Network Intrusion Prevention Design Guide: Using IBM Security Network IPS by Axel Buecker,Matthew Dobbs,Dr. Werner Filip,Craig Finley,Vladimir Jeremic,Alisson Quesada,Karl Sigler,Mario Swainson,Joris van Herzele,IBM Redbooks Pdf

Every organization today needs to manage the risk of exposing business-critical data, improve business continuity, and minimize the cost of managing IT security. Most all IT assets of an organization share a common network infrastructure. Therefore, the first line of defense is to establish proper network security. This security is a prerequisite for a logical set of technical countermeasures to protect from many different attack vectors that use the network to infiltrate the backbone of an organization. The IBM® Security Network Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) stops network-based threats before they can impact the business operations of an organization. Preemptive protection, which is protection that works ahead of a threat, is available by means of a combination of line-speed performance, security intelligence, and a modular protection engine that enables security convergence. By consolidating network security demands for data security and protection for web applications, the IBM Security Network IPS serves as the security platform that can reduce the costs and complexity of deploying and managing point solutions. This IBM Redbooks® publication provides IT architects and security specialists a better understanding of the challenging topic of blocking network threats. This book highlights security convergence of IBM Virtual Patch® technology, data security, and Web Application Protection. In addition, this book explores the technical foundation of the IBM Security Network IPS. It explains how to set up, configure, and maintain proper network perimeter protection within a real-world business scenario.

IBM Security Solutions Architecture for Network, Server and Endpoint by Axel Buecker,Kent Browne,Louis Foss,Jaco Jacobs,Vladimir Jeremic,Carsten Lorenz,Craig Stabler,Joris Van Herzele,IBM Redbooks Pdf

Threats come from a variety of sources. Insider threats, as well as malicious hackers, are not only difficult to detect and prevent, but many times the authors of these threats are using resources without anybody being aware that those threats are there. Threats would not be harmful if there were no vulnerabilities that could be exploited. With IT environments becoming more complex every day, the challenges to keep an eye on all potential weaknesses are skyrocketing. Smart methods to detect threats and vulnerabilities, as well as highly efficient approaches to analysis, mitigation, and remediation, become necessary to counter a growing number of attacks against networks, servers, and endpoints in every organization. In this IBM® Redbooks® publication, we examine the aspects of the holistic Threat and Vulnerability Management component in the Network, Server and Endpoint domain of the IBM Security Framework. We explain the comprehensive solution approach, identify business drivers and issues, and derive corresponding functional and technical requirements, which enables us to choose and create matching security solutions. We discuss IBM Security Solutions for Network, Server and Endpoint to effectively counter threats and attacks using a range of protection technologies and service offerings. Using two customer scenarios, we apply the solution design approach and show how to address the customer requirements by identifying the corresponding IBM service and software products.

Addressing Emerging Threats and Targeted Attacks with IBM Security Network Protection by Paul Ashley,Chenta Lee,Craig Stabler,IBM Redbooks Pdf

In networks today, organizations are faced with hundreds of new web and non-web applications that are available to their users. Social media applications, peer-to-peer file transfer applications, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), web-based email, cloud data storage, and many others are all readily available. The ease and speed at which these new applications can be installed or simply accessed reduces the effectiveness of a perimeter-based security architecture and provides many new types of risks. These applications can be used by an attacker to obtain initial access into the organization and bypass any perimeter-based security. This IBM® RedguideTM publication introduces the solution, which is a (IPS) that extends the capabilities of traditional protocol-based IPSes by providing application visibility and control. By using IBM X-Force® Research And Development, this solution provides critical insight and control of all user activities by analyzing each connection to identify the web or non-web application in use and the action being taken. The IBM Security Network Protection solution can then decide to allow or block the connection, and can inspect even those connections that are encrypted by SSL. Additionally, the X-Force IP Reputation information can be used to understand whether sites that are accessed are hosting malware, are BotNet Command and Control servers (C&C servers), or are phishing sites, and other important information. The IBM Security Network Protection can record connection information, including user and application context, and can use this information for local policy refinement, including bandwidth management. Alternatively, the connection information can be sent to a (SIEM) for security analysis and longer term storage. The IBM Security Network Protection consolidation of the traditional IPS function, in combination with sophisticated user-based application control and IP Reputation, can provide an integrated security solution. This approach allows for faster deployment and simplification of the administration that is associated with the deployment of multiple products, reduces the cost of ownership and complexity, and provides for better return on investment (ROI). The target audience for this publication is business leaders, decision makers, network managers, IT security managers, and IT and business consultants.

Security Guide for IBM i V6.1 by Jim Cook,Juan Carlos Cantalupo,MinHoon Lee,IBM Redbooks Pdf

The IBM® i operation system (formerly IBM i5/OS®) is considered one of the most secure systems in the industry. From the beginning, security was designed as an integral part of the system. The System i® platform provides a rich set of security features and services that pertain to the goals of authentication, authorization, integrity, confidentiality, and auditing. However, if an IBM Client does not know that a service, such as a virtual private network (VPN) or hardware cryptographic support, exists on the system, it will not use it. In addition, there are more and more security auditors and consultants who are in charge of implementing corporate security policies in an organization. In many cases, they are not familiar with the IBM i operating system, but must understand the security services that are available. This IBM Redbooks® publication guides you through the broad range of native security features that are available within IBM i Version and release level 6.1. This book is intended for security auditors and consultants, IBM System Specialists, Business Partners, and clients to help you answer first-level questions concerning the security features that are available under IBM. The focus in this publication is the integration of IBM 6.1 enhancements into the range of security facilities available within IBM i up through Version release level 6.1. IBM i 6.1 security enhancements include: - Extended IBM i password rules and closer affinity between normal user IBM i operating system user profiles and IBM service tools user profiles - Encrypted disk data within a user Auxiliary Storage Pool (ASP) - Tape data save and restore encryption under control of the Backup Recovery and Media Services for i5/OS (BRMS) product, 5761-BR1 - Networking security enhancements including additional control of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption rules and greatly expanded IP intrusion detection protection and actions. DB2® for i5/OS built-in column encryption expanded to include support of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption algorithm to the already available Rivest Cipher 2 (RC2) and Triple DES (Data Encryption Standard) (TDES) encryption algorithms. The IBM i V5R4 level IBM Redbooks publication IBM System i Security Guide for IBM i5/OS Version 5 Release 4, SG24-6668, remains available.

Network and System Security by Michael West Pdf

Intrusion prevention is the process of performing intrusion detection and attempting to stop detected possible incidents. Intrusion prevention systems (IPSs) focus primarily on identifying possible incidents, logging information about them, attempting to stop them, and reporting them to security administrators. In addition, organizations use IPSs for other purposes, such as identifying problems with security policies, documenting existing threats, and deterring individuals from violating security policies. IPSs have become a necessary addition to the security infrastructure of nearly every organization. IPSs typically record information related to observed events, notify security administrators of important observed events, and produce reports. Many IPSs can also respond to a detected threat by attempting to prevent it from succeeding. They use several response techniques, which involve the IPS stopping the attack itself, changing the security environment (reconfiguring a firewall), or changing the attack’s content. This chapter describes the characteristics of IPS technologies and provides recommendations for designing, implementing, configuring, securing, monitoring, and maintaining them. The types of IPS technologies are differentiated primarily by the types of events that they monitor and the ways in which they are deployed.
