Participants at industry conferences and events often ask where the right place to start implementing security is. This is similar to starting off a talk with a doctor by asking “What medicine should I take?” The answer is going to be more questions. This article presents three questions to ask yourself before starting a security implementation. 

In this article we first explore the motivation for protocol security solutions, ones that are capable of protecting data in transit. We describe several solutions, at various layers of the open systems interconnection (OSI) stack, addressing several key network and platform threats. 

This paper is actually a combination of four smaller papers all rolled into one PDF. It features articles on revisiting old virtualization practices for new business purposes, desktop virtualization strategies for faster provisioning and migration, network security concerns in a virtual environment, and more. 

This article will give step-by-step overview of how to deal with some of the most pervasive security threats currently facing IBM Power Systems. It'll help organizations that are struggling to get started with security and act as a 'wake-up call' for those who think that “powering the server on” is all the security they need. 

This article describes and discusses benefits of a research prototype, P-MAPS, a processor-measured service layer that dynamically reduces the trusted computing base (TCB) and verifiably improves the runtime security of user's applications, without interrupting the typical operation of the user OS. 

Read this brochure to learn how iAnywhere Mobile Office offers enhanced network security, data protection, device management, profile administration, cross-platform support, and deployment features all available through Apple’s App Store. 

Massachusetts has taken the lead in passing a new regulation - 201 CMR 17:00 -that requires companies to implement a comprehensive data security plan that includes encryption. This article discusses some aspects of this regulation and offers suggestions on how data security best practices can help with compliance. 

Read this case study to learn how an organization with 700 computers across 36 locations in Portugal implemented Panda Cloud Office Protection and achieved several benefits, including a significant increase in malware detections, great technical support, and enhanced computer performance. 

Change management: Information security professionals have been known to cringe when they hear these words. But the change management process doesn't have to be as complicated as it might seem. 

Read this paper for a thorough examination of data loss prevention and for a step-by-step guide for implementing an effective DLP solution in your organization. 

Read this solution guide for suggestions on how to get the most out of implementing application control in your network. After discussing the expanding applications frontier and its impact on an enterprise, the paper defines application control and reviews the requirements it must meet. 

Read this case study to learn how the leading technology total solutions provider for the long-term care industry, VCPI, selected and implemented CDW solutions, resulting in increased speed and effectiveness of network defenses as well as improved incident response time. 

Sometimes a bad egg will exploit a security vulnerability on purpose for personal gain. Much more often, though, expensive data loss incidents are caused by good people who just made an honest mistake. A good DLP solution will protect from the few bad ones who are trying to hurt the business, and also from the many good - but fallible - employees.
