Abstract: With the emergence of
network access control (NAC) technologies,
network administrators now have tools to gain critical
network understanding. NAC solutions can contribute significantly to an organization’s business objectives by automatically enforcing
network and security policies, preventing
network downtimes, maintaining
network integrity, and meeting compliance regulations. With this in mind, it’s important to look at what NAC implementations actually require.

Abstract: Gaining the trust of online customers is vital for the success of any company with an online presence, particularly those that require sensitive data to be transmitted. This VeriSign white paper explores the latest developments in website security that online businesses should consider to build consumer confidence, protect their valuable brand, safeguard sensitive information, and increase transactions.
Abstract: Online consumers need greater assurance that Web sites are legitimate and that their confidential information will be protected from malicious activity. Download this VeriSign white paper to learn more about new approaches to online security that can lead to increased online transactions, reduced shopping cart abandonment, and an improved bottom line.
Abstract: It is important to understand potential online security risks—and to ensure you’re fully protected against them. With security technologies and online risks changing every day, it is not always easy to stay abreast of the latest advancements. This VeriSign guide will demystify the technology involved and give you all the information you need to make the best decision when considering your online security options.
Abstract: In the converging network and security infrastructure, relating what is reported from security products to what is observed on the network is critical. Q1 Labs’ network security management product, QRadar, combines network behavioral analysis with vulnerability assessment and security event correlation into one platform. Ultimately, this convergence reduces IT acquisition and operations costs, and enhances responses to network security incidents.
Abstract: Whether users feel safe or not plays a major role in how a Web site is used, how much activity is conducted, and how enjoyable their experience is. While SSL has become the standard for protecting Web sites from online security threats, your customers need greater assurance that their transactions are secure. Read this white paper to find out how you can take the guesswork out of security for your customers.
Abstract: While network complexity and bandwidth demands continue to increase, applications such as voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) increase performance requirements. Today’s network administrators need versatile monitoring and analysis tools to quickly troubleshoot and monitor security and compliance. Retrospective network analysis (RNA) tools let you go “back in time” to reconstruct failure or attack. Discover the benefits.
Abstract: The greatest threat to the security of the modern network is complexity. Threats to network security almost always play on missed details in the design of a network or a piece of software. These overlooked details enable much larger and potentially devastating security breaches to occur. However, this threat can be countered with a well designed network and vigilant safeguards.
Abstract: Before engaging with vendors to identify the best solution, you need to perform an evaluation of your network capabilities, and assess the potential impact to your business of a converged network. As with any network implementation, a realistic understanding of what is required to reach your objectives will enable you to ensure a successful transition to enhanced network capabilities.
Abstract: The transition to IP A wireless carrier s national or regional next generation core network will be an all-IP network in the sense that IP will be the network layer (L3) protocol. MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) will be the transport protocol for all IP-based services, applications, and control and management traffic in the network. Learn more in this white paper.
Abstract: As proprietary network hardware appliances become obsolete, unified network platforms (UNPs) are slowly gaining momentum. UNPs are the new paradigm for networking and security—operating on a single system that can be implemented on off-the-shelf hardware. With a UNP, organizations can design, build, manage, and maintain secure networks, without the limitations and expense of vendor proprietary hardware and software.
Abstract: Malicious hacking and illegal access are just a few of the reasons companies lose precious corporate data every year. As the number of network security breaches increase, companies must find ways to protect data beyond the perimeter of their businesses. But how do they build a data-defensible architecture that will protect data on an ever-evolving network? The answer: by first developing an in-depth defense strategy.
Abstract: Over the last two years, there has been a significant amount of IT industry attention focused on controlling users and devices access¬ing the corporate network. In this same time, the number of mobile com¬puting devices has surpassed the number of desktops used in corporate networks. Needless to say, the challenge IT managers face in securing the network has grown exponentially.
Abstract: Performing patch management is one of the most tedious chores that must be completed by network administrators. While there are many patch management tools available, they can be expensive, have sharp learning curves, or are not deployable across all software platforms. One third party solution, however, GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner, version 5, is an affordable option that can scan the network and deploy patches efficiently while looking for other potential security vulnerabilities.
Abstract: Network-critical physical infrastructure includes power, cooling, racks and physical structure, security and fire protection, cabling, management systems, and service. To manage these key pieces of your network’s physical structure, you need to be able to manage devices individually. Find out how an element management solution can help you assimilate and manage the large volume of data necessary for network availability.
Abstract: There are many legitimate reasons for upgrading your company’s enterprise network. The trick is selling those reasons to the executives holding your company’s purse strings. When you know it’s time for a network upgrade, you need more than just the technical facts—you have to arm yourself with a solid business case. Start with 10 tips that can help you sell the members of your upper management team on a network upgrade.
Abstract: Your operations and assets are under multiple points of attack, both inside and outside your network. Organizations face escalating security risks and network availability requirements as they open their networks for communications and transactions with key customers, business partners, and employees. That’s why you need to ensure efficient monitoring and enhancement of your network security posture and operations.
Abstract: The number of devices in the corporate world is increasing every year. And as mobility proliferates, so does the requirement for network security solutions to protect against external attacks, as well as attacks originating inside the network perimeter. However, network access control solutions can provide organizations with the ability to automatically enforce security policies, while still maintaining user productivity.
Abstract: Typically, useful network documentation requires a significant investment in time and effort. But because enterprise networks are in constant flux, many companies do not document their network on a regular basis. However, by adopting a sole source, service-based solution for network shapes and stencils, organizations can perform mission-critical documentation more regularly—in ways that are simpler, faster and more effective.
