Collaborative Accountability in Policy Management: Effectively Managing Policies across the Enterprise
Policy, done right, can articular corporate culture, the boundaries of individual and business behavior, and personal conduct. Consider that: * Policies articular the governance culture and structure: Most organizations do not connect policy with how they influence and establish corporate culture and align governance activities. Granted, corporate culture is present with or without policies. However, without policies there are no written standards about acceptable and unacceptable conduct. Without good policy, culture morphs, changes, and takes unintended paths without a compass to guide its way. * Policies articulate a culture of risk: This includes risk responsibilities, communication, appetite, tolerance levels, and risk ownership. Every organization takes risk – it is part of business. Without clearly written guidance and ownership, risk governance policy will be ineffective.

Intel's Vision of the Ongoing Shift to Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is an important transition and a paradigm shift in IT services delivery – one that promises large gains in efficiency and flexibility at a time when demands on data centers are growing exponentially. The tools, building blocks, solutions, and best practices for cloud computing are evolving, and challenges to deploying cloud solutions need to be considered.
Level 3 and the Private Cloud: Making the Cloud Work for You
The news media and trade pubs are filled with stories about innovative cloud solutions being introduced by industry giants: from Amazon’s forays into auctioning off computing capacity, to Google’s decision to expand the storage capabilities of its Google Docs application, to IBM’s comprehensive SmartBusiness cloud portfolio. But the most interesting cloud story is happening a lot closer to home, in the private data centers run by individual businesses. These businesses have seized the processes and technologies that make cloud computing so intriguing, and shaped them in a way that’s more effective for their current needs. Enter the private cloud.
IPv6 and Fortinet: Network Security in the Next Generation of IP Communication
Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) is the first version of the Internet Protocol (IP) that was widely accepted and deployed by organizations worldwide. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the research and development office of the US Department of Defense, initially created IP addressing over thirty years ago. Although once projected to be exhausted in the 1990s, the IPv4 address space has been extended several times over the last three decades. IPv6, the next generation Internet communication protocol, was developed as the replacement protocol for IPv4. The US Government and many service providers have embraced this new protocol in their network. However, the public has not had much interaction with this new protocol, and there has been little private-sector adoption of IPv6. Nonetheless, many enterprises have IPv6 adoption on their technology roadmap due to the anticipated exhaustion of the address space, and are looking to understand how IPv6 may affect their network security strategy. In this document, we will take a look at IPv4, what’s ahead for IPv6, and how it affects Fortinet customers.

Paetec: Malware Is Banging On Your Network’s Door
Malicious software or “malware” is the biggest network security threat facing financial institutions today. Cybercriminals target enterprises that hold a great deal of money or conduct a high volume of transactions on a daily basis. A network intrusion can cost an organization as much as $5 million. And, the damage to a company’s reputation can be irreparable. Statistics show that if a major security breach occurs against a U.S. enterprise, that organization has a 90 percent chance of going out of business within two years. This is particularly alarming considering that malware is currently the fastest-growing trend in the misuse of network resources.
SecureZone360: Pre-emptive Security: Stopping Data Leakage at its Source
Today’s Information Security Professionals face a daunting myriad of challenges in protecting their organization’s most confidential, sensitive documents as they flow inside and outside the firm. In addition to identifying where those documents reside, the problems continue to grow as users increasingly define their own workflows by exchanging documents via email and a variety of other collaborative tools. Security technologies, until recently, have concentrated on searching for breaches and suggesting where sensitive data leakage may have occurred. While valuable, sensitive information continues to makes its way into the wrong hands. A new approach, Pre-Emptive Security, aims to close the gap by providing tools to protect information throughout its entire life cycle.
