mitigate external threats like hackers by using firewalls and shutting traffic out of the internal network. 2. Why is it a good idea to put shared servers and services on a DMZ when both internal and external users need access? When you have a DMZ there are two firewalls to protect the internal network from external threats. The necessary servers can be placed between the two in order to allow access from either side through strict firewalls while still allowing very little external traffic

awareness of network health, firewall configuration and patch management with deployment. The software is modular and can be configured to meet the needs of the organization in which it supports while minimizing service interruptions which lead to the loss of productivity. Solarwinds offers a multitude of modules that range from configuration management to help desk trend analysis and firewall management. This is a non-platform dependent software solution which can manage firewalls and devices for proper

combined with Traffic Flow Filtering capability data center administrator today use primarily two methods to mitigate attacks once they have been discovered by the NOC; packet filters, and black-hole routing. Packet filters, also referred to as firewall filters or access control lists, are set in the edge routers to rate limit or discard traffic being sent to or from specific IP addresses. Packet filtering in edge routers is useful when you know the cause and the source of DDoS and can apply it

router with an integrated firewall. This is almost exclusively found in residential settings. Keeping to the same architecture, firewalls can be quite complex in their modus operandi. Where basic firewalls work on the first three or four layers of the OSI model, the more complex firewalls operate on all seven levels of the OSI model. Often times accompanying these higher end firewalls, there is what is known as a bastion. A bastion is located on the public side of the firewall and acts as bait for would

information security, they may not be a leader for much longer. Two major security weaknesses have been identified: a hardware configuration problem and an unsound security policy for the firewalls. The company has five servers, a database, one switch, two routers, and a firewall. All of the hardware is behind the firewall except the main router. This router connects directly to the Internet, which is also the connection the commercial division in Chula Vista uses to connect to the headquarters. This

will be narrowed down more to hardware issues. It is very curious that there is no firewall implemented between the commercial division and the Internet. The Defense Department must be routed through Headquarters, but the Commercial department is connected straight to the Internet. This is a significant vulnerability. The second weakness that will be examined is the security policy stating router and firewall rule sets should be evaluated every two years. Such a time span between rule-set evaluations

a sample of some of the common conclusions following a DoS attack. 1. Create a virtual private network (VPN) for authenticated user. 2. Separate authentication an anonymous users on separate servers (some on different subnets). 3. Use firewall rule to close all ports except 80 (HTTP-Hypertext Transfer Protocol) & 443 (HHTPS-Hypertext Transfer Protocol over TLS/SSL). 4. Restrict all anonymous user accounts. 5. Use Kerberos to authenticate computers. 6. Create a list of approved
