Tip of the Month—Tracking Open Shares within the Corporate Network Today's blended threats, like Nimda and Klez, combine different forms of attack on corporate systems. In addition to spreading via email, they make use of weak security points in the network. Open shares provide these threats with a way of entering the corporate network unobstructed. It's easy for users to create open shares, unless you know about file shares within your system. It's also not an easy task to track them. McAfee's ThreatScan scans for open file shares and other potential vulnerabilities and provides you with comprehensive reports. For more information on ThreatScan, click here. Association of Support Professionals (ASP) picks Network Associates as One of the Best Web Support Sites of 2002 The Association of Support Professionals (ASP) has announced the winners of its fifth annual "Ten Best Web Support Sites" competition, a prestigious awards event that honors Web-based technical support for software and other technology products. The ten winners in the Open Division are: Cisco Systems, Cognos, Crystal Decisions, Microsoft Great Plains, National Instruments, and Network Associates. To select this year's winners, a panel of judges evaluated 63 different Web sites that provide support for software, PC hardware, corporate applications, and online services. Each site was evaluated in terms of the quality of its navigation, knowledgebase content, interactive features, personalization, and success at overcoming major development challenges. "Every year, we see a significant rise in Web support standards, and this year's entries were no exception," says ASP executive director Jeffrey Tarter. "Developing these sites is almost always a major ongoing investment, and the fact that software companies keep making these investments suggests that Web self-service models really do have an attractive return on investment." In September, the ASP will publish a book-length report that will analyze the ten winning sites and discuss the lessons that their developers learned during the build process.
