MALICIOUS ATTACK TRENDS: GOOD, BAD, AND WORSE
So, who is the enemy? When fighting malicious hackers and malware, it
helps to know who the enemy is. Symantec's Internet Security
Threat Report, Vol. VIII is a good place to start. Its findings echo
InfoWorld's own security survey and report.

FEDERATION TAKES IDENTITY TO THE NEXT LEVEL
When clients of advertising giant Ogilvy & Mather want to collaborate
on budgets or watch rough cuts of commercials, they're likely to
log on to the company's network and do it online. The process
speeds delivery and saves on travel costs, but it can also add a big
security and regulatory burden.

IDENTITY MANAGEMENT IN ACTION
Think you're ready to deploy IDM (identity management) in your
organization? John Aisien, vice president of marketing at IDM vendor
Thor Technologies, won't kid you about the realities.

======================================================================
THE IDENTITY MANAGEMENT CHALLENGE
The benefits of identity management are an easy sell. Of course IT
organizations want to automate user provisioning, put an end to "I
forgot my password" help desk calls, and bring sanity to access
management across the enterprise. Connect these dots to Sarbanes-Oxley,
and even CEOs and CFOs are on board.
