2019 01-30 Firewalls Ablaze? Put Out Network Security Audit & Compliance Fires
The growing body of regulations and standards forces enterprises to put considerable emphasis on compliance verified by ad hoc and regular auditing of security policies and controls. While regulatory and internal audits entail a wide range of security checks, network firewalls are featured prominently as they are the first line of defense of the enterprise network.
Typical networks might include tens or hundreds of firewalls from multiple vendors running thousands of rules. Auditing firewalls for compliance is becoming more complex and demanding all the time.
• Documentation of current rules and their evolution of changes is lacking
• Time and resources required to find, organize and inspect all the firewall rules to determine the level of compliance is exorbitant and growing
It’s time to adopt auditing’s best practices to maintain continuous compliance. Join us in this webinar to discover the Firewall Audit Checklist, the 6 best practices that will ensure successful audits and full compliance. By adopting these best practices, security teams will significantly improve their network’s security posture and reduce the pain of ensuring compliance with regulations, industry standards and corporate policies.
Dos and Don’ts for Managing External Connectivity to/from Your Network
In today’s global market place your organization needs network connectivity with external entities – suppliers, credit card processing companies, business partners, data feeds etc. But are you really sure these connections are secure and compliant? Are you really sure they are not inadvertently creating holes in your network and exposing your organization to cyber criminals? The Target breach – and many others like it – should at least make you double check your practices.
Presented by the renowned industry expert Professor Avishai Wool, this technical webinar will cover best practices for managing external connectivity lifecycle to and from your network, including:
• Defining the right infrastructure, network segmentation, security controls and additional security protections
• Managing changes to connectivity for third party applications or data feeds
• Routing partner traffic through your network
• Auditing and compliance challenges for both you and your partner
• Technical considerations for managing the business and ownership aspects of third party connectivity
Put out audit security fires, pass audits -every time
Compliance with network and data security regulations and internal standards is vital and mission-critical. But with increasing global regulations and network complexities, it’s harder than ever to keep up.
Firewall management and network security policies are critical components in achieving compliance. Firewall audits are complex and demanding and documentation of current rules is lacking. There’s no time and resources to find, organize, and inspect all your firewall rules. Instead of being proactive and preventative, network security teams are constantly putting out fires.
In this webinar, you will learn:
• The golden rules for passing a network security audit
• Best practices to maintain continuous compliance
• How to conduct a risk assessment and fix issues
Learn how to prevent fires and pass network security audits every time.

Movin' On Up to the Cloud: How to Migrate your Application Connectivity
Migrating applications to the cloud or to another data center is a complex and risky process. First, you need to understand the applications you are currently running (application discovery). Then, you need to define and map the existing application connectivity flows (pre-migration), so that you can easily reestablish them post-migration.
If done manually, this is a difficult and time-consuming process, and a single mistake can cause outages, compliance violations and create holes in your security perimeter.
Understanding the migration destination is just as important; cloud security architecture is fundamentally different from physical networks, and it is extremely difficult to translate the network connectivity flows to the cloud security controls and then manage network security policies cohesively across the entire hybrid enterprise environment. All in all, migrating application connectivity is a complex, tedious and error-prone process that can take months and often compromises security, compliance and business agility.
In this webinar, Avivi Siman-Tov, Product Manager at AlgoSec, will explore how to simplify and accelerate large-scale complex application migration projects, while making security a priority.
Attend this webinar to discover best practices to:
- Automatically discover applications and their existing connectivity flows
- Analyze, simulate and compute the necessary changes – even between different network security technologies such as traditional firewalls and cloud security groups
- Execute the necessary firewall rule changes, and mass-migrate relevant connectivity flows
- Assess the risk and ensure compliance throughout the migration process
- Deliver unified security policy management across the hybrid enterprise cloud environment
Managing application connectivity securely through a merger or acquisition – ...
Managing application connectivity securely through a merger or acquisition – best practices
When going through a merger/acquisition or a divesture process, companies typically need to move some of their applications to a different data center or to the cloud, merge duplicate applications, or replicate applications to new entities, and decommission the unnecessary ones in order to streamline operations and costs.
In practice, firewall policies will need to be changed or migrated to support the new connectivity, applications, servers and often new firewalls – without creating security risks, outages or compliance violations. This is a very complex project that, if not planned and implemented properly, can have a very serious impact on business operations.
Presented by Edy Almer, AlgoSec’s VP of Products, this new technical webinar will discuss best practices and a real-life use case, which will demonstrate how companies can successfully manage application connectivity through an M&A or divestiture process.
Key topics include how to:
• Automatically discover and map existing application connectivity flows prior to making any changes
• Proactively assess the impact of every change to ensure it does not break connectivity, affect compliance or create a security hole
• Define and execute the necessary security policy changes for traditional firewalls and cloud security controls
• Deliver unified security policy management across the new enterprise environment
Security Change Management: Agility vs. Control

A Pragmatic Approach to Network Security Across Your Hybrid Cloud Environment
How we think about and architect network security has stayed fairly constant for quite some time.
Until we moved to the cloud.
Things may look the same on the surface, but dig a little deeper and you quickly realize that network security for cloud computing and hybrid networks requires a different mindset, different tools, and a new approach. Hybrid networks complicate management, both in your data center and in the cloud. Each side uses a different basic configuration and security controls, so the challenge is to maintain consistency across both, even though the tools you use – such as your nifty next generation firewall – might not work the same (if at all) in both environments.
Presented by AlgoSec and Rich Mogull, Analyst and CEO at Securosis, this webinar explains how cloud network security is different, and how to pragmatically manage it for both pure cloud and hybrid cloud networks. We will start with some background material and Cloud Networking 101, then move into cloud network security controls, and specific recommendations on how to use and manage them in a hybrid environment.
best practices-managing_security_in_the hybrid cloud
Managing security in hybrid cloud environments is complex due to multiple security vendors, controls, stakeholders, and environments spanning on-premises, private clouds, and public clouds. The document outlines six best practices for tighter hybrid cloud security: 1) use next-generation firewalls in the cloud, 2) use dynamic objects to configure firewalls, 3) gain visibility over the entire hybrid network, 4) evaluate and remediate risk across the hybrid network path, 5) cleanup cloud security policies, and 6) maintain infrastructure-as-code security as part of the cloud change pipeline. Adopting these practices can help organizations securely manage networks spanning multiple cloud and on-premises components.

AlgoSec Application Migration Webinar
Migrating applications to the cloud or another data center– without creating security holes or causing application outages– is far easier said than done.
For starters, mapping existing application flows across complex enterprise environments pre-migration – which is critical in order to re-establish the correct traffic flows post-migration – is extremely difficult. A single mistake can cause outages, compliance violations and create holes in your security perimeter. Moreover, cloud security architecture is fundamentally different from physical networks, making it extremely difficult to translate application connectivity flows to the cloud security controls, and then manage network security policies cohesively across the entire hybrid enterprise environment. All in all, migrating applications is a complex, tedious and error-prone process that takes months and often compromises security, compliance and business agility.
Presented by Edy Almer, AlgoSec’s VP of Product, this new webinar will explain how to simplify and accelerate large-scale complex application migration projects, while ensuring security and avoiding business application outages.
The webinar will cover best practices on how to:
- Automatically discover existing application connectivity flows
- Analyze, simulate and compute the necessary changes – even between different network security technologies such as traditional firewalls and cloud Security Groups
- Execute the necessary firewall rule changes, and mass-migrate relevant connectivity flows
- Deliver unified security policy management across the hybrid enterprise cloud environment

The growing body of regulations and standards forces enterprises to put considerable emphasis on compliance verified by ad hoc and regular auditing of security policies and controls. While regulatory and internal audits entail a wide range of security checks, network firewalls are featured prominently as they are the first line of defense of the enterprise network.
Typical networks might include tens or hundreds of firewalls from multiple vendors running thousands of rules. Auditing firewalls for compliance is becoming more complex and demanding all the time.
• Documentation of current rules and their evolution of changes is lacking
• Time and resources required to find, organize and inspect all the firewall rules to determine the level of compliance is exorbitant and growing
It’s time to adopt auditing’s best practices to maintain continuous compliance. Join us in this webinar to discover the Firewall Audit Checklist, the 6 best practices that will ensure successful audits and full compliance. By adopting these best practices, security teams will significantly improve their network’s security posture and reduce the pain of ensuring compliance with regulations, industry standards and corporate policies.
Dos and Don’ts for Managing External Connectivity to/from Your Network
In today’s global market place your organization needs network connectivity with external entities – suppliers, credit card processing companies, business partners, data feeds etc. But are you really sure these connections are secure and compliant? Are you really sure they are not inadvertently creating holes in your network and exposing your organization to cyber criminals? The Target breach – and many others like it – should at least make you double check your practices.
Presented by the renowned industry expert Professor Avishai Wool, this technical webinar will cover best practices for managing external connectivity lifecycle to and from your network, including:
• Defining the right infrastructure, network segmentation, security controls and additional security protections
• Managing changes to connectivity for third party applications or data feeds
• Routing partner traffic through your network
• Auditing and compliance challenges for both you and your partner
• Technical considerations for managing the business and ownership aspects of third party connectivity
Put out audit security fires, pass audits -every time
Compliance with network and data security regulations and internal standards is vital and mission-critical. But with increasing global regulations and network complexities, it’s harder than ever to keep up.
Firewall management and network security policies are critical components in achieving compliance. Firewall audits are complex and demanding and documentation of current rules is lacking. There’s no time and resources to find, organize, and inspect all your firewall rules. Instead of being proactive and preventative, network security teams are constantly putting out fires.
In this webinar, you will learn:
• The golden rules for passing a network security audit
• Best practices to maintain continuous compliance
• How to conduct a risk assessment and fix issues
Learn how to prevent fires and pass network security audits every time.
Tal Dayan, AlgoSec’s product manager, will reveal the Firewall Audit Checklist, the six best practices to ensure successful audits.
By adopting these best practices, security teams will significantly improve their network’s security posture and reduce the pain of ensuring compliance with regulations, industry standards and corporate policies.
Movin' On Up to the Cloud: How to Migrate your Application Connectivity
Migrating applications to the cloud or to another data center is a complex and risky process. First, you need to understand the applications you are currently running (application discovery). Then, you need to define and map the existing application connectivity flows (pre-migration), so that you can easily reestablish them post-migration.
If done manually, this is a difficult and time-consuming process, and a single mistake can cause outages, compliance violations and create holes in your security perimeter.
Understanding the migration destination is just as important; cloud security architecture is fundamentally different from physical networks, and it is extremely difficult to translate the network connectivity flows to the cloud security controls and then manage network security policies cohesively across the entire hybrid enterprise environment. All in all, migrating application connectivity is a complex, tedious and error-prone process that can take months and often compromises security, compliance and business agility.
In this webinar, Avivi Siman-Tov, Product Manager at AlgoSec, will explore how to simplify and accelerate large-scale complex application migration projects, while making security a priority.
Attend this webinar to discover best practices to:
- Automatically discover applications and their existing connectivity flows
- Analyze, simulate and compute the necessary changes – even between different network security technologies such as traditional firewalls and cloud security groups
- Execute the necessary firewall rule changes, and mass-migrate relevant connectivity flows
- Assess the risk and ensure compliance throughout the migration process
- Deliver unified security policy management across the hybrid enterprise cloud environment
Managing application connectivity securely through a merger or acquisition – ...
Managing application connectivity securely through a merger or acquisition – best practices
When going through a merger/acquisition or a divesture process, companies typically need to move some of their applications to a different data center or to the cloud, merge duplicate applications, or replicate applications to new entities, and decommission the unnecessary ones in order to streamline operations and costs.
In practice, firewall policies will need to be changed or migrated to support the new connectivity, applications, servers and often new firewalls – without creating security risks, outages or compliance violations. This is a very complex project that, if not planned and implemented properly, can have a very serious impact on business operations.
Presented by Edy Almer, AlgoSec’s VP of Products, this new technical webinar will discuss best practices and a real-life use case, which will demonstrate how companies can successfully manage application connectivity through an M&A or divestiture process.
Key topics include how to:
• Automatically discover and map existing application connectivity flows prior to making any changes
• Proactively assess the impact of every change to ensure it does not break connectivity, affect compliance or create a security hole
• Define and execute the necessary security policy changes for traditional firewalls and cloud security controls
• Deliver unified security policy management across the new enterprise environment
Security Change Management: Agility vs. Control
Today's fast paced business application deployments and changes require IT, networking and security to be more agile than ever before. Yet this agility often comes at the expense of security, control and accuracy. When facing a barrage of cyber-attacks this is not an option.
In this new technical webinar, Anner Kushnir, VP of Technology at AlgoSec will explain how to address these contradicting requirements, and eliminate the tension between the two, through a unique zero-touch approach to security policy management.
In this webinar Anner will present:
• The challenges and requirements for zero-touch security policy automation
• How automation can support business agility while maintaining checks and balances
• Defining a policy for pre-approved "more of the same" low risk changes
• Handling exceptions, risks and escalation

A Pragmatic Approach to Network Security Across Your Hybrid Cloud Environment
How we think about and architect network security has stayed fairly constant for quite some time.
Until we moved to the cloud.
Things may look the same on the surface, but dig a little deeper and you quickly realize that network security for cloud computing and hybrid networks requires a different mindset, different tools, and a new approach. Hybrid networks complicate management, both in your data center and in the cloud. Each side uses a different basic configuration and security controls, so the challenge is to maintain consistency across both, even though the tools you use – such as your nifty next generation firewall – might not work the same (if at all) in both environments.
Presented by AlgoSec and Rich Mogull, Analyst and CEO at Securosis, this webinar explains how cloud network security is different, and how to pragmatically manage it for both pure cloud and hybrid cloud networks. We will start with some background material and Cloud Networking 101, then move into cloud network security controls, and specific recommendations on how to use and manage them in a hybrid environment.
best practices-managing_security_in_the hybrid cloud
Managing security in hybrid cloud environments is complex due to multiple security vendors, controls, stakeholders, and environments spanning on-premises, private clouds, and public clouds. The document outlines six best practices for tighter hybrid cloud security: 1) use next-generation firewalls in the cloud, 2) use dynamic objects to configure firewalls, 3) gain visibility over the entire hybrid network, 4) evaluate and remediate risk across the hybrid network path, 5) cleanup cloud security policies, and 6) maintain infrastructure-as-code security as part of the cloud change pipeline. Adopting these practices can help organizations securely manage networks spanning multiple cloud and on-premises components.

AlgoSec Application Migration Webinar
Migrating applications to the cloud or another data center– without creating security holes or causing application outages– is far easier said than done.
For starters, mapping existing application flows across complex enterprise environments pre-migration – which is critical in order to re-establish the correct traffic flows post-migration – is extremely difficult. A single mistake can cause outages, compliance violations and create holes in your security perimeter. Moreover, cloud security architecture is fundamentally different from physical networks, making it extremely difficult to translate application connectivity flows to the cloud security controls, and then manage network security policies cohesively across the entire hybrid enterprise environment. All in all, migrating applications is a complex, tedious and error-prone process that takes months and often compromises security, compliance and business agility.
Presented by Edy Almer, AlgoSec’s VP of Product, this new webinar will explain how to simplify and accelerate large-scale complex application migration projects, while ensuring security and avoiding business application outages.
The webinar will cover best practices on how to:
- Automatically discover existing application connectivity flows
- Analyze, simulate and compute the necessary changes – even between different network security technologies such as traditional firewalls and cloud Security Groups
- Execute the necessary firewall rule changes, and mass-migrate relevant connectivity flows
- Deliver unified security policy management across the hybrid enterprise cloud environment

The traditional network is bursting at the seams. Good old perimeter security, enforced by traditional firewall protection, is being joined by distributed firewalls, public clouds and a shared-responsibility security model.
Managing Effective Security Policies Across Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Environment
Enterprises are not only migrating applications to the cloud from on-premise data centers, but they are developing multi-cloud strategies to take advantage of availability and cost structures as well as to avoid vendor lock-in. In fact, IDC has predicted that more than 85% of IT organizations will commit to multi-cloud architectures already by the end of this year.
In complex, multi-cloud and hybrid environments, security teams need to understand which network flows and security controls impact application connectivity, including cloud-specific security controls (Network ACL and security groups) as well as virtual and physical firewalls that protect cloud resources. They need to manage policies that maintain their compliance posture across multiple clouds and hybrid environments.
In this webinar, Yitzy Tannenbaum, Product Marketing Manager at AlgoSec, will illuminate security-policy issues in multi-cloud and hybrid environments and show you how to achieve:
• Visibility across the multi-cloud network topology to ensure deployment of security controls that support network-segmentation architecture
• Uniform security policy across complex multi-cloud and hybrid environments
• Automatic monitoring of multi-cloud and hybrid network-security configuration changes to analyze and
assess risk and to avoid compliance violations
• Instant generation of audit-ready reports for major regulations, including PCI, HIPAA, SOX and NERC, in the context of multi-cloud environments
• Automatic provisioning of application connectivity flows across a variety of security controls in hybrid environments
Zero Trust Framework for Network Security
This document discusses the principles and challenges of implementing a zero trust network framework. It focuses on five key areas: visibility, automation, segmentation, compliance, and API integration. Visibility into the entire network is described as essential for security under a zero trust model. Automation is needed to process security policy changes efficiently across hybrid environments without errors. Proper network segmentation and isolation of assets is positioned as important for control. Compliance with regulations is discussed as being facilitated by a zero trust framework. Finally, API integration is presented as allowing business-driven security management and integration with other solutions.

20240609 QFM020 Irresponsible AI Reading List May 2024
Everything I found interesting about the irresponsible use of machine intelligence in May 2024
AI 101: An Introduction to the Basics and Impact of Artificial Intelligence
Imagine a world where machines not only perform tasks but also learn, adapt, and make decisions. This is the promise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), a technology that's not just enhancing our lives but revolutionizing entire industries.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

- 8. HOW CAN A DEVICE BE MISCONFIGURED?
- 24. SECURITY DEVICE CHANGE CONTROL PROCESS • Understand and map your enterprise infrastructure topology before you make a change • Proactively assess the impact of a change to ensure it does not break connectivity, affect compliance or create a security hole • Avoid common mistakes when making changes to your network security devices and firewalls • Monitor all changes in case there is an outage. You can easily reverse the newest implemented change if necessary • Translate business requirements into the network and security policies that are implemented on firewalls 24 | Confidential

- 27. TYPICAL SECURITY DEVICE CHANGE CONTROL PROCESS 27 | Confidential Plan Approve ImplementValidate Close Request 1 2 3 4 6 5 • Identify what devices need to be changed • In our example, there are three devices • CheckPoint • Juniper • AWS Server • How did we know?
- 28. VISIBILITY INTO THE PLANNING STAGE • We understand the topology of the network and the security policies associated with the devices in the path 28 | Confidential
- 29. Plan Approve ImplementValidate Close Request TYPICAL SECURITY DEVICE CHANGE CONTROL PROCESS 29 | Confidential 1 2 3 4 6 5 • Always perform a risk check BEFORE you approve • Understanding the risk during the approval phase gives you a chance to “replan” the change or deny it if it will cause undue risk to the environment
- 30. Plan Approve ImplementValidate Close Request TYPICAL SECURITY DEVICE CHANGE CONTROL PROCESS 30 | Confidential 1 2 3 4 6 5 • During the implementation phase consider how to insert the new security rule into the device’s current policy • Add a new rule? • Modify an existing rule? • Create new objects? • Automatically document the rule change
- 32. Plan Approve ImplementValidate Close Request TYPICAL SECURITY DEVICE CHANGE CONTROL PROCESS 32 | Confidential 1 2 3 4 6 5 • Check the request and validate it is implemented correctly before notifying stakeholders • Was the original request implemented: • In good working order for the entire path, so the requester does not ask for the same information again! • Exactly as requested? • With an overly permissive rule (ie. “any” vs https service)

- 40. GAP BETWEEN BUSINESS AND IT SECURITY • A simplistic summary of the Business and IT relationship: 1. The business created value for customer’s and has stored this data in databases and allowed users to access the data via applications 2. IT maintains the infrastructure to support the data (databases) and applications. 3. IT Security maintains secure access to data and applications so these assets don’t compromise the value of the business • Without 1, 2 & 3 above, a business would not exist • Applications provide a vehicle to create additional value for their customers • Applications and “data” MUST be secure and maintainable • Application developers and database administrators request security infrastructure changes as business requirements adapt to new customer and market demands • The security change management process has to improve - just like provisioning a web or database server….It only takes minutes now… 40 | Confidential
- 41. A SIMPLE DIAGRAM WILL DO….PLEASE!!! • The current challenge is that Information security talk a different language than application developers and database administrators (DBA’s) who are requesting application changes • Security architects must bridge the gap between a secure business application and operational disasters • How many organizations can document their business applications so the security team has a prayer in understanding how their applications works? 41 | Confidential
- 42. A SIMPLE DIAGRAM WILL DO….PLEASE!!! • The diagram to the right can be dynamically created to help document how the application interacts with the network infrastructure • Provides Security Architects with a communication vehicle to start the conversation • Dive one level deeper and understand the security 42 | Confidential
- 54. DATACENTER AND/OR CLOUD MIGRATION MOTIVES • Upgrade capacity • Save money – server consolidation • Mergers and acquisitions to combine resources 54 | Confidential
- 55. DATA CENTER (DC) MIGRATION • Requirements for DC • Complete inventory of what needs to move • Official and “unofficial” equipment • Discover the hidden assets via the security policy • New hardware and IP address schemes • Change Firewall Rulebase for transition connectivity • Migrate IPs in DNS servers • After migration is complete, decommission original application • Planning • What if analysis • What applications are using these servers? • What applications are impacted by these firewalls? • What applications are vulnerable to these security issues? 55 | Confidential
- 57. CUSTOMER PHILOSOPHY IS CHANGING • We currently see connectivity requests being manually planned, assessed, designed and implemented • This needs to change…..and quickly! • How do you manage these 1,000 security change requests? • Customers are moving to agile development & deployment • The Internet of Things is impacting service expectations • We are required to intelligently automate as much of the change process as possible • The bottom line is that security needs to dramatically improve change responsiveness with zero errors at a lower cost! 57 | Confidential
- 58. SUMMARY • Misconfigured devices can cause outages and security breaches • Use automation and validation to help reduce human errors • Help application developers and information security understand each other by automatically documenting applications and translating security policy rules into flows that everyone can understand • Use “projects” to help accelerate data center migration security policies so that it will be completed on time! 58 | Confidential
