - Level 2002006-06-09 01:00:26 Microsoft
  Through this webcast one can learn about from-the-trenches attacks & countermeasures. This webcast covers key threats, countermeasures, policies, procedures, politics, and principles to keep the business out of the security headlines. From spammers to Slammer, the webcast covers the most important aspects of "operational" security, including access control strategies, patching procedures, DDoS mitigation techniques, and aligning technology with policy.   
whitepaper Best of Breed vs. Suite Anti-spyware: What's Best for You?2006-07-31 16:33:45 Webroot Software
  This paper offers a compelling first-person account by noted security expert Ira Winkler of a penetration test he devised to demonstrate how hackers could theoretically compromise the highly sensitive Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems that secure nuclear reactors. Winkler, who is President of the Internet Security Advisors Group and has been called a "Modern Day James Bond" by the media, describes how his plan lured utility company employees to a Web site that downloaded spyware onto their systems—spyware that ultimately allowed Winkler's team to control the SCADA system and hence a nuclear reactor! Winker's paper points up the critical need for deploying anti-spyware software and builds a strong case for choosing a best of breed, or standalone, anti-spyware solution rather than a suite-based product.   
whitepaper Telecom Italia Sparkle and Cisco Systems Join Forces to Build S@FE2006-06-07 01:00:26 Cisco Systems
  Telecom Italia Sparkle (TI Sparkle), a wholly owned subsidiary of Telecom Italia SpA, was established in 2003 with the objective of developing and consolidating the Italian Group's international wholesale and retail business. Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have now evolved from random hacker exploits to coordinated operations by criminal organizations to blackmail and extort money from corporate victims. DDoS attacks are the second-most costly security incident overall for organizations. TI Sparkle and Cisco Systems, Inc. rolled-out S@FE, a network-based solution for international wholesale customers of the TI Sparkle IP backbone (SEABONE). S@fe is designed to provide more effective protection against DoS and DDoS attacks.
