Security Policy Management with Professor Wool Best Practices for Amazon Web Services Security Best Practices for Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security is a whiteboard-style series of lessons that examine the challenges of and provide technical tips for managing security across hybrid data centers utilizing the AWS IaaS platform. Lesson 1 In this lesson Professor Wool provides an overview of Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security Groups and highlights some of the differences between Security Groups and traditional firewalls. The lesson continues by explaining some of the unique features of AWS and the challenges and benefits of being able to apply multiple Security Groups to a single instance. The Fundamentals of AWS Security Groups Watch Lesson 2 Outbound traffic rules in AWS Security Groups are, by default, very wide and insecure. In addition, during the set-up process for AWS Security Groups the user is not intuitively guided through a set up process for outbound rules – the user must do this manually. In this lesson, Professor Wool, highlights the limitations and consequences of leaving the default rules in place, and provides recommendations on how to define outbound rules in AWS Security Groups in order to securely control and filter outbound traffic and protect against data leaks. Protect Outbound Traffic in an AWS Hybrid Environment Watch Lesson 3 Once you start using AWS for production applications, auditing and compliance considerations come into play, especially if these applications are processing data that is subject to regulations such as PCI, HIPAA, SOX etc. In this lesson, Professor Wool reviews AWS’s own auditing tools, CloudWatch and CloudTrail, which are useful for cloud-based applications. However if you are running a hybrid data center, you will likely need to augment these tools with solutions that can provide reporting, visibility and change monitoring across the entire environment. Professor Wool provides some recommendations for key features and functionally you’ll need to ensure compliance, and tips on what the auditors are looking for. Change Management, Auditing and Compliance in an AWS Hybrid Environment Watch Lesson 4 In this lesson Professor Wool examines the differences between Amazon's Security Groups and Network Access Control Lists (NACLs), and provides some tips and tricks on how to use them together for the most effective and flexible traffic filtering for your enterprise. Using AWS Network ACLs for Enhanced Traffic Filtering Watch Lesson 5 AWS security is very flexible and granular, however it has some limitations in terms of the number of rules you can have in a NACL and security group. In this lesson Professor Wool explains how to combine security groups and NACLs filtering capabilities in order to bypass these capacity limitations and achieve the granular filtering needed to secure enterprise organizations. Combining Security Groups and Network ACLs to Bypass AWS Capacity Limitations Watch Lesson 6 In this whiteboard video lesson Professor Wool provides best practices for performing security audits across your AWS estate. The Right Way to Audit AWS Policies Watch Lesson 7 How to Intelligently Select the Security Groups to Modify When Managing Changes in your AWS Watch Lesson 8 Learn more about AlgoSec at http://www.algosec.com and read Professor Wool's blog posts at http://blog.algosec.com How to Manage Dynamic Objects in Cloud Environments Watch Have a Question for Professor Wool?

Security Policy Management with Professor Wool Firewall Management 201 Firewall Management with Professor Wool is a whiteboard-style series of lessons that examine the challenges of and provide technical tips for managing security policies in evolving enterprise networks and data centers. Lesson 1 In this lesson, Professor Wool discusses his research on different firewall misconfigurations and provides tips for preventing the most common risks. Examining the Most Common Firewall Misconfigurations Watch Lesson 2 In this lesson, Professor Wool examines the challenges of managing firewall change requests and provides tips on how to automate the entire workflow. Automating the Firewall Change Control Process Watch Lesson 3 In this lesson, Professor Wool offers some recommendations for simplifying firewall management overhead by defining and enforcing object naming conventions. Using Object Naming Conventions to Reduce Firewall Management Overhead Watch Lesson 4 In this lesson, Professor Wool examines some tips for including firewall rule recertification as part of your change management process, including questions you should be asking and be able to answer as well as guidance on how to effectively recertify firewall rules Tips for Firewall Rule Recertification Watch Lesson 5 In this lesson, Professor Wool examines how virtualization, outsourcing of data centers, worker mobility and the consumerization of IT have all played a role in dissolving the network perimeter and what you can do to regain control. Managing Firewall Policies in a Disappearing Network Perimeter Watch Lesson 6 In this lesson, Professor Wool examines some of the challenges when it comes to managing routers and access control lists (ACLs) and provides recommendations for including routers as part of your overall security policy with tips on change management, auditing and ACL optimization. Analyzing Routers as Part of Your Security Policy Watch Lesson 7 In this lesson, Professor Wool examines the complex challenges of accurately simulating network routing, specifically drilling into three options for extracting the routing information from your network: SNMP, SSH and HSRP or VRPP. Examining the Challenges of Accurately Simulating Network Routing Watch Lesson 8 In this lesson, Professor Wool examines the complex challenges of accurately simulating network routing, specifically drilling into three options for extracting the routing information from your network: SNMP, SSH and HSRP or VRPP. NAT Considerations When Managing Your Security Policy Watch Lesson 9 In this lesson, Professor Wool explains how you can create templates - using network objects - for different types of services and network access which are reused by many different servers in your data center. Using this technique will save you from writing new firewall rules each time you provision or change a server, reduce errors, and allow you to provision and expand your server estate more quickly. How to Structure Network Objects to Plan for Future Policy Growth Watch Lesson 10 In this lesson, Professor Wool examines the challenges of migrating business applications and physical data centers to a private cloud and offers tips to conduct these migrations without the risk of outages. Tips to Simplify Migrations to a Virtual Data Center Watch Lesson 11 In this lesson, Professor Wool provides the example of a virtualized private cloud which uses hypervisor technology to connect to the outside world via a firewall. If all worksloads within the private cloud share the same security requirements, this set up is adequate. But what happens if you want to run workloads with different security requirements within the cloud? Professor Wool explains the different options for filtering traffic within a private cloud, and discusses the challenges and solutions for managing them. Tips for Filtering Traffic within a Private Cloud Watch Lesson 12 In this lesson Professor Wool discusses ways to ensure that your security policy on your primary site and on your disaster recovery (DR) site are always sync. He presents multiple scenarios: where the DR and primary site use the exact same firewalls, where different vendor solutions or different models are used on the DR site, and where the IP address is or is not the same on the two sites. Managing Your Security Policy for Disaster Recovery Watch Lesson 13 In this lesson, Professor Wool highlights the challenges, benefits and trade-offs of utilizing zero-touch automation for security policy change management. He explains how, using conditional logic, its possible to significantly speed up security policy change management while maintaining control and ensuring accuracy throughout the process. Zero-Touch Change Management with Checks and Balances Watch Lesson 14 Many organizations have different types of firewalls from multiple vendors, which typically means there is no single source for naming and managing network objects. This ends up creating duplication, confusion, mistakes and network connectivity problems especially when a new change request is generated and you need to know which network object to refer to. In this lesson Profession Wool provides tips and best practices for how to synchronize network objects in a multi-vendor environment for both legacy scenarios, and greenfield scenarios. Synchronized Object Management in a Multi-Vendor Environment Watch Lesson 15 Many organizations have both a firewall management system as well as a CMDB, yet these systems do not communicate with each other and their data is not synchronized. This becomes a problem when making security policy change requests, and typically someone needs to manually translate the names used by in the firewall management system to the name in the CMDB, which is a slow and error-prone process, in order for the change request to work. In this lesson Professor Wool provides tips on how to use a network security policy management to coordinate between the two system, match the object names, and then automatically populate the change management process with the correct names and definitions. How to Synchronize Object Management with a CMDB Watch Lesson 16 Some companies use tools to automatically convert firewall rules from an old firewall, due to be retired, to a new firewall. In this lesson, Professor Wool explains why this process can be risky and provides some specific technical examples. He then presents a more realistic way to manage the firewall rule migration process that involves stages and checks and balances to ensure a smooth, secure transition to the new firewall that maintains secure connectivity. How to Take Control of a Firewall Migration Project Watch Lesson 17 PCI-DSS 3.2 regulation requirement 6.1 mandates that organizations establish a process for identifying security vulnerabilities on the servers that are within the scope of PCI. In this new lesson, Professor Wool explains how to address this requirement by presenting vulnerability data by both the servers and the by business processes that rely on each server. He discusses why this method is important and how it allows companies to achieve compliance while ensuring ongoing business operations. PCI – Linking Vulnerabilities to Business Applications Watch Lesson 18 Collaboration tools such as Slack provide a convenient way to have group discussions and complete collaborative business tasks. Now, these automated chatbots can be used for answering questions and handling tasks for development, IT and infosecurity teams. For example, enterprises can use chatbots to automate information-sharing across silos, such as between IT and application owners. So rather than having to call somebody and ask them “Is that system up? What happened to my security change request?” and so on, tracking helpdesk issues and the status of help requests can become much more accessible and responsive. Chatbots also make access to siloed resources more democratic and more widely available across the organization (subject, of course to the necessary access rights). In this video, Prof. Wool discusses how automated chatbots can be used to help a wide range of users for their security policy management tasks – thereby improving service to stakeholders and helping to accelerate security policy change processes across the enterprise.

FireFlow zero-touch change management integrates strategy, planning and design, implementing proactive risk analysis, validation and auditing to prevent errors and save time. How can I manage my firewall security policy? Firewall change requests are requests for a firewall configuration change which result in a change to the network security infrastructure. Firewall change requests must be monitored to prevent unintentional errors that violate compliance standards or increase vulnerabilities to the network. What are firewall change requests? Firewall policy rules determine what traffic your firewall allows and what is blocked. Firewall rules examine the control information in individual packets, and either block or allow them according to the criteria that you define. Firewall rules control how the firewalls protect your network from malicious programs and unauthorized access. What are firewall policy rules? When making changes to firewall rules, be aware of any potential security risks. Firewall rules should always be documented, with the creation and expiration date, the name of the person who added the rule and clarification of the rule’s purpose and what applications, services, devices, users and data it affects.
