Do you think it requires an advanced degree to initiate an advanced security attack? Think again. Tool kits are readily available for immediate download that guide those with even just basic computer skills through the steps to initiate complex network attacks. But all hope is not lost. One of the best defenses is readily available in the market today – network recorders with network forensics – and when combined with the appropriate visibility fabric architecture, these solutions defend against attacks on even the fastest networks available today. Join WildPackets and Gigamon as we explore the current state of network attacks, network vulnerabilities, and the solutions available to combat the most aggressive, and the most subtle, attacks.

- 12. © WildPackets, Inc. 15 Challenges • IDS/IPS and other tools raise alerts • But security teams need details ‒ Who, what, where, when ‒ Answers require network visibility • Network visibility declining overall ‒ Last-generation network analysis tools can’t keep up with 10G, 40G, and 100G networks ‒ Market trend for high-level stats such as NetFlow and traffic sampling leave security analysts with generalities not specifics
- 13. © WildPackets, Inc. 16 Network-Based Attack Analysis • Benefits ‒ Give security teams evidence and insight • A comprehensive record of network activity • Powerful search and filtering tools for zeroing in on anomalies and attack details ‒ Enable security teams to act quickly • Find proof of attacks • Characterize attacks and stop them ‒ Who, what, where, when • Solution: Packet Capture + Network Forensics ‒ Record, store, and analyze traffic ‒ Uncover and understand attacks so they can be stopped ‒ Tools include deep packet inspection, searches, filters, graphs, etc. Full visibility into everything going in and out of your network

- 17. © WildPackets, Inc. 22 Action Problem At approximately 11:20am IDS/IPS reports an nmap decoy attack; a number of phony addresses were used by nmap as source IP’s in addition to the actual attack machine IP Use network forensics to rewind the attack, saving all packets from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after the report for detailed network analysis

- 20. © WildPackets, Inc. 25 Incident Response Verification Applying Attack Intelligence and Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), WildPackets provides unprecedented visibility into network events, enabling security analysts to conduct full Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Attack Analysis Results: Reduced MTTR for Attacks Reduce Impact of Attacks Investigate Confirm Characterize Resolve
- 21. © WildPackets, Inc. 26 Action Problem The internal security team has identified a previously undetected major security threat; the signature says it uses windows messenger service and has a UDP packet that contains “STOP! WINDOWS REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION…” Immediately identify any and all systems on the network that have potentially been affected by the threat, even before the threat was initially detected
- 22. © WildPackets, Inc. 27
- 23. © WildPackets, Inc. 28 Zero Day Attack Forensics • Unprecedented opportunity to ask: ‒ Has a newly recognized attack previously struck our network? If so, what happened? • Replay recorded network traffic to event detection systems to discover if the new incident had occurred previously and understand who and what was affected. • AKA “Retrospective Security Assurance” IT begins recording network traffic Zero-Day attack strikes Updates to security tools recognize attack Security team replays traffic through attack signature
- 24. © WildPackets, Inc. 29 Action Problem Hundreds of users of a wireless network in a large auditorium find they cannot maintain a VPN connection, nor can they reliably connect to the Internet; everyone seems to be affected IDS/IPS reports no problems; assess overall network connectivity and look for anomalies
- 25. © WildPackets, Inc. 30 Incident Path Tracking Using built-in peer-to-peer analytics, WildPackets’ Incident Path Tracking can trace the sequence of conversations between every device on the network before and after the security event Result: Identify the security attack, in this case “denial of service”, the source of the attack, and all the affected devices
- 26. © WildPackets, Inc. 31 Action Problem While reviewing the weekly network performance report clear text protocols were discovered which violate company the security policy Find FTP traffic and identify suspected users; analyze FTP traffic to see if sensitive data was transmitted.
