Microsoft SharePoint Use Models and Security Risks
With the addition of new SharePoint capabilities, collaboration systems offer much more than a repository, and employees are no longer the only users. In addition, the threat landscape is more sophisticated and malicious than ever. With the potential costs of a security incident so substantial, SharePoint security is critical. This white paper examines the increasing risks to SharePoint and offers best practices to ensure optimal security.
The Need for SharePoint Security
SharePoint use is on the increase for team sharing, document management, portal development and other uses. However, many organizations have not deployed SharePoint-specific security, instead relying on security deployed at the endpoints of the network, on servers or on gateways. Given that a large proportion of organizations allow external users to access their SharePoint infrastructure, this leaves them vulnerable to a variety of threats, including malware infections and loss of data. In this white paper, Osterman Research examines the uses and risk to SharePoint.

Threats to SharePoint Healthcare Environments are Increasing
More healthcare organizations are using Microsoft SharePoint to collaborate with employees, caregivers, external providers, and even patients. This white paper by Frost & Sullivan discusses the security risks and outlines best practices to secure the SharePoint environment.
Comparing Leading Email and SharePoint Security Solutions
Osterman Research independently surveyed users of email and SharePoint security products to find out how much time they spent managing different solutions. With this knowledge they calculated a three total cost of ownership (TCO) for four major vendors. Users of Trend Micro had the least amount of administration time and the lowest TCO.
