Выполнена модернизация существующей территориально-распределённой (межфилиальной) сети передачи данных банка, объединяющей головной офис с шестью областными управлениями (филиалами). Выведено из эксплуатации устаревшее и неподдерживаемое оборудование.\r\n\r\nОдной из вновь созданных систем стала система виртуализации вычислительных ресурсов. Система представляет из себя катастрофоустойчивый кластер "vSphere Metro Storage Cluster (vMSC)" на основе ПО от VMware и DataCore, организованный между двумя географически-разнесёнными площадками ЦОД банка. Внедрение системы позволило значительно повысить эффективность использования серверных ресурсов организации, т.к. теперь можно параллельно запускать несколько экземпляров операционных систем с приложениями на каждом сервере с процессорной архитектурой x86/x64. Кроме того, виртуализация вычислительных ресурсов помогла ИТ-подразделению банка ускорить процесс развёртывания бизнес-приложений, повысить их доступность, а также дала возможность автоматизировать многие процессы, в результате чего ИТ-инфраструктура предприятия стала более управляемой и экономичной. Значимым также является и тот факт, что теперь все важные виртуализированные бизнес-приложения банка и относящиеся к ним данные синхронно реплицируются между площадками и могут быть с минимальным простоем (порядка нескольких минут) перезапущены на работоспособной стороне даже в случае полной потери любой из площадок ЦОД банка.\r\n\r\nВажной составной частью модернизированной ИТ-инфраструктуры банка является система резервного копирования и архивирования данных, дающая возможность централизовать все процессы, связанные с хранением и архивацией данных в организации. Внедрённое решение построено на базе ПО от VERITAS - унифицированной платформе, позволяющей организовать многоуровневую непрерывную защиту данных путём создания резервных копий как физических, так и виртуальных систем со значительным ускорением процессов резервирования данных. Для обеспечения максимальной надёжности хранения резервных копий важных данных система выполняет их автоматическое копирование на резервную площадку.\r\n\r\nСпециалистам АМТ-ГРУП также предстояло решить задачу по повышению доступности ИТ-сервисов, снижения затрат на обслуживание, в том числе и за счет автоматизации управления элементами ИТ-инфраструктуры. Для достижения этих целей в проект были включены несколько систем, предназначенных для управления элементами ИТ-инфраструктуры и автоматизации ИТ-процессов. Решение по управлению ИТ-инфраструктурой включает продукты, обеспечивающие управление IP-адресным пространством, сетевым оборудованием, производительностью сетевого оборудования и каналов связи, мониторингом состояния ИТ-сервисов.\r\n\r\nВ качестве платформы по управлению ИТ-процессами был выбран продукт Symantec Service Desk. Запуск системы и автоматизация ключевых ИТ-процессов в системе ServiceDesk в роли автоматизированного средства реагирования на инциденты и устранения неполадок уже сейчас позволяет контролировать работы по облуживанию ИТ-инфраструктуры банка, сократить время закрытия проблем и оптимизировать затраты на поддержание ключевых бизнес-сервисов. Наибольший эффект сокращения расходов по обслуживанию бизнес-систем, а также контроль за их доступностью дает использование комплекса систем управления и мониторинга на базе продукта CA Spectrum. В качестве решения по управлению IP-адресным пространством был выбран продукт Infoblox DDI, позволяющий обеспечить надежную работу базовых сетевых сервисов и содержащим аппаратную систему защиты от всевозможных DNS атак на сервис DNS из сети Интернет.\r\n\r\nПри решении ИТ-задач одним из ключевых для банка является вопрос обеспечения информационной безопасности – защиты обрабатываемой информации и служебной инфраструктуры. В рамках проекта был применен подход Defense-in-depth, внедрены современные средства защиты и практики их использования. Кроме того, существенную роль в проекте имела работа по усовершенствованию процессов и техник эксплуатации ИТ-систем с учетом потребности по обеспечению интеграции с ними решений по защите информации. В результате работ по проекту в банке были существенно улучшены возможности инфраструктуры по контролю и мониторингу, а также активному противодействию вредоносной активности.\r\n\r\nВсе работы, производимые специалистами АМТ-ГРУП, осуществлялись в строгом соответствии с заранее подготовленными планами работ, что позволило выполнить все поставленные задачи без прерывания деятельности подразделений банка. На текущий момент все модернизированные/созданные в рамках проекта системы переданы в опытную эксплуатацию.\r\n\r\nПроведенная комплексная модернизация ИТ-инфраструктуры позволила банку решить задачу повышения уровня зрелости процессов ИТ, привести этот уровень в соответствие с принятыми в финансовой отрасли нормами и требованиями стандарта CoBIT 4.1. В результате выполненных работ банк получил современную ИТ-инфраструктуру, построенную на принципах совместимости, масштабируемости, отказоустойчивости и управляемости.","alias":"vmware-vspherer-metro-storage-cluster-vmsc-dlja-virtualizacii-vychislitelnykh-resursov","roi":0,"seo":{"title":"VMware vSphere® METRO STORAGE CLUSTER (vMSC) для виртуализации вычислительных ресурсов","keywords":"банка, систем, данных, ИТ-инфраструктуры, также, ресурсов, система, управлению","description":"Специалисты АМТ- ГРУП провели комплексную модернизацию и создали двенадцать новых автоматизированных систем, что позволило повысить эффективность и безопасность функционирования информационной инфраструктуры банка.

Для обеспечения максимальной надёжности хранения резервных копий важных данных система выполняет их автоматическое копирование на резервную площадку.\r\n\r\nСпециалистам АМТ-ГРУП также предстояло решить задачу по повышению доступности ИТ-сервисов, снижения затрат на обслуживание, в том числе и за счет автоматизации управления элементами ИТ-инфраструктуры. Для достижения этих целей в проект были включены несколько систем, предназначенных для управления элементами ИТ-инфраструктуры и автоматизации ИТ-процессов. Решение по управлению ИТ-инфраструктурой включает продукты, обеспечивающие управление IP-адресным пространством, сетевым оборудованием, производительностью сетевого оборудования и каналов связи, мониторингом состояния ИТ-сервисов.\r\n\r\nВ качестве платформы по управлению ИТ-процессами был выбран продукт Symantec Service Desk. Запуск системы и автоматизация ключевых ИТ-процессов в системе ServiceDesk в роли автоматизированного средства реагирования на инциденты и устранения неполадок уже сейчас позволяет контролировать работы по облуживанию ИТ-инфраструктуры банка, сократить время закрытия проблем и оптимизировать затраты на поддержание ключевых бизнес-сервисов. Наибольший эффект сокращения расходов по обслуживанию бизнес-систем, а также контроль за их доступностью дает использование комплекса систем управления и мониторинга на базе продукта CA Spectrum. В качестве решения по управлению IP-адресным пространством был выбран продукт Infoblox DDI, позволяющий обеспечить надежную работу базовых сетевых сервисов и содержащим аппаратную систему защиты от всевозможных DNS атак на сервис DNS из сети Интернет.\r\n\r\nПри решении ИТ-задач одним из ключевых для банка является вопрос обеспечения информационной безопасности – защиты обрабатываемой информации и служебной инфраструктуры. В рамках проекта был применен подход Defense-in-depth, внедрены современные средства защиты и практики их использования. Кроме того, существенную роль в проекте имела работа по усовершенствованию процессов и техник эксплуатации ИТ-систем с учетом потребности по обеспечению интеграции с ними решений по защите информации. В результате работ по проекту в банке были существенно улучшены возможности инфраструктуры по контролю и мониторингу, а также активному противодействию вредоносной активности.\r\n\r\nВсе работы, производимые специалистами АМТ-ГРУП, осуществлялись в строгом соответствии с заранее подготовленными планами работ, что позволило выполнить все поставленные задачи без прерывания деятельности подразделений банка. На текущий момент все модернизированные/созданные в рамках проекта системы переданы в опытную эксплуатацию.\r\n\r\nПроведенная комплексная модернизация ИТ-инфраструктуры позволила банку решить задачу повышения уровня зрелости процессов ИТ, привести этот уровень в соответствие с принятыми в финансовой отрасли нормами и требованиями стандарта CoBIT 4.1. В результате выполненных работ банк получил современную ИТ-инфраструктуру, построенную на принципах совместимости, масштабируемости, отказоустойчивости и управляемости."},"deal_info":"","user":{"id":4195,"title":"Hidden user","logoURL":"https://roi4cio.com/uploads/roi/company/hidden_user.jpg","alias":"skrytyi-polzovatel","address":"","roles":[],"description":"User Information is confidential ","companyTypes":[],"products":{},"vendoredProductsCount":0,"suppliedProductsCount":0,"supplierImplementations":[],"vendorImplementations":[],"userImplementations":[],"userImplementationsCount":97,"supplierImplementationsCount":0,"vendorImplementationsCount":0,"vendorPartnersCount":0,"supplierPartnersCount":0,"b4r":0,"categories":{},"companyUrl":"","countryCodes":[],"certifications":[],"isSeller":false,"isSupplier":false,"isVendor":false,"seo":{"title":"Hidden user","keywords":"Hidden, user, User, Information, confidential","description":"User Information is confidential ","og:title":"Hidden user","og:description":"User Information is confidential ","og:image":"https://roi4cio.com/uploads/roi/company/hidden_user.jpg"},"eventUrl":""},"supplier":{"id":630,"title":"AMT Group Russia","logoURL":"https://roi4cio.com/uploads/roi/company/AMT_Group.gif","alias":"amt-grup-rossija","address":"","roles":[],"description":"Company AMT Group has worked for 21 years at the Russian system integration market.

These configurations are commonly referred to as stretched storage clusters or metro storage clusters and are implemented in environments where disaster and downtime avoidance is a key requirement. This best practices document was developed to provide additional insight and information for operation of a vMSC infrastructure in conjunction with VMware vSphere. This paper explains how vSphere handles specific failure scenarios, and it discusses various design considerations and operational procedures.\r\nvMSC infrastructures are implemented with a goal of reaping the same benefits that high-availability clusters provide to a local site, in a geographically dispersed model with two data centers in different locations.\r\nA vMSC infrastructure is essentially a stretched cluster. The architecture is built on the premise of extending what is defined as “local” in terms of network and storage to enable these subsystems to span geographies, presenting a single and common base infrastructure set of resources to the vSphere cluster at both sites.\r\nIt in essence stretches storage and the network between sites.\r\nThe primary benefit of a stretched cluster model is that it enables fully active and workload-balanced data centers to be used to their full potential while gaining the capability to migrate virtual machines (VMs) with VMware vSphere vMotion®, and VMware vSphere Storage vMotion®, between sites to enable on-demand and nonintrusive mobility of workloads. The capability of a stretched cluster to provide this active balancing of resources should always be the primary design and implementation goal. Although often associated with disaster recovery, vMSC infrastructures are not recommended as primary solutions for pure disaster recovery.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Stretched cluster solutions offer the following benefits:</span>\r\n•<span style=\"white-space:pre\">\t</span>Workload mobility\r\n•<span style=\"white-space:pre\">\t</span>Cross-site automated load balancing\r\n•<span style=\"white-space:pre\">\t</span>Enhanced downtime avoidance\r\n•<span style=\"white-space:pre\">\t</span>Disaster avoidance\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Technical Requirements and Constraints</span>\r\n•<span style=\"white-space:pre\">\t</span>Storage connectivity using Fibre Channel, iSCSI, NFS, and FCoE is supported.\r\n•<span style=\"white-space:pre\">\t</span>The maximum supported network latency between sites for the VMware ESXi™ management networks is 10ms round-trip time (RTT).\r\n•<span style=\"white-space:pre\">\t</span>vSphere vMotion, and vSphere Storage vMotion, supports a maximum of 150ms latency as of vSphere 6.0, but this is not intended for stretched clustering usage.\r\n•<span style=\"white-space:pre\">\t</span>The maximum supported latency for synchronous storage replication links is 10ms RTT. Refer to documentation from the storage vendor because the maximum tolerated latency is lower in most cases.\r\nThe most commonly supported maximum RTT is 5ms.\r\n•<span style=\"white-space:pre\">\t</span>The ESXi vSphere vMotion network has a redundant network link minimum of 250Mbps.\r\nThe storage requirements are slightly more complex. A vSphere Metro Storage Cluster requires what is in effect a single storage subsystem that spans both sites. In this design, a given datastore must be accessible—that is, be able to be read and be written to—simultaneously from both sites. Further, when problems occur, the ESXi hosts must be able to continue to access datastores from either array transparently and with no impact to ongoing storage operations.\r\nThis precludes traditional synchronous replication solutions because they create a primary–secondary\r\nrelationship between the active (primary) LUN where data is being accessed and the secondary LUN that is receiving replication. To access the secondary LUN, replication is stopped, or reversed, and the LUN is made visible to hosts.

Fully virtualized software is not installed in the traditional sense, although the end-user at first glance can not see it, because the virtualized software works just as normal. The software in the execution process works just as if it interacted with the operating system directly and with all its resources, but can be isolated or executed in a sandbox with different levels of restriction.\r\nModern operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows and Linux, can include limited software virtualization. For example, Windows 7 has Windows XP mode that allows you to run Windows XP software on Windows 7 without any changes.\r\nUser session virtualization is a newer version of desktop virtualization that works at the operating system level. While normal virtualization of the desktop allows an operating system to be run by virtualizing the hardware of the desktop, RDS and App-V allow for the virtualization of the applications. User session virtualization lies between the two.\r\nA desktop has an operating system loaded on the base hardware. This can be either physical or virtual. The user session virtualization keeps track of all changes to the operating system that a user might make by encapsulating the configuration changes and associating them to the user account. This allows the specific changes to be applied to the underlying operating system without actually changing it. This allows several users to have completely different operating system configurations applied to base operating system installation.\r\nIf you are in a distributed desktop environment and there are local file servers available at each location, you can deploy virtualized user sessions in the form of redirected folders and roaming profiles.","materialsDescription":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Understanding application virtualization</span>\r\nApplication virtualization technology isolates applications from the underlying operating system and from other applications to increase compatibility and manageability. This application virtualization technology enables applications to be streamed from a centralized location into an isolation environment on the target device where they will execute. The application files, configuration, and settings are copied to the target device and the application execution at run time is controlled by the application virtualization layer. When executed, the application run time believes that it is interfacing directly with the operating system when, in fact, it is interfacing with a virtualization environment that proxies all requests to the operating system.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Understanding session virtualization</span>\r\nSession virtualization uses application streaming to deliver applications to hosting servers in the datacenter. The Application then connects the user to the server. The application then executes entirely on the server. The user interacts with the application remotely by sending mouse-clicks and keystrokes to the server. The server then responds by sending screen updates back to the user’s device. Whereas application virtualization is limited to Windows-based operating systems, session virtualization allows any user on any operating system to access any application delivered by IT. As a result, the application enables Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android devices to run any applications using session virtualization. Furthermore, session virtualization leverages server-side processing power which liberates IT from the endless cycle of PC hardware refreshes which are typically needed to support application upgrades when using traditional application deployment methods."}],"characteristics":[],"concurentProducts":[],"jobRoles":[],"organizationalFeatures":[],"complementaryCategories":[],"solutions":[],"materials":[],"useCases":[],"best_practices":[],"values":[],"implementations":[]},{"id":2078,"logo":false,"scheme":false,"title":"Veritas Backup Exec","vendorVerified":0,"rating":"1.00","implementationsCount":2,"suppliersCount":0,"alias":"veritas-backup-exec","companyTypes":[],"description":"<p>Veritas Backup Exec is a data protection software product that supports virtual, physical and cloud platforms.

Recently, Data Protection and Recovery Software market are disrupted by innovative technologies such as server virtualization, disk-based backup, and cloud services where emerging players are playing an important role. Tier one players such as IBM, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, EMC Corporation, Symantec Corporation and Microsoft Corporation are also moving towards these technologies through partnerships and acquisitions.\r\nThe major factor driving data protection and recovery software market is the high adoption of cloud-based services and technologies. Many organizations are moving towards the cloud to reduce their operational expenses and to provide real-time access to their employees. However, increased usage of the cloud has increased the risk of data loss and data theft and unauthorized access to confidential information, which increases the demand for data protection and recovery solution suites.","materialsDescription":" \r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What is Data recovery?</span>\r\nData recovery is a process of salvaging (retrieving) inaccessible, lost, corrupted, damaged or formatted data from secondary storage, removable media or files, when the data stored in them cannot be accessed in a normal way. The data is most often salvaged from storage media such as internal or external hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), USB flash drives, magnetic tapes, CDs, DVDs, RAID subsystems, and other electronic devices. Recovery may be required due to physical damage to the storage devices or logical damage to the file system that prevents it from being mounted by the host operating system (OS).\r\nThe most common data recovery scenario involves an operating system failure, malfunction of a storage device, logical failure of storage devices, accidental damage or deletion, etc. (typically, on a single-drive, single-partition, single-OS system), in which case the ultimate goal is simply to copy all important files from the damaged media to another new drive. This can be easily accomplished using a Live CD or DVD by booting directly from a ROM instead of the corrupted drive in question. Many Live CDs or DVDs provide a means to mount the system drive and backup drives or removable media, and to move the files from the system drive to the backup media with a file manager or optical disc authoring software. Such cases can often be mitigated by disk partitioning and consistently storing valuable data files (or copies of them) on a different partition from the replaceable OS system files.\r\nAnother scenario involves a drive-level failure, such as a compromised file system or drive partition, or a hard disk drive failure. In any of these cases, the data is not easily read from the media devices. Depending on the situation, solutions involve repairing the logical file system, partition table or master boot record, or updating the firmware or drive recovery techniques ranging from software-based recovery of corrupted data, hardware- and software-based recovery of damaged service areas (also known as the hard disk drive's "firmware"), to hardware replacement on a physically damaged drive which allows for extraction of data to a new drive. If a drive recovery is necessary, the drive itself has typically failed permanently, and the focus is rather on a one-time recovery, salvaging whatever data can be read.\r\nIn a third scenario, files have been accidentally "deleted" from a storage medium by the users. Typically, the contents of deleted files are not removed immediately from the physical drive; instead, references to them in the directory structure are removed, and thereafter space the deleted data occupy is made available for later data overwriting. In the mind of end users, deleted files cannot be discoverable through a standard file manager, but the deleted data still technically exists on the physical drive. In the meantime, the original file contents remain, often in a number of disconnected fragments, and may be recoverable if not overwritten by other data files.\r\nThe term "data recovery" is also used in the context of forensic applications or espionage, where data which have been encrypted or hidden, rather than damaged, are recovered. Sometimes data present in the computer gets encrypted or hidden due to reasons like virus attack which can only be recovered by some computer forensic experts.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What is a backup?</span>\r\nA backup, or data backup, or the process of backing up, refers to the copying into an archive file of computer data that is already in secondary storage—so that it may be used to restore the original after a data loss event. The verb form is "back up" (a phrasal verb), whereas the noun and adjective form is "backup".\r\nBackups have two distinct purposes. The primary purpose is to recover data after its loss, be it by data deletion or corruption. Data loss can be a common experience of computer users; a 2008 survey found that 66% of respondents had lost files on their home PC. The secondary purpose of backups is to recover data from an earlier time, according to a user-defined data retention policy, typically configured within a backup application for how long copies of data are required. Though backups represent a simple form of disaster recovery and should be part of any disaster recovery plan, backups by themselves should not be considered a complete disaster recovery plan. One reason for this is that not all backup systems are able to reconstitute a computer system or other complex configuration such as a computer cluster, active directory server, or database server by simply restoring data from a backup.\r\nSince a backup system contains at least one copy of all data considered worth saving, the data storage requirements can be significant. Organizing this storage space and managing the backup process can be a complicated undertaking. A data repository model may be used to provide structure to the storage. Nowadays, there are many different types of data storage devices that are useful for making backups. There are also many different ways in which these devices can be arranged to provide geographic redundancy, data security, and portability.\r\nBefore data are sent to their storage locations, they are selected, extracted, and manipulated. Many different techniques have been developed to optimize the backup procedure. These include optimizations for dealing with open files and live data sources as well as compression, encryption, and de-duplication, among others. Every backup scheme should include dry runs that validate the reliability of the data being backed up. It is important to recognize the limitations and human factors involved in any backup scheme."}],"characteristics":[],"concurentProducts":[],"jobRoles":[],"organizationalFeatures":[],"complementaryCategories":[],"solutions":[],"materials":[],"useCases":[],"best_practices":[],"values":[],"implementations":[]}],"countries":[{"id":109,"title":"Kyrgyzstan","name":"KGZ"},{"id":180,"title":"Russia","name":"RUS"}],"startDate":"0000-00-00","endDate":"0000-00-00","dealDate":"0000-00-00","price":0,"status":"finished","statusLabel":"Finished","isImplementation":true,"isAgreement":false,"confirmed":1,"implementationDetails":{"businessObjectives":{"id":14,"title":"Business objectives","translationKey":"businessObjectives","options":[{"id":4,"title":"Reduce Costs"},{"id":6,"title":"Ensure Security and Business Continuity"},{"id":10,"title":"Ensure Compliance"},{"id":307,"title":"Enhance Competitive Ability"}]},"businessProcesses":{"id":11,"title":"Business process","translationKey":"businessProcesses","options":[{"id":175,"title":"Aging IT infrastructure"}]}},"categories":[{"id":331,"title":"Network Management Software","alias":"network-management-software","description":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Network management software</span> is software that is used to provision, discover, monitor and maintain computer networks. \r\nWith the expansion of the world wide web and the Internet, computer networks have become very large and complex, making them impossible to manage manually. In response, a suite of network management software was developed to help reduce the burden of managing the growing complexity of computer networks. \r\nNetwork management software usually collects information about network devices (which are called Nodes) using protocols like SNMP, ICMP, CDP etc. This information is then presented to network administrators in an easy to understand and accessible manner to help them quickly identify and remediate problems. \r\nSome advanced network control software may rectify network problems automatically.

Fully virtualized software is not installed in the traditional sense, although the end-user at first glance can not see it, because the virtualized software works just as normal. The software in the execution process works just as if it interacted with the operating system directly and with all its resources, but can be isolated or executed in a sandbox with different levels of restriction.\r\nModern operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows and Linux, can include limited software virtualization. For example, Windows 7 has Windows XP mode that allows you to run Windows XP software on Windows 7 without any changes.\r\nUser session virtualization is a newer version of desktop virtualization that works at the operating system level. While normal virtualization of the desktop allows an operating system to be run by virtualizing the hardware of the desktop, RDS and App-V allow for the virtualization of the applications. User session virtualization lies between the two.\r\nA desktop has an operating system loaded on the base hardware. This can be either physical or virtual. The user session virtualization keeps track of all changes to the operating system that a user might make by encapsulating the configuration changes and associating them to the user account. This allows the specific changes to be applied to the underlying operating system without actually changing it. This allows several users to have completely different operating system configurations applied to base operating system installation.\r\nIf you are in a distributed desktop environment and there are local file servers available at each location, you can deploy virtualized user sessions in the form of redirected folders and roaming profiles.","materialsDescription":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Understanding application virtualization</span>\r\nApplication virtualization technology isolates applications from the underlying operating system and from other applications to increase compatibility and manageability. This application virtualization technology enables applications to be streamed from a centralized location into an isolation environment on the target device where they will execute. The application files, configuration, and settings are copied to the target device and the application execution at run time is controlled by the application virtualization layer. When executed, the application run time believes that it is interfacing directly with the operating system when, in fact, it is interfacing with a virtualization environment that proxies all requests to the operating system.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Understanding session virtualization</span>\r\nSession virtualization uses application streaming to deliver applications to hosting servers in the datacenter. The Application then connects the user to the server. The application then executes entirely on the server. The user interacts with the application remotely by sending mouse-clicks and keystrokes to the server. The server then responds by sending screen updates back to the user’s device. Whereas application virtualization is limited to Windows-based operating systems, session virtualization allows any user on any operating system to access any application delivered by IT. As a result, the application enables Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android devices to run any applications using session virtualization. Furthermore, session virtualization leverages server-side processing power which liberates IT from the endless cycle of PC hardware refreshes which are typically needed to support application upgrades when using traditional application deployment methods."},{"id":46,"title":"Data Protection and Recovery Software","alias":"data-protection-and-recovery-software","description":"Data protection and recovery software provide data backup, integrity and security for data backups and it enables timely, reliable and secure backup of data from a host device to destination device. Recently, Data Protection and Recovery Software market are disrupted by innovative technologies such as server virtualization, disk-based backup, and cloud services where emerging players are playing an important role. Tier one players such as IBM, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, EMC Corporation, Symantec Corporation and Microsoft Corporation are also moving towards these technologies through partnerships and acquisitions.\r\nThe major factor driving data protection and recovery software market is the high adoption of cloud-based services and technologies. Many organizations are moving towards the cloud to reduce their operational expenses and to provide real-time access to their employees. However, increased usage of the cloud has increased the risk of data loss and data theft and unauthorized access to confidential information, which increases the demand for data protection and recovery solution suites.","materialsDescription":" \r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What is Data recovery?</span>\r\nData recovery is a process of salvaging (retrieving) inaccessible, lost, corrupted, damaged or formatted data from secondary storage, removable media or files, when the data stored in them cannot be accessed in a normal way. The data is most often salvaged from storage media such as internal or external hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), USB flash drives, magnetic tapes, CDs, DVDs, RAID subsystems, and other electronic devices. Recovery may be required due to physical damage to the storage devices or logical damage to the file system that prevents it from being mounted by the host operating system (OS).\r\nThe most common data recovery scenario involves an operating system failure, malfunction of a storage device, logical failure of storage devices, accidental damage or deletion, etc. (typically, on a single-drive, single-partition, single-OS system), in which case the ultimate goal is simply to copy all important files from the damaged media to another new drive. This can be easily accomplished using a Live CD or DVD by booting directly from a ROM instead of the corrupted drive in question. Many Live CDs or DVDs provide a means to mount the system drive and backup drives or removable media, and to move the files from the system drive to the backup media with a file manager or optical disc authoring software. Such cases can often be mitigated by disk partitioning and consistently storing valuable data files (or copies of them) on a different partition from the replaceable OS system files.\r\nAnother scenario involves a drive-level failure, such as a compromised file system or drive partition, or a hard disk drive failure. In any of these cases, the data is not easily read from the media devices. Depending on the situation, solutions involve repairing the logical file system, partition table or master boot record, or updating the firmware or drive recovery techniques ranging from software-based recovery of corrupted data, hardware- and software-based recovery of damaged service areas (also known as the hard disk drive's "firmware"), to hardware replacement on a physically damaged drive which allows for extraction of data to a new drive. If a drive recovery is necessary, the drive itself has typically failed permanently, and the focus is rather on a one-time recovery, salvaging whatever data can be read.\r\nIn a third scenario, files have been accidentally "deleted" from a storage medium by the users. Typically, the contents of deleted files are not removed immediately from the physical drive; instead, references to them in the directory structure are removed, and thereafter space the deleted data occupy is made available for later data overwriting. In the mind of end users, deleted files cannot be discoverable through a standard file manager, but the deleted data still technically exists on the physical drive. In the meantime, the original file contents remain, often in a number of disconnected fragments, and may be recoverable if not overwritten by other data files.\r\nThe term "data recovery" is also used in the context of forensic applications or espionage, where data which have been encrypted or hidden, rather than damaged, are recovered. Sometimes data present in the computer gets encrypted or hidden due to reasons like virus attack which can only be recovered by some computer forensic experts.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What is a backup?</span>\r\nA backup, or data backup, or the process of backing up, refers to the copying into an archive file of computer data that is already in secondary storage—so that it may be used to restore the original after a data loss event. The verb form is "back up" (a phrasal verb), whereas the noun and adjective form is "backup".\r\nBackups have two distinct purposes. The primary purpose is to recover data after its loss, be it by data deletion or corruption. Data loss can be a common experience of computer users; a 2008 survey found that 66% of respondents had lost files on their home PC. The secondary purpose of backups is to recover data from an earlier time, according to a user-defined data retention policy, typically configured within a backup application for how long copies of data are required. Though backups represent a simple form of disaster recovery and should be part of any disaster recovery plan, backups by themselves should not be considered a complete disaster recovery plan. One reason for this is that not all backup systems are able to reconstitute a computer system or other complex configuration such as a computer cluster, active directory server, or database server by simply restoring data from a backup.\r\nSince a backup system contains at least one copy of all data considered worth saving, the data storage requirements can be significant. Organizing this storage space and managing the backup process can be a complicated undertaking. A data repository model may be used to provide structure to the storage. Nowadays, there are many different types of data storage devices that are useful for making backups. There are also many different ways in which these devices can be arranged to provide geographic redundancy, data security, and portability.\r\nBefore data are sent to their storage locations, they are selected, extracted, and manipulated. Many different techniques have been developed to optimize the backup procedure. These include optimizations for dealing with open files and live data sources as well as compression, encryption, and de-duplication, among others. Every backup scheme should include dry runs that validate the reliability of the data being backed up. It is important to recognize the limitations and human factors involved in any backup scheme."}],"additionalInfo":{"budgetNotExceeded":"","functionallyTaskAssignment":"","projectWasPut":"","price":0,"source":{"url":"http://www.amt.ru/web/ru/arhiv/-/asset_publisher/yxdwXflc0xp2/content/amt-grup-modernizirovala-it-infrastrukturu-nacional-nogo-banka-kyrgyzskoj-respubliki?inheritRedirect=false&redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amt.ru%2Fweb%2Fru%2Farhiv%3Fp_p_id%3D101_INSTANCE_yxdwXflc0xp2%26p_p_lifecycle%3D0%26p_p_state%3Dnormal%26p_p_mode%3Dview%26p_p_col_id%3Dcolumn-1%26p_p_col_count%3D1%26_101_INSTANCE_yxdwXflc0xp2_advancedSearch%3Dfalse%26_101_INSTANCE_yxdwXflc0xp2_keywords%3D%26_101_INSTANCE_yxdwXflc0xp2_delta%3D20%26p_r_p_564233524_resetCur%3Dfalse%26_101_INSTANCE_yxdwXflc0xp2_cur%3D4%26_101_INSTANCE_yxdwXflc0xp2_andOperator%3Dtrue","title":"Supplier's web site"}},"comments":[],"referencesCount":0},{"id":428,"title":"TrapX DeceptionGrid Platform for financial industry","description":"<span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; \">Attackers Target Authentication Data</span>\r\n<span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; \">Project Background - a Technology Evaluation</span>\r\nOur financial case study focuses on a global insurance institution.

Attackers can never tell what’s real and what’s fake because each Trap is designed to look and behave exactly like your real assets. In addition, Traps can also be camouflaged as any specialized IoT and OT devices.\r\n<b>Gain Access to a Powerful Community </b>\r\nFor the first time, defenders can collaborate and share deceptive counter-measures with each other. The DeceptionNet Community enables cyber-security teams to deceive cyber attackers by sharing deception strategies, new types of Traps, third-party connectors, best practices and more.\r\n<b>Deception Tokens </b>\r\nDeception Tokens (lures) appear as ordinary files, scripts and configurations, are embedded within real IT assets to bait and divert attackers away from real high value assets and into the traps.\r\n<b>Active Traps </b>\r\nActive Traps create a stream of false network traffic between deployed Traps to confuse and divert attackers that monitor the network traffic.\r\n<b><ins>Emulated Traps </ins></b>\r\n<b>Medium Interaction Emulated Traps </b>\r\nOur patented emulated traps can be deployed at the largest enterprise scale through automation. You can select from a wide variety of servers, databases, workstations, switches, routers and Traps tailor-made to your organization’s native environment. After a Trap is interacted with and the cyber-attack is thwarted, the Trap will change its shape and location, so the attacker will never learn if something is a Trap or a real asset.\r\n<b>Hundreds of New Industry Templates </b>\r\nThe DeceptionNet Community now offers hundreds of new industry templates (updated regularly) that are available for your use. In addition, our patented medium interaction traps also include expanded templates for specialized devices based on specific industries. These templates include, ATM and SWIFT assets for financial services, Point of Sale (PoS) devices for retail, as well as devices for medical, manufacturing and many more. This allows you to determine if attackers are targeting your specialized devices that are often vulnerable to attack.\r\n<b><ins>FullOS Traps </ins></b>\r\n<b>High Interaction (Full Operating System) Traps </b>\r\nDeceptionGrid enables the provision of full operating system (FullOS) Traps. Our medium interaction Traps automatically extend engaged attackers through our smart deception to our FullOS Traps for the deepest attacker diversion and engagement. FullOS Traps also enable you to clone existing assets – you can completely replicate actual production servers to further deceive attackers."},"eventUrl":"","translationId":1723,"dealDetails":{"avgPartnerDiscount":30,"dealProtection":1,"avgDealSize":30000,"dealSizeCurrency":"","avgDealClosing":3},"roi":null,"price":null,"bonusForReference":null,"templateData":[],"testingArea":"It is required to transfer the customer data to the vendor in order to receive a testing version for 30 days","categories":[{"id":199,"title":"Deception Techniques and Honeypots","alias":"deception-techniques-and-honeypots","description":" Deception technology is an emerging category of cyber security defense. Deception technology products can detect, analyze, and defend against zero-day and advanced attacks, often in real time. They are automated, accurate, and provide insight into malicious activity within internal networks which may be unseen by other types of cyber defense. Deception technology enables a more proactive security posture by seeking to deceive the attackers, detect them and then defeat them, allowing the enterprise to return to normal operations.\r\nDeception technology automates the creation of traps (decoys) and/or lures which are mixed among and within existing IT resources to provide a layer of protection to stop attackers that have penetrated the network. Traps (decoys) are IT assets that either use real licensed operating system software, or are emulations of these devices.\r\nTraps (decoys) which use emulations can also imitate medical devices, automated teller machines (ATMs), retail point of sale systems, switches, routers and much more. Lures are generally real information technology resources (files of varying kinds) which are placed on actual IT assets.\r\nUpon penetrating the network, attackers seek to establish a backdoor and then use this to identify and exfiltrate data and intellectual property. They begin moving laterally through the internal VLANs and almost immediately will "look at" one of the traps (decoys). Interacting with one of these "decoys" will trigger an alert. These alerts are very high probability and almost always coincide to an ongoing attack. The deception is designed to lure the attacker in – the attacker may consider this a worthy asset and continue by injecting malware. Deception technology generally allows for automated static and dynamic analysis of this injected malware and provides these reports through automation to the security operations personnel. Deception technology may also identify, through indicators of compromise (IOC), suspect end-points that are part of the compromise cycle. Automation also allows for an automated memory analysis of the suspect end-point, and then automatically isolating the suspect end-point. Many partner integrations allow for a variety of implementation paths for existing enterprise and government customers.\r\nInternet of things (IoT) devices are not usually scanned by legacy defense in depth cyber defense and remain prime targets for attackers within the network. Deception technology can identify attackers moving laterally into the network from within these devices.\r\nIntegrated turnkey devices that utilize embedded operating systems, but do not allow these operating systems to be scanned or closely protected by embedded end-point or intrusion detection software are also well protected by a deception technology deployment in the same network. Examples include process control systems (SCADA) used in many manufacturing applications on a global basis. Deception technology has been associated with the discovery of Zombie Zero, an attack vector wherein deception technology identified an attacker utilizing malware embedded in barcode readers which were manufactured overseas.\r\nMedical devices are particular vulnerable to cyber attacks within the healthcare networks. As FDA-certified devices they are closed systems and not accessible to standard cyber defense software. Deception technology can surround and protect these devices and identify attackers using these for backdoor placement and data exfiltration. Recent documented cyber attacks on medical devices include x-ray machines, CT scanners, MRI scanners, blood gas analyzers, PACS systems and many more. Networks utilizing these devices can be protected by deception technology. This attack vector, called medical device hijack or medjack, is estimated to have penetrated many hospitals worldwide.\r\nSpecialized deception technology products are now capable of addressing the rise in ransomware. Select products can deceive ransomware into engaging in an attack on a decoy resource, while isolating the infection points and alerting the cyber defense software team.

Deception technology products can detect, analyze, and defend against zero-day and advanced attacks, often in real time. They are automated, accurate, and provide insight into malicious activity within internal networks which may be unseen by other types of cyber defense. Deception technology enables a more proactive security posture by seeking to deceive the attackers, detect them and then defeat them, allowing the enterprise to return to normal operations.\r\nDeception technology automates the creation of traps (decoys) and/or lures which are mixed among and within existing IT resources to provide a layer of protection to stop attackers that have penetrated the network. Traps (decoys) are IT assets that either use real licensed operating system software, or are emulations of these devices.\r\nTraps (decoys) which use emulations can also imitate medical devices, automated teller machines (ATMs), retail point of sale systems, switches, routers and much more. Lures are generally real information technology resources (files of varying kinds) which are placed on actual IT assets.\r\nUpon penetrating the network, attackers seek to establish a backdoor and then use this to identify and exfiltrate data and intellectual property. They begin moving laterally through the internal VLANs and almost immediately will "look at" one of the traps (decoys). Interacting with one of these "decoys" will trigger an alert. These alerts are very high probability and almost always coincide to an ongoing attack. The deception is designed to lure the attacker in – the attacker may consider this a worthy asset and continue by injecting malware. Deception technology generally allows for automated static and dynamic analysis of this injected malware and provides these reports through automation to the security operations personnel. Deception technology may also identify, through indicators of compromise (IOC), suspect end-points that are part of the compromise cycle. Automation also allows for an automated memory analysis of the suspect end-point, and then automatically isolating the suspect end-point. Many partner integrations allow for a variety of implementation paths for existing enterprise and government customers.\r\nInternet of things (IoT) devices are not usually scanned by legacy defense in depth cyber defense and remain prime targets for attackers within the network. Deception technology can identify attackers moving laterally into the network from within these devices.\r\nIntegrated turnkey devices that utilize embedded operating systems, but do not allow these operating systems to be scanned or closely protected by embedded end-point or intrusion detection software are also well protected by a deception technology deployment in the same network. Examples include process control systems (SCADA) used in many manufacturing applications on a global basis. Deception technology has been associated with the discovery of Zombie Zero, an attack vector wherein deception technology identified an attacker utilizing malware embedded in barcode readers which were manufactured overseas.\r\nMedical devices are particular vulnerable to cyber attacks within the healthcare networks. As FDA-certified devices they are closed systems and not accessible to standard cyber defense software. Deception technology can surround and protect these devices and identify attackers using these for backdoor placement and data exfiltration. Recent documented cyber attacks on medical devices include x-ray machines, CT scanners, MRI scanners, blood gas analyzers, PACS systems and many more. Networks utilizing these devices can be protected by deception technology. This attack vector, called medical device hijack or medjack, is estimated to have penetrated many hospitals worldwide.\r\nSpecialized deception technology products are now capable of addressing the rise in ransomware. Select products can deceive ransomware into engaging in an attack on a decoy resource, while isolating the infection points and alerting the cyber defense software team.

Deception technology products can detect, analyze, and defend against zero-day and advanced attacks, often in real time. They are automated, accurate, and provide insight into malicious activity within internal networks which may be unseen by other types of cyber defense. Deception technology enables a more proactive security posture by seeking to deceive the attackers, detect them and then defeat them, allowing the enterprise to return to normal operations.\r\nDeception technology automates the creation of traps (decoys) and/or lures which are mixed among and within existing IT resources to provide a layer of protection to stop attackers that have penetrated the network. Traps (decoys) are IT assets that either use real licensed operating system software, or are emulations of these devices.\r\nTraps (decoys) which use emulations can also imitate medical devices, automated teller machines (ATMs), retail point of sale systems, switches, routers and much more. Lures are generally real information technology resources (files of varying kinds) which are placed on actual IT assets.\r\nUpon penetrating the network, attackers seek to establish a backdoor and then use this to identify and exfiltrate data and intellectual property. They begin moving laterally through the internal VLANs and almost immediately will "look at" one of the traps (decoys). Interacting with one of these "decoys" will trigger an alert. These alerts are very high probability and almost always coincide to an ongoing attack. The deception is designed to lure the attacker in – the attacker may consider this a worthy asset and continue by injecting malware. Deception technology generally allows for automated static and dynamic analysis of this injected malware and provides these reports through automation to the security operations personnel. Deception technology may also identify, through indicators of compromise (IOC), suspect end-points that are part of the compromise cycle. Automation also allows for an automated memory analysis of the suspect end-point, and then automatically isolating the suspect end-point. Many partner integrations allow for a variety of implementation paths for existing enterprise and government customers.\r\nInternet of things (IoT) devices are not usually scanned by legacy defense in depth cyber defense and remain prime targets for attackers within the network. Deception technology can identify attackers moving laterally into the network from within these devices.\r\nIntegrated turnkey devices that utilize embedded operating systems, but do not allow these operating systems to be scanned or closely protected by embedded end-point or intrusion detection software are also well protected by a deception technology deployment in the same network. Examples include process control systems (SCADA) used in many manufacturing applications on a global basis. Deception technology has been associated with the discovery of Zombie Zero, an attack vector wherein deception technology identified an attacker utilizing malware embedded in barcode readers which were manufactured overseas.\r\nMedical devices are particular vulnerable to cyber attacks within the healthcare networks. As FDA-certified devices they are closed systems and not accessible to standard cyber defense software. Deception technology can surround and protect these devices and identify attackers using these for backdoor placement and data exfiltration. Recent documented cyber attacks on medical devices include x-ray machines, CT scanners, MRI scanners, blood gas analyzers, PACS systems and many more. Networks utilizing these devices can be protected by deception technology. This attack vector, called medical device hijack or medjack, is estimated to have penetrated many hospitals worldwide.\r\nSpecialized deception technology products are now capable of addressing the rise in ransomware. Select products can deceive ransomware into engaging in an attack on a decoy resource, while isolating the infection points and alerting the cyber defense software team.

This agency is always interested in improving their cyber defenses and has a large budget dedicated to technology acquisition. Priorities for this agency include the protection of the confidentiality of their ongoing operations, internal processes and their personnel.</span>\r\n<span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; \">This agency conducted a survey of technology vendors and wanted to learn more about deception technology. They were familiar with legacy honeypot technology and found it to be far to expensive to implement both in terms of resources and financial cost. This agency was very cautious and had partitioned several networks within the enterprise. Some were to be used for highly confidential (classified) data only - others for data of lesser confidentiality.</span>\r\n<span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold;\">Advanced Persistent Threat Leverages Lapse in Protocol</span>\r\n<span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; \">DeceptionGrid was placed into operation. Within one week the customer security operations (SOC) team received a High Priority Alert indicating the lateral movement of an advanced threat. The malware was automatically trapped and injected into the sandbox for continued analysis. The attackers had established sophisticated command and control and had bypassed the complete array of existing intrusion detection, firewall, endpoint and perimeter cyber software defense.</span>\r\n<span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; \">A full investigation continued as DeceptionGrid continued to monitor and capture malware movement. The agency's security operations team determined that there was an internal breach in their protocol. A connection, in breach of the agency's operting procedures, was found between their secure network and one of the less secure networks (lower security rating). This breach in protocol enabled the attacker's access .</span>\r\n<span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold;\">Exfiltration of Data Discovered and Halted</span>\r\n<span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; \">The attacker was found to have moved without detection throughout the law enforcement agency network and servers. There were over ten explicit lateral movements made prior to detection by DeceptionGrid. The attacker found and exfiltrated data including the confidential records of agency personnel, their I.D information, their photographs and other highly confidential data. DeceptionGrid enabled the agency to disrupt the attack and then confidently restore normal security protocols.</span>"},"deal_info":"","user":{"id":4195,"title":"Hidden user","logoURL":"https://roi4cio.com/uploads/roi/company/hidden_user.jpg","alias":"skrytyi-polzovatel","address":"","roles":[],"description":"User Information is confidential ","companyTypes":[],"products":{},"vendoredProductsCount":0,"suppliedProductsCount":0,"supplierImplementations":[],"vendorImplementations":[],"userImplementations":[],"userImplementationsCount":97,"supplierImplementationsCount":0,"vendorImplementationsCount":0,"vendorPartnersCount":0,"supplierPartnersCount":0,"b4r":0,"categories":{},"companyUrl":"","countryCodes":[],"certifications":[],"isSeller":false,"isSupplier":false,"isVendor":false,"seo":{"title":"Hidden user","keywords":"Hidden, user, User, Information, confidential","description":"User Information is confidential ","og:title":"Hidden user","og:description":"User Information is confidential ","og:image":"https://roi4cio.com/uploads/roi/company/hidden_user.jpg"},"eventUrl":""},"supplier":{"id":3890,"title":"TrapX","logoURL":"https://roi4cio.com/uploads/roi/company/TrapX.png","alias":"trapx","address":"","roles":[],"description":"TrapX has created a new generation of deception technology that provides real-time breach detection and prevention.

Deception technology products can detect, analyze, and defend against zero-day and advanced attacks, often in real time. They are automated, accurate, and provide insight into malicious activity within internal networks which may be unseen by other types of cyber defense. Deception technology enables a more proactive security posture by seeking to deceive the attackers, detect them and then defeat them, allowing the enterprise to return to normal operations.\r\nDeception technology automates the creation of traps (decoys) and/or lures which are mixed among and within existing IT resources to provide a layer of protection to stop attackers that have penetrated the network. Traps (decoys) are IT assets that either use real licensed operating system software, or are emulations of these devices.\r\nTraps (decoys) which use emulations can also imitate medical devices, automated teller machines (ATMs), retail point of sale systems, switches, routers and much more. Lures are generally real information technology resources (files of varying kinds) which are placed on actual IT assets.\r\nUpon penetrating the network, attackers seek to establish a backdoor and then use this to identify and exfiltrate data and intellectual property. They begin moving laterally through the internal VLANs and almost immediately will "look at" one of the traps (decoys). Interacting with one of these "decoys" will trigger an alert. These alerts are very high probability and almost always coincide to an ongoing attack. The deception is designed to lure the attacker in – the attacker may consider this a worthy asset and continue by injecting malware. Deception technology generally allows for automated static and dynamic analysis of this injected malware and provides these reports through automation to the security operations personnel. Deception technology may also identify, through indicators of compromise (IOC), suspect end-points that are part of the compromise cycle. Automation also allows for an automated memory analysis of the suspect end-point, and then automatically isolating the suspect end-point. Many partner integrations allow for a variety of implementation paths for existing enterprise and government customers.\r\nInternet of things (IoT) devices are not usually scanned by legacy defense in depth cyber defense and remain prime targets for attackers within the network. Deception technology can identify attackers moving laterally into the network from within these devices.\r\nIntegrated turnkey devices that utilize embedded operating systems, but do not allow these operating systems to be scanned or closely protected by embedded end-point or intrusion detection software are also well protected by a deception technology deployment in the same network. Examples include process control systems (SCADA) used in many manufacturing applications on a global basis. Deception technology has been associated with the discovery of Zombie Zero, an attack vector wherein deception technology identified an attacker utilizing malware embedded in barcode readers which were manufactured overseas.\r\nMedical devices are particular vulnerable to cyber attacks within the healthcare networks. As FDA-certified devices they are closed systems and not accessible to standard cyber defense software. Deception technology can surround and protect these devices and identify attackers using these for backdoor placement and data exfiltration. Recent documented cyber attacks on medical devices include x-ray machines, CT scanners, MRI scanners, blood gas analyzers, PACS systems and many more. Networks utilizing these devices can be protected by deception technology. This attack vector, called medical device hijack or medjack, is estimated to have penetrated many hospitals worldwide.\r\nSpecialized deception technology products are now capable of addressing the rise in ransomware.

The company is now experiencing explosive business growth. <span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; \">“We came into the club ERP space as an underdog, but we’ve grown extremely fast,” says Max Longin, a founding partner at the company. “About 70 percent of our total revenue as a company has come in the past year.” Even so, Longin considers this a period of “controlled growth.” “We have not really been marketing ourselves—our new customers have been coming to us through word of mouth. Our concern has been that if our systems are not ready to scale to support more growth, we could compromise performance and our customers’ experience.”</span>\r\nTo address that concern, Club Automation sought to move its SaaS application to a new cloud technology provider.<span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; \"> “We needed more agility and scalability than we had with our previous hybrid-cloud solution, which included a secure but legacy private-cloud environment,” Longin confirms. “We had to scale ahead of required capacity, which was costly and required a lot of planning. We wanted to be more agile, so we could quickly roll out new apps and features for our customers.”</span>\r\nAs Club Automation considered new cloud technologies, it also needed to ensure strong security for its application workloads. <span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; \">“We operate in a cardholder environment, and our solution needs to be PCI compliant and highly secure,” Longin says. “We can’t allow access to our backend systems by anyone other than our developers. We had to eliminate attack surface areas within a cloud environment, and we needed the security to enable our business to move our workloads to the cloud safely.”</span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Why Amazon Web Services </span>\r\nClub Automation decided to move its SaaS application to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, in part because AWS addressed the company’s security and performance challenges. “Previously, we were not set up to support geographic growth, because we only had a few dispersed data centers and we had challenges deploying security quickly and getting solid performance in all areas of the United States,” Longin says. “We looked at Microsoft Azure, but it wasn’t the right solution for our needs,” says Longin. “AWS fit like a glove, and it offers the best services for our business.” Club Automation runs its web servers on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances and runs background jobs on AWS Elastic Beanstalk, a service for deploying and scaling web applications. The company is also using Amazon Aurora, a hosted relational database service, to store and manage customer membership and financial data.\r\nTo safely migrate its SaaS application workloads to AWS, Club Automation chose to work with Barracuda Networks, an AWS Partner Network (APN) Advanced Technology Partner with an AWS Security Competency certification. Barracuda provides firewalls engineered for AWS to help customers deploy a comprehensive security architecture and increase protection against cyberattacks and advanced threats. “I had a previous business relationship with Barracuda and was impressed with the stability of the solutions,” Longin says. Club Automation deployed Barracuda NextGen Firewalls to help secure the company’s AWS environment. The firewalls are installed on an Amazon EC2 instance in the Club Automation Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC). Each firewall sits in a public subnet, protecting against unauthorized access to the private subnets where the cardholder data environment is located.\r\nClub Automation was able to easily purchase and deploy the Barracuda firewalls through the AWS Marketplace, an online store where customers can find software and services from AWS partners so they can build solutions and run their businesses.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">The Benefits</span>\r\n By moving its SaaS application to the AWS Cloud, Club Automation has been able to keep up with its rapid rate of growth. “AWS makes it very easy for us to scale and innovate,” says Longin. “We needed the right platform to enable growth, and we have that. Instead of having to carefully control growth because of platform limitations, we can scale on demand to support an increasing number of clubs with our application. We no longer have any restrictions on how large or fast we grow.” The company now has the agility to respond quickly to customer needs and can deploy its solutions 30–40 percent faster. Longin says, “We have to innovate by giving clubs the features they’re looking for. For example, we’re currently rolling out a new mobile app, branded by each club, and we could not have done that without using AWS and Barracuda.”\r\nClub Automation is taking advantage of Barracuda firewalls to help secure its growing number of AWS services. “We are using the Barracuda NextGen Firewalls, provisioned through the AWS Marketplace, to effectively guard our application against web-based attacks and application layer attacks,” says Longin. “The Barracuda solution plugs in seamlessly to our AWS environment, and it is doing its job of minimizing the attack surface area and helping our customers keep club member cardholder data protected.”\r\nClub Automation has also decreased the amount of time the configuration process took with its previous firewall solution. Barracuda offerings on the AWS Marketplace support AWS CloudFormation templates, which allow developers and administrators to deploy applications within a stack of AWS-related resources. <span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">“The Barracuda firewall is a self-service, cloud-based solution that takes less than 15 minutes to get up and running, as opposed to the hours and sometimes days the previous solution took,” Longin says. “Provisioning new users is much simpler and faster. Instead of opening a support ticket and waiting for it to be addressed, we can just go into AWS and provision new users ourselves. This is a key benefit for us as we keep growing.”</span>\r\nRelying on Barracuda, Club Automation enabled its IT team to securely move its SaaS workloads to AWS. <span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">“We had considered using a cloud solution a few years ago, but cloud offerings were not what they are today, and security solutions like Barracuda’s were not available,” says Longin. “Our move to AWS would not have been possible without Barracuda firewalls,” remarks Longin. “Using Barracuda helped us safely transition more of our workloads to AWS, and we expect our full production environment to be all-in on AWS by the end of the year.”</span>\r\nIn addition, Club Automation benefited from the ease of deployment from the AWS Marketplace.<span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\"> “It couldn’t have been more simple,” says Longin. “All we had to do was find the solution and then quickly configure and deploy it through the AWS Marketplace. In the software industry, it’s rare when something works as expected, but the AWS Marketplace did just that.” In the near future, Club Automation expects to use the marketplace for the upcoming Barracuda metered billing service. “With metered billing, we will be able to consume Barracuda services in the same way we consume AWS services, which will be very cost-effective for us,” </span>Longin says.\r\nPreviously, Club Automation had been holding back on expansion and had only grown through word of mouth, because it was concerned that its IT staff could not support rapid expansion. Now, using AWS, the company is poised for major growth.<span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\"> “We are ready and able to grow,” says Longin. “We have started hiring inside sales representatives and creating marketing plans, because we have a platform that enables scalability and expansion while also allowing us to maintain our high standards of customer service. To keep growing fast, we need agility and innovation. That’s what fueled our transition to AWS and Barracuda, and it will continue fueling our growth in this industry.”</span>","alias":"barracuda-ngfw-on-aws-for-software-provider","roi":0,"seo":{"title":"Barracuda NGFW on AWS for software provider","keywords":"Barracuda, Automation, Club, Longin, says, solution, with, that","description":"<span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; \">Club Automation drives new business growth, safely migrates its health club management application to AWS, protects customer data, and provisions firewalls in 15 minutes instead of several hours by using Barracuda NextGen Firewalls on the AWS Cloud.

The term is generally used to describe data centers available to many users over the Internet. Large clouds, predominant today, often have functions distributed over multiple locations from central servers. If the connection to the user is relatively close, it may be designated an edge server.\r\nInfrastructure as a service (IaaS) are online services that provide high-level APIs used to dereference various low-level details of underlying network infrastructure like physical computing resources, location, data partitioning, scaling, security, backup etc. A hypervisor, such as Xen, Oracle VirtualBox, Oracle VM, KVM, VMware ESX/ESXi, or Hyper-V, LXD, runs the virtual machines as guests. Pools of hypervisors within the cloud operational system can support large numbers of virtual machines and the ability to scale services up and down according to customers' varying requirements.\r\nTypically IaaS involve the use of a cloud orchestration technology like Open Stack, Apache Cloudstack or Open Nebula. This manages the creation of a virtual machine and decides on which hypervisor (i.e. physical host) to start it, enables VM migration features between hosts, allocates storage volumes and attaches them to VMs, usage information for billing and lots more.\r\nAn alternative to hypervisors are Linux containers, which run in isolated partitions of a single Linux kernel running directly on the physical hardware. Linux cgroups and namespaces are the underlying Linux kernel technologies used to isolate, secure and manage the containers. Containerisation offers higher performance than virtualization, because there is no hypervisor overhead. Also, container capacity auto-scales dynamically with computing load, which eliminates the problem of over-provisioning and enables usage-based billing.\r\nIaaS clouds often offer additional resources such as a virtual-machine disk-image library, raw block storage, file or object storage, firewalls, load balancers, IP addresses, virtual local area networks (VLANs), and software bundles.\r\nThe NIST's definition of cloud computing defines Infrastructure as a Service as:\r\n<ul><li>The capability provided to the consumer is to provision processing, storage, networks, and other fundamental computing resources where the consumer is able to deploy and run arbitrary software, which can include operating systems and applications.</li><li>The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure but has control over operating systems, storage, and deployed applications; and possibly limited control of select networking components (e.g., host firewalls).</li></ul>\r\nAccording to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the most basic cloud-service model is that of providers offering IT infrastructure — virtual machines and other resources — as a service to subscribers.\r\nIaaS-cloud providers supply these resources on-demand from their large pools of equipment installed in data centers. For wide-area connectivity, customers can use either the Internet or carrier clouds (dedicated virtual private networks). To deploy their applications, cloud users install operating-system images and their application software on the cloud infrastructure. In this model, the cloud user patches and maintains the operating systems and the application software. Cloud providers typically bill IaaS services on a utility computing basis: cost reflects the amount of resources allocated and consumed.","materialsDescription":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Cloud Computing Basics</span>\r\nWhether you are running applications that share photos to millions of mobile users or you’re supporting the critical operations of your business, a cloud services platform provides rapid access to flexible and low cost IT resources. With cloud computing, you don’t need to make large upfront investments in hardware and spend a lot of time on the heavy lifting of managing that hardware. Instead, you can provision exactly the right type and size of computing resources you need to power your newest bright idea or operate your IT department. You can access as many resources as you need, almost instantly, and only pay for what you use.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">How Does Cloud Computing Work?</span>\r\nCloud computing provides a simple way to access servers, storage, databases and a broad set of application services over the Internet. A Cloud services platform such as Amazon Web Services owns and maintains the network-connected hardware required for these application services, while you provision and use what you need via a web application.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Six Advantages and Benefits of Cloud Computing</span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Trade capital expense for variable expense</span>\r\nInstead of having to invest heavily in data centers and servers before you know how you’re going to use them, you can only pay when you consume computing resources, and only pay for how much you consume.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Benefit from massive economies of scale</span>\r\nBy using cloud computing, you can achieve a lower variable cost than you can get on your own. Because usage from hundreds of thousands of customers are aggregated in the cloud, providers can achieve higher economies of scale which translates into lower pay as you go prices.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Stop guessing capacity</span>\r\nEliminate guessing on your infrastructure capacity needs. When you make a capacity decision prior to deploying an application, you often either end up sitting on expensive idle resources or dealing with limited capacity. With cloud computing, these problems go away. You can access as much or as little as you need, and scale up and down as required with only a few minutes notice.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Increase speed and agility</span>\r\nIn a cloud computing environment, new IT resources are only ever a click away, which means you reduce the time it takes to make those resources available to your developers from weeks to just minutes. This results in a dramatic increase in agility for the organization, since the cost and time it takes to experiment and develop is significantly lower.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Stop spending money on running and maintaining data centers</span>\r\nFocus on projects that differentiate your business, not the infrastructure. Cloud computing lets you focus on your own customers, rather than on the heavy lifting of racking, stacking and powering servers.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Go global in minutes</span>\r\nEasily deploy your application in multiple regions around the world with just a few clicks. This means you can provide a lower latency and better experience for your customers simply and at minimal cost.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Types of Cloud Computing</span>\r\nCloud computing has three main types that are commonly referred to as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). Selecting the right type of cloud computing for your needs can help you strike the right balance of control and the avoidance of undifferentiated heavy lifting.","iconURL":"https://roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_IaaS_computing.png"},{"id":689,"title":"Amazon Web Services","alias":"amazon-web-services","description":"Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a subsidiary of Amazon that provides on-demand cloud computing platforms to individuals, companies and governments, on a metered pay-as-you-go basis. In aggregate, these cloud computing web services provide a set of primitive, abstract technical infrastructure and distributed computing building blocks and tools. One of these services is Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, which allows users to have at their disposal a virtual cluster of computers, available all the time, through the Internet. AWS's version of virtual computers emulate most of the attributes of a real computer including hardware (CPU(s) & GPU(s) for processing, local/RAM memory, hard-disk/SSD storage); a choice of operating systems; networking; and pre-loaded application software such as web servers, databases, CRM, etc.\r\nThe AWS technology is implemented at server farms throughout the world, and maintained by the Amazon subsidiary. Fees are based on a combination of usage, the hardware/OS/software/networking features chosen by the subscriber, required availability, redundancy, security, and service options. Subscribers can pay for a single virtual AWS computer, a dedicated physical computer, or clusters of either. As part of the subscription agreement, Amazon provides security for subscribers' system. AWS operates from many global geographical regions including 6 in North America.\r\nIn 2017, AWS comprised more than 90 services spanning a wide range including computing, storage, networking, database, analytics, application services, deployment, management, mobile, developer tools, and tools for the Internet of Things. The most popular include Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). Most services are not exposed directly to end users, but instead offer functionality through APIs for developers to use in their applications. Amazon Web Services' offerings are accessed over HTTP, using the REST architectural style and SOAP protocol.\r\nAmazon markets AWS to subscribers as a way of obtaining large scale computing capacity more quickly and cheaply than building an actual physical server farm. All services are billed based on usage, but each service measures usage in varying ways. As of 2017, AWS owns a dominant 34% of all cloud (IaaS, PaaS) while the next three competitors Microsoft, Google, and IBM have 11%, 8%, 6% respectively according to Synergy Group.","materialsDescription":"<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What is "Amazon Web Services" (AWS)?</span>\r\nWith Amazon Web Services (AWS), organizations can flexibly deploy storage space and computing capacity into Amazon's data centers without having to maintain their own hardware. A big advantage is that the infrastructure covers all dimensions for cloud computing. Whether it's video sharing, high-resolution photos, print data, or text documents, AWS can deliver IT resources on-demand, over the Internet, at a cost-per-use basis. The service exists since 2006 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Amazon Inc. The idea arose from the extensive experience with Amazon.com and the own need for platforms for web services in the cloud.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What is Cloud Computing?</span>\r\nCloud Computing is a service that gives you access to expert-managed technology resources. The platform in the cloud provides the infrastructure (eg computing power, storage space) that does not have to be installed and configured in contrast to the hardware you have purchased yourself. Cloud computing only pays for the resources that are used. For example, a web shop can increase its computing power in the Christmas business and book less in "weak" months.\r\nAccess is via the Internet or VPN. There are no ongoing investment costs after the initial setup, but resources such as Virtual servers, databases or storage services are charged only after they have been used.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Where is my data on Amazon AWS?</span>\r\nThere are currently eight Amazon Data Centers (AWS Regions) in different regions of the world. For each Amazon AWS resource, only the customer can decide where to use or store it. German customers typically use the data center in Ireland, which is governed by European law.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">How safe is my data on Amazon AWS?</span>\r\nThe customer data is stored in a highly secure infrastructure. Safety measures include, but are not limited to:\r\n<ul><li>Protection against DDos attacks (Distributed Denial of Service)</li><li>Defense against brute-force attacks on AWS accounts</li><li>Secure access: The access options are made via SSL.</li><li> Firewall: Output and access to the AWS data can be controlled.</li><li>Encrypted Data Storage: Data can be encrypted with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256.</li><li>Certifications: Regular security review by independent certifications that AWS has undergone.</li></ul>\r\nEach Amazon data center (AWS region) consists of at least one Availability Zone. Availability Zones are stand-alone sub-sites that have been designed to be isolated from faults in other Availability Zones (independent power and data supply). Certain AWS resources, such as Database Services (RDS) or Storage Services (S3) automatically replicate your data within the AWS region to the different Availability Zones.\r\nAmazon AWS has appropriate certifications such as ISO27001 and has implemented a comprehensive security concept for the operation of its data center.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Do I have to worry about hardware on Amazon AWS?</span>\r\nNo, all Amazon AWS resources are virtualized. Only Amazon takes care of the replacement and upgrade of hardware.\r\nNormally, you will not get anything out of defective hardware because defective storage media are exchanged by Amazon and since your data is stored multiple times redundantly, there is usually no problem either.\r\nIncidentally, if your chosen resources do not provide enough performance, you can easily get more CPU power from resources by just a few mouse clicks. You do not have to install anything new, just reboot your virtual machine or virtual database instance.","iconURL":"https://roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_Amazon_Web_Services.png"}],"characteristics":[],"concurentProducts":[],"jobRoles":[],"organizationalFeatures":[],"complementaryCategories":[],"solutions":[],"materials":[],"useCases":[],"best_practices":[],"values":[],"implementations":[]},{"id":1243,"logo":false,"scheme":false,"title":"Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)","vendorVerified":0,"rating":"2.00","implementationsCount":7,"suppliersCount":0,"alias":"amazon-virtual-private-cloud-vpc","companyTypes":[],"description":"Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) lets you provision a logically isolated section of the AWS Cloud where you can launch AWS resources in a virtual network that you define.

You can use both IPv4 and IPv6 in your VPC for secure and easy access to resources and applications.\r\nYou can easily customize the network configuration for your Amazon VPC. For example, you can create a public-facing subnet for your web servers that has access to the Internet, and place your backend systems such as databases or application servers in a private-facing subnet with no Internet access.

To fully grasp how VMs work, it’s important to first understand how computer software and hardware are typically integrated by an operating system.\r\n"The cloud" refers to servers that are accessed over the Internet, and the software and databases that run on those servers. Cloud servers are located in data centers all over the world. By using cloud computing, users and companies don't have to manage physical servers themselves or run software applications on their own machines.\r\nThe cloud enables users to access the same files and applications from almost any device, because the computing and storage take place on servers in a data center, instead of locally on the user device. This is why a user can log into their Instagram account on a new phone after their old phone breaks and still find their old account in place, with all their photos, videos, and conversation history. It works the same way with cloud email providers like Gmail or Microsoft Office 365, and with cloud storage providers like Dropbox or Google Drive.\r\nFor businesses, switching to cloud computing removes some IT costs and overhead: for instance, they no longer need to update and maintain their own servers, as the cloud vendor they are using will do that. This especially makes an impact on small businesses that may not have been able to afford their own internal infrastructure but can outsource their infrastructure needs affordably via the cloud. The cloud can also make it easier for companies to operate internationally because employees and customers can access the same files and applications from any location.\r\nSeveral cloud providers offer virtual machines to their customers. These virtual machines typically live on powerful servers that can act as a host to multiple VMs and can be used for a variety of reasons that wouldn’t be practical with a locally-hosted VM. These include:\r\n<ul><li>Running SaaS applications - Software-as-a-Service, or SaaS for short, is a cloud-based method of providing software to users. SaaS users subscribe to an application rather than purchasing it once and installing it. These applications are generally served to the user over the Internet. Often, it is virtual machines in the cloud that are doing the computation for SaaS applications as well as delivering them to users. If the cloud provider has a geographically distributed network edge, then the application will run closer to the user, resulting in faster performance.</li><li>Backing up data - Cloud-based VM services are very popular for backing up data because the data can be accessed from anywhere. Plus, cloud VMs provide better redundancy, require less maintenance, and generally scale better than physical data centers. (For example, it’s generally fairly easy to buy an extra gigabyte of storage space from a cloud VM provider, but much more difficult to build a new local data server for that extra gigabyte of data.)</li><li>Hosting services like email and access management - Hosting these services on cloud VMs is generally faster and more cost-effective, and helps minimize maintenance and offload security concerns as well.</li></ul>","materialsDescription":"What is an operating system?\r\nTraditional computers are built out of physical hardware, including hard disk drives, processor chips, RAM, etc. In order to utilize this hardware, computers rely on a type of software known as an operating system (OS). Some common examples of OSes are Mac OSX, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Android.\r\nThe OS is what manages the computer’s hardware in ways that are useful to the user. For example, if the user wants to access the Internet, the OS directs the network interface card to make the connection. If the user wants to download a file, the OS will partition space on the hard drive for that file. The OS also runs and manages other pieces of software. For example, it can run a web browser and provide the browser with enough random access memory (RAM) to operate smoothly. Typically, operating systems exist within a physical computer at a one-to-one ratio; for each machine, there is a single OS managing its physical resources.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Can you have two or more operating systems on one computer?</span>\r\nSome users want to be able to run multiple operating systems simultaneously on one computer, either for testing or one of the other reasons listed in the section below. This can be achieved through a process called virtualization. In virtualization, a piece of software behaves as if it were an independent computer. This piece of software is called a virtual machine, also known as a ‘guest’ computer. (The computer on which the VM is running is called the ‘host’.) The guest has an OS as well as its own virtual hardware.\r\n‘Virtual hardware’ may sound like a bit of an oxymoron, but it works by mapping to real hardware on the host computer. For example, the VM’s ‘hard drive’ is really just a file on the host computer’s hard drive. When the VM wants to save a new file, it actually has to communicate with the host OS, which will write this file to the host hard drive. Because virtual hardware must perform this added step of negotiating with the host to access hardware resources, virtual machines can’t run quite as fast as their host computers.\r\nWith virtualization, one computer can run two or more operating systems. The number of VMs that can run on one host is limited only by the host’s available resources. The user can run the OS of a VM in a window like any other program, or they can run it in fullscreen so that it looks and feels like a genuine host OS.\r\n <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What are virtual machines used for?</span>\r\nSome of the most popular reasons people run virtual machines include:\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Testing</span> - Oftentimes software developers want to be able to test their applications in different environments. They can use virtual machines to run their applications in various OSes on one computer. This is simpler and more cost-effective than having to test on several different physical machines.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Running software designed for other OSes</span> - Although certain software applications are only available for a single platform, a VM can run software designed for a different OS. For example, a Mac user who wants to run software designed for Windows can run a Windows VM on their Mac host.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Running outdated software</span> - Some pieces of older software can’t be run in modern OSes. Users who want to run these applications can run an old OS on a virtual machine.","iconURL":"https://roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_Virtual_machine_and_cloud_system_software.png"}],"characteristics":[],"concurentProducts":[],"jobRoles":[],"organizationalFeatures":[],"complementaryCategories":[],"solutions":[],"materials":[],"useCases":[],"best_practices":[],"values":[],"implementations":[]},{"id":1399,"logo":false,"scheme":false,"title":"Barracuda NextGen Firewall (NGFW)","vendorVerified":0,"rating":"3.00","implementationsCount":4,"suppliersCount":0,"alias":"barracuda-nextgen-firewall-ngfw","companyTypes":[],"description":"<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Next-Generation Firewalls for the Cloud Era</span>\r\nIn the cloud era, network firewalls must do more than secure your network.

Other techniques might also be employed, such as TLS/SSL encrypted traffic inspection, website filtering, QoS/bandwidth management, antivirus inspection and third-party identity management integration (i.e. LDAP, RADIUS, Active Directory).\r\nNGFWs include the typical functions of traditional firewalls such as packet filtering, network- and port-address translation (NAT), stateful inspection, and virtual private network (VPN) support. The goal of next-generation firewalls is to include more layers of the OSI model, improving filtering of network traffic that is dependent on the packet contents.\r\nNGFWs perform deeper inspection compared to stateful inspection performed by the first- and second-generation firewalls. NGFWs use a more thorough inspection style, checking packet payloads and matching signatures for harmful activities such as exploitable attacks and malware.\r\nImproved detection of encrypted applications and intrusion prevention service. Modern threats like web-based malware attacks, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks, and more have had a significantly negative effect on the threat landscape. In fact, more than 80% of all new malware and intrusion attempts are exploiting weaknesses in applications, as opposed to weaknesses in networking components and services.\r\nStateful firewalls with simple packet filtering capabilities were efficient blocking unwanted applications as most applications met the port-protocol expectations. Administrators could promptly prevent an unsafe application from being accessed by users by blocking the associated ports and protocols. But today, blocking a web application like Farmville that uses port 80 by closing the port would also mean complications with the entire HTTP protocol.\r\nProtection based on ports, protocols, IP addresses is no more reliable and viable. This has led to the development of identity-based security approach, which takes organizations a step ahead of conventional security appliances which bind security to IP-addresses.\r\nNGFWs offer administrators a deeper awareness of and control over individual applications, along with deeper inspection capabilities by the firewall. Administrators can create very granular "allow/deny" rules for controlling use of websites and applications in the network. ","materialsDescription":"<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"> What is a next-generation firewall (NGFW)?</span>\r\nAn NGFW contains all the normal defences that a traditional firewall has as well as a type of intrusion prevention software and application control, alongside other bonus security features.

The term is generally used to describe data centers available to many users over the Internet. Large clouds, predominant today, often have functions distributed over multiple locations from central servers. If the connection to the user is relatively close, it may be designated an edge server.\r\nInfrastructure as a service (IaaS) are online services that provide high-level APIs used to dereference various low-level details of underlying network infrastructure like physical computing resources, location, data partitioning, scaling, security, backup etc. A hypervisor, such as Xen, Oracle VirtualBox, Oracle VM, KVM, VMware ESX/ESXi, or Hyper-V, LXD, runs the virtual machines as guests. Pools of hypervisors within the cloud operational system can support large numbers of virtual machines and the ability to scale services up and down according to customers' varying requirements.\r\nTypically IaaS involve the use of a cloud orchestration technology like Open Stack, Apache Cloudstack or Open Nebula. This manages the creation of a virtual machine and decides on which hypervisor (i.e. physical host) to start it, enables VM migration features between hosts, allocates storage volumes and attaches them to VMs, usage information for billing and lots more.\r\nAn alternative to hypervisors are Linux containers, which run in isolated partitions of a single Linux kernel running directly on the physical hardware. Linux cgroups and namespaces are the underlying Linux kernel technologies used to isolate, secure and manage the containers. Containerisation offers higher performance than virtualization, because there is no hypervisor overhead. Also, container capacity auto-scales dynamically with computing load, which eliminates the problem of over-provisioning and enables usage-based billing.\r\nIaaS clouds often offer additional resources such as a virtual-machine disk-image library, raw block storage, file or object storage, firewalls, load balancers, IP addresses, virtual local area networks (VLANs), and software bundles.\r\nThe NIST's definition of cloud computing defines Infrastructure as a Service as:\r\n<ul><li>The capability provided to the consumer is to provision processing, storage, networks, and other fundamental computing resources where the consumer is able to deploy and run arbitrary software, which can include operating systems and applications.</li><li>The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure but has control over operating systems, storage, and deployed applications; and possibly limited control of select networking components (e.g., host firewalls).</li></ul>\r\nAccording to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the most basic cloud-service model is that of providers offering IT infrastructure — virtual machines and other resources — as a service to subscribers.\r\nIaaS-cloud providers supply these resources on-demand from their large pools of equipment installed in data centers. For wide-area connectivity, customers can use either the Internet or carrier clouds (dedicated virtual private networks). To deploy their applications, cloud users install operating-system images and their application software on the cloud infrastructure. In this model, the cloud user patches and maintains the operating systems and the application software. Cloud providers typically bill IaaS services on a utility computing basis: cost reflects the amount of resources allocated and consumed.","materialsDescription":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Cloud Computing Basics</span>\r\nWhether you are running applications that share photos to millions of mobile users or you’re supporting the critical operations of your business, a cloud services platform provides rapid access to flexible and low cost IT resources. With cloud computing, you don’t need to make large upfront investments in hardware and spend a lot of time on the heavy lifting of managing that hardware. Instead, you can provision exactly the right type and size of computing resources you need to power your newest bright idea or operate your IT department. You can access as many resources as you need, almost instantly, and only pay for what you use.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">How Does Cloud Computing Work?</span>\r\nCloud computing provides a simple way to access servers, storage, databases and a broad set of application services over the Internet. A Cloud services platform such as Amazon Web Services owns and maintains the network-connected hardware required for these application services, while you provision and use what you need via a web application.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Six Advantages and Benefits of Cloud Computing</span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Trade capital expense for variable expense</span>\r\nInstead of having to invest heavily in data centers and servers before you know how you’re going to use them, you can only pay when you consume computing resources, and only pay for how much you consume.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Benefit from massive economies of scale</span>\r\nBy using cloud computing, you can achieve a lower variable cost than you can get on your own. Because usage from hundreds of thousands of customers are aggregated in the cloud, providers can achieve higher economies of scale which translates into lower pay as you go prices.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Stop guessing capacity</span>\r\nEliminate guessing on your infrastructure capacity needs. When you make a capacity decision prior to deploying an application, you often either end up sitting on expensive idle resources or dealing with limited capacity. With cloud computing, these problems go away. You can access as much or as little as you need, and scale up and down as required with only a few minutes notice.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Increase speed and agility</span>\r\nIn a cloud computing environment, new IT resources are only ever a click away, which means you reduce the time it takes to make those resources available to your developers from weeks to just minutes. This results in a dramatic increase in agility for the organization, since the cost and time it takes to experiment and develop is significantly lower.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Stop spending money on running and maintaining data centers</span>\r\nFocus on projects that differentiate your business, not the infrastructure. Cloud computing lets you focus on your own customers, rather than on the heavy lifting of racking, stacking and powering servers.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Go global in minutes</span>\r\nEasily deploy your application in multiple regions around the world with just a few clicks. This means you can provide a lower latency and better experience for your customers simply and at minimal cost.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Types of Cloud Computing</span>\r\nCloud computing has three main types that are commonly referred to as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). Selecting the right type of cloud computing for your needs can help you strike the right balance of control and the avoidance of undifferentiated heavy lifting.","iconURL":"https://roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_IaaS_computing.png"},{"id":689,"title":"Amazon Web Services","alias":"amazon-web-services","description":"Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a subsidiary of Amazon that provides on-demand cloud computing platforms to individuals, companies and governments, on a metered pay-as-you-go basis. In aggregate, these cloud computing web services provide a set of primitive, abstract technical infrastructure and distributed computing building blocks and tools. One of these services is Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, which allows users to have at their disposal a virtual cluster of computers, available all the time, through the Internet. AWS's version of virtual computers emulate most of the attributes of a real computer including hardware (CPU(s) & GPU(s) for processing, local/RAM memory, hard-disk/SSD storage); a choice of operating systems; networking; and pre-loaded application software such as web servers, databases, CRM, etc.\r\nThe AWS technology is implemented at server farms throughout the world, and maintained by the Amazon subsidiary. Fees are based on a combination of usage, the hardware/OS/software/networking features chosen by the subscriber, required availability, redundancy, security, and service options. Subscribers can pay for a single virtual AWS computer, a dedicated physical computer, or clusters of either. As part of the subscription agreement, Amazon provides security for subscribers' system. AWS operates from many global geographical regions including 6 in North America.\r\nIn 2017, AWS comprised more than 90 services spanning a wide range including computing, storage, networking, database, analytics, application services, deployment, management, mobile, developer tools, and tools for the Internet of Things. The most popular include Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). Most services are not exposed directly to end users, but instead offer functionality through APIs for developers to use in their applications. Amazon Web Services' offerings are accessed over HTTP, using the REST architectural style and SOAP protocol.\r\nAmazon markets AWS to subscribers as a way of obtaining large scale computing capacity more quickly and cheaply than building an actual physical server farm. All services are billed based on usage, but each service measures usage in varying ways. As of 2017, AWS owns a dominant 34% of all cloud (IaaS, PaaS) while the next three competitors Microsoft, Google, and IBM have 11%, 8%, 6% respectively according to Synergy Group.","materialsDescription":"<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What is "Amazon Web Services" (AWS)?</span>\r\nWith Amazon Web Services (AWS), organizations can flexibly deploy storage space and computing capacity into Amazon's data centers without having to maintain their own hardware. A big advantage is that the infrastructure covers all dimensions for cloud computing. Whether it's video sharing, high-resolution photos, print data, or text documents, AWS can deliver IT resources on-demand, over the Internet, at a cost-per-use basis. The service exists since 2006 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Amazon Inc. The idea arose from the extensive experience with Amazon.com and the own need for platforms for web services in the cloud.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What is Cloud Computing?</span>\r\nCloud Computing is a service that gives you access to expert-managed technology resources. The platform in the cloud provides the infrastructure (eg computing power, storage space) that does not have to be installed and configured in contrast to the hardware you have purchased yourself. Cloud computing only pays for the resources that are used. For example, a web shop can increase its computing power in the Christmas business and book less in "weak" months.\r\nAccess is via the Internet or VPN. There are no ongoing investment costs after the initial setup, but resources such as Virtual servers, databases or storage services are charged only after they have been used.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Where is my data on Amazon AWS?</span>\r\nThere are currently eight Amazon Data Centers (AWS Regions) in different regions of the world. For each Amazon AWS resource, only the customer can decide where to use or store it. German customers typically use the data center in Ireland, which is governed by European law.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">How safe is my data on Amazon AWS?</span>\r\nThe customer data is stored in a highly secure infrastructure. Safety measures include, but are not limited to:\r\n<ul><li>Protection against DDos attacks (Distributed Denial of Service)</li><li>Defense against brute-force attacks on AWS accounts</li><li>Secure access: The access options are made via SSL.</li><li> Firewall: Output and access to the AWS data can be controlled.</li><li>Encrypted Data Storage: Data can be encrypted with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256.</li><li>Certifications: Regular security review by independent certifications that AWS has undergone.</li></ul>\r\nEach Amazon data center (AWS region) consists of at least one Availability Zone. Availability Zones are stand-alone sub-sites that have been designed to be isolated from faults in other Availability Zones (independent power and data supply). Certain AWS resources, such as Database Services (RDS) or Storage Services (S3) automatically replicate your data within the AWS region to the different Availability Zones.\r\nAmazon AWS has appropriate certifications such as ISO27001 and has implemented a comprehensive security concept for the operation of its data center.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Do I have to worry about hardware on Amazon AWS?</span>\r\nNo, all Amazon AWS resources are virtualized. Only Amazon takes care of the replacement and upgrade of hardware.\r\nNormally, you will not get anything out of defective hardware because defective storage media are exchanged by Amazon and since your data is stored multiple times redundantly, there is usually no problem either.\r\nIncidentally, if your chosen resources do not provide enough performance, you can easily get more CPU power from resources by just a few mouse clicks. You do not have to install anything new, just reboot your virtual machine or virtual database instance.","iconURL":"https://roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_Amazon_Web_Services.png"},{"id":2,"title":"Virtual machine and cloud system software","alias":"virtual-machine-and-cloud-system-software","description":" A virtual machine (VM) is a software-based computer that exists within another computer’s operating system, often used for the purposes of testing, backing up data, or running SaaS applications. To fully grasp how VMs work, it’s important to first understand how computer software and hardware are typically integrated by an operating system.\r\n"The cloud" refers to servers that are accessed over the Internet, and the software and databases that run on those servers. Cloud servers are located in data centers all over the world. By using cloud computing, users and companies don't have to manage physical servers themselves or run software applications on their own machines.\r\nThe cloud enables users to access the same files and applications from almost any device, because the computing and storage take place on servers in a data center, instead of locally on the user device. This is why a user can log into their Instagram account on a new phone after their old phone breaks and still find their old account in place, with all their photos, videos, and conversation history. It works the same way with cloud email providers like Gmail or Microsoft Office 365, and with cloud storage providers like Dropbox or Google Drive.\r\nFor businesses, switching to cloud computing removes some IT costs and overhead: for instance, they no longer need to update and maintain their own servers, as the cloud vendor they are using will do that. This especially makes an impact on small businesses that may not have been able to afford their own internal infrastructure but can outsource their infrastructure needs affordably via the cloud. The cloud can also make it easier for companies to operate internationally because employees and customers can access the same files and applications from any location.\r\nSeveral cloud providers offer virtual machines to their customers. These virtual machines typically live on powerful servers that can act as a host to multiple VMs and can be used for a variety of reasons that wouldn’t be practical with a locally-hosted VM. These include:\r\n<ul><li>Running SaaS applications - Software-as-a-Service, or SaaS for short, is a cloud-based method of providing software to users. SaaS users subscribe to an application rather than purchasing it once and installing it. These applications are generally served to the user over the Internet. Often, it is virtual machines in the cloud that are doing the computation for SaaS applications as well as delivering them to users. If the cloud provider has a geographically distributed network edge, then the application will run closer to the user, resulting in faster performance.</li><li>Backing up data - Cloud-based VM services are very popular for backing up data because the data can be accessed from anywhere. Plus, cloud VMs provide better redundancy, require less maintenance, and generally scale better than physical data centers. (For example, it’s generally fairly easy to buy an extra gigabyte of storage space from a cloud VM provider, but much more difficult to build a new local data server for that extra gigabyte of data.)</li><li>Hosting services like email and access management - Hosting these services on cloud VMs is generally faster and more cost-effective, and helps minimize maintenance and offload security concerns as well.</li></ul>","materialsDescription":"What is an operating system?\r\nTraditional computers are built out of physical hardware, including hard disk drives, processor chips, RAM, etc. In order to utilize this hardware, computers rely on a type of software known as an operating system (OS). Some common examples of OSes are Mac OSX, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Android.\r\nThe OS is what manages the computer’s hardware in ways that are useful to the user. For example, if the user wants to access the Internet, the OS directs the network interface card to make the connection. If the user wants to download a file, the OS will partition space on the hard drive for that file. The OS also runs and manages other pieces of software. For example, it can run a web browser and provide the browser with enough random access memory (RAM) to operate smoothly. Typically, operating systems exist within a physical computer at a one-to-one ratio; for each machine, there is a single OS managing its physical resources.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Can you have two or more operating systems on one computer?</span>\r\nSome users want to be able to run multiple operating systems simultaneously on one computer, either for testing or one of the other reasons listed in the section below. This can be achieved through a process called virtualization. In virtualization, a piece of software behaves as if it were an independent computer. This piece of software is called a virtual machine, also known as a ‘guest’ computer. (The computer on which the VM is running is called the ‘host’.) The guest has an OS as well as its own virtual hardware.\r\n‘Virtual hardware’ may sound like a bit of an oxymoron, but it works by mapping to real hardware on the host computer. For example, the VM’s ‘hard drive’ is really just a file on the host computer’s hard drive. When the VM wants to save a new file, it actually has to communicate with the host OS, which will write this file to the host hard drive. Because virtual hardware must perform this added step of negotiating with the host to access hardware resources, virtual machines can’t run quite as fast as their host computers.\r\nWith virtualization, one computer can run two or more operating systems. The number of VMs that can run on one host is limited only by the host’s available resources. The user can run the OS of a VM in a window like any other program, or they can run it in fullscreen so that it looks and feels like a genuine host OS.\r\n <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What are virtual machines used for?</span>\r\nSome of the most popular reasons people run virtual machines include:\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Testing</span> - Oftentimes software developers want to be able to test their applications in different environments. They can use virtual machines to run their applications in various OSes on one computer. This is simpler and more cost-effective than having to test on several different physical machines.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Running software designed for other OSes</span> - Although certain software applications are only available for a single platform, a VM can run software designed for a different OS. For example, a Mac user who wants to run software designed for Windows can run a Windows VM on their Mac host.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Running outdated software</span> - Some pieces of older software can’t be run in modern OSes. Users who want to run these applications can run an old OS on a virtual machine.","iconURL":"https://roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_Virtual_machine_and_cloud_system_software.png"},{"id":784,"title":"NGFW - next-generation firewall - Appliance","alias":"ngfw-next-generation-firewall-1","description":" A next-generation firewall (NGFW) is a part of the third generation of firewall technology, combining a traditional firewall with other network device filtering functionalities, such as an application firewall using in-line deep packet inspection (DPI), an intrusion prevention system (IPS). Other techniques might also be employed, such as TLS/SSL encrypted traffic inspection, website filtering, QoS/bandwidth management, antivirus inspection and third-party identity management integration (i.e. LDAP, RADIUS, Active Directory).\r\nNGFWs include the typical functions of traditional firewalls such as packet filtering, network- and port-address translation (NAT), stateful inspection, and virtual private network (VPN) support. The goal of next-generation firewalls is to include more layers of the OSI model, improving filtering of network traffic that is dependent on the packet contents.\r\nNGFWs perform deeper inspection compared to stateful inspection performed by the first- and second-generation firewalls. NGFWs use a more thorough inspection style, checking packet payloads and matching signatures for harmful activities such as exploitable attacks and malware.\r\nImproved detection of encrypted applications and intrusion prevention service. Modern threats like web-based malware attacks, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks, and more have had a significantly negative effect on the threat landscape. In fact, more than 80% of all new malware and intrusion attempts are exploiting weaknesses in applications, as opposed to weaknesses in networking components and services.\r\nStateful firewalls with simple packet filtering capabilities were efficient blocking unwanted applications as most applications met the port-protocol expectations. Administrators could promptly prevent an unsafe application from being accessed by users by blocking the associated ports and protocols. But today, blocking a web application like Farmville that uses port 80 by closing the port would also mean complications with the entire HTTP protocol.\r\nProtection based on ports, protocols, IP addresses is no more reliable and viable. This has led to the development of identity-based security approach, which takes organizations a step ahead of conventional security appliances which bind security to IP-addresses.\r\nNGFWs offer administrators a deeper awareness of and control over individual applications, along with deeper inspection capabilities by the firewall. Administrators can create very granular "allow/deny" rules for controlling use of websites and applications in the network.

Systems come and go daily on the company’s network. For instance, in a recent week, 45,000 systems, including virtual machines, connected to the corporate network. However, during peak periods, up to 150,000 endpoints can be connected. For the company’s senior manager of security engineering, who oversees the team responsible for deployment of all security tools across the global enterprise, this environment poses distinct challenges.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Challenge: Close Gaps to Block Zero-Day Attacks</span>\r\nAlthough the company employs the McAfee Complete Endpoint Threat Protection suite on all its high-risk physical and virtual endpoints, it also has many virtual endpoints connecting to its network that do not have a McAfee agent installed and are therefore not updated with the latest threat protection via the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee® ePO™) management console. The company’s more important virtual machines host a McAfee agent but many “low-risk” systems do not. Until recently, if one of these unmanaged endpoints downloaded a malicious file, the McAfee ePO softwaremanaged endpoints would be at risk because they had no way of knowing of the existence of that threat within the environment.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic; \">“Zero-day threats are our biggest concern,” remarks the senior manager of security engineering. “If any of our endpoints—managed or unmanaged—downloads a zero-day threat, we want our whole environment to know about it, and we want to be able to react appropriately as fast as possible.”</span>\r\nIn addition, if a managed endpoint became infected, security analysts would receive an alert, but, because of the fluidity of systems coming on and off the network, by the time an analyst has logged in and has attempted to find the suspicious payload, the system could easily have moved offline, essentially removing the information needed to understand what had transpired. As a result, security operations center (SOC) engineers found that they had to spend extra time tracking down infected systems and remediating them.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Hunting and Blocking Zero-Day Threats with McAfee Advanced Threat Defense</span>\r\nAlong with McAfee Complete Endpoint Threat Protection, the company had implemented the Data Exchange Layer (DXL) communication fabric and McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange. DXL connects and optimizes security actions across multiple vendor products, as well as internally developed and open source solutions, and McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange leverages DXL to bi-directionally share threat information across all DXL-connected systems. To this automated threat reputation-sharing framework, the company added McAfee Advanced Threat Defense for “zero-day hunting,” as the senior manager of security engineering describes the appliance’s main role. \r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“If an unknown or suspicious file comes across one of</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">our endpoints protected by McAfee Endpoint Security, </span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">the file is automatically sent to McAfee Advanced Threat</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Defense for sophisticated static and dynamic behavioral</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">analysis,” explains the senior manager of security</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">engineering. “If McAfee Advanced Threat Defense</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">deems the file to be malicious, its reputation is then</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">automatically broadcast via McAfee Threat Intelligence</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Exchange to all the endpoints connected to DXL. This</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">automatic distribution of threat reputation information</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">helps us block zero-day threats before they can harm</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">our environment.”</span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Enhancing Intrusion Detection with Bro</span>\r\nBut what about threats entering the environment through the company’s many unmanaged endpoints? To extend detection to these systems, the company turned to the open-source Bro network security monitoring platform. Bro ingests the company’s network traffic off a span or inline tap and converts the traffic data into logs and metadata in binary format. In a typical week, Bro submits approximately 6,000 files to McAfee Advanced Threat Defense for analysis. Of those, approximately 10% to 20% end up in the McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange threat reputation database and are subsequently shared throughout the enterprise.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“Bro gives us the ability to retain network traffic in a searchable format, which is extremely useful,” the senior manager of security engineering explains. “For instance, using Bro, we can search for source or distributed IP so we can easily conduct lightweight investigations— discover who or what connected to a specific IP address, what the payload looks like, determine the packet size, and so on.”</span>\r\nThe information captured by Bro supplements the threat information delivered via the McAfee Global Threat Intelligence cloud and disseminated via McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange. With the Bro script and advice provided by McAfee (now available as a deployment kit), the senior manager of security engineering’s team integrated Bro with McAfee Advanced Threat Defense so that the Bro traffic data is automatically submitted to McAfee Advanced Threat Defense, just as suspicious files from McAfee Endpoint Security are automatically submitted through McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange.\r\nSince the team was already very familiar with Bro, the integration was straightforward. \r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Automatic Immunization Against Threats that Hit Unmanaged Endpoints</span>\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“If one of our unmanaged endpoints downloads a malicious file, Bro will capture that event among the </span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">network traffic and submit it to McAfee Advanced</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Threat Defense for analysis,” notes the senior manager</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">of security engineering. “If McAfee Advanced Threat</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Defense determines the file is malicious, then that</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">malicious reputation will be shared automatically with</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">every McAfee ePO software-managed system in our</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">entire enterprise—in other words, with all the systems</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">we care about. Put another way, if one of our unmanaged</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">virtual machines downloads a malicious file, all of our</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">managed devices automatically receive an immune shot.”</span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Facilitating and Accelerating Incident Response</span>\r\nWith the McAfee Advanced Threat Defense/Bro integration and threat reputation information automatically disseminated across endpoints via McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange, inoculation of endpoints happens much faster than it did before. Consequently, there is a much greater likelihood that a system will “receive the immune shot” before it goes offline. In addition, because the actual event and surrounding intelligence is captured by Bro, even if the system goes offline, McAfee Advanced Threat Defense, as well as security analysts, have a great deal more information to help determine appropriate action, and, if necessary, to remediate more quickly.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“With the McAfee automated threat framework and supporting intelligence from the Bro integration, plus automated remediation that we have also set up, our SOC very rarely needs to pay attention to endpoint incidents,” points out the senior manager of security engineering. “The Bro integration and all that automation save a ton of time.”</span>\r\nTo fortify its defenses further, the company continues to build upon its DXL-based integrated security framework. For instance, the company is currently in the process of adding McAfee DLP Monitor to gather, track, and report on data in motion across its entire network and augment its McAfee DLP Endpoint host-based data protection.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“The more we can integrate our systems and automate </span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">responses, the safer we will be,” says the senior manager</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">of security engineering.</span>","alias":"mcafee-endpoint-security-for-global-software-company","roi":0,"seo":{"title":"McAfee Endpoint Security for global software company","keywords":"","description":"<span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; \">Integrating McAfee® Advanced Threat Defense and the Bro open-source network </span><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; \">security platform widens the scope of threat detection to include unmanaged devices</span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Multinational Software Company</span>\r\n<ul><li>Large global software company</li><li>Industry: Technology</li><li>Environment: Fluid environment with up to 150,000 endpoints at any given time, many of them virtual, across 20 countries</li></ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Challenges</span>\r\n<ul><li>Protect against zero-day threats across extended global enterprise</li><li>Shrink detection to remediation gap</li></ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">McAfee solution</span>\r\n<ul><li>McAfee® Advanced Threat Defense</li><li>McAfee® Complete Endpoint Threat Protection</li><li>McAfee® ePolicy Orchestrator®</li><li>McAfee® Threat Intelligence Exchange</li></ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Results</span>\r\n<ul><li>Accelerates time to protection, thanks to automation</li><li>Augments threat reputation information shared across</li><li>McAfee ePO softwaremanaged devices with information gleaned from incidents involving unmanaged devices</li><li>Facilitates endpoint incident forensics and accelerates response</li><li>Saves security operations time and hassle</li></ul>\r\nAutomated submission of threat information to McAfee Advanced Threat Defense and automated sharing of that information across the enterprise improves protection while saving security operations time and hassle.\r\nThis large global software company with more than 20,000 employees in 20 countries has implemented an IT infrastructure that is highly virtual and fluid.

For instance, the company is currently in the process of adding McAfee DLP Monitor to gather, track, and report on data in motion across its entire network and augment its McAfee DLP Endpoint host-based data protection.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“The more we can integrate our systems and automate </span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">responses, the safer we will be,” says the senior manager</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">of security engineering.</span>","og:title":"McAfee Endpoint Security for global software company","og:description":"<span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; \">Integrating McAfee® Advanced Threat Defense and the Bro open-source network </span><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; \">security platform widens the scope of threat detection to include unmanaged devices</span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Multinational Software Company</span>\r\n<ul><li>Large global software company</li><li>Industry: Technology</li><li>Environment: Fluid environment with up to 150,000 endpoints at any given time, many of them virtual, across 20 countries</li></ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Challenges</span>\r\n<ul><li>Protect against zero-day threats across extended global enterprise</li><li>Shrink detection to remediation gap</li></ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">McAfee solution</span>\r\n<ul><li>McAfee® Advanced Threat Defense</li><li>McAfee® Complete Endpoint Threat Protection</li><li>McAfee® ePolicy Orchestrator®</li><li>McAfee® Threat Intelligence Exchange</li></ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Results</span>\r\n<ul><li>Accelerates time to protection, thanks to automation</li><li>Augments threat reputation information shared across</li><li>McAfee ePO softwaremanaged devices with information gleaned from incidents involving unmanaged devices</li><li>Facilitates endpoint incident forensics and accelerates response</li><li>Saves security operations time and hassle</li></ul>\r\nAutomated submission of threat information to McAfee Advanced Threat Defense and automated sharing of that information across the enterprise improves protection while saving security operations time and hassle.\r\nThis large global software company with more than 20,000 employees in 20 countries has implemented an IT infrastructure that is highly virtual and fluid. Systems come and go daily on the company’s network. For instance, in a recent week, 45,000 systems, including virtual machines, connected to the corporate network. However, during peak periods, up to 150,000 endpoints can be connected. For the company’s senior manager of security engineering, who oversees the team responsible for deployment of all security tools across the global enterprise, this environment poses distinct challenges.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Challenge: Close Gaps to Block Zero-Day Attacks</span>\r\nAlthough the company employs the McAfee Complete Endpoint Threat Protection suite on all its high-risk physical and virtual endpoints, it also has many virtual endpoints connecting to its network that do not have a McAfee agent installed and are therefore not updated with the latest threat protection via the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee® ePO™) management console. The company’s more important virtual machines host a McAfee agent but many “low-risk” systems do not. Until recently, if one of these unmanaged endpoints downloaded a malicious file, the McAfee ePO softwaremanaged endpoints would be at risk because they had no way of knowing of the existence of that threat within the environment.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic; \">“Zero-day threats are our biggest concern,” remarks the senior manager of security engineering. “If any of our endpoints—managed or unmanaged—downloads a zero-day threat, we want our whole environment to know about it, and we want to be able to react appropriately as fast as possible.”</span>\r\nIn addition, if a managed endpoint became infected, security analysts would receive an alert, but, because of the fluidity of systems coming on and off the network, by the time an analyst has logged in and has attempted to find the suspicious payload, the system could easily have moved offline, essentially removing the information needed to understand what had transpired. As a result, security operations center (SOC) engineers found that they had to spend extra time tracking down infected systems and remediating them.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Hunting and Blocking Zero-Day Threats with McAfee Advanced Threat Defense</span>\r\nAlong with McAfee Complete Endpoint Threat Protection, the company had implemented the Data Exchange Layer (DXL) communication fabric and McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange. DXL connects and optimizes security actions across multiple vendor products, as well as internally developed and open source solutions, and McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange leverages DXL to bi-directionally share threat information across all DXL-connected systems. To this automated threat reputation-sharing framework, the company added McAfee Advanced Threat Defense for “zero-day hunting,” as the senior manager of security engineering describes the appliance’s main role. \r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“If an unknown or suspicious file comes across one of</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">our endpoints protected by McAfee Endpoint Security, </span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">the file is automatically sent to McAfee Advanced Threat</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Defense for sophisticated static and dynamic behavioral</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">analysis,” explains the senior manager of security</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">engineering. “If McAfee Advanced Threat Defense</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">deems the file to be malicious, its reputation is then</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">automatically broadcast via McAfee Threat Intelligence</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Exchange to all the endpoints connected to DXL. This</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">automatic distribution of threat reputation information</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">helps us block zero-day threats before they can harm</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">our environment.”</span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Enhancing Intrusion Detection with Bro</span>\r\nBut what about threats entering the environment through the company’s many unmanaged endpoints? To extend detection to these systems, the company turned to the open-source Bro network security monitoring platform. Bro ingests the company’s network traffic off a span or inline tap and converts the traffic data into logs and metadata in binary format. In a typical week, Bro submits approximately 6,000 files to McAfee Advanced Threat Defense for analysis. Of those, approximately 10% to 20% end up in the McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange threat reputation database and are subsequently shared throughout the enterprise.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“Bro gives us the ability to retain network traffic in a searchable format, which is extremely useful,” the senior manager of security engineering explains. “For instance, using Bro, we can search for source or distributed IP so we can easily conduct lightweight investigations— discover who or what connected to a specific IP address, what the payload looks like, determine the packet size, and so on.”</span>\r\nThe information captured by Bro supplements the threat information delivered via the McAfee Global Threat Intelligence cloud and disseminated via McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange. With the Bro script and advice provided by McAfee (now available as a deployment kit), the senior manager of security engineering’s team integrated Bro with McAfee Advanced Threat Defense so that the Bro traffic data is automatically submitted to McAfee Advanced Threat Defense, just as suspicious files from McAfee Endpoint Security are automatically submitted through McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange.\r\nSince the team was already very familiar with Bro, the integration was straightforward. \r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Automatic Immunization Against Threats that Hit Unmanaged Endpoints</span>\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“If one of our unmanaged endpoints downloads a malicious file, Bro will capture that event among the </span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">network traffic and submit it to McAfee Advanced</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Threat Defense for analysis,” notes the senior manager</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">of security engineering. “If McAfee Advanced Threat</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Defense determines the file is malicious, then that</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">malicious reputation will be shared automatically with</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">every McAfee ePO software-managed system in our</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">entire enterprise—in other words, with all the systems</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">we care about. Put another way, if one of our unmanaged</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">virtual machines downloads a malicious file, all of our</span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">managed devices automatically receive an immune shot.”</span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Facilitating and Accelerating Incident Response</span>\r\nWith the McAfee Advanced Threat Defense/Bro integration and threat reputation information automatically disseminated across endpoints via McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange, inoculation of endpoints happens much faster than it did before. Consequently, there is a much greater likelihood that a system will “receive the immune shot” before it goes offline. In addition, because the actual event and surrounding intelligence is captured by Bro, even if the system goes offline, McAfee Advanced Threat Defense, as well as security analysts, have a great deal more information to help determine appropriate action, and, if necessary, to remediate more quickly.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“With the McAfee automated threat framework and supporting intelligence from the Bro integration, plus automated remediation that we have also set up, our SOC very rarely needs to pay attention to endpoint incidents,” points out the senior manager of security engineering. “The Bro integration and all that automation save a ton of time.”</span>\r\nTo fortify its defenses further, the company continues to build upon its DXL-based integrated security framework.

At the most basic level, a SIEM system can be rules-based or employ a statistical correlation engine to establish relationships between event log entries. Advanced SIEM products have evolved to include user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) and security orchestration and automated response (SOAR). \r\nThe acronyms SEM, SIM and SIEM have sometimes been used interchangeably, but generally refer to the different primary focus of products:\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Log management:</span> Focus on simple collection and storage of log messages and audit trails.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Security information management (SIM):</span> Long-term storage as well as analysis and reporting of log data.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Security event manager (SEM):</span> Real-time monitoring, correlation of events, notifications and console views.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Security information event management (SIEM):</span> Combines SIM and SEM and provides real-time analysis of security alerts generated by network hardware and applications.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Managed Security Service (MSS) or Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP):</span> The most common managed services appear to evolve around connectivity and bandwidth, network monitoring, security, virtualization, and disaster recovery.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Security as a service (SECaaS):</span> These security services often include authentication, anti-virus, anti-malware/spyware, intrusion detection, Penetration testing and security event management, among others.</li></ul>\r\nToday, most of SIEM technology works by deploying multiple collection agents in a hierarchical manner to gather security-related events from end-user devices, servers, network equipment, as well as specialized security equipment like firewalls, antivirus or intrusion prevention systems. The collectors forward events to a centralized management console where security analysts sift through the noise, connecting the dots and prioritizing security incidents.\r\nSome of the most important features to review when evaluating Security Information and Event Management software are:\r\n<ol><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Integration with other controls:</span> Can the system give commands to other enterprise security controls to prevent or stop attacks in progress?</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Artificial intelligence:</span> Can the system improve its own accuracy by through machine and deep learning?</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Threat intelligence feeds:</span> Can the system support threat intelligence feeds of the organization's choosing or is it mandated to use a particular feed?</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Robust compliance reporting:</span> Does the system include built-in reports for common compliance needs and the provide the organization with the ability to customize or create new compliance reports?</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Forensics capabilities:</span> Can the system capture additional information about security events by recording the headers and contents of packets of interest? </li></ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n","materialsDescription":"<h1 class=\"align-center\"> Why is SIEM Important?</h1>\r\nSIEM has become a core security component of modern organizations. The main reason is that every user or tracker leaves behind a virtual trail in a network’s log data. SIEM software is designed to use this log data in order to generate insight into past attacks and events. A SIEM solution not only identifies that an attack has happened, but allows you to see how and why it happened as well.\r\nAs organizations update and upscale to increasingly complex IT infrastructures, SIEM has become even more important in recent years. Contrary to popular belief, firewalls and antivirus packages are not enough to protect a network in its entirety. Zero-day attacks can still penetrate a system’s defenses even with these security measures in place.\r\nSIEM addresses this problem by detecting attack activity and assessing it against past behavior on the network. A security event monitoring has the ability to distinguish between legitimate use and a malicious attack. This helps to increase a system’s incident protection and avoid damage to systems and virtual property.\r\nThe use of SIEM also helps companies to comply with a variety of industry cyber management regulations. Log management is the industry standard method of auditing activity on an IT network. SIEM management provides the best way to meet this regulatory requirement and provide transparency over logs in order to generate clear insights and improvements.\r\n<h1 class=\"align-center\">Evaluation criteria for security information and event management software:</h1>\r\n<ul><li>Threat identification: Raw log form vs. descriptive.</li><li>Threat tracking: Ability to track through the various events, from source to destination.</li><li>Policy enforcement: Ability to enforce defined polices.</li><li>Application analysis: Ability to analyze application at Layer 7 if necessary.</li><li>Business relevance of events: Ability to assign business risk to events and have weighted threat levels.</li><li>Measuring changes and improvements: Ability to track configuration changes to devices.</li><li>Asset-based information: Ability to gather information on devices on the network.</li><li>Anomalous behavior (server): Ability to trend and see changes in how it communicates to others.</li><li>Anomalous behavior (network): Ability to trend and see how communications pass throughout the network.</li><li>Anomalous behavior (application): Ability to trend and see changes in how it communicates to others.</li><li>User monitoring: User activity, logging in, applications usage, etc.</li></ul>\r\n\r\n","iconURL":"https://roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_SIEM.png"}],"characteristics":[],"concurentProducts":[],"jobRoles":[],"organizationalFeatures":[],"complementaryCategories":[],"solutions":[],"materials":[],"useCases":[],"best_practices":[],"values":[],"implementations":[]},{"id":538,"logo":false,"scheme":false,"title":"McAfee Complete Endpoint Threat Protection","vendorVerified":1,"rating":"2.00","implementationsCount":3,"suppliersCount":0,"alias":"mcafee-complete-endpoint-threat-protection","companyTypes":[],"description":"<p style=\"margin: 0px 10px 15px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; color: #53565a; font-family: intel_clear_wregular, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">McAfee Complete Endpoint Threat Protection provides advanced defenses that investigate, contain, and provide actionable insights to combat zero-day threats and sophisticated attacks.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 10px 15px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; color: #53565a; font-family: intel_clear_wregular, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">Core endpoint protection, including anti-malware, firewall, device control, email and web security works together with machine learning and dynamic application containment to detect zero-day threats in near real time, and classify and halt them before they can execute on your systems.

An antispam system is installed to catch and filter spam at different levels. Spam monitoring and identification are relevant on corporate servers that support corporate email, here the antispam system filters spam on the server before it reaches the mailbox. There are many programs that help to cope with this task, but not all of them are equally useful. The main objective of such programs is to stop sending unsolicited letters, however, the methods of assessing and suppressing such actions can be not only beneficial but also detrimental to your organization. So, depending on the rules and policies of mail servers, your server, or even a domain, may be blacklisted and the transfer of letters will be limited through it, and you may not even be warned about it.\r\nThe main types of installation and use of anti-spam systems:\r\n<ul><li>installation of specialized equipment, a gateway that filters mail before it reaches the server;</li><li>use of external antispam systems for analyzing emails and content;</li><li>setting up an antispam system with the ability to learn on the mail server itself;</li><li>installation of spam filtering software on the client’s computer.</li></ul>","materialsDescription":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Anti-spam technologies:</span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Heuristic analysis</span>\r\nExtremely complex, highly intelligent technology for empirical analysis of all parts of a message: header fields, message bodies, etc. Not only the message itself is analyzed.

They both do away with the need for on-premises network security appliances, yet still provide centralized control and ease of use for building network security defense in depth. While UTM systems and <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">next-generation firewalls (NGFWs)</span> are sometimes comparable, unified threat management device includes added security features that NGFWs don't offer.\r\nOriginally developed to fill the network security gaps left by traditional firewalls, NGFWs usually include application intelligence and intrusion prevention systems, as well as denial-of-service protection. Unified threat management devices offer multiple layers of network security, including next-generation firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, antivirus, virtual private networks (VPN), spam filtering and URL filtering for web content.\r\nUnified threat management appliance has gained traction in the industry due to the emergence of blended threats, which are combinations of different types of malware and attacks that target separate parts of the network simultaneously. By creating a single point of defense and providing a single console, unified security management make dealing with varied threats much easier.\r\nUnified threat management products provide increased protection and visibility, as well as control over network security, reducing complexity. Unified threat management system typically does this via inspection methods that address different types of threats. These methods include:\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Flow-based inspection,</span> also known as stream-based inspection, samples data that enters a UTM device, and then uses pattern matching to determine whether there is malicious content in the data flow.</li><li> <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Proxy-based inspection</span> acts as a proxy to reconstruct the content entering a UTM device, and then executes a full inspection of the content to search for potential security threats. If the content is clean, the device sends the content to the user. However, if a virus or other security threat is detected, the device removes the questionable content, and then sends the file or webpage to the user.</li></ul>\r\n\r\n","materialsDescription":"<h1 class=\"align-center\"> How UTM is deployed?</h1>\r\nBusinesses can implement UTM as a UTM appliance that connects to a company's network, as a software program running on an existing network server, or as a service that works in a cloud environment.\r\nUTMs are particularly useful in organizations that have many branches or retail outlets that have traditionally used dedicated WAN, but are increasingly using public internet connections to the headquarters/data center. Using a UTM in these cases gives the business more insight and better control over the security of those branch or retail outlets.\r\nBusinesses can choose from one or more methods to deploy UTM to the appropriate platforms, but they may also find it most suitable to select a combination of platforms. Some of the options include installing unified threat management software on the company's servers in a data center; using software-based UTM products on cloud-based servers; using traditional UTM hardware appliances that come with preintegrated hardware and software; or using virtual appliances, which are integrated software suites that can be deployed in virtual environments.\r\n<h1 class=\"align-center\">Benefits of Using a Unified Threat Management Solution</h1>\r\nUTM solutions offer unique benefits to small and medium businesses that are looking to enhance their security programs. Because the capabilities of multiple specialized programs are contained in a single appliance, UTM threat management reduces the complexity of a company’s security system. Similarly, having one program that controls security reduces the amount of training that employees receive when being hired or migrating to a new system and allows for easy management in the future. This can also save money in the long run as opposed to having to buy multiple devices.\r\nSome UTM solutions provide additional benefits for companies in strictly regulated industries. Appliances that use identity-based security to report on user activity while enabling policy creation based on user identity meet the requirements of regulatory compliance such as HIPPA, CIPA, and GLBA that require access controls and auditing that meet control data leakage.\r\nUTM solutions also help to protect networks against combined threats. These threats consist of different types of malware and attacks that target separate parts of the network simultaneously. When using separate appliances for each security wall, preventing these combined attacks can be difficult. This is because each security wall has to be managed individually in order to remain up-to-date with the changing security threats. Because it is a single point of defense, UTM’s make dealing with combined threats easier.\r\n\r\n","iconURL":"https://roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_UTM.jpg"},{"id":25,"title":"Web filtering","alias":"web-filtering","description":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Web filtering</span> is a technology that stops users from viewing certain URLs or websites by preventing their browsers from loading pages from these sites. Web filters are made in different ways and deliver various solutions for individual, family, institutional or enterprise use.\r\nIn general, Web filters work in two distinct ways. They can <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">block content</span> as determined by quality of the site, by consulting known lists which document and categorize popular pages across all genres of content. Or, they can <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">evaluate the content</span> of the page live and block it accordingly. Many Web filter tools work off of a constantly updated URL database that shows which websites and domains are associated with hosting malware, phishing, viruses or other tools for harmful activities.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Web Filtering Types.</span> <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Blacklist & Whitelist Filters:</span>when using blacklists, an administrator (which might be a parent) manually enters all websites that are deemed inappropriate into the program, and those sites are subsequently blocked. Whitelists are used in exactly the same way, only in reverse – i.e. URLs are manually entered onto a whitelist, and all other websites are then off-limits.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic; \">Keyword And Content Filters: </span>this type of filtering is in many ways similar to black and whitelist filtering, though with a slightly broader scope. Keyword and content filters will filter out websites that contain specific keywords or predefined content (such as pornography, for example).\r\nSome website filtering software also provides reporting so that the installer can see what kind of traffic is being filtered and who has requested it. Some products provide soft blocking (in which a warning page is sent to the user instead of the requested page while still allowing access to the page) and an override capability that allows an administrator to unlock a page. \r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Web Filtering Software for Business.</span> Most organizations have moved to cloud based-applications, making browsers a tool that employees use on a daily basis to access work. Browsers have become a conduit to not only the cloud, but also to immeasurable malware and distractions hosted on the web. In order to ensure that browsers do not bring in malicious traffic, web filtering software becomes necessary.\r\n\r\n","materialsDescription":"<h1 class=\"align-center\">What is Enterprise Web Filtering Software?</h1>\r\nAntivirus and antimalware software are required to detect malicious programs that has been downloaded, but it is now important for enterprise web filtering software to be installed. Content filtering software is an invaluable protection against a wide range of web-borne threats. Rather than allowing malware and ransomware to be downloaded, it prevents end users from visiting websites that contain these malicious threats.\r\nInternet filtering software is also one of the most effective ways to neutralize the threat from phishing. Phishing is a technique used by cybercriminals to gain access to sensitive user information. Phishers trick end users into revealing login credentials or downloading malicious software onto their computers.\r\nPhishing involves sophisticated social engineering techniques to fool end users into visiting malicious websites. If employees can be convinced to reveal sensitive information or download ransomware or malware, cybercriminals can easily bypass even the most sophisticated of cybersecurity defenses.\r\n<h1 class=\"align-center\">What is URL Filtering?</h1>\r\nURL filtering is a type of network filtering software that helps businesses control their users’ and guests’ ability to access certain content on the web. If you’ve ever gotten a “block” page while surfing the internet at the office, then your company is using web filtering.\r\nSome employers may only be concerned about blocking access to websites that are known to spread malware or steal information. Other businesses may block content they find inappropriate, such as adult websites or sites that promote violence, or content that violates compliance regulations. They may also choose to activate web protection software to block social media or video streaming sites to minimize drains on productivity and network bandwidth.\r\nTypically, URL filtering software is provided by a cybersecurity service, firewall, or router. Each of these may use a variety of threat intelligence sources to determine which websites fit into their chosen acceptable and unacceptable categories. That’s where highly reliable web reputation services are most valuable. Sources that have extensive web histories and real-time active crawling services will provide the most accurate content determinations.","iconURL":"https://roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_Web_filtering.png"}],"characteristics":[],"concurentProducts":[],"jobRoles":[],"organizationalFeatures":[],"complementaryCategories":[],"solutions":[],"materials":[],"useCases":[],"best_practices":[],"values":[],"implementations":[]},{"id":1732,"logo":false,"scheme":false,"title":"McAfee Endpoint Security","vendorVerified":1,"rating":"2.00","implementationsCount":5,"suppliersCount":0,"alias":"mcafee-endpoint-security","companyTypes":[],"description":"<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Advanced, consolidated endpoint defense</span> McAfee Endpoint Security delivers industry-leading protection and operational simplicity for your diverse endpoint environment. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Core threat prevention</span> Essential anti-virus, exploit prevention, firewall, and web control communicate with each other. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Machine learning</span> State-of-the art techniques identify malicious code based on appearance and behavior. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Application containment</span> Limit the impact of suspicious files and zero-day malware by blocking behaviors and containing them before they can infect or spread in your environment. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Endpoint detection and response</span> Our integrated, automated, and adaptable endpoint detection and response (EDR) technology is easy to use and makes incident response as simple as a single click. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Product features</span>\r\n<ul> <li>Centralized management.

Tight integration between security solutions — from network and endpoint to investigation — enables instant sharing of threat information across the environment, enhancing protection and investigation. Flexible deployment options support every network.\r\nMcAfee Advanced Threat Defense detects today’s stealthy, zero-day malware with an innovative, layered approach. It combines low-touch analysis engines such as antivirus signatures, reputation, and real-time emulation with dynamic analysis (sandboxing) to analyze actual behavior. Investigation continues with in-depth static code analysis that inspects file attributes and instruction sets to determine intended or evasive behavior and assesses similarity with known malware families. A final step in the analysis, McAfee Advanced Threat Defense specifically looks for malicious indicators that have been identified through machine learning via a deep neural network. Combined, this represents the strongest advanced malware security protection on the market and effectively balances the need for both in-depth inspection and performance. While lower analytical intensity methods such as signatures and real-time emulation benefit performance by catching more easily identified malware, the addition of in-depth static code analysis and insights gained through machine learning to sandboxing broadens detection of highly camouflaged, evasive threats.

At the most basic level, a SIEM system can be rules-based or employ a statistical correlation engine to establish relationships between event log entries. Advanced SIEM products have evolved to include user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) and security orchestration and automated response (SOAR). \r\nThe acronyms SEM, SIM and SIEM have sometimes been used interchangeably, but generally refer to the different primary focus of products:\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Log management:</span> Focus on simple collection and storage of log messages and audit trails.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Security information management (SIM):</span> Long-term storage as well as analysis and reporting of log data.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Security event manager (SEM):</span> Real-time monitoring, correlation of events, notifications and console views.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Security information event management (SIEM):</span> Combines SIM and SEM and provides real-time analysis of security alerts generated by network hardware and applications.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Managed Security Service (MSS) or Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP):</span> The most common managed services appear to evolve around connectivity and bandwidth, network monitoring, security, virtualization, and disaster recovery.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Security as a service (SECaaS):</span> These security services often include authentication, anti-virus, anti-malware/spyware, intrusion detection, Penetration testing and security event management, among others.</li></ul>\r\nToday, most of SIEM technology works by deploying multiple collection agents in a hierarchical manner to gather security-related events from end-user devices, servers, network equipment, as well as specialized security equipment like firewalls, antivirus or intrusion prevention systems. The collectors forward events to a centralized management console where security analysts sift through the noise, connecting the dots and prioritizing security incidents.\r\nSome of the most important features to review when evaluating Security Information and Event Management software are:\r\n<ol><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Integration with other controls:</span> Can the system give commands to other enterprise security controls to prevent or stop attacks in progress?</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Artificial intelligence:</span> Can the system improve its own accuracy by through machine and deep learning?</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Threat intelligence feeds:</span> Can the system support threat intelligence feeds of the organization's choosing or is it mandated to use a particular feed?</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Robust compliance reporting:</span> Does the system include built-in reports for common compliance needs and the provide the organization with the ability to customize or create new compliance reports?</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Forensics capabilities:</span> Can the system capture additional information about security events by recording the headers and contents of packets of interest? </li></ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n","materialsDescription":"<h1 class=\"align-center\"> Why is SIEM Important?</h1>\r\nSIEM has become a core security component of modern organizations. The main reason is that every user or tracker leaves behind a virtual trail in a network’s log data. SIEM software is designed to use this log data in order to generate insight into past attacks and events. A SIEM solution not only identifies that an attack has happened, but allows you to see how and why it happened as well.\r\nAs organizations update and upscale to increasingly complex IT infrastructures, SIEM has become even more important in recent years. Contrary to popular belief, firewalls and antivirus packages are not enough to protect a network in its entirety. Zero-day attacks can still penetrate a system’s defenses even with these security measures in place.\r\nSIEM addresses this problem by detecting attack activity and assessing it against past behavior on the network. A security event monitoring has the ability to distinguish between legitimate use and a malicious attack. This helps to increase a system’s incident protection and avoid damage to systems and virtual property.\r\nThe use of SIEM also helps companies to comply with a variety of industry cyber management regulations. Log management is the industry standard method of auditing activity on an IT network. SIEM management provides the best way to meet this regulatory requirement and provide transparency over logs in order to generate clear insights and improvements.\r\n<h1 class=\"align-center\">Evaluation criteria for security information and event management software:</h1>\r\n<ul><li>Threat identification: Raw log form vs. descriptive.</li><li>Threat tracking: Ability to track through the various events, from source to destination.</li><li>Policy enforcement: Ability to enforce defined polices.</li><li>Application analysis: Ability to analyze application at Layer 7 if necessary.</li><li>Business relevance of events: Ability to assign business risk to events and have weighted threat levels.</li><li>Measuring changes and improvements: Ability to track configuration changes to devices.</li><li>Asset-based information: Ability to gather information on devices on the network.</li><li>Anomalous behavior (server): Ability to trend and see changes in how it communicates to others.</li><li>Anomalous behavior (network): Ability to trend and see how communications pass throughout the network.</li><li>Anomalous behavior (application): Ability to trend and see changes in how it communicates to others.</li><li>User monitoring: User activity, logging in, applications usage, etc.</li></ul>\r\n\r\n","iconURL":"https://roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_SIEM.png"},{"id":40,"title":"Endpoint security","alias":"endpoint-security","description":"In network security, endpoint security refers to a methodology of protecting the corporate network when accessed via remote devices such as laptops or other wireless and mobile devices. Each device with a remote connecting to the network creates a potential entry point for security threats. Endpoint security is designed to secure each endpoint on the network created by these devices.\r\nUsually, endpoint security is a security system that consists of security software, located on a centrally managed and accessible server or gateway within the network, in addition to client software being installed on each of the endpoints (or devices). The server authenticates logins from the endpoints and also updates the device software when needed. While endpoint security software differs by vendor, you can expect most software offerings to provide antivirus, antispyware, firewall and also a host intrusion prevention system (HIPS).\r\nEndpoint security is becoming a more common IT security function and concern as more employees bring consumer mobile devices to work and companies allow its mobile workforce to use these devices on the corporate network.","materialsDescription":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What are endpoint devices?</span>\r\nAny device that can connect to the central business network is considered an endpoint.

They both do away with the need for on-premises network security appliances, yet still provide centralized control and ease of use for building network security defense in depth. While UTM systems and <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">next-generation firewalls (NGFWs)</span> are sometimes comparable, unified threat management device includes added security features that NGFWs don't offer.\r\nOriginally developed to fill the network security gaps left by traditional firewalls, NGFWs usually include application intelligence and intrusion prevention systems, as well as denial-of-service protection. Unified threat management devices offer multiple layers of network security, including next-generation firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, antivirus, virtual private networks (VPN), spam filtering and URL filtering for web content.\r\nUnified threat management appliance has gained traction in the industry due to the emergence of blended threats, which are combinations of different types of malware and attacks that target separate parts of the network simultaneously. By creating a single point of defense and providing a single console, unified security management make dealing with varied threats much easier.\r\nUnified threat management products provide increased protection and visibility, as well as control over network security, reducing complexity. Unified threat management system typically does this via inspection methods that address different types of threats. These methods include:\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Flow-based inspection,</span> also known as stream-based inspection, samples data that enters a UTM device, and then uses pattern matching to determine whether there is malicious content in the data flow.</li><li> <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Proxy-based inspection</span> acts as a proxy to reconstruct the content entering a UTM device, and then executes a full inspection of the content to search for potential security threats.

However, if a virus or other security threat is detected, the device removes the questionable content, and then sends the file or webpage to the user.</li></ul>\r\n\r\n","materialsDescription":"<h1 class=\"align-center\"> How UTM is deployed?</h1>\r\nBusinesses can implement UTM as a UTM appliance that connects to a company's network, as a software program running on an existing network server, or as a service that works in a cloud environment.\r\nUTMs are particularly useful in organizations that have many branches or retail outlets that have traditionally used dedicated WAN, but are increasingly using public internet connections to the headquarters/data center. Using a UTM in these cases gives the business more insight and better control over the security of those branch or retail outlets.\r\nBusinesses can choose from one or more methods to deploy UTM to the appropriate platforms, but they may also find it most suitable to select a combination of platforms. Some of the options include installing unified threat management software on the company's servers in a data center; using software-based UTM products on cloud-based servers; using traditional UTM hardware appliances that come with preintegrated hardware and software; or using virtual appliances, which are integrated software suites that can be deployed in virtual environments.\r\n<h1 class=\"align-center\">Benefits of Using a Unified Threat Management Solution</h1>\r\nUTM solutions offer unique benefits to small and medium businesses that are looking to enhance their security programs. Because the capabilities of multiple specialized programs are contained in a single appliance, UTM threat management reduces the complexity of a company’s security system. Similarly, having one program that controls security reduces the amount of training that employees receive when being hired or migrating to a new system and allows for easy management in the future. This can also save money in the long run as opposed to having to buy multiple devices.\r\nSome UTM solutions provide additional benefits for companies in strictly regulated industries. Appliances that use identity-based security to report on user activity while enabling policy creation based on user identity meet the requirements of regulatory compliance such as HIPPA, CIPA, and GLBA that require access controls and auditing that meet control data leakage.\r\nUTM solutions also help to protect networks against combined threats. These threats consist of different types of malware and attacks that target separate parts of the network simultaneously. When using separate appliances for each security wall, preventing these combined attacks can be difficult. This is because each security wall has to be managed individually in order to remain up-to-date with the changing security threats. Because it is a single point of defense, UTM’s make dealing with combined threats easier.\r\n\r\n","iconURL":"https://roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_UTM.jpg"},{"id":25,"title":"Web filtering","alias":"web-filtering","description":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Web filtering</span> is a technology that stops users from viewing certain URLs or websites by preventing their browsers from loading pages from these sites.

They can <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">block content</span> as determined by quality of the site, by consulting known lists which document and categorize popular pages across all genres of content. Or, they can <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">evaluate the content</span> of the page live and block it accordingly.

Rather than allowing malware and ransomware to be downloaded, it prevents end users from visiting websites that contain these malicious threats.\r\nInternet filtering software is also one of the most effective ways to neutralize the threat from phishing. Phishing is a technique used by cybercriminals to gain access to sensitive user information. Phishers trick end users into revealing login credentials or downloading malicious software onto their computers.\r\nPhishing involves sophisticated social engineering techniques to fool end users into visiting malicious websites. If employees can be convinced to reveal sensitive information or download ransomware or malware, cybercriminals can easily bypass even the most sophisticated of cybersecurity defenses.\r\n<h1 class=\"align-center\">What is URL Filtering?</h1>\r\nURL filtering is a type of network filtering software that helps businesses control their users’ and guests’ ability to access certain content on the web. If you’ve ever gotten a “block” page while surfing the internet at the office, then your company is using web filtering.\r\nSome employers may only be concerned about blocking access to websites that are known to spread malware or steal information. Other businesses may block content they find inappropriate, such as adult websites or sites that promote violence, or content that violates compliance regulations. They may also choose to activate web protection software to block social media or video streaming sites to minimize drains on productivity and network bandwidth.\r\nTypically, URL filtering software is provided by a cybersecurity service, firewall, or router. Each of these may use a variety of threat intelligence sources to determine which websites fit into their chosen acceptable and unacceptable categories. That’s where highly reliable web reputation services are most valuable.

Secure email gateways can be deployed via an email server, public cloud, on-premises software, or in a hybrid system. According to cybersecurity experts, none of these deployment options are inherently superior; each one has its own strengths and weaknesses that must be assessed by the individual enterprise.\r\nGartner defines the secure email gateway market as mature, with the key capabilities clearly defined by market demands and customer satisfaction. These capabilities include:\r\n<ul><li>Basic and Next-Gen Anti-Phishing and Anti-Spam</li><li>Additional Security Features</li><li>Customization of the Solution’s Management Features</li><li>Low False Positive and False Negative Percentages</li><li>External Processes and Storage</li></ul>\r\nSecure email gateways are designed to surpass the traditional detection capabilities of legacy antivirus and anti-phishing solutions.

It is effectively a firewall for your email and scans both outbound and inbound email for any malicious content. At a minimum, most secure gateways offer a minimum of four security features: virus and malware blocking, spam filtering, content filtering and email archiving. Let's take a look at these features in more detail:\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Virus and Malware Blocking</span></span>\r\nEmails infected with viruses or malware can make up approximately 1% of all email received by an organization. For a secure email gateway to effectively prevent these emails from reaching their intended recipients and delivering their payload, it must scan every email and be constantly kept up-to-date with the latest threat patterns and characteristics.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Spam Filtering</span></span>\r\nBelieve it or not, spam filtering is where the majority of a secure email gateway's processing power is focused. Spam is blocked in a number of different ways. Basic spam filtering usually involves a prefiltering technology that blocks or quarantines any emails received from known spammers. Spam filtering can also detect patterns commonly found in spam emails, such as preferred keywords used by spammers and the inclusion of links that could take the email recipient to a malicious site if clicked. Many email clients also allow users to flag spam messages that arrive in their mailbox and to block senders.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Content Filtering</span></span>\r\nContent filtering is typically applied to an outbound email sent by users within the company. For example, you can configure your secure email gateway to prevent specific sensitive documents from being sent to an external recipient, or put a block on image files or specific keywords within them being sent through the email system.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Email Archiving</span></span>\r\nEmail services, whether they are in the cloud or on-premise, need to be managed efficiently. Storage has been a problem for email administrators for many years, and while you may have almost infinite cloud storage available, email archiving can help to manage both user mailboxes and the efficiency of your systems. Compliance is also a major concern for many companies and email archiving is a must if you need to keep emails for a certain period of time.","iconURL":"https://roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_Secure_Email_Gateway_Appliance.png"},{"id":469,"title":"Secure E-mail Gateway","alias":"secure-e-mail-gateway","description":" According to technology research firm Gartner, secure email gateways “provide basic message transfer agent functions; inbound filtering of spam, phishing, malicious and marketing emails; and outbound data loss prevention (DLP) and email encryption.”\r\nTo put that in simpler language, a secure email gateway (also called an email security gateway) is a cybersecurity solution that monitors incoming and outgoing messages for suspicious behavior, preventing them from being delivered.

Let's take a look at these features in more detail:\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Virus and Malware Blocking</span></span>\r\nEmails infected with viruses or malware can make up approximately 1% of all email received by an organization.

Spam filtering can also detect patterns commonly found in spam emails, such as preferred keywords used by spammers and the inclusion of links that could take the email recipient to a malicious site if clicked. Many email clients also allow users to flag spam messages that arrive in their mailbox and to block senders.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Content Filtering</span></span>\r\nContent filtering is typically applied to an outbound email sent by users within the company.

Secure email gateways can be deployed via an email server, public cloud, on-premises software, or in a hybrid system. According to cybersecurity experts, none of these deployment options are inherently superior; each one has its own strengths and weaknesses that must be assessed by the individual enterprise.\r\nGartner defines the secure email gateway market as mature, with the key capabilities clearly defined by market demands and customer satisfaction.

Vulnerability testing can also be used to test an organization's security policy, its adherence to compliance requirements, its employees' security awareness and the organization's ability to identify and respond to security incidents.\r\nTypically,<span style=\"font-size:11pt; font-family:Arial; font-style:normal; \">professional penetration testing</span>provides information about security weaknesses that are identified or exploited through pen testing is aggregated and provided to the organization's IT and network system managers, enabling them to make strategic decisions and prioritize remediation efforts. \r\nA wide variety of <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">software security testing tools </span>are available to assist with penetration testing, including free-of-charge, free software, and commercial software. Penetration tools scan code in order to identity malicious code in applications that could result in a security breach. Pen testing tools examine data encryption techniques and can identify hard-coded values, such as usernames and passwords, to verify security vulnerabilities in the system.\r\n Important aspect of any penetration testing program is defining the scope within which the pen testers must operate. Usually, the scope defines what systems, locations, techniques and tools can be used in a penetration test. Limiting the scope of the penetration test helps focus team members - and defenders - on the systems over which the organization has control.\r\n<p class=\"align-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Here are several of the main vulnerability penetration testing approaches:</span></p>\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Targeted testing</span> is performed by the organization's IT team and the penetration testing team working together. It's sometimes referred to as a "lights turned on" approach because everyone can see the test being carried out.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">External testing</span> targets a company's externally visible servers or devices including domain name servers, email servers, web servers or firewalls. The<span style=\"font-size:11pt; font-family:Arial; font-style:normal; \">objective of penetration testing</span>is to find out if an outside attacker can get in and how far they can get in once they've gained access.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Internal testing</span> mimics an inside attack behind the firewall by an authorized user with standard access privileges. This kind of test is useful for estimating how much damage a disgruntled employee could cause.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Blind testing simulates</span> the actions and procedures of a real attacker by severely limiting the information given to the person or team performing the test beforehand. Typically, the pen testers may only be given the name of the company.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Double-blind testing</span> takes the blind test and carries it a step further. In this type of pen test, only one or two people within the organization might be aware a test is being conducted. Double-blind tests can be useful for testing an organization's security monitoring and incident identification as well as its response procedures.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Black box</span> testing is basically the same as blind testing, but the tester receives no information before the test takes place. Rather, the pen testers must find their own way into the system.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">White box</span> testing provides the penetration testers information about the target network before they start their work. This information can include such details as IP addresses, network infrastructure schematics and the protocols used plus the source code.</li></ul>","materialsDescription":"<h1 class=\"align-center\"> <span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">What Is Penetration Testing?</span></h1>\r\nThere is a considerable amount of confusion in the industry regarding the differences between vulnerability assessment and penetration testing tool,as the two phrases are commonly interchanged. However, their meaning and implications are very different. A <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">vulnerability assessment </span>simply identifies and reports noted vulnerabilities, whereas a pentest attempts to exploit the vulnerabilities to determine whether unauthorized access or other malicious activity is possible.<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \"> Penetration testing</span> typically includes network penetration testing and web application security testing as well as controls and processes around the networks and applications, and should occur from both outside the network trying to come in (external testing) and from inside the network.\r\n<h1 class=\"align-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">What is a pentesting tool ?</span></h1>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">Penetration tools are used as part testing to automate certain tasks, improve testing efficiency and discover issues that might be difficult to find using manual analysis techniques alone. Two common penetration testing tools are <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">static analysis </span>tools and <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">dynamic analysis</span> tools. Tools for attack include software designed to produce <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">brute-force attacks</span> or <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">SQL injections</span>. There is also hardware specifically designed for pen testing, such as small inconspicuous boxes that can be plugged into a computer on the network to provide the hacker with remote access to that network. In addition, an ethical hacker may use social engineering techniques to find vulnerabilities. For example, sending phishing emails to company employees, or even disguising themselves as delivery people to gain physical access to the building.</p>\r\n<h1 class=\"align-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">What are the benefits of penetration testing?</span></h1>\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Manage the Risk Properly. </span>For many organizations, one of the most popular benefits of pen testing services is that they will give you a baseline to work upon to cure the risk in a structured and optimal way. It will show you the list of vulnerabilities in the target environment and the risks associated with it.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Increase Business Continuity.</span> Business continuity is the prime concern for any successful organization. A break in the business continuity can happen for many reasons. Lack of security loopholes is one of them. Insecure systems suffer more breaches in their availability than the secured ones. Today attackers are hired by other organizations to stop the continuity of business by exploiting the vulnerabilities to gain the access and to produce a denial of service condition which usually crashes the vulnerable service and breaks the server availability.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Protect Clients, Partners, and Third Parties.</span> A security breach can affect not only the target organization but also their associated clients, partners and third parties working with it. However, if company schedules a penetration test regularly and takes necessary actions towards security, it will help professionals build trust and confidence in the organization.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Helps to Evaluate Security Investment. </span> The pen test results will give us an independent view of the effectiveness of existing security processes, ensuring that configuration management practices have been followed correctly. This is an ideal opportunity to review the efficiency of the current security investment. What needs to be improved and what is working and what is not working and how much investment needed to build the more secure environment in the organization.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Help Protect Public Relationships and Guard the reputation of your company.</span>A good public relationship and company reputation are built up after taking many years struggle and hard work and with a huge amount of investment. This can be suddenly changed due to a single security breach.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Protection from Financial Damage.</span> A simple breach of the security system may cause millions of dollars of damage. Penetration testing can protect your organization from such damages.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Helps to tests cyber-defense capability.</span> During a penetration test, the target company’s security team should be able to detect multiple attacks and respond accordingly on time. Furthermore, if an intrusion is detected, the security and forensic teams should start investigations, and the penetration testers should be blocked and their tools removed. The effectiveness of your protection devices like IDS, IPS or WAF can also be tested during a penetration test.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Client-side Attacks. </span>Pen tests are an effective way of ensuring that successful highly targeted client-side attacks against key members of your staff. Security should be treated with a holistic approach. Companies only assessing the security of their servers run the risk of being targeted with client-side attacks exploiting vulnerabilities in software like web browsers, pdf readers, etc. It is important to ensure that the patch management processes are working properly updating the operating system and third-party applications.</li></ul>","iconURL":"https://roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_Penetration_Testing.png"}],"characteristics":[],"concurentProducts":[],"jobRoles":[],"organizationalFeatures":[],"complementaryCategories":[],"solutions":[],"materials":[],"useCases":[],"best_practices":[],"values":[],"implementations":[]},{"id":25,"logo":false,"scheme":false,"title":"Rapid7 Nexpose","vendorVerified":0,"rating":"1.70","implementationsCount":6,"suppliersCount":0,"alias":"rapid7-nexpose","companyTypes":[],"description":"Data breaches are growing at an alarming rate.

Vulnerability testing can also be used to test an organization's security policy, its adherence to compliance requirements, its employees' security awareness and the organization's ability to identify and respond to security incidents.\r\nTypically,<span style=\"font-size:11pt; font-family:Arial; font-style:normal; \">professional penetration testing</span>provides information about security weaknesses that are identified or exploited through pen testing is aggregated and provided to the organization's IT and network system managers, enabling them to make strategic decisions and prioritize remediation efforts. \r\nA wide variety of <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">software security testing tools </span>are available to assist with penetration testing, including free-of-charge, free software, and commercial software. Penetration tools scan code in order to identity malicious code in applications that could result in a security breach. Pen testing tools examine data encryption techniques and can identify hard-coded values, such as usernames and passwords, to verify security vulnerabilities in the system.\r\n Important aspect of any penetration testing program is defining the scope within which the pen testers must operate. Usually, the scope defines what systems, locations, techniques and tools can be used in a penetration test. Limiting the scope of the penetration test helps focus team members - and defenders - on the systems over which the organization has control.\r\n<p class=\"align-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Here are several of the main vulnerability penetration testing approaches:</span></p>\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Targeted testing</span> is performed by the organization's IT team and the penetration testing team working together. It's sometimes referred to as a "lights turned on" approach because everyone can see the test being carried out.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">External testing</span> targets a company's externally visible servers or devices including domain name servers, email servers, web servers or firewalls. The<span style=\"font-size:11pt; font-family:Arial; font-style:normal; \">objective of penetration testing</span>is to find out if an outside attacker can get in and how far they can get in once they've gained access.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Internal testing</span> mimics an inside attack behind the firewall by an authorized user with standard access privileges. This kind of test is useful for estimating how much damage a disgruntled employee could cause.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Blind testing simulates</span> the actions and procedures of a real attacker by severely limiting the information given to the person or team performing the test beforehand. Typically, the pen testers may only be given the name of the company.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Double-blind testing</span> takes the blind test and carries it a step further. In this type of pen test, only one or two people within the organization might be aware a test is being conducted. Double-blind tests can be useful for testing an organization's security monitoring and incident identification as well as its response procedures.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Black box</span> testing is basically the same as blind testing, but the tester receives no information before the test takes place. Rather, the pen testers must find their own way into the system.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">White box</span> testing provides the penetration testers information about the target network before they start their work. This information can include such details as IP addresses, network infrastructure schematics and the protocols used plus the source code.</li></ul>","materialsDescription":"<h1 class=\"align-center\"> <span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">What Is Penetration Testing?</span></h1>\r\nThere is a considerable amount of confusion in the industry regarding the differences between vulnerability assessment and penetration testing tool,as the two phrases are commonly interchanged. However, their meaning and implications are very different. A <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">vulnerability assessment </span>simply identifies and reports noted vulnerabilities, whereas a pentest attempts to exploit the vulnerabilities to determine whether unauthorized access or other malicious activity is possible.<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \"> Penetration testing</span> typically includes network penetration testing and web application security testing as well as controls and processes around the networks and applications, and should occur from both outside the network trying to come in (external testing) and from inside the network.\r\n<h1 class=\"align-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">What is a pentesting tool ?</span></h1>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">Penetration tools are used as part testing to automate certain tasks, improve testing efficiency and discover issues that might be difficult to find using manual analysis techniques alone. Two common penetration testing tools are <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">static analysis </span>tools and <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">dynamic analysis</span> tools. Tools for attack include software designed to produce <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">brute-force attacks</span> or <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">SQL injections</span>. There is also hardware specifically designed for pen testing, such as small inconspicuous boxes that can be plugged into a computer on the network to provide the hacker with remote access to that network. In addition, an ethical hacker may use social engineering techniques to find vulnerabilities. For example, sending phishing emails to company employees, or even disguising themselves as delivery people to gain physical access to the building.</p>\r\n<h1 class=\"align-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">What are the benefits of penetration testing?</span></h1>\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Manage the Risk Properly. </span>For many organizations, one of the most popular benefits of pen testing services is that they will give you a baseline to work upon to cure the risk in a structured and optimal way. It will show you the list of vulnerabilities in the target environment and the risks associated with it.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Increase Business Continuity.</span> Business continuity is the prime concern for any successful organization. A break in the business continuity can happen for many reasons. Lack of security loopholes is one of them. Insecure systems suffer more breaches in their availability than the secured ones. Today attackers are hired by other organizations to stop the continuity of business by exploiting the vulnerabilities to gain the access and to produce a denial of service condition which usually crashes the vulnerable service and breaks the server availability.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Protect Clients, Partners, and Third Parties.</span> A security breach can affect not only the target organization but also their associated clients, partners and third parties working with it. However, if company schedules a penetration test regularly and takes necessary actions towards security, it will help professionals build trust and confidence in the organization.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Helps to Evaluate Security Investment. </span> The pen test results will give us an independent view of the effectiveness of existing security processes, ensuring that configuration management practices have been followed correctly. This is an ideal opportunity to review the efficiency of the current security investment. What needs to be improved and what is working and what is not working and how much investment needed to build the more secure environment in the organization.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Help Protect Public Relationships and Guard the reputation of your company.</span>A good public relationship and company reputation are built up after taking many years struggle and hard work and with a huge amount of investment. This can be suddenly changed due to a single security breach.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Protection from Financial Damage.</span> A simple breach of the security system may cause millions of dollars of damage. Penetration testing can protect your organization from such damages.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Helps to tests cyber-defense capability.</span> During a penetration test, the target company’s security team should be able to detect multiple attacks and respond accordingly on time. Furthermore, if an intrusion is detected, the security and forensic teams should start investigations, and the penetration testers should be blocked and their tools removed. The effectiveness of your protection devices like IDS, IPS or WAF can also be tested during a penetration test.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Client-side Attacks. </span>Pen tests are an effective way of ensuring that successful highly targeted client-side attacks against key members of your staff. Security should be treated with a holistic approach. Companies only assessing the security of their servers run the risk of being targeted with client-side attacks exploiting vulnerabilities in software like web browsers, pdf readers, etc. It is important to ensure that the patch management processes are working properly updating the operating system and third-party applications.</li></ul>","iconURL":"https://roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_Penetration_Testing.png"},{"id":79,"title":"VM - Vulnerability management","alias":"vm-vulnerability-management","description":"Vulnerability management is the "cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, prioritizing, remediating and mitigating" software vulnerabilities.
