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. However, applications that are working perfectly on emulators often break mysteriously on real devices. A large part of this can be attributed to the lack of understanding of the security policies implemented on Windows Mobile devices. In this paper, the user will learn about the security provisioning of Windows Mobile devices and how he or she can provision the own Windows Mobile device using the Device Security Manager (included with Visual Studio 2008).
-110 days ago by JupiterMediaOvum/Butler Group Technology Audit : e-DMZ Total Privileged Access Management Suite (TPAM)
e-DMZ Security's Total Privileged Access Management (TPAM) Suite combines four privileged access management solutions on a single platform, each addressing an aspect of the issues around privileged access management using shared credentials. Many infrastructure devices, and some applications, have built-in, inflexible account names and passwords to support in-depth management tasks, but when these cannot be managed satisfactorily from the perspectives of compliance and accountability organisations rightly have security, risk, and regulatory compliance concerns. TPAM Suite provides password storage and policy-limited release, and enforces password updates, all in a way that establishes an inarguable connection between an individual privileged user and a particular log-on event. It provides similar capabilities for application-to-application access request scenarios, and can also record (and later play back visually) all user sessions, and even restrict the commands executed on the target system. This is an impressive solution compared to others in its market space, especially as it provides a unified approach to the many aspects of requirements, and supports such a broad range of technologies that are likely to cause headaches in this regard. Any company that realises the need to enhance accountability when dealing with privileged account access, especially in industries affected by compliance challenges, would do well to evaluate TPAM Suite.

The definition of cloud computing depends largely on whether you are a consumer or producer. The public cloud is geared more for the individual consumer or small company, while the private cloud is geared more for a medium-to-large company.

Understanding business processes for the many departments within large organizations poses one of the largest challenges that information security professionals face when implementing a DLP solution. Most information security professionals know the primary business of their organization, but they may be unfamiliar with some of the details or lack specific information. Developing a comprehensive data security policy can be difficult in this situation. Asking the correct questions of your data owners will allow you to understand their business and the nature of their critical data so you can develop the necessary policies quickly.
In this live presentation we will discuss data classification and a series of questions that you can provide to data owners to help them help you develop good data loss prevention policies.

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.
