  6. Securing from Outside Attacks

  7. Securing from All Attacks Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) • TippingPoint UnityOne 2400 • #1 IPS System in the market • 2 Gbps Wire Speed Throughput • ~11,000 Attacks/Exploits Prevention • Extensive Reporting

  8. Securing from Outside Attacks SPAM and EMAIL VIRUS PROTECTION • Spam is: Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE) • Unsolicited means that the recipient has not granted verifiable permission for the message to be sent. • Bulk means that the message is sent as part of a larger collection of messages, all having substantively identical content. • A message is Spam only if it is both Unsolicited and Bulk. • How do we Protect from Spam? • BrightMail (a Microsoft Partner) • BL and WL • Content Filtering

  9. Securing from Outside Attacks

  10. Securing from Outside Attacks • A web access is initiated from the LAN • A content engine examines the request for policy compliance. • If the request is valid it forwards it to the cache • If the request is invalid it returns a message to the user. • The Web Cache intercepts the request • HIT - If the request is in cache it is served from the cache • MISS - If the request is not in cache it is forwarded to the internet

  11. Securing from Outside Attacks Web Administration and Caching BEFORE AFTER

  12. Securing from Inside Attacks Latest Threats and Attacks • Computer Viruses and Worms • Adware, Spyware, Malware, Phishing, Pharming • Bots, Botnets and Rootkits • Buffer Overflows … attacking the stack • Secure yourself … the power of knowledge.
