| | | More and more companies are relying on Web-based applications to provide online services to their employees, to support e-commerce sales and to leverage portals, discussion boards and blogs that help staff better communicate with customers, partners and suppliers. However, as the number and complexity of Web applications have grown, so have the associated security risks. This paper discusses the security challenges created by Web applications and suggests some steps you can take to address them. Complimentary with registration. |
| | | As businesses grow increasingly dependent upon Web applications, they grow more difficult to secure. Firewalls, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), and network and host security cannot prevent attacks are on applications themselves - and that is where most attacks are targeted. This paper explains what you can do to help protect your organization, and it discusses an approach for improving your organization's Web application security. Complimentary with registration.

| | | | | | MailFrontier, Sophos, Symantec, and Trend Micro deploy effective spam combatants. Spam is such a significant problem these days that even the federal government has gotten involved, passing legislation such as the CAN-SPAM Act. Meanwhile, a wide variety of companies has collaborated on an authentication scheme called the Sender ID Framework, aimed at making e-mail fraud even harder to perpetrate. Realistically, though, neither CAN-SPAM nor e-mail-sender authentication is likely to do much to stem the flood of mail. Fortunately, anti-spam products continue to evolve and improve. |

| | | How to tell if you’ve been hit by SQL Injection wormThe Internet Storm Center has warned of a malware attack affecting databases. How to see if your site has been hit using a Google search
By:
Erik Larkin

| The SQL Injection worm, which attacks databases, has affected about 4,000 sites, according to The Internet Storm Center. The assault adds invisible code to a site that can force visitors to download malware onto their PC. Bad PR, to say the least. IMPORTANT: DO NOT visit the domain named in the following test, or any sites that show up on a Web search as having this domain listed in their pages' code (including cached pages). Doing so could infect your PC with malware. To see if your site has been hit, run the following Google search: "site:your company domain (ex. pcworld.com) winzipices.cn." Or search for that domain within your Web site HTML code. If you find anything, let your IT know immediately. When I ran a search just now I saw sites for everything from insurance companies to cemeteries to universities that all appear to have been infected. The ISC doesn't yet know just what vulnerability is targeted. The attack highlights the importance of keeping your site secure, something I wrote about last month. It's likewise critical to keep your own PC software up-to-date, as the ISC says visitors to infected sites can be hit via a known flaw in old Real Player software. For more details, see the ISC post or a more detailed writeup from shadowserver.org. |
