  2. AAIT Reduction in Force • Funding need to support new services and better support under-staffed services • Overstaffed in some areas • desktop support - 1:60* ratio … industry standard is more than 1:100 … Emory is more like 1:200. • Staffed for services no longer provided by AAIT • Such as local support • Shift in AAIT support model • Transition Tier 2 to the service owners • Transition of services to other AAIT teams • Security breach process, SESA, and Managed AV to the Security team

  12. Data Access Security • What risks exist if accessing data on a different machine? • What can we do about this risk? • Plans for the future • Questions and answers

  13. Points of Risk 2 Web Server Database Server 3 protected data 4 1 PC Client 2 3 Sniffing Data Sniffing Passwords

  14. Risk Reduction 2 ASO Web Server Database Server 3 ASO SSL HTTPS protected data 1 4 PC Client ASO 2 3 ASO

  15. What about the Core • The Administrative Core is a good concept. It keeps out most of the hackers. • The core does not protect against staff members (or student workers) with curiosity or malice.

  16. How to use ASO • Oracle Advance Security is a feature of Oracle’s network connectivity. • It is controlled in the sqlnet.ora file. • Most machines already have what they need. • Changing a few lines in the sqlnet.ora file will do it.

  17. Advanced Security Options • Oracle allows for four levels of security. • Reject – This machine refuses to use advanced security. • Accept – This machine will use ASO if the other machine requests/requires it. • Request – This machine will ask to use ASO, but will not demand it. • Require– This machine must use ASO or it will not connect.

  18. SQLNET.ORA The security portion of the SQLNET.ORA looks like this: SQLNET.CRYPTO_CHECKSUM_TYPES_CLIENT= (MD5) SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_TYPES_CLIENT= (RC4_40, RC4_56) SQLNET.CRYPTO_SEED = qwertyuiop1234567890 .ORA = .ora # SQLNET.CRYPTO_CHECKSUM_CLIENT = accepted # SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_CLIENT = accepted # SQLNET.CRYPTO_CHECKSUM_CLIENT = requested # SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_CLIENT = requested # SQLNET.CRYPTO_CHECKSUM_CLIENT = required # SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_CLIENT = required # SQLNET.CRYPTO_CHECKSUM_CLIENT = rejected # SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_CLIENT = rejected Any pair of lines may be placed in the sqlnet.ora, but the computer on the server side must have compatible settings.

  19. The Future • Over time we would like all communication to be encrypted. • All servers set to required if possible, or to requested for servers with unusual clients. • There is no timeline at this point. • Would you like to beta test for us?
