whitepaper Verify Consistency Between Security Policy and Firewall Policy With Answer Set Programming2008-10-18 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  Firewalls are core elements in network security, the effectiveness of firewall security is dependent on configuring firewall policy correctly. Firewall policy is a lower-level policy which describes how firewall actually implements security policy. Security policy is a higher-level policy which defines the access that will be permitted or denied from the trusted network. Compare with software engineer, security policy is a design, firewall policy is a set of codes. It is useful to discover inconsistency between security policy and firewall Policy. This paper presents a method of verifying consistency between security policy and firewall policy, which applies the idea of model checking. First of all, two policies and the consistency are represented with logic programs.

whitepaper Research on Packet Filter Rules of the Firewall Based on Visual Prolog2008-10-18 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  The packet filter rules of firewall are established according to the needs of network security, while to manage filter rules becomes more and more complicated, and easy to make mistakes, especially in enterprise network. In order to implement correct policies, the firewall filter rules should be checked and organized carefully. This paper studied the relations between firewall filter rules, defined each kind of unusual situation, and through the expert system language Visual Prolog realized the function: to inspect the accuracy of the filter rules to deal with filter rules to inspect redundancy and so on. It has made positive effect on enhancing the intelligence of the firewall.

whitepaper UserGate Firewall & Proxy 5.02008-10-09 Entensys
  UserGate Firewall & Proxy 5.0 is a secure server with anti-virus & anti-spam, built-in firewall with NAT and web content filtering proxy for controlled Internet sharing. Access Internet from LAN using the included categorized web filter system and the built-in firewall provides effective protection against unauthorized access. Shared Internet access through the proxy server provides network users with a secure connection to the Internet. Through a simple web interface it is possible to manage users, rights, Internet access and control server access. As the Internet becomes more widespread, organizations will become more reliant on the Internet and the services it provides. With UserGate server any organization can harness the power of the Internet, and take advantage of services like attack & virus protection and shared Internet access.

whitepaper Quesgen Systems: Using the Vyatta Open-Source Router and Firewall to Secure Hosted Medical Data2008-10-08 Vyatta
  QuesGen provides a hosted online application for clinical researchers to share and manage medical research data. The QuesGen service is an innovative application for medical researchers to manage study data simply and securely over the Internet. When building the service, CEO was familiar with Linux servers and hosting environments and chose to launch the service using the inherent firewall capabilities of the servers themselves. As the service grew, they recognized the need to centralize the management of security policies to prevent runaway administrative costs. Vyatta's unique open architecture allowed QuesGen to easily deploy a commercially supported firewall that gave it the security and support it required, plus the additional benefits of system scalability and extensibility of services.

whitepaper Markets for Information: Of Inefficient Firewalls and Efficient Monopolies2008-10-03 Universidad Carlos III Madrid
  This paper studies, within a formal model, market environments where information is costly to acquire and is of use also to potential competitors. Agents may then sell, or buy, reports - of unverifiable quality - over the information acquired and choose the trades in the market on the basis of what they learnt. The paper finds that, in equilibrium, information is acquired when its costs are not too high and in that case it is also sold, though reports are typically noisy. Also, the market for information tends to be a monopoly, and there is inefficiency given by underinvestment in information acquisition.

whitepaper Advanced Systems Group Secures the Network With UTM-1 by Check Point2008-10-01 Check Point Software Technologies
  With company headquarters located in Denver, Colorado and eight offices distributed all over the western United States, ASG is considered a smaller company, employing just over 100 people. ASG is using Verizon Business for management of its wide-area network however the CIO was unhappy with the limitations they faced with their network managed firewalls. ASG sells and installs Check Point, as a certified partner, and wondered what solution could be used from Check Point to make the situation improve. Upon reviewing the features of Check Point's UTM-1 appliances, ASG discovered that they could basically turn off their managed network firewall and manage their own internet security.

whitepaper Interaction Between: Nokia Intrusion Prevention and Nokia Firewall2008-10-01 Nokia
  Firewalls provide protection between external networks and internal networks by blocking potentially malicious traffic from entering the internal network infrastructure. However, firewalls inherently need to allow SMTP/email, FTP, SIP/VoIP calls, and other protocols with minimal payload security inspection, which may also allow external threat sources to infect internal end-points and use them as threat sources. A firewall's deep-packet inspection capabilities are not as strong as an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). Nokia Intrusion Prevention provides the flexibility to interact with Nokia Firewall, providing the most effective strategy for threat mitigation, both at the perimeter and deep within the core. This paper explains the interaction between Nokia Intrusion Prevention and Nokia Firewall.

whitepaper Intrusion Defense Firewall: Network-Level HIPS at the Endpoint2008-10-01 Trend Micro
  Mobile computers that connect directly to the Internet outside of a company's firewall can introduce risk into the corporate network and thus require a higher level of security to protect against network intrusions. Host intrusion defense systems combine intrusion detection and prevention capabilities, and run on the host itself. This white paper examines a blended approach to host intrusion defense in search optimal security combined with an ideal balance between flexibility, control, and ease of management. Specific examples highlight the benefits and pitfalls of the many different filtering techniques. Host intrusion defense systems combine intrusion detection and prevention capabilities, and run on the host itself.

whitepaper Information Supplement: Application Reviews and Web Application Firewalls Clarified2008-10-01 PCI Security Standards Council
  Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)Requirement 6.6 provides two options that are intended to address common threats to cardholder data and ensure that input to running web applications from untrusted environments is inspected "Top to Bottom." The intent of Requirement 6.6 is to ensure web applications exposed to the public Internet are continually protected against the most common types of threats while running and accepting input. There is a great deal of public information available regarding web application vulnerabilities. This paper provides guidance to assist in determining the best option, which can vary depending on products in use, how an organization procures or develops its web applications, and other factors within the environment.
