whitepaper A Sure Bet: Implementing High Availability Internet2006-08-11 01:00:09 Systems Support
  This paper explains how Aspen RAIL controllers enable enterprises to leverage 2, 3 or more redundant ISP links - the benefits being high application availability, internet supplier diversity, and smart internet traffic management yielding better performance, lower risk and lower cost. By being multiple-ISP-aware, the Aspen RAIL controller can mitigate against Internet DOS and DDOS attacks by moving traffic to alternate ISP links. The Aspen RAIL controller was designed to seamlessly fit in complex enterprise networks without reconfiguring existing topologies, 3rd party equipment or software. Installation is risk-free.   
whitepaper The Pathogenesis Of Dark Traffic2005-09-27 06:46:55
  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   
whitepaper Virus Prevention and Recovery: A TechRepublic Real World Guide2005-12-19 15:20:44
  This TechRepublic Real World Guide offers a wealth of information to help with all your antivirus efforts. It explains why today's IT organizations need a written virus protection policy and includes a policy template that you can customize for use in your own company. Learn how to prevent, stop, and clean up after a virus infection, and find out how antivirus software itself can impact your organization's disaster recovery strategy. The guide also offers two handy checklists: one for handling active e-mail virus attacks and one for preventing future infections.

whitepaper Distributed Denial of Service Threats: Risks, Mitigation, and Best Practices2005-11-03 01:00:03 Cisco Systems
  This white paper describes the value of the Cisco Guard solution for DDoS mitigation. It begins by explaining the risks of DDoS attacks and the unique demands of DDoS mitigation. Next, it describes how the Cisco Guard solution works. The paper concludes with deployment considerations, including operational planning and whether an in-house deployment or managed service is better for a given organization.   
whitepaper Preventing Distributed Denial of Service Attacks With Cisco Self-Defending Networks2005-11-03 01:00:03 Cisco Systems
  The increase in Internet-based transactions and communications offers new opportunities for hackers to disrupt business operations with DDoS attacks. Organizations that are not adequately protected risk losing customers, revenue, and their good reputations. This white paper discusses the challenges of identifying, countering, and avoiding crippling DDoS attacks. With the comprehensive Cisco Self-Defending Network, organizations can deploy layers of defense to detect and mitigate the effects of DDoS attacks.   
whitepaper Security Expansion Layers Beyond the Firewall2005-10-20 09:32:04
  Your network security can be expanded well beyond your connection to the Internet. Three additional security perimeters now can be leveraged in your security model. Throughout this document, we'll be reviewing the effects on traffic flow and the security benefits. Some major benefits of combining the new perimeters in your infrastructure are, increased defense against nearly any scale Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) assault; transparently enhancing the serving capacity of your site; making your systems invisible to the general Internet; patch and upgrade your systems on your schedule, not the schedule of the latest vulnerability. This paper provides some major benefits of combining the new perimeters in your customer's infrastructure.   
whitepaper Denial of Safety Critical Services of a Public Mobile Network for a Critical Transport Infrastructure2005-11-10 01:00:02
  The paper focuses on a PMN that supports both Global System Mobile (GSM) and General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) connections, for voice and data transmissions between instrumented vehicles and TCC. Particularly, it presents PMN models, based on Stochastic Activity Networks formalism, to compute denial of service measures of voice and data connections, in the framework of validation by modelling of the related TCS. Denial of service models are composed models, each one joining two modular sub models, respectively representing PMN availability and performance aspects.   
whitepaper Cisco Distributed Denial of Service Protection Solution: Leading DDoS Protection for Service Providers and Their Customers2005-11-03 01:00:03 Cisco Systems
  Today, service providers and their customers are exposed to a growing number of distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, which can damage revenues and reputations. Therefore, service providers' offerings must include advanced security solutions. This paper explains the Cisco DDoS Protection solution, part of the IP Next Generation Network (NGN) from Cisco Systems. The Cisco DDoS Protection solution helps enable service providers to sell customers "clean pipes" connectivity services while at the same time hardening and protecting their own infrastructure to ensure resilient service delivery.   
whitepaper Intrusion Prevention: A Proactive Approach to Network Security2006-01-17 08:26:35
  With the growing implementation of Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) technology, which is designed to proactively detect and block malicious traffic before it can reach the network, it is increasingly important for enterprises to make sure they correctly design, deploy, and maintain this solution or risk blocking mission-critical traffic. This white paper describes considerations for implementing a successful IPS solution, which will actually remove these concerns that can potentially eat up valuable resources and, more importantly, your profits.   
whitepaper Managed Security Services - Partnering for Network Security2005-11-03 01:00:03
  The threats to network security and the vulnerabilities to attack, as well as the skills and sophistication of the attackers, are constantly evolving. As companies deploy more complex e-business models, expand their mission-critical networks with new intranet, extranet, and e-commerce applications, and support a growing mobile workforce, network security technologies are increasingly vital in preventing intrusion and theft of company data assets, and in eliminating network security vulnerabilities. With the heightened importance of network security, companies are looking to service providers for easy and reliable access to advanced security services and expertise, and to offload management functions so that they may focus on their core competencies.
