Best Practices in Using Reputation-Based Anti-Spam Services for Email Security
See also
Publisher's description
One of the most efficient, least costly and, remarkably, most effective anti-spam techniques is IP reputation filtering. An incredibly inexpensive technique for the anti-spam gateway, IP reputation filtering can be used to identify 80 percent (or more) of spam without even looking at message content. IP reputation services have become a best practice for any anti-spam gateway. This white paper discusses the origins of IP reputation services; test results on Cisco IronPort's own reputation service, SenderBase; best practices in using reputation services; and the ROI of reputation services.

Understanding Windows Mobile Security
One topic the user really needs to understand when deploying Windows Mobile applications is security. Often, developers spend a lot of time developing and testing their applications on emulators.

The Alabama Medicaid Agency was handling identity credential management in a decentralized, manual way. It was taking two IT staff members two hours a day to provision and deprovision users, with the possibility that systems might host outdated, erroneous, or inconsistent identity information. As part of a broader technology upgrade, the agency adopted Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager 2007, and expects to cut the time spent on identity management by 75 percent. With this solution, the agency also has increased the consistency of identity information across systems, boosted the security of its data and its compliance with privacy regulations such as HIPAA, and provided a flexible foundation for the continued growth of the identity management system to encompass more agencies in state government.

Trinity University is one of the top private undergraduate institutions in the United States, ranking first among western U.S. universities by U.S. News & World Report for 15 consecutive years. As with any large computing environment, protecting users and the Trinity University network from viruses and malware is a constant challenge. Unlike a private enterprise, however, the university's IT staff must try to secure an environment in which thousands of new users appear each year, bring their own laptops from home, and require unfettered access to the Internet. To address the problem, the university deployed a NAC solution in 2005 aimed at helping ensure that all users complied with security policies, such as having up-to-date antivirus and operating system software.

Public sector and federal government agencies are looking for better vehicles to tame IT budgets, and at the same time provide agile IT services to organizations, citizens and constituents. The paradigm of cloud computing, which has been recently introduced and developed, offers means for public managers and government executives to address issues of budget constraints and agility of service. Simultaneously, new cloud computing-based business models and vehicles are being debated, defined, and implemented in the industry. If adopted and implemented, these business models would require not only new architectures, but also new ways to acquire and procure IT services. These requirements imply that governments need to carefully evaluate how to adopt cloud computing.
