Defend Against Injection-based Attacks
We’ll explore some of the most common security vulnerabilities currently plaguing the software
development industry, and present different ways in which Static Code Analysis, or SCA, can detect them.
In this paper, we’ll:
• Provide a detailed description of the weakness
• Show how it presents itself to the end user and the developer
• Explain mitigation strategies to help resolve each issue
Prototype to Production with IMSL Numerical Libraries
In this paper, we describe how to call IMSL routines directly from R and Matlab. In general, use of IMSL reduces software production time and costs. Moreover, the technique we describe streamlines the process further by easing the transition from algorithm development to production code. We show how to integrate IMSL with common tools used by applied mathematicians, data scientists,
and advanced algorithm groups.
SANS Maturing and Specializing: Incident Response Capabilities Needed
The SANS 2015 survey of the incident response capabilities of more than 500 security professionals found good news and bad news. The good news is that reported malware incidents, breaches, and remediation time declined slightly compared to last year, indicating a maturing of defenses and incident response capabilities. The bad news is 37 percent of respondents said their teams are unable to distinguish malicious events from nonevents, and most organizations still experience significant impediments to incident response.
Read the 2015 survey results to learn:
• The kind of data most targeted by hackers
• Remediation practices used by respondents
• The threat intelligence and detection technologies that work
• The greatest impediments to fast and effective response
SANS: What are their Vulnerabilities? A Survey on Continuous Monitoring
Continuous monitoring is among the latest approaches to keep your company safe from hackers. And according to this SANS survey, most organizations claim to have a program for monitoring systems and activities for unauthorized changes, vulnerabilities, abnormal operation, and needed patches. But how effective are they?
Read the complete SANS survey report to learn what most companies are monitoring, how often, and what they are finding. Most important, understand why the author claims most continuous monitoring programs—even those viewed as mature by their operators—fall well short of what it takes to keep hackers out.
Cyber Security Best Practices
Discover how enterprise security best practices can help you avoid suffering financial losses, damage to your brand, and damage to customer relationships caused by undetected or detected too late cyber attacks.
On average, advanced attacks now persist in the network seven months before they are detected. The time to resolve those attacks once detected has increased by 221 percent to 45 days.
This paper shows you how you can tap into the best threat intelligence solutions and what new ideas you can use in your organization to find the needle in the haystack that indicates hackers are at work.
VBlock Systems Provide the Perfect Remedy for Purdue Pharma
In the past, Purdue had built its underlying IT infrastructure from multiple vendors. “The company bought what it needed and cobbled it all together,” said Rayda. “This created great variability from
system to system.”
VCW Provides Old Dutch Foods a Fresh Way to Make and Deliver its Quality Snacks
To ensure that its products are as fresh as possible when they reach consumers, Old Dutch operates six plants located in close proximity to its marketing areas.
“The biggest challenge from a business perspective is to get the right products to the right places at the right time,” said Tom Nollan, Director of IT for Old Dutch Foods. “Our products have a limited shelf life, and we always want the freshest products in consumers’ hands.”
VCE Lifecycle Assurance: Doing the Hard Work So You Don’t Have To
A Vblock from VCE isn’t just a sum of its parts—it’s a new way of implementing and supporting missioncritical infrastructure. The value a customer derives over the entire lifecycle of her systems doesn’t end with initial performance improvements or cost savings—it enables IT to offload the massive expense and risk associated with endless patch management and regression testing to VCE, enabling IT to remain focused on strategic initiatives.
Time for Converged Infrastructure?
Managing corporate information technology infrastructure has long centered on the challenge of getting the pieces—servers, storage, networks—to work together.
With converged infrastructure (CI), that work is done ahead of time and behind the scenes. So it can be easier to install, deploy, update, and manage infrastructure, as well as to optimize its performance, minimize its cost, and maximize its business value. IT organizations can rescue skilled staff from “keeping the lights on” and focus them on realizing new technology-enabled business opportunities.
Toad™ for Oracle® Tips and Tricks
I have used Toad™ for 10 years, since I made the leap from Access® to Oracle®. Most of my time is spent in the editor, writing new code or opening and running one of the many snippets I have saved there over the years. Toad makes me more efficient, the latest version reminds me of errors before I even hit compile. Using code review, there is an instructor standing over my shoulder every time I hit format.
The 10 Most Useful Toad™ Features
Millions of users trust Toad solutions to provide a simple, consistent way to build manage and maintain their databases. Toad is a fully mature product with over three million lines of code, and it’s improving all the time. In fact, there are so many useful features that even people who have been using the product for years may be missing out on some of Toad’s best functionality.
Getting Agile with Database Development
Once an organization becomes convinced of the advantagesof agile development, there is no going back. Shorter time to value, lower risk and greater flexibility are among the most frequently cited benefits of the agile mentality.
Although most application developers now consider agile a mainstream approach, database developers — especially those working on relational databases — have been slower to embrace it because of the need to understand and respect the state of a database when deploying changes. Thus, database professionals have had to rely on manual processes that do not scale up to the faster development cycles at the heart of agile.
Deliver Better Applications Using Database Development Best Practices
Delivering properly functioning, easily maintainable, bugfree code really is harder than it used to be. Not only do development teams have to deal with frequently changing requirements and tight project timelines, they also must find ways to work effectively in distributed project teams, and with larger, more complex database environments than even just a few years ago.
The resulting challenges include:
• Ensuring that the code works properly
• Ensuring that the application functions not only today, but also years into the future
• Dealing with everyday setbacks, such as coding errors and rework, in the most effective way
• Making sure development projects are versioned properly
