Check out this white paper to learn about two network protocol models, TCP/IP and OSI. 

<p>McAfee Application Control provides a new, timely, practical layer of systems security by blocking unauthorized applications. While it has some of the advantages of whitelisting, it avoids the operational and security limitations that have held back enterprise adoption of whitelisting technology.</p> 

In this white paper, we'll take a look at access control lists, often referred to as access lists or ACLs (sometimes pronounced "ackels"). 

<p>This paper uncovers tips for choosing a cloud hosting provider and explores where and when to use cloud solutions, specific issues enterprises should raise with hosting providers before selecting a vendor, and ways in which SSL from a trusted certificate authority can help enterprises conduct business in the cloud with confidence.</p> 

For many years network administrators have expected security breaches to come from outside an organization or at the upper layers of the OSI model. This paper will focus on securing layer 2 switching at the access layer through port security and preventing denial of service (DoS) attacks at layer 2. 

As users demand more remote access using a variety of endpoints, organizations must implement advanced authentication solutions to ensure the protection of their business. This webcast explores the importance of implementing risk appropriate, multi-layered authentication, and the key factors to consider when selecting an approach. 

As with any new technology, in order to achieve a secure implementation, it is necessary to augment existing policies and practices with an understanding of how virtualization works. Read this paper to find out more. 

With the profitability of exploiting information systems, coupled with the emergence of crimeware and services; fraud has grown from a criminal activity into an industry. This paper examines the industrialization of fraud and how organizations must respond with a comprehensive strategy that integrates intelligence with multiple security controls. 

Data abstraction overcomes data structure incompatibility by transforming data from its native structure and syntax into reusable views and data services. But some data abstraction approaches work better than others. Composite data virtualization is an optimal way to implement an abstraction layer at enterprise scale. 

This paper  examines the big picture when it comes to Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), and what happens when a data packet traverses an MPLS cloud. 

Overlay transport virtualization (OTV) can help solve many of the challenges in today's increasingly virtualized and geographically dispersed data centers. Access this paper for a high-level overview of this technology and how it differs from the alternatives.
