    Anatomy of a Cyber-Attack

    As the number and severity of cyber-crimes continues to grow, it's important to understand the steps cyber-criminals take to attack your network, the types of malware they use, and the tools you need to stop them. The basic steps of a cyber attack include reconnaissance (finding vulnerabilities); intrusion (actual penetration of the network); malware insertion (secretly leaving code behind); and clean-up (covering tracks).

    10 Sneaky Things a Spammer Will Do

    Most spammers are just sales people looking for an avenue to sell their products or services. Sending out email is cheap and believe it or not some people do respond to their spam advertisements. It only takes a few people to respond to a spam ad to make it profitable for the spammer—so the game is to reach as many people as possible with the spam message to increase the odds of finding a few respondents. With spammers using the "shotgun" approach to marketing (shoot at everything and you'll hit something) the increase in spam messages makes sense. Also, to improve their chances, spammers are constantly working to improve their effectiveness at getting past spam filters. Let's take a look at a few of the tricks that spammers use to improve their odds of reaching their target audience.

    The Adaptive Business

    To persevere and succeed in today's economy, companies need to adapt to rapidlychanging business realities. In these challenging economic times, companies are suddenly faced with the need to be more competitive and productive using fewer resources, and under increasingly-stringent regulations. Businesses must be fl exible in bringing the talent and resources they need from a wider range of distributed employees, part-time workers, contractors, partners and consultants. IT departments must adapt to a torrent of new software and hardware technologies that are no longer always under their complete control. And, more than ever, companies must be prepared to adapt and respond to emerging threats from malware and disasters.

    Helping Schools Secure Their Networks While Saving Their Budgets

    The challenges facing grade school educators are greater than ever before. The standards for academic achievement and the expectations of students' families continue to climb. At the same time, education budgets are tighter. Schools' technology infrastructures are caught in the middle, requiring K-12 IT administrators to literally do more with less. Networked resources have addressed some qualitative issues. Online instruction materials and classroom management services supplement teachers' capabilities and free them from administrative chores. In addition, self-service portals and email communications increase the efficiency and effectiveness of administrative staff. This reliance on the Internet brings new challenges. As the user population grows to include on- and off-campus students, faculty, administrators, contractors and parents, so do the threats to the network's security. This is further compounded by the ever-changing threat landscape. What K-12 IT administrators need is a network and information security solution that is effective, high-performing, flexible, and easy to manage. These are the types of solutions that only SonicWALL® delivers.

Today's modern distributed enterprise is everywhere.

    Bayesian Spam Classification Applied to Phishing E-Mail

    Effective e-mail security solutions must protect users from all types of e-mail threats. However, each threat must be treated differently to address its unique properties. Bayesian filtering has been successfully combating spam. However, this same filter cannot be applied to phishing. Instead, a Bayesian phishing filter can be created through layering different features which are strong indicators of phishing. Test results show that Bayesian rules can be effectively applied to identifying phishing. This identification allows phishing e-mails to be uniquely categorized. Even if recipients can not recognize the e-mails as phishing, the e-mails can be securely removed from the inbox and labeled appropriately, helping to keep users safe.

Nevertheless, by understanding phishing as a distinct and more sophisticated type of email threat, and by seeking solutions designed specifically to stop phishing e-mail, you can protect yourself and your organization.
