	The New Encryption Generation: Closing the Gap Full disk encryption no longer makes sense. Learn about next–generation encryption and why your organization needs it. Concerned about the damage and liabilities of lost and stolen data, enterprises are turning to encryption as a backstop to prevent corporate and customer information from ending up in the wrong hands. Outdated, first–generation encryption technologies, however, often deliver less than promised—either leaving critical gaps in security, preventing the legitimate recovery of data or, even worse, encouraging operational compromises that can be exploited. Organizations today need a more intelligent, multilayered approach to encryption that automatically safeguards data without complicating essential IT and user operations. This white paper examines the limitations of first–generation encryption processes that often deliver less–than–promised performance, spur user resistance, conflict with operational infrastructure and process requirements, and can even leave data stored in unencrypted locations where it is easily visible to unauthorized users. This white paper covers: Data in the Line of Fire Changing Needs of Security Management Data on the Move Endpoint Data Protection Prepared by IDG; Sponsored by CREDANT Technologies.
	The Hidden Dangers of Spam: How SMBs can confront security risks and restore productivity Beyond the well–understood productivity drain that spam inflicts on businesses, threats posed by illicit email circulating through a network are causing many security professionals to rethink protective measures. Spam is more than a nuisance—it is often a vehicle for hackers and fraudsters to bridge network defenses and release dangerous payloads inside the network. Enterprise–scale organizations often protect themselves against illicit email intrusions with elaborate gateways, using expensive and complex screening techniques. Small and mid–sized businesses (SMBs) however, sometimes leave themselves open to risks, largely because they lack the resources to implement countermeasures. Mail gateways scaled to the needs of smaller businesses offer a means to combat spam, mitigate security risks, and restore productivity to companies grappling with an influx of illicit email.

	SANS Analyst Review – Log Management This white paper provides a requirements checklist for those considering options and features for their log management systems. Over the past four years, the SANS Annual Log Management Survey has shown increased interest in log management as organizations begin to realize the value that their logs can provide to auditors, security teams, network administrators, and even operational business units. Compliance with PCI, SOX, HIPAA, and other regulations is the primary driver for collecting logs, according to 78 percent of respondents in one part of the survey. But another question showed that logs are also being viewed as a means to increase visibility into networks, improve overall security effectiveness, and minimize downtime.
	Protecting Your Network Against the Growing Danger of Web Attacks Web–borne malware is now more common than malware that enters an organization through email. The number of Web sites discovered per day, that carry malware increased 400% in 2008. This drastic increase in infected sites can cause serious issues for your business. Organizations need to proactively protect their networks both by instituting acceptable usage policies for employee web usage as well as implementing a solution to combat these malware intrusions.

	Open Source Security Myths Dispelled When choosing between proprietary and open source security solutions, many organizations are misled by open source myths. As a result, they ask the wrong questions when evaluating their options and unnecessarily limit their IT solutions. Is it risky to trust mission–critical infrastructure to open source software? Why should we pay an open source vendor when open source is supposed to be free? Will a shift to open source add complexity to our IT infrastructure? These questions all arise from open source myths that this white paper will explain and dispel, allowing IT decision makers to focus on more important organizational issues: return–on–investment, ease–of–use, agility, reliability, and control.

	Mitigating Fraudulent Transactions Detecting, investigating and responding to fraudulent transactions from within and outside an organization is an essential function of business operations. When most organizations start thinking about fraud solutions, a number of questions generally arise: Do we not already have an adequate solution? Are there tools that can "really" detect fraud? We are watching our applications – isn't that enough? Monitoring external fraud is hard enough, how can we possibly monitor fraud from internal, trusted users? The following white paper will outline the requirements for an effective fraud mitigation solution. It will detail a solution that considers the entirety of an organization's fraud mitigation strategy.

	Building a Web Application Security Program Current web applications exist in an environment markedly different from the early days of businesses entering the Internet. They have become essential tools interconnecting organizations in ways never anticipated when the first web browsers were designed. These changes have occurred so rapidly that, in many ways, we've failed to adapt operational processes to meet current needs. This is particularly apparent with web application security, where although most organizations have some security controls in place, few organizations have comprehensive web application security programs.
