Featured Solution: Cisco High Availability DataExcellent, comprehensive service and support is important to the long-term success of any network solution. Cisco SMB Support Assistant is designed to meet the needs of small and medium-sized businesses. It is an easy-to-use, cost-effective support program that resolves issues typically encountered by SMBs, ensuring the network stays available and secure. Businesses can get timely diagnostic and troubleshooting tips and advance replacement of parts. A key component to the program is the Cisco SMB Support Assistant Portal, an online secure portfolio of tools that allows customers to recover passwords, access support documentation, perform network health checks, download software patches, and open technical support cases when needed. Cisco IronPort Security Management Appliances (1) Simplifiy security management across Cisco IronPort email and web security products, (2) Deliver centralized reporting, message tracking, and spam quarantine for the email security appliances, (3) Provide centralized web policy management for web security appliances, and (4) Allow for delegated administration of web access policies and custom URL categories. Cisco TrustSec (1) Provides network access controls based on a consistent policy for users, endpoint devices, and networking devices (such as routers and switches), (2) Uses end user, device identity and other information to provide precise security policy controls both at the edge and through the network, (3) Is ideal for organizations that need to control how a user or device is granted access, what security policies endpoint devices must meet, and which resources authorized users may access, and (4) Helps secure data paths in the switching environment with IEEE 802.1AE standard encryption and, with Cisco switching infrastructure, maintains control so that critical security applications such as firewalls, intrusion prevention, and content inspection can retain visibility into data streams It's obviously undesirable for an unknown and untrusted person to be able to execute commands on your server machines. There are two main classifications of the severity of this problem: normal user access, and administrator access. A normal user can do a number of things on a system (such as read files, mail them to other people, etc.) that an attacker should not be able to do. This might, then, be all the access that an attacker needs. On the other hand, an attacker might wish to make configuration changes to a host (perhaps changing its IP address, putting a start-up script in place to cause the machine to shut down every time it's started, or something similar). In this case, the attacker will need to gain administrator privileges on the host. A passive attack is characterized by the interception of messages without modification. There is no change to the network data or systems. The message itself may be read or its occurrence may simply be logged. Identifying the communicating parties and noting the duration and frequency of messages can be of significant value in itself. From this knowledge certain deductions or inferences may be drawn regarding the likely subject matter, the urgency or the implications of messages being sent. This type of activity is termed traffic analysis. Because there may be no evidence that an attack has taken place, prevention is a priority. Traffic analysis, however, may be a legitimate management activity because of the need to collect data showing usage of services, for instance. Some interception of traffic may also be considered necessary by governments and law enforcement agencies interested in the surveillance of criminal, terrorist and other activities. These agencies may have privileged physical access to sites and computer systems. Attacks on enterprise and service provider networks are increasing at an unprecedented rate. According to security experts, attacks are no longer measured by the number of events per week, but by the number of events that occur simultaneously. To protect your customers as well as your business investments, your organization must be able to maintain network security, and to react quickly if attacked. Juniper Networks Security Assessment and Risk Mitigation service can help you reduce network vulnerabilities, prevent attacks, and mitigate the disruptions they cause. Ensure that systems are kept up-to-date with patches. As a result of security testing, it may become necessary to patch many systems. Applying patches in a timely manner can sharply reduce the vulnerability exposure of an organization. Organizations should centralize their patching efforts so as to ensure that more systems are patched as quickly as possible and immediately tested. A one-time password (OTP) is a password that is only valid for a single login session or transaction. OTPs avoid a number of shortcomings that are associated with traditional (static) passwords. The most important shortcoming that is addressed by OTPs is that, in contrast to static passwords, they are not vulnerable to replay attacks. This means that, if a potential intruder manages to record an OTP that was already used to log into a service or to conduct a transaction, he will not be able to abuse it since it will be no longer valid. Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances also provide (1) Adaptable architecture for rapid and customized security services deployment, (2) Advanced intrusion prevention services that defend against a broad range of threats, and (3) Highly secure remote access and unified communications to enhance mobility, collaboration, and productivity. The configuration files tend to be hundreds of pages long, and full of confidential information such as passwords, and addresses. The solution here is to ask network administrators to provide output of a script or single command after removing confidential information. This way, the auditor doesn't need to read through a long printout, and can focus only on important information. |
