Tags Share this article 8/9/23 Published As with all cloud vendors, AWS users share responsibility for securing their infrastructure against risk. Amazon provides the tools you need to filter traffic, but configuring those tools is up to you. Firewalls are one of the tools you’ll use to filter traffic and secure Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) instances. Instead of using traditional firewalls, Amazon provides users with AWS security groups, which are flexible, stateful firewalls capable of filtering inbound and outbound traffic. However, there are limits to what you can do with AWS security groups. First, they only allow traffic – you can’t configure them to deny traffic. Second, the maximum number of rules you can set for a single group is 60. This isn’t a big issue for an Amazon EC2 instance designed to address inbound traffic. You’ll either want your AWS EC2 to accept ingress from the entire internet or you’ll want to configure access for a few internal IP addresses. But for outbound traffic, 60 rules simply isn’t enough. You’ll use a dozen of them just allowing access to GitHub’s API . Add in a few third-party partners and you’re already well past the limit. Amazon VPC resource limits explained Amazon sets clear limits on the AWS services and resources it makes available to users. In some cases, you can increase these limits by contacting AWS support. These limits are generally assessed on a per-Region basis. Here are some of the limits Amazon places on AWS users: Security group limits 2500 VPC security groups per Region 60 IPv4 rules per security group 60 IPv6 rules per security group 5 security groups per network interface VPC and subnet limits 5 VPCs per Region 200 Subnets per VPC 5 IPv4 CIDR blocks per VPC 5 IPv6 CIDR blocks per VPC Limits to elastic IP addresses and gateways 5 Elastic IP addresses per Region 2 Elastic IP Addresses per public NAT gateway 5 Egress-only internet gateways per Region 5 NAT gateways per Availability Zone One carrier gateway per VPC Prefix list limits 100 prefix lists per Region 1000 versions per prefix list 5000 prefix list references per resource type Network ACL limits 200 Network ACLs per VPC 20 Rules per Network ACL How to manage AWS cloud security group limits effectively Traditional firewalls may have thousands of security rules, including a complex combination of inbound rules and egress filters. Crucially, they can also enforce outbound rules that include denying traffic – something Amazon does not allow regular security groups to do. While AWS offers powerful tools for securing cloud workflows, Amazon VPC users must find ways to overcome these limitations. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to achieve exactly that. Optimize your VPC security groups. Use Network Access Control Lists to secure assets at the subnet level. Use a domain name filtering system that reduces the number of IP addresses security group rules need to resolve. Optimize your Amazon virtual private cloud configuration Amazon VPC is a virtual network that contains many of the elements you’d expect from a traditional network. It has IP addresses, route tables, subnets, and internet gateways. Unlike a traditional network, you can easily configure many of your VPC environment through a command line interface (CLI). You can establish VPC peering connections, implement identity and access management (IAM) protocols, and configure elastic network interfaces without manually handling any hardware. But first, you need to set up and protect your VPC by setting up and configuring security groups. If you don’t specify a particular group, Amazon EC2 will use the default security group. If you haven’t added new security groups since creating your AWS account, you may only have that one default security group. The first step to optimizing security is expanding the number of security groups you have available. Here’s an example of the code you can use to create a new security group in the AWS console:aws ec2 create-security-group –group-name web-pci-sg –description “allow SSL traffic” –vpc-id vpc-555666777 This creates a new group named web-pci-sg and describes it as a group designed to allow SSL traffic on the network. Remember that security groups don’t support deny rules. Here is the code you would use to add a rule to that group: aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress \ –group-name web-pci-sg \ –protocol https \–port 443 \ –cidr This rule specifically allows SSL traffic using the HTTPS protocol to use port 443, which is the standard port for HTTPS traffic. You can use the last argument to specify the cidr block the rule will direct traffic through. This gives you the ability to manage traffic through specific subnets, which is important for the next step. This example focuses on just one type of rule in one context. To take full advantage of the security tools AWS makes available, you’ll want to create custom rules for endpoints, load balancers, nat gateways, and more. Although you’re limited to 60 rules per security group, creating many groups lets you assign hundreds of rules to any particular instance. Security architecture and network ACLs Network Access Control Lists provide AWS users with additional filtering capabilities. Network ACLs are similar to security groups in many ways, but come with a few key differences: Network ACLs can contain deny rules. You can write Network ACL rules to include explicit actions, like blocking particular IP addresses or routing VPN users in a specific way. Network ACLs are enforced at the subnet level. This means they apply to every instance in the subnet, in addition to whatever rules exist at the security group level. As mentioned above, each Network ACL can contain up to 20 rules. However, you can have up to 200 Network ACLs per VPC, which gives you a total of 4000 potential rules. Along with instance-specific security group rules, this offers much more flexibility for setting up robust AWS security architecture. Since Network ACLs can deny traffic, they are a useful tool for managing access to databases and other sensitive assets. For example, you may wish to exclude users who don’t have the appropriate permissions from your Amazon RDS instance. You may also want to filter SSH (Secure Shell) connections coming from unknown sources, or limit connections between different internal instance types. To do this effectively, you need to group these assets under the same subnet and make sure that the appropriate rules are enabled for all of them. You can also write asset-specific rules at the security group level, ensuring every asset has its own optimal configuration. The larger your AWS environment is, the more complex this process may become. Take care to avoid misconfigurations – it’s very easy to accidentally write security group rules and Network ACL rules that aren’t compatible, or that cause problems when you access the instance. To avoid this, try to condense your rules as much as possible. Avoid limits by filtering domain names directly Although you can create a large number of rules by creating additional security groups, you still may want to add more than 60 rules in a single group. There are many scenarios where this makes more sense than arbitrarily adding (and managing) new groups. For example, you might have a production instance that needs updates from several third-party partners. You also need to periodically change and update the technologies this instance relies on, so you’d like to keep its rules in a single security group. This reduces misconfiguration risk by keeping all the relevant rules in one place – not spread out across multiple groups. To overcome this limit, you need to reduce the number of IP addresses that the security group filters. You can do this by deploying a third-party solution that allows security rules to perform DNS resolution. This eliminates the need for AWS to resolve the domain name. Since AWS security groups can’t compute domain names on their own, you’ll need to deploy a third-party NAT gateway on your public VPC to filter outbound traffic in this way. Once you do this, you can write rules that filter outgoing connections based on their domain name. This effectively bypasses the 60 IP limit because you are not referring to specific IP addresses. At the same time, it simplifies management and makes rules much easier to read and understand. Instead of looking up and adding all of Github’s API IP addresses, you can write rules that reference the domain “Github.com”. If Github decides to change its IP infrastructure, your security rules will automatically reference the new addresses – you won’t have to go back and update them. The earlier you address AWS security group limits, the better There is an unlimited number of ways you can arrange your security groups and Network ACLs. Even in a small environment, the prospect may seem daunting. However, the flexibility Amazon provides to its cloud users is a valuable security feature. Those who go the process enjoy clear security performance benefits. If you start to planning for the architecture of your security and filtering policies early, you’ll be better equipped to scale those policies upwards as your organization grows. This will prevent security processes from becoming a growth bottleneck and maintain a high level of efficiency even as those policies become larger and more complex.

Firewall Change Management NGFW vs UTM: What you need to know Sam Erdheim 2 min read Sam Erdheim Short bio about author here Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur. Vitae donec tincidunt elementum quam laoreet duis sit enim. Duis mattis velit sit leo diam. Tags Share this article 2/19/13 Published Podcast: Differences between UTM and NGFW In our recent webcast discussion alongside panelists from Fortinet, NSS Labs and General Motors, we examined the State of the Firewall in 2013. We received more audience questions during the webcast than the time allowed for, so we’d like to answer these questions through several blog posts in a Q&A format with the panelists. By far the most asked question leading up to and during the webcast was: “What’s the difference between a UTM and a Next-Generation Firewall?” Here’s how our panelists responded: Pankil Vyas, Manager – Network Security Center, GM UTM are usually bundled feature set, NGFW has bundle but licensing can be selective. Depending on the firewall’s function on the network, some UTM features might not be useful, creating performance issues and sometimes firewall conflicts with packet flows. Nimmy Reichenberg, VP of Strategy, AlgoSec Different people give different answers to this question, but if we refer to Gartner who are certainly a credible source, a UTM consolidates many security functions (email security, AV, IPS, URL filtering etc.) and is tailored mostly to SMBs in terms of management capabilities, throughput, support, etc. A NGFW is an enterprise-grade product that at the very least includes IPS capabilities and application awareness (layer 7 control). You can refer to a Gartner paper titled “Defining the Next-Generation Firewall” for more information. Ryan Liles, Director of Testing Services, NSS Labs There really aren’t any differences in a UTM and a NGFW. The technologies used in the two are essentially the same, and they generally have the same capabilities. UTM devices are typically classified with lower throughput ratings than their NGFW counterparts, but for all practical purposes the differences are in marketing. The term NGFW was coined by vendors working with Gartner to create a class of products capable of fitting into an enterprise network that contained all of the features of a UTM. The reason for the name shift is that there was a pervasive line of thought stating a device capable of all of the functions of a UTM/NGFW would never be fast enough to run in an enterprise network. As hardware has progressed, the capability of these devices to hit multi-gigabit speeds began to prove that they were indeed capable of enterprise deployment. Rather than try and fight the sentiment that a UTM could never fit into an enterprise, the NGFW was born. Patrick Bedwell, VP of Products, Fortinet There are several definitions in the market of both terms. Analyst firms IDC and Gartner provided the original definitions of the terms. IDC defined UTM as a security appliance that combines firewall, gateway antivirus, and intrusion detection / intrusion prevention (IDS/IPS). Gartner defined an NGFW as a single device with integrated IPS with deep packet scanning, standard first-generation FW capabilities (NAT, stateful protocol inspection, VPN, etc.) and the ability to identity and control applications running on the network. Since their initial definitions, the terms have been used interchangeably by customers as well as vendors. Depending on with whom you speak, UTM can include NGFW features like application ID and control, and NGFW can include UTM features like gateway antivirus. The terms are often used synonymously, as both represent a single device with consolidated functionality. At Fortinet, for example, we offer customers the ability to deploy a FortiGate device as a pure firewall, an NGFW (enabling features like Application Control or User- and Device-based policy enforcement) or a full UTM (enabling additional features like gateway AV, WAN optimization, and so forth). Customers can deploy as much or as little of the technology on the FortiGate device as they need to match their requirements. If you missed the webcast, you can view it on-demand.

Micro-segmentation Building a Blueprint for a Successful Micro-segmentation Implementation Prof. Avishai Wool 2 min read Prof. Avishai Wool Short bio about author here Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur. Vitae donec tincidunt elementum quam laoreet duis sit enim. Duis mattis velit sit leo diam. Tags Share this article 6/22/20 Published Avishai Wool, CTO and co-founder of AlgoSec, looks at how organizations can implement and manage SDN-enabled micro-segmentation strategies Micro-segmentation is regarded as one of the most effective methods to reduce an organization’s attack surface, and a lack of it has often been cited as a contributing factor in some of the largest data breaches and ransomware attacks. One of the key reasons why enterprises have been slow to embrace it is because it can be complex and costly to implement – especially in traditional on-premise networks and data centers. In these, creating internal zones usually means installing extra firewalls, changing routing, and even adding cabling to police the traffic flows between zones, and having to manage the additional filtering policies manually. However, as many organizations are moving to virtualized data centers using Software-Defined Networking (SDN), some of these cost and complexity barriers are lifted. In SDN-based data centers the networking fabric has built-in filtering capabilities, making internal network segmentation much more accessible without having to add new hardware. SDN’s flexibility enables advanced, granular zoning: In principle, data center networks can be divided into hundreds, or even thousands, of microsegments. This offers levels of security that would previously have been impossible – or at least prohibitively expensive – to implement in traditional data centers. However, capitalizing on the potential of micro-segmentation in virtualized data centers does not eliminate all the challenges. It still requires the organization to deploy a filtering policy that the micro-segmented fabric will enforce, and writing this a policy is the first, and largest, hurdle that must be cleared. The requirements from a micro-segmentation policy A correct micro-segmentation filtering policy has three high-level requirements: It allows all business traffic – The last thing you want is to write a micro-segmented policy and have it block necessary business communication, causing applications to stop functioning. It allows nothing else – By default, all other traffic should be denied. It is future-proof – ‘More of the same’ changes in the network environment shouldn’t break rules. If you write your policies too narrowly, when something in the network changes, such as a new server or application, something will stop working. Write with scalability in mind. A micro-segmentation blueprint Now that you know what you are aiming for, how can you actually achieve it? First of all, your organization needs to know what your traffic flows are – what is the traffic that should be allowed. To get this information, you can perform a ‘discovery’ process. Only once you have this information, can you then establish where to place the borders between the microsegments in the data center and how to devise and manage the security policies for each of the segments in their network environment. I welcome you to download AlgoSec’s new eBook , where we explain in detail how to implement and manage micro-segmentation. AlgoSec Enables Micro-segmentation The AlgoSec Security Management Suite (ASMS) employs the power of automation to make it easy to define and enforce your micro-segmentation strategy inside the data center, ensure that it does not block critical business services, and meet compliance requirements. AlgoSec supports micro-segmentation by: Providing application discovery based on netflow information Identifying unprotected network flows that do not cross any firewall and are not filtered for an application Automatically identifying changes that will violate the micro-segmentation strategy Automatically implementing network security changes Automatically validating changes The bottom line is that implementing an effective network micro-segmentation strategy is now possible. It requires careful planning and implementation, but when carried out following a proper blueprint and with the automation capabilities of the AlgoSec Security Management Suite, it provides you with stronger security without sacrificing any business agility.

Hybrid Cloud Security Management Navigating the currents of cybersecurity trends Eric Jeffery 2 min read Eric Jeffery Short bio about author here Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur. Vitae donec tincidunt elementum quam laoreet duis sit enim. Duis mattis velit sit leo diam. cloudsecurity, hybridcloud, hybridcloudsecurity Tags Share this article 7/13/23 Published I spend my days talking with customers and prospects around their security solutions, primarily regarding securing application connectivity. Every conversation takes its own direction. Nevertheless, I hear similar challenges and goals across industries. I heard from a manufacturing firm that cost constraints require they centralize on Microsoft. An oil and gas company mentioned their needs to align their Operating Technology (OT) environment with their corporate technology solutions (IT). A healthcare organization let me know they were asked to use more Cisco technology and decommission competitive solutions. A financial services firm stated that they were looking to consolidate with zScaler thus eliminating numerous other security solutions. A second financial services firm inquired about AlgoSec Cloud offerings , so they ensure proper monitoring and security for their Cloud deployments. These themes appear and reappear daily, highlighting key trends throughout information security. The older I get, the more I understand how “the more things change, the more they stay the same.” Trends fall perfectly into this colloquialism, as we see organizations routinely move towards newer, hotter, and hopefully more powerful technologies. Working directly with customers of cybersecurity technology, I see similarities with direction and desire for future technical goals. Some of these I’ve seen before, such as centralization and consolidation. Cloud technologies have been around for a decade or more, but I consider this a current trend due to Cloud’s nature and diversity within the technology space. While specific trends come and go, the idea of trends remains the same. Cybersecurity professionals should understand current trends around the industry and see how these movements can improve their security maturity. In the fast-paced realm of cybersecurity, trends constantly emerge and evolve, shaping the landscape in which organizations operate. As I engage with customers and prospects, I uncover recurring patterns and goals that drive the industry forward. Understanding these trends is essential for cybersecurity professionals to strengthen their defenses and adapt to emerging threats. In this blog post, we will dive into the prevailing trends in cybersecurity today, providing insights to help organizations navigate the ever-changing currents. Centralization and consolidation: Empowering organizational control One significant trend is the movement towards centralization and consolidation. Centralization involves bringing technology resources into a unified location or under a cohesive solution. Consolidation focuses on streamlining vendors or technical suites to improve efficiency and reduce costs. For instance, organizations are exploring enterprise licensing options, such as those offered by Microsoft, which provide bundled services like MS Teams, O365, and MS Defender. This consolidation empowers businesses to replace multiple tools with integrated Microsoft technologies, resulting in cost savings and streamlined operations. Enterprise licensing grows in popularity (and could very well be a trend in and of itself) providing organizations an easy way to save money while using a consolidated solution. The most common enterprise license that I run into comes from Microsoft. Businesses that have certain license levels receive additional services such as MS Teams, O365, MS Defender, or other Microsoft technologies at either no or reduced cost. This capability empowers businesses to replace Zoom and WebEx with MS Teams. On the security front companies replace Crowdstrike, McAfee, Norton, and other endpoint protection solutions with MS Defender. For endpoint vulnerability management, Nexpose and Nessus see displacement by MS Defender Vulnerability Management. QRadar, Splunk, Exabeam and other SIEM lose out to Microsoft Sentinel. With a Cisco relationship, companies can potentially save money substituting Illumio or Guardicore in lieu of Cisco Secure Workload (formerly Tetration). With cost management sitting atop the list of priorities for CFO’s , consolidation is a consummate method for technology executives to align with this consideration. Consolidation trends reoccur regularly, especially during financial turmoil. Organizations looking to align technology with financial and business concerns should look to this trend and determine if/where benefits align. After consolidation, I hear a lot about centralization. While customers don’t use this word, at the core, this is what they are looking for. The main technical consideration around this consolidation falls under secure access services edge, known as SASE . SASE inherently centralizes security inside a robust environment that passes customer traffic. COVID-19 introduced a severe need to create secure solutions for remote workers. While SASE began pre-2020, the virus really launched this business (as it did with teleconferencing, a trend back in 2020 and 2021). Entities using SASE pass end user traffic through a central location which provides numerous security services. These offerings include virtual private networks (VPN), proxy, web-filtering, virus protection, spam protection, and many others. Each of these technologies also lends themselves to the consolidation trend tying both movements together. Organizations looking to cut costs procure SASE, align this with numerous information technology teams (networks, Cloud, security, etc.) and double up on trends. Embracing the power of the Cloud The Cloud has revolutionized the information technology landscape, and cyber security is no exception. Organizations are increasingly leveraging Cloud technology as part of their digital transformation journeys. From compliance to network security, application security, and identity management, the Cloud offers a multitude of benefits. It enables organizations to offload hardware maintenance, software upgrades, and data center costs while providing scalability and flexibility. My customers look to not only expand in single clouds, primarily AWS, MS Azure, and Google Cloud, they are going across Clouds creating hybrid deployments. Hybrid solutions enhance the need for security as cross deployments require extensive monitoring and review ensuring zero gaps. Cloud attacks happen more often than ever and with this trend continuing, industry must understand and secure these environments. The importance of staying informed To thrive in the ever-changing world of cyber security, professionals must stay informed about the latest trends. Whether it’s for cost optimization, enhanced security, or delivering innovative services, organizations need to be aware of opportunities to improve their information technology landscapes. Complacency can be detrimental, and understanding the current trends allows businesses to align their goals, enhance operational capacity, and safeguard their digital assets effectively. Centralization, consolidation, and Cloud technologies are at the forefront of today’s trends, offering organizations the means to grow, add value, and protect their data. In the dynamic realm of cyber security, staying ahead of the curve is crucial for organizations seeking to fortify their defenses. Centralization, consolidation, and Cloud technologies are driving the industry forward. By understanding and embracing these trends, businesses can align their strategies, enhance security postures, and capitalize on growth opportunities. As the currents of cyber security trends continue to shift, it’s essential to navigate these waters with agility and adaptability. By doing so, organizations can confidently steer towards success in the ever-evolving world of cyber security.
