S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) was the result of the collaboration of several hard drive manufactures in order to increase the reliability of hard drives and increase the range of predictability that there would be for hard drive failures. The primary purpose of S.M.A.R.T technology is to allow advanced diagnostics into hard drives at such a level that data loss and other information disasters can be prevented.

Most modern hard drives are equipped with S..M.A.R.T technology which allows to query the status of a hard drives at a very granular level. Using these methods, an organization can avoid hard drive loss for up to 70% (according to current S.M.A.R.T) statistics.

S.M.A.R.T SharePoint is a software application that provides insight to SharePoint servers hard drive status. S.M.A.R.T SharePoint leverages available S.M.A.R.T methods so that you can monitor your SharePoint hard drives so that data disasters can be prevented, mitigating risk for your SharePoint environment. Before any of your critical SharePoint data gets lost, S.M.A.R.T SharePoint will alert you to any problems.

SharePoint Scrubber description
SharePoint Scrubber provides SharePoint Administrators a deletion tool that will ensure that data that is properly disposed of. Often times, there is sensitive data that is stored on your SharePoint machines. This data can be stored at several levels in several formats, the most critical of which to delete when necessary is various backup packages, such as site template packages (.stps), manifest and dump files (from the SharePoint backup utility), or SQL backups.

Data that is stored, however later deleted, is subject to Data Remanence, which is certain fragments of data still existing, and recoverable by using utilities or skillful shell programming.

Most often, these are simplify deleted using standard deletion techniques, which more often than not will just remove references to files or other deletion methods that still allow data retrieval by an interested party.

Scrubbing the data can leverage a variety of algorithms, the four that are currently supported by the SharePoint Scrubber are:

Currently supported algorithms (along with passing specifications)

B. Schneiers / (typically will scrub with 7 data passes)
Fill Zeros / (typically will scrub data with 1 pass)
NAVSOP5239-26 (typically will scrub with 3 data passes)
Peter Gutmann (typically will scrub with 35 data passes)

SharePoint Anti Keylogger description
SharePoint Anti-Keylogger scans, detects and removes keyloggers. SharePoint Anti-Keylogger scans, detects and removes keyloggers.

Keyloggers are becoming commonplace methods for intruders to gain access to unauthorized systems by recording user keystrokes as they occur on the arbitrary machine, or in our case, our SharePoint Portal or Windows SharePoint Services server. Protecting your server from keyloggers is a fairly crucial measure in any security structure, ensuring your full control of your machines without worrying about compromising it to hackers.

Keyloggers can exist on two different levels, both on a hardware and software level. There are a range of available hardware keyloggers, ranging from those which are fairly easily to detect such as those that attach inline between the keyboard cable and those which bind to a port where the keyboard is installed, or those which are placed directly into the keyboard or laptop machine. Retrieving the data from the target machine can vary heavily depending on the application used, which has its own implications.

The most common way is to slip a trojan or other remote access application that allows the user direct access to the machine to query the log generated by the keylogger. Because SharePoint machines are often hooked into MS exchange servers, typically the information can automatically be sent via using email, which is slightly more elegant than the former technique because it lessens the trail detection and gives less evidence to forensic computer analysts.

Securing your SharePoint environment for keylogger is as important as web and network layer security. The SPS AKL is composed of two main modules that help you harden your SharePoint environment, one for detection and another for management. The central processing portions are kept as a windows service that will need to be installed.

Monitoring your server processes is a fairly important part of any security framework, be it for process auditing or just having some sort of agent that will alert you to malicious processes, similar a detection engine with AV software. Monitoring your processes can not only provide insight into providing security for your SharePoint environment, but can also tell you efficiency information such as detecting run-away processes and aggregate task usage.

The fairly limited Windows Snap-In for it (within the task manager), only allows you to monitor and kill tasks, and to promote good process management there should be a method to easily place processes within a whitelist (good processes) and blacklist (bad processes), such as placing the SharePoint SSO service within the whitelist, the gatherer, or any SharePoint related processes that you are using within your farm. Following you can bootstrap other processes that you dont want to be activated and they will be protected by the Sentinel, negating the need to audit them since it would essentially provide real time protection.

The SharePoint Sentinel is a useful program which is meant to enhance visibility and control into running processes on a SharePoint server in order to prevent malicious activity.

Here are some key features of "SharePoint Sentinel":

· Provide control over server processes by invoking two lists, a black and white list, which can provide an administrator tools to regulate processor activity.
· Easy controls to start and halt the SharePoint Sentinel (process protection agent)
· Alerts of malicious processes
· Monitoring log to keep relevant records
