Symantec Web Based Attacks

The Web has become an important part of home and work life. Malware authors are leveraging this fact to deliver attacks via the Web for financial gain rather than personal fame. This paper examines some of the more popular attack techniques and outlines some best practices for being safe online.


E-Discovery and Electronic Document Retention in Canada

Provided by: Symantec
This paper is a guide to understanding the role of the IT department in the management of electronic documents and support of e-discovery, given new legislature described as "SOX for the CIO". Even without these changes, the issues related to how day-to-day document retention policies and practices affect the outcome of litigation, has become patently obvious at the board level. This will undoubtedly bring new interest to existing guidelines on e-discovery in Ontario and in Canada, as many Canadian companies must now consider these amendments as they do business in Canada, or are subject by contractual terms to US laws.


Symantec Enterprise Security Manager(TM) for C-SOX: Bill 198 and the Canadian Securities Administrators' Multilateral Instruments

Provided by: Symantec
The time to develop a plan of action for the Canadian rules on the Sarbanes-Oxley Act ("CSOX") was December 31, 2006, and to put them into operation by end of December, 2007. Controls which have been developed and templated by Symantec for use with Symantec Enterprise Security Manager to manage SOX compliance in the US, are equally valid and useful in managing CSOX compliance in Canada. This paper seeks to show how the Canadian Securities Administrators' rules map to the equivalent US legislation.


Dear Privacy Officer - the Nightmare Letter

Provided by: Symantec
Given the public's knowledge on the occurrence of privacy breaches brought about by reports in the media, and that in fact these may be underreported, companies should be prepared for Canadians exercising their right to inquire not only what an organization knows about them, but whether their personal information is at risk or has been exposed. Organizations would do well to be prepared for the receipt of the 'nightmare access letter' from an irate consumer who knows a little too much about privacy and information technology. This white paper provides an overview of the principles relating to safeguarding and access. In addition, it includes an example of an access letter, offered as a tool for C-level executives on the forefront of dealing with privacy breach fallout.
