Whitepapers & Technical Briefings  SSL Protects Users from Firesheep and Sidejacking Attacks The recent release of the Firesheep Wi-Fi attack tool has increased awareness of the inherent insecurity of unprotected HTTP connections.   Firesheep allows an attacker connected to the local network to monitor the web sessions of other users on that network. As experts proclaimed in reaction to Firesheep, the best solution to the problem is to use TLS/SSL for all connections to web sites, including the home page.  Learn how to avoid these attacks.     Choosing the Right Active Directory Bridge Solution In this Quest Software white paper, see how to find the right Active Directory bridge for your diverse IT environment.   Cost/Benefit Case for Enterprise Warehouse Solutions Data warehousing has emerged as one of the IT world’s fastest growth areas. Demand for high-quality, current information and for tools to interpret and exploit it shows no signs of abating. The report provides an in-depth comparison of three platforms designed for this purpose: IBM Smart Analytics System 7700, Oracle Exadata Database Machine and Teradata’s flagship Active Enterprise Data Warehouse (Active EDW) 6650.  Results are based on input from 46 users of these systems and their recent predecessors, on other industry sources, as well as on research and analysis conducted by the International Technology Group (ITG).   Key Methods for Managing Complex Database Environments There’s no getting around it—your company is responsible for managing multiple database platforms.
