No single technology guarantees security, however application whitelisting covers situations not addressed by firewalls or anti-virus utilities. This paper focuses on how application whitelisting can be effectively used as an important layer in your security scenario. 

This white paper provides a thorough explanation of one of the more potent malware classifications effecting systems and networks today – the Storm/Nuwar Botnet. While security software can mitigate the direct impact of Nuwar and other bot-related malware on individual systems, the wider effects of botnet activity need additional countermeasures. 

This free whitepaper details best practices for managing distribution and security groups in Active Directory. As the importance of AD in any size organization grows, learn to manage AD groups properly and unleash the power of Active Directory. 

Active Directory becomes very complex to manage in Windows networks. Administrators leave, users are given elevated privileges, applications require special accounts - very soon you have an Active Directory full of security weaknesses. 

This white paper provides insights into how host intrusion prevention systems deliver business value to enterprises, provide protection against zero-day threats, give IT time to test and deploy patches, and realize IT operational cost savings via centrally managed security and visibility of all endpoint security layers through a single console. 

Active Directory certainly gets plenty of attention when it comes to high-profile issues like security, compliance, auditing, and so forth—but what about all of the work you do managing AD on a day-to-day basis? Learn how Quest ActiveRoles Server (ARS)makes AD administration more efficient, automated, consistent, powerful and faster. 

As Web 2.0 sites become more widespread, so does the problem of protecting your users from them. In this webinar, learn how a Secure Web Gateway helps build a critical layer of defense. This includes the creation of a community watch solution that gets a world of users working to keep your network safe. 

Human error and hardware or software failures can easily corrupt Active Directory. AD objects can often be modified or deleted by mistake and faulty scripts can overwrite attributes. The result is unplanned system downtime and lost user productivity. 

This podcast explores the key changes made to Windows Server 2008 R2 in Active Directory, Group Policy and Terminal Services. Discover how your organization can leverage these improvements for reduced costs, increased control and improved efficiency. 

Learn how in today's evolving threat landscape you need to lay the proper IT security foundation that proactively addresses the root cause of attacks such as Conficker.
