Network security is becoming less about locking down a network perimeter and more about controlling user access and behavior - ensuring data safety in a dynamic and mobile environment. Network access control (NAC) is being promoted as the model to which enterprises should aspire, but few are taking the plunge to a full NAC implementation. 

IPv6 satisfies the increasingly complex requirements of hierarchical addressing that IPv4 does not provide. 

Learn how different priorities trigger the need for network access control and see examples of how to get NAC up and running in a phased approach. 

Online security will remain a top concern for both individuals and corporations throughout the year - and beyond. In this white paper you will explore 5 ways to protect your vital data from increasingly sophisticated malware and network attacks. 

From desktop vulnerabilities to the impact open proxies, JavaScript, universal access to HTTP and the adoption of embedded HTML in email, this white paper presents the top ten scenarios hackers use the web to attack your infrastructure. 

Secure Web gateway solutions protect Web-surfing PCs from infection and enforce company policies. Incumbant providers have been slow to respond to changing demands, while new vendors are struggling to get the right product mix and prove their mettle in the demanding enterprise market. 

Today's enterprise and government organizations increasingly support the use of mobile (wireless) devices by their employees. At the same time, enterprise and government organizations often underestimate the potential security risks of using wireless devices. 

For a security professional to thrive in an environment that seems designed to thwart all control mechanisms requires a forward-thinking, aggressive yet thoughtful approach to information control. In this paper you'll learn about the key features of network data leakage protection (DLP) and explore it's evolution. 

Read this white paper to learn how the software-as-a-service model can help you stay ahead of Web and email threats without breaking the bank on infrastructure and management. Companies are using Web and email security SaaS to handle threats before they hit the network, which defeats today's highly complex threats in the cloud, in real time. 

Authored by Ron Ben Natan, Ph.D., author of "HOWTO Secure and Audit Oracle 10g and 11g" (CRC Press, March 2009), this white paper describes 8 essential best practices that provide a holistic approach to safeguarding databases and achieving compliance.
