Use Data to Beat the Competition
Most companies recognize the importance of their data - but few are leveraging
it to full advantage. So while your competitors sit back, you can sprint ahead -
helping to cut costs, boost profits, build loyalty, and solve a myriad of
day-to-day business challenges. No matter the size of your business, you can
now compete on a level playing field.

Do you know where your security holes are?
We all worry that there's some lurking security problem in our servers. We do
what we can -- patching, following best practices, keeping up-to-date with
training and news. But wouldn't it be great to have an automated tool to check
our work? That's the promise of vulnerability analyzers: products that detect
problems in configuration, applications and patches.

Mesh networks may make SQL injection attacks more persistent
Mass Web compromises have typically redirected visitors to a handful of central
malware sites, but a peer-to-peer approach will make mass attacks more
pernicious.
