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).
Speakers:

Deployment as Defined in Detailed Design
13. Global Design Assumption
•Lync Server 2013 “Core” Design
–Lync Server 2013 to be distributed to all major regions
14. Assessing Lync Server 2013 Global Readiness Agenda
•What does your business demand? Business requirements drive the design.
–Server Design and Pool Placement (Localization)
•Internal Servers
•DMZ’s, Reverse Proxies and Edge Servers
•Overlooked Infrastructure
–Hardware vs. Virtualization debate
–Network
•Capacity and Bandwidth Planning
•Health and assessing things like latency and jitter
•Traffic Prioritization (QoS)
–Deployment Considerations
•End User Acceptance
•Lync Server/Client Support and Management
•Deployment Ownership
•Involve other regions from the beginning
–PSTN Connectivity Considerations
•SIP Trunking
•Hardware Considerations
15. Server Design and Pool Placement
•Infrastructure Choices (Assuming full workloads)
–Standard Edition Server “Pool”: Non HA deployment Per Region
•4Servers minimum: Supports up to 5000 Users
–Front End
–Edge
–SQL
–Office Web Apps
–Enterprise Edition Server “Pool”: Full HA Deployment Per Region
•12 Servers minimum: Supports up to 6600 Users per Front End
–Front Ends (3)
–Edge (2)
–SQL (3)
–Office Web Apps (2)
–Persistent Chat (2) (Less Common)
–Disaster Recovery
•Lync Server Front End Server Pools “Pair” in a 1:1 relationship
•1:1 pairing relationship pushes your organization to an even number of “Pools”
•Must be same version for pairing
16. Server Design and Pool Placement
•DMZ Per Region… Ideally
–Edge Servers for media
•Keeps media local
•Media traveling between regions can be problematic
•Optimal user experience
•Disaster Recovery
–Reverse Proxy for web
•Web Access is “light weight”
•Can be a bit more relaxed on total amount of Reverse Proxies
•Still want at least 2 regions with Reverse Proxies for DR
–Overlooked Hardware Infrastructure
•Session Border Controllers and Gateways
•Firewalls, switches and Routers
•Hardware Load Balancers
17. Server Design and Pool Placement
Be prepared to make this decision and avoid “Sticker Shock”:
It is generally understood that an organization may not know exactly all infrastructure needed until after design sessions.
To keep the project moving, understand now that a significant investment may be required once your partner or internal team understands the business requirements and then ultimately presents you with a best practice design.
19. Hardware vs. Virtualization
Hardware
–Advantages
•Dedicated to the application
•Don’t need to collaborate with VM teams
•Generally more stable, SQL Mirroring typically exposes issues with VMs
–Disadvantages
•Hardware failure, not easy to “spin up” another Lync Server
•Can be cost prohibitive
•If an organization has standardized on VMWare, using Hardware is difficult to procure
20. Hardware vs. Virtualization
Virtualized
–Advantages
•Generally considered cheaper, Lower TCO
•Can quickly “spin up” a failed server
•Requires less hardware to manage
–Disadvantages
•Lync Server has tight requirements
•Cannot use HA and DR capabilities at the Hypervisor level
•Can be flaky. As stated above, SQL Mirroring will expose issues
•Does not support Live Migration, Vmotionor dynamic resource
21. Hardware vs. Virtualization
Be prepared to make this decision in the best interest of your organization:
Unsupported features such as Vmotionand lack of dynamic resources typically lead to long, drawn out conversations of back and forth between VM teams and Lync teams, which ultimately delays the project.
If your organization has a requirement to stay within supportability, then it’s best to follow the recommendations.
If an organization chooses the unsupported path, then the organization should open a support ticket with Microsoft directly to explain the situation and come to an agreement with Microsoft.
22. Network Readiness
Network Elements
–Bandwidth Planning
•Assess user locations and available bandwidth
•Determine user profiles
•Work with network team on Lync Server Bandwidth Calculator to determine impact/upgrades
•Create policies based on results
•Apply Call Admission Control
–Health Check (Optional)
•Network Assessment (third party) using probes
–Test lines for jitter, latency and things of that nature
–QoSand Prioritization
•Use existing queues
•Create new queues
•Tag at the desktop using Group Policy
23. Network Readiness
Be prepared to make this decision:
It is generally recommended to get your network “Lync Ready” prior to rolling out the Lync client for heavy media usage.
The primary reason for this recommendation is to achieve optimal user experience and adoption without creating a negative tone around Lync.
It is not, however, a reason to slow infrastructure decisions such as server requirements mentioned above for deployment of Lync Server 2013.
If Lync will be the voice and conferencing replacement, it is highlyrecommended to identify network restrained areas, fix them with policies or upgrades, or simply communicate to users the expectations.
26. Deployment Considerations
•End user acceptance and rollout
–Avoid “poisoning the well”
–Consider training
–Device choices –provide workshops
•Client and back-end system support
–RBAC model
–Consider tiered support model
–Server and voice teams will now blend
–Managed services
27. Deployment Considerations
•Deployment ownership
–Identify stakeholders
–Identify business requirements
–Expect to make plenty of decisions along the way
–Own the project
–Partners will bring best practices and recommendations, not all will be applicable to your environment
•Involve all regions from the beginning
–Regional deployment should be viewed as individual deployments
–Countries have different laws and regulations
–If not included early, the Lync project essentially restarts in each region… from the beginning
28. PSTN Connectivity for Voice
•SIP Trunkingis not the “end-all, be-all” solution
–North America is spoiled
–International carriers don’t typically share
–PSTN connectivity may stay the same in some locations
–Based on research and references, many locations (e.g. European Union member states and Russia) restrict global SIP providers from providing access
•(e.g. Belgium, Finland, Poland, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Dubai)
–The single trunkingvendor approach may cause unnecessary expenses
•Telco providers make agreements with the local vendors in each of the different countries to provide the service.
•This creates an additional cost that they describe as “interconnection charges,” typically based on expensive per minute usage.
29. PSTN Connectivity for Voice
•Hardware considerations
–Replace “core” telephony system with Lync
–Branch sites may require hardware swap
–Consider SBA vs. SBS+Gateway, vs. Full blown Lync server+Gateway
–Savings will come from reducing PBX maintenance sprawl and various “soft-costs”
