McAfee Upgrades Facebook Security
With the growing use of Facebook as an enterprise tool, combined with the growing number of security threats associated with Facebook use, McAfee (news, site) has announced that it has expanded and launched a download specifically for Facebook.
Targeting users who don’t have sufficient security on their computers to deal with the threats that can enter using Facebook, this free download is available in 41 countries and gives uses quicker and more intelligent identification of threats currently riding the web.
One of the most useful features is integration with Site Advisor, which can identify web sites that pose a threat and those that may contain malware buried in the pages.
Anyone who uses Facebook regularly has probably already come across Koobface worm variants, or the dodgy application that says it can tell users who has gained access to their profile.
While this will be useful for everyone, it will be particularly so for smaller businesses that use Facebook, but don’t have huge IT resources that can block malicious applications, or secure networks.
GFI Offers SharePoint Log Management
GFI Software (news, site) has added enhanced security and compliance features to GFI EventsManager 2011 with LOGbinder SP, providing SharePoint log management, and auto-update patch management capabilities.
EventsManager enables users to meet data security, regulatory compliance and e-Discovery requirements by monitoring, logging and analyzing events occurring on a network. The latest version of GFI EventsManager applies these same log monitoring and reporting capabilities to SharePoint environments.
While SharePoint offers an audit log solution, many organizations require more robust capabilities such as matching users to specific events and generating detailed reports and audits.
LOGbinder SP — a Windows-based service that can be installed on a SharePoint server — monitors SharePoint events and translates that activity into a Windows event log. GFI EventsManager then collects the events generated by LOGbinder SP and archives the logs into a centralized database for management and analysis.
In sum, it enables users to consolidate SharePoint activity with other important events, giving them a holistic view of everything happening across the network.
Coverity Offers Code Governance
Meanwhile, a new release from Coverity (news, site) looks at code governance and quality. Coverity Integrity is a new solution for code governance that enables software development organizations to set policies for code quality and security, and then manage, monitor and report on these policies as code is tested.
