Security in Collaboration Environments Sample Clauses

Security in Collaboration Environments. The typical business work force today is both mobile and collaborative. Mobile in the sense that workers need to access and share their data both locally and remotely. Collaborative because entering networked business even supports SMEs to jointly compete in fields dominated by larger companies. In fact, collaboration allows organizations to focus their resources to their fields of expertise, while meeting new business opportunities through combining their strengths with other enterprises.

The four major threats to a secure collaboration infrastructure include:  Malware. Today, many viruses and worms are designed to rapidly infect millions of computer systems across the world using the www, e-mail, and instant messaging.  Spam. Businesses are being overwhelmed with unsolicited e-mail that is sapping network resources and flooding e-mail inboxes. Spam is not only a threat to corporate productivity, but it has become a common carrier for malicious code. As a result, the messaging infrastructure is a critical focal point for businesses in the fight against malicious software.  Unauthorized Network Access. Security procedures and policies that are adequate to protect LAN data can be ineffective when the network is opened to outsiders for messaging and collaboration. In addition, hackers are now using more sophisticated application-layer attacks. ...
