Is Your Storage Area Network Secure? An Overview of Storage Area Network from Security Perspective
In this paper, I will discuss about Storage Area Network (SAN) architecture in general, such as topology, SAN components, and terminologies to give you an idea about SAN. Then I will go over the potential security threats and solutions available in SAN environments such as in SAN network, implementation, and management. I will also cover some of the attacks that will impact your SAN, and actions necessary for protecting it. Finally, future SAN protocols and technologies such as iSCSI, InfiniBand, FCIP and iFCP will be discussed. SAN is indeed a very exciting technology, looking forward to years to come. Read on.

Policy Management Through Strength in Architecture
"Defense in depth" is a best practice strategy for architecting security solutions. In its simplest form, "defense in depth" includes the use of process and technology at each layer in the OSI model. For our security operations manager, this means an added multiplier of configurations that need to be maintained each configured to the policy of "utilizing the most granular criteria possible."

IPv4 Multicast Security: A Network Perspective
Multicast holds great promise in reducing the network bandwidth required for simultaneous communication between multiple hosts. Documented routing protocols and distribution methods are now enabling multicast implementations to move out of the LAN arena and into the larger world of the internet. Multicast's methods of operation pose new and extended demands on security models developed primarily for unicast data transmission. This paper examines the security implications of multicast communications as they relate to network management. It begins with a general description of multicast communications and then progresses to discussing multicast methods of operation within the Internet Protocol (IPv4) framework while contrasting them against the more familiar unicast operations. Security issues specific to multicast communications are identified and discussed. Possible solutions including the extension of IPsec to MIPsec are examined.

J2EE Connector Architecture White Paper:Integrating Java applications with existing Enterprise Applications
Most companies have enormous investments in Enterprise Information Systems (EISs) such as ERP systems, legacy systems, mainframe database and transaction processing systems. Today, leveraging these systems as part of a web-based, multi-tiered application is challenging. EIS vendors provide proprietary interfaces, with varying levels of support for enterprise application integration. Application server vendors have to build and maintain separate interfaces for different supported EISs, and application developers need to manage the system-level issues of security, transactions and connection pooling within the applications themselves.

Security Process for the implementation of a Companys extranet network
The current business climate requires companies to communicate and exchange information with a large number of customers, business partners, vendors, contractors and research communities. Besides of this fact, most of the companies offer remote access and internet access for their employees. Under this scenario, companies must implement security controls in their network's perimeter. The problem is how to implement these controls, how to cover all the security aspects for each connection, how to implement policies, guidelines and procedures to provide an acceptable security level for the company according to their business needs.

Understanding Security Using the OSI Model
This paper is written as a guide for those who do not labour through the wee hours of the morning (yet) studying every new Information Technology (IT) vulnerability. This paper will provide a breakdown of the OSI (Open Source Interconnection) model, and using that model, explain some well-known vulnerabilities. The paper will take each layer of the OSI model (there are seven) and describe a relevant vulnerability with a solution to that problem area. The reader will become more aware of the vulnerabilities that exist in the IT environment. More importantly, the reader will be able to use the OSI model as a guide to simplify the security process.

A Survey Of Trusted Computing Specifications And Related Technologies
This paper seeks to survey the key points of these technologies and provide a framework for suggesting whether a TCPA/TCG or NGSCB architecture will improve security in an environment and where it may reduce security.

Get Serious About SOA Governance: A 5-Step Action Plan for Architects ~ Sponsor
Build an airtight yet flexible governance plan to avoid risk and get the most out of SOA investment. In this white paper, you'll learn why governance is so crucial to reaping the full benefits of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). Learn how the lack of governance can expose your organization to serious risks; discover five key practices to consider as you build your SOA governance plan; understand the importance of flexibility and enforcement; and more.

Secure Access of Network Resources by Remote Clients
This paper will identify the threats that remote access poses to corporate network security including those involving hackers, malicious applications and the use of weak access and physical controls. Solutions for these security problems will be proposed using three paradigms; remote-based safeguards that are client managed, remote-based safeguards that are centrally managed and network-based safeguards that are centrally managed. Both Host-based paradigms focus on protecting the remote client from security threats, which in turn, prevents the network from being compromised. The network-based paradigm does not attempt to safeguard the remote host, considering it to be unmanageable and untrustworthy.
