Microsoft provides two versions of its document collaboration and portal framework application, SharePoint: SharePoint Services and SharePoint Portal Server.

There seems to be a lot of confusion in the marketplace about the difference between these products. Because the price is very different, it pays to understand exactly what your organization needs.

As an IT Director, a Project Manager, or an Operations Manager, wouldn't it be great if you could use technology to help you:

• Create more effective teams,
• Streamline information sharing and access, and
• Increase bottom-line revenue?

Denim Group has partnered with the Technelogic Corporation, Microsoft, Gateway, Venali, and Express Information Systems to host a free seminar to discuss how Microsoft portal and collaboration solutions can address employee productivity issues. The Communication and Collaboration Solutions Seminar will feature live demonstrations of real world portal deployments and development solutions that help information workers become more effective and productive.

Location: The Omni San Antonio Hotel, 9821 Colonnade Boulevard
Date: August 31, 2005
Time: 8:30 a.m. - 12 p.m.

Finding and rating vulnerabilities in applications is only a small part of the Threat Modeling process. Threat Modeling is a communication tool. It allows system security personnel to communicate the potential damage of security flaws and to prioritize remediation efforts.

At the San Antonio OWASP Chapter Meeting on August 18, Michael Anderson and Cap Diebel of Denim Group discussed the process of Threat Modeling and why it is important from a business and technical standpoint. If you missed the meeting, you can find their presentation on our website by following the link below.

About the San Antonio Chapter of OWASP: In 2004, Denim Group founded the San Antonio chapter of OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project), an organization dedicated to finding and fighting the causes of insecure software. Denim Group designed the San Antonio OWASP chapter as an open source clearing house for best practices, methodology, and software for its chapter members.
