Accelerating Backup/Restore with the Virtual Tape Library Configuration That Fits Your Environment
|
|
Since VTL uses disk to back up data, it eliminates the media and mechanical errors that can occur with physical tapes and drives. And, because VTL can emulate more tape drives than a physical tape library really has, more backup streams can run simultaneously, enabling organizations to easily complete their backups within the allotted backup window. This white paper guides you in choosing the right VTL configuration for your business.

Business brief: SAN next generation - moving to 4 Gbps
|
|
The Fibre Channel (FC) storage industry has begun the transition to the 4 Gbps interface standard. This is a natural evolution from the 1 and 2 Gbps standards that preceded it. The new standard doubles the speed of the storage communication interface and will lead over time to improvements in storage performance as organizations upgrade their end-to-end storage infrastructure to 4 Gbps.

Best practices for replication of Oracle storage area networks
|
|
Data recovery and protection are the top most priorities of business today and essential elements of any business continuity strategy—the bigger the enterprise, the more challenging the problem—requiring robust and reliable solutions. Final choices and IT decisions depend on how a business perceives its tolerance for data inaccessibility or loss. As such, protection can be as simple as backup of the information locally to a secondary storage device, or it can be complex, involving clustered application and database servers from multiple sites replicating data continuously to other secure remote sites over a long distance.

Second-order Code Injection: Advanced Code Injection Techniques and Testing Procedures
|
|
Many forms of code injection (for instance cross-site scripting and SQL injection) rely upon the instantaneous execution of the embedded code to carry out the attack (e.g. stealing a user' s current session information or executing a modified SQL query). In some cases it may be possible for an attacker to inject their malicious code into a data storage area that may be executed at a later date or time. Depending upon the nature of the application and the way the malicious data is stored or rendered, the attacker may be able to conduct a second-order code injection attack.

The Pharming Guide
|
|
Exploiting well known flaws in DNS services and the way in which host names are resolved to IP addresses, Phishers have upped the ante in the cyber war for control of a customer’s online identity for financial gain. A grouping of attack vectors now referred to as “Pharming”, affects the fundamental way in which a customer’s computer locates and connects to an organisations online offering. Enabling the Pharmer to reach wider audiences with less probability of detection than their Phishing counterparts, pharming attacks are capable of defeating many of the latest defensive strategies used customer and online retailer alike. This paper, extending the original material of “The Phishing Guide”, examines in depth the workings of the name services of which Internet-based customers are dependant upon, and how they can be exploited by Pharmers to conduct identity theft and financial fraud on a massive scale.
