  3. Implementing Firewalls and Proxy Servers • Planning and implementing, step by step • Security policies operate somewhere between the two extremes of “anything goes” (totally optimistic) and “no connection” (totally pessimistic) • 1) Plan • 2) Establish equipment • 3) Install • 4) Configure Guide to TCP/IP, Second Edition

  5. Implementing Firewalls and Proxy Servers (cont.) • Don’t ever work straight out of the box with a firewall or proxy server without checking for additional changes, updates, patches, fixes, and workarounds Guide to TCP/IP, Second Edition

  6. Understanding the Test-Attack-Tune Cycle • Harden the firewall or proxy server • Document the configuration • Do not disabled functionality that applications and services use to work properly • Battery of attack tools to test the network at • Network Associates • GNU NetTools • A port mapper such as AnalogX PortMapper or nmap • Internet Security System’s various security scanners Guide to TCP/IP, Second Edition

  10. Understanding Security Policies And Recovery Plans • A security policy is a document that • Reflects an organization’s understanding of what information assets and other resources need protection • How they are to be protected • How they must be maintained under normal operating circumstances • Restored in the face of compromise or loss Guide to TCP/IP, Second Edition
