Visibility: The Enabler for Security Anatomy of an Attack Cloaking complete Cloning & ‘go mobile’ Information extraction Attack commences Assessing the infrastructure Pilot probe attack Cloaking starts Data extraction or manipulation Intrusion commences Identifying targets Window of Exposure The “Golden Hour” Damage & scale assessment Alert & notification Second-wave detection Security established Anomaly detected Elimination Early stage containment Infrastructure wide response Attack identified
Two Architectures; Two Approaches “Wall and Watch” “Wall” – in band “Watch” – out of band • Limit the opportunities • Block the known attacks • Monitor traffic profiles • Alert to anomalies • Broad-scale monitoring • Signature behavior • Leverage multiple measures • The front-line against the unknown • Limitations • Limitations • Requirements • Requirements • Risk of over-subscription • Famine or Feast: SPAN or TAP • Increasing tooling demand & expanding network scale • Highly available architecture • Line-rate performance • Infrequent configuration changes • Powerful filtering capability • Multi-point triangulation • The more pervasive, the greater the value • Single point of failure • Potential bottleneck • Dependent upon “Maintenance windows”
