Businesses both big and small have found a great alternative in cloud due to its variable cost and pay-as-you-go utility model of computing, allowing clear gains and flexibility over traditional capital expenditure models of IT computing infrastructure deployment. Besides the obvious economic sense that goes in cloud, platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) also provide benefits of elasticity, dynamic scalability, built-in high availability and redundancy. While unprecedented market growth has been witnessed in the number of organizations embarking on cloud infrastructure, a survey also highlights that nearly 64% enterprises consider security concerns as the biggest barrier to adoption of public cloud platforms like AWS. Cloud adoption has reached a point where enterprises are turning to public cloud services like AWS for their tier 1 applications and critical customer data. However, there's a need for better security solutions for enterprise-class cloud infrastructure. This webinar explains Cyberoam's comprehensive security for AWS cloud and discusses opportunities for partners.

Miercom was engaged by WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. to conduct an independent, comparative performance assessment of its Firebox M270 against similar leading UTM network security appliances: Cisco Meraki MX84, Fortinet FortiGate 100E, SonicWall NSA 2650 and Sophos XG 210. All products were exposed to increasing traffic loads, with different protocols, while evaluating the impact on network performance. When identifying competitive equipment for this report, selected rack mount appliances were those closest in price (MSRP) to the Firebox M270. In each case this required models to be included that had a closer equivalent price to the WatchGuard Firebox M370.
Product comparisons were made using the following scenarios: firewall, additional security features and full UTM mode. Firewall performance measured transport and application network layer traffic. Then security features were individually enabled to evaluate the impact on performance for HTTP and HTTPS loads. Finally, the full set of security functions was enabled (firewall, intrusion prevention system, antivirus and application control) over HTTP and HTTPS.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

Cyberoam – CR200i: 5 Stars Rating FortiGate-110C: 4 Stars Rating
Cyberoam’s Real-Time RPD™ Anti Spam Technology
Cyberoam’s RPD™ technology focuses on detecting recurrent message patterns in outbreaks.
Message patterns are extracted from the message envelope, headers, and body. Patterns are
extracted in real time from the message hashes being continuously sent to the detection centers.
A Graphical comparison of Anti Spam Spastics:
1. Cyberoam’s Better Spam Detection Rate:
3. 2. Cyberoam UTM’s Minimal False Positive Rate:
If the user wants, Cyberoam also provides a Self Service Spam Quarantine area.
Note:
• The Fortigate numbers were taken from the Fortigate Knowledge Base. The link has now been
disabled.
• Fortigate publishes number of Fortimail. It is a secure email appliance and entails extra capital
and operational overheads.
Cyberoam Minimizes the Window of Vulnerability
Cyberoam provides proactive protection against new email-borne virus outbreaks, hours before the
signatures are released. It has introduced the proactive virus detection technology which detects and
blocks the new outbreaks immediately and accurately.
It provides a critical first layer of defense by intelligently blocking suspicious mail during the
earliest stage of a virus outbreak.
Gateway Load Balancing vs. Load Sharing: Automated vs. Manual
Cyberoam UTM provides Load Balancing. FortiGate provides Load Sharing.
Load sharing means one can split the traffic from a network to be transported by different routers
(paths). So it requires a pre-specified manual route configuration and there is no balancing.
4. Load balancing means distributing the traffic as per defined weights dynamically among different
paths to avoid link congestion and saturation. This can be done per destination in a round-robin
fashion. The packets sent by a host follow different paths to the same destination. All paths belong to
all hosts. So, as per the pre defined weights, the links are used. In case a specific user needs to use a
particular gateway; that can also be configured.
Multiple Gateway Support: Cyberoam Checks the Link for its Functional Requirement
FortiGate supports a Single Ping Rule to query the status of multiple gateways. If the ISP or the
external site has blocked the ICMP Ping, this rule can fail.
Cyberoam supports Multiple Failover Conditions using which a link status can be queried for the
specific functional purpose. Apart from the ICMP ping, Cyberoam also supports UDP and TCP
protocols to query the link status.
This implies that in case a specific link is used for a database server for UDP traffic and the ping does
not reply, FortiGate will consider it non-functional. While Cyberoam UTM will send an UDP Echo to
check the link status, and in case it received a reply, the link is functional.
Reporting
To get reporting in FortiGate the customer need to purchase and deploy FortiAnalyzer with a Fortigate
appliance. This is a steep escalation in terms of Capital Expenditure and Operational Expenditure.
In spite of this extra Capex and Opex there are a few reporting features that Fortinet still lacks:
1. User-wise reports of all types (Web Filtering, Internet Surfing, IPS)
2. User-wise Data Transfer
3. User-wise Search Keywords (reports of web searches)
4. Web Surfing Trends reports per: User, Organization, Site, Category(graphical reports)
5. Compliance reporting comprising of: HIPAA, GLBA, SOX, PCI, FISMA
Cyberoam also supports external reporting – iView.
Overview of Cyberoam’s Security Approach:
• Who do you give access to: An IP Address or a User?
• Whom do you wish to assign security policies: User Name or IP Addresses?
• In case of an insider attempted breach, whom do you wish to see: User Name or IP Address?
• How do you create network address based policies in a DHCP and a Wi-Fi network?
• How do you create network address based policies for shared desktops?
Cyberoam UTM approaches the Security paradigm from the identity perspective. The blended threats
circumvent the perimeter defense and launch an attack from within. The network’s own resources are
used to subvert it. The main target is thus the end user who knowingly or unknowingly breaches the
perimeter defense.
While providing a robust perimeter defense, Cyberoam UTM’s Identity-based access control
technology ensures that every user is encapsulated in a tight, yet granular security policy that spans
across Cyberoam UTM’s Firewall/VPN, Gateway Anti Virus, Anti-Spam, Web Filtering, Intrusion
Prevention (IPS) and Bandwidth Management solutions.
