Austrian Securities Agency Enhances IT Security With New Operating System 2008-05-08 Microsoft

As Austria's official Export Credit Agency (ECA), Oesterreichische Kontrollbank AG (OeKB) represents the government, handling volumes of sensitive financial information on a daily basis. OeKB's systems ran on the Windows 2000 operating system. However, while updates for Windows 2000 may still be available, the life cycle of the operating system is approaching its end. To be able to continue to offer its customers and business partners the best security standards, OeKB decided to upgrade to the Windows Vista operating system and the 2007 Microsoft Office system. With the assistance of Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Hewlett-Packard Ges.m.b.H., OeKB updated its operating systems to Windows Vista in less than four months.

TechNet Webcast: New Tools to Streamline Your Windows Server 2008 Imaging and Deployment Processes (Level 200) 2008-05-03 Microsoft Tips

This webcast is divided into three agenda items. First, the presenter shows the new features of Windows Server 2008 that are present when deploying the operating system. Windows Server 2008, like Windows Vista, was built from the ground up with deployment in mind. Then the presenter looks at more complex deployment strategies that involve additional deployment tools, such as the Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager Operating System Deployment (OSD) feature pack. Under the third agenda item, the presenter talks about deployment best practices. The new deployment features are designed around a set of best practices included in the Windows Server Deployment (WSD) solution accelerator.

Intel Tools for Thread-Oriented Development on Linux 2008-05-02 Intel

During the early years of Linux, when it was gaining traction through the work of evangelists, the operating system did not offer significant functionality in support of threading. In part, this was due to a unique threading model initially supported by Linus Torvalds, the driving force behind the Linux project. As the need for a more-standardized threading model emerged, Torvalds accepted a new model that more closely resembled commercial server operating systems such as UNIX. During the last few years, Torvalds and the keepers of the Linux flame have added significant improvements to these threading operations. One of these was the adoption of the Pthreads API.

Web Application Security: Too costly to ignore 2008-05-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)

Web application security is crucial to mitigating the risks of attack and attaining regulatory compliance. The number of web attacks is on the rise and is exponentially more cost effective to remedy those flaws early in the development process. There is an enormous chasm between where application security should be and the sad shape of application security today. Download this free whitepaper from HP Software to learn about the gaps in most application security programs and how to incorporate application security across the lifecycle.
