  • Detecting and Combating Malicious Email

    • 1st Edition
    • Julie JCH Ryan + 1 more
    • English
    Malicious email is, simply put, email with a malicious purpose. The malicious purpose could be fraud, theft, espionage, or malware injection. The processes by which email execute the malicious activity vary widely, from fully manual (e.g. human-directed) to fully automated. One example of a malicious email is one that contains an attachment which the recipient is directed to open. When the attachment is opened, malicious software is installed on the recipient’s computer. Because malicious email can vary so broadly in form and function, automated detection is only marginally helpful. The education of all users to detect potential malicious email is important to containing the threat and limiting the damage. It is increasingly necessary for all email users to understand how to recognize and combat malicious email. Detecting and Combating Malicious Email describes the different types of malicious email, shows how to differentiate malicious email from benign email, and suggest protective strategies for both personal and enterprise email environments.

  • Elsevier's Dictionary of Cybernyms

    Abbreviations and Acronyms used in Telecommunications, Electronics and Computer Science
    • 1st Edition
    • T.R. Pyper + 1 more
    • English
    This dictionary was produced in response to the rapidly increasing amount of quasi-industrial jargon in the field of information technology, compounded by the fact that these somewhat esoteric terms are often further reduced to acronyms and abbreviations that are seldom explained. Even when they are defined, individual interpretations continue to diverge.Until now the codes have been reproduced in separate (language) publications: there is no universal listing in alphabetical order that covers the English, French, Spanish and German languages. This dictionary sets out the English, French, Spanish and German alternatives as a single, merge-sorted whole. Today, most of the codes have passed into the public domain, simply because they exist in most of the telecommunications systems installed throughout the developed (and developing) world and are largely known to most of those who work in that particular area. However, foreign variants often defy even the most astute observer. This dictionary seeks to clarify this bewildering situation as much as possible. The 26,000 definitions set out here, drawn from some 16,000 individual cybernyms, cover computing, electronics, telecommunications (including intelligent networks and mobile telephony), together with satellite technology and Internet/Web terminology.Annex I lists some of the innumerable file types found in the filing systems of computers using powerful desktop managers and Annex II lists the abbreviations of country names found in universal resource locators (URL).Elsevier's Dictionary of Cybernyms is a useful tool for translators, students, universities and computer enthusiasts.

  • Connecting Microsoft Exchange Server

    • 1st Edition
    • Kieran McCorry
    • English
    Connecting Microsoft Exchange Server covers how to connect Microsoft Exchange server into mixed messaging environments. Exchange has powerful integration capabilities and the ability to integrate with many different messaging systems. It is not always obvious how to even begin an integration project, and it is usually a fairly complex task. This book explores how connections can be made, offers tricks and tips, and warns of potential pitfalls. The content extends from the simple task of connecting an Exchange server to another Exchange server to the complex issues associated with X.400 and SMTP backbones. Direct connections to other third party products such as MS Mail, cc:Mail, Linkage and PROFS are also covered. E-mail is one of the must-have Internet applications. The Internet is driving interest in connecting people together and to information sources. Together, these influences dictate an increased interest in messaging integration, yet skills and expertise in the area are limited and restricted to a relatively small number of experts. This book helps to fill that void by communicating the author's experience gained in a large number of messaging integration projects. Digital/Microsoft Exchange server collaboration: Digital was one of the early adopters of Microsoft Exchange and were part of the ¦Bravehearts¦ -- 40 official customers who ran mission-critical messaging on beta versions of Exchange server. Digital's deployment rate of Exchange server has overtaken Microsoft's in number of seats, and Digital is currently the largest operational Exchange Server implementation in the world. There is no other organization in the world that has more employees involved today in designing and deploying customer implementations of Exchange Server.
