Fraud is scary, and there are many valid reasons for merchants to decline suspicious transactions in the name of fraud prevention. But often, in the quest to avoid abuse, risk-averse vendors take defensive measures too far. According to industry data, the average merchant loses 5.5% of their revenue to false declines — perfectly legitimate orders, rejected because they seem suspicious.

Tank overfill is a crucial safety concern in the petroleum industry. Failure to put adequate prevention measures in place has resulted in injuries, loss of life, and billions of dollars worth of damages worldwide. These resources were developed by the level control experts at Magnetrol to help you implement and maintain an effective Overfill Protection Plan for your terminals.

This guide provides information on how to reduce risk in today's IT environment.

Measurable performance is a key factor when selecting an Application Delivery Controller(ADC) solution for modern data centers. In this report, Tolly evaluates the performance of several Citrix NetScaler ADC models vs. that of comparable products. Learn how NetScaler fared and provided up to 480% the performance of F5.

Today’s enterprises face new requirements for their datacenter and cloud architectures, from keeping pace cost-effectively with fast-growing traffic to ensuring optimal application performance no matter how quickly business needs or the enterprise environment evolve. At the same time, IT must reduce costs and datacenter sprawl, ensure security and uptime, and prepare for a new generation of cloud computing initiatives. While many Application Delivery Controller (ADC) solutions promise to meet demanding customer needs, the reality often falls short. Taking a closer look at the available options and how they measure up against the criteria that matter most, it becomes clear that NetScaler beats the competition—providing better performance and scalability than F5 Networks, Inc.

For the first time in several years, there has been a sharp increase in denial of service (DOS) attacks. In the past, these attacks have been directed at the networks of large companies. Now we are seeing the emergence of attacks targeting smaller companies and higher layers in the computing stack. Intruders are using low-bandwidth attacks disguised as legitimate transactions to bypass firewalls and basic intrusion prevention measures. Organizations need a better way to combat and prevent these attacks, and the right ADC can provide the solution. Learn how Citrix NetScaler can help protect against DOS attacks in the report, Citrix NetScaler: A Powerful Defense Against DOS Attacks (link).

SANS conducted this survey to explore how organizations are handling prevention. Breaking down possible preventive measures into four major categories or domains (business, architectural design and development, operational, and technology), the survey sought to answer three major questions: 1. What measures have respondents implemented that they believe will prevent breaches? 2. What measures not necessarily implemented do respondents consider preventive? 3. What barriers have stopped respondents from doing what they should be doing?
