Safety in the Cloud(s): 'Vaporizing' the Web Application Firewall to Secure Cloud Computing
See also
Publisher's description
Cloud computing was not designed for security, although organizations such as Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) and Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) are making great strides in helping the industry solve the myriad security problems confronting cloud computing. The benchmark guidelines established by the CSA in the document, Guidance for Critical Areas of Focus in Cloud Computing, is a great first step. This white paper is intended to pick up where the CSA guide left off in terms of defining what a distributed Web Application Firewall (dWAF) should look like in order to meet the standards set within the CSA document. It includes recommendations and practical use-cases based on Art of Defence's own patent-pending dWAF technology.

Astaro Security Gateway Keeps Kauffman's Network Rolling
Kauffman Tire was operating without a spam filter, causing their associates' inboxes to be flooded with spam. The challenge was to seek out a modern firewall package and a reliable and effective spam filter. Astaro Security Gateway 320 was added as a firewall, to combat spam and enabled VPN access. The Astaro solution not only meets all requirements, the additional features would also be added over time.

As the number of security incidents had been sharply growing, the issue of security-defense draws more and more attention from network community in past years. Firewall is known as one of the most popular security-defense mechanism for corporations. It is the first defense-line for security infrastructure of corporations to against external intrusions and threats. A firewall will filter packets by following its policy rules to avoid suspicious intruder executing illegal actions and damaging internal network. Well-designed policy rules can increase the security-defense effect to against security risk. This paper applies association rule mining to analyze network logs and detect anomalous behaviors, such as connections those shown frequently in short period with the same source IP and port.

Firewalls have been a key component of any organizations Network Security Infrastructure. The basic task of the Firewall is to regulate/deter un-authorized access at the perimeter. However Firewalls have done little to thwart un-authorized access inside private networks. There are several inherent deficiencies that exist with Firewalls and this paper examines/explores the ways and means of solving this.

Long hours, non-stop pressure, problem solving 99% of the time - these are the typical words used to describe the day-to-day life of network engineers and firewall administrators. Making routine changes to the infrastructure should not be an additional source of stress, but with the additional roles of monitoring and troubleshooting often times it is. The reasons for this added stress are described in this paper along with an effective solution for addressing these problems using SolarWinds Orion Network Configuration Manager (NCM) and Athena FirePAC for firewall analysis.

Off late manufacturing sector, outsourcing is becoming more the norm than the exception. Companies have become more and more specialized within their value chains. OEMs that traditionally were production-oriented are increasingly outsourcing many of their manufacturing and supply chain functions to third parties (contract manufacturers, freight forwarders, and third-party logistics providers). Back-office functions, such as accounts payable, human resources, and IT management are steadily being sourced to specialized Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) firms.

This paper presents a software solution to Firewire-based physical security attacks on Microsoft Windows operating systems. In this first proof-of-concept, the FirewireBlocker service is running with SYSTEM privileges in order to be able to enable/disable hardware. While users can normally not interface with service, risk for privilege escalation remains. For example, if users with normal user rights have write access on the executable, they could replace it with a malign piece of software which would then be started with SYSTEM privileges. Future versions should establish the principle of least privilege. Further research is required to identify the fewest required privileges the FirewireBlocker service has to run with in order to be able to serve its purpose.
