--Permanently Delete Data Rather Than Just Overwriting It
by Lavon Peters, Security Editor
Deleting files doesn't actually erase the data--it simply lets you
overwrite the data by removing the pointer to the data on the disk.
Diskeeper has a solution to this security problem with its Undelete 2009
software, which includes an electronic data shredding feature called
SecureDelete 2.0. This feature ensures that deleted files are
immediately purged from the recovery bin, then overwritten using
sophisticated bit patterns governed by the National Security Agency
(NSA) and the Department of Defense (DoD). For more information about
Undelete 2009 or its new features, contact Diskeeper at 818-771-1600 or
visit http://ct.email.windowsitpro.com/rd/cts?d=33-13286-803-202-62923-1391943-0-0-0-1-2-207 (http://ct.email.windowsitpro.com/rd/cts?d=33-13286-803-202-62923-1391944-0-0-0-1-2-207.

Addressing Insider Threats--Who Can You Trust?
Although an organization might allow an employee privileged access, why
should that person be trusted? Most organizations deal with insider
threats from end users by defining application roles, restricting access
to data, and identifying strict audit rules. However, they often forget
their computer administrators. IT administrators are granted extensive
rights to servers, Active Directory, and applications as part of their
jobs. Read this white paper to identify the key business processes that
your organization must secure, and you'll be equipped to contain insider
threats.

FEATURED WHITE PAPER
DoubleTake WP Q308
Backup is a waste of time ... if the data can't be recovered. Most
organizations focus on disaster recovery so they can resume operations
quickly after a major outage, but it's just as important for
organizations to excel at operational recovery in order to have a
complete business continuity plan. This white paper addresses the
current challenges for operational recovery and discusses how you can
easily recover data from any point in time.
