ASA 5515x and web content filtering

hi all
i tried adding a content rule on my asa 5515x, it say i don' t have one configured in configuration/firewall/url filtering.  when i got there, i need to configure either websense or smartfiler.  Are those free or I need to purchase that from those vendor?  My 5515x is security plus, is that included there?
does asa 5515x have it's own filtering without going to third party vendor?
thanks for any comment you may add.

As already mentioned, the MPF has the capability to filter on URLs. But that is quite limited and in my opinion not usable at all (unless you only have a couple of FQDNs to filter that don't change often). If you need more functionality and you want to stay on the ASA you could deploy ASA-CX. Otherwise you could deploy a dedicated proxy and force your users to use that proxy. That could be the best solution in your environment.

  • IOS web content filtering cannot get trend micro filter

    hi, i just wondering how really i can get my router's content filtering connect to trps.trendmicro.com server again. previously it was success to get connect to the server, after i doing some changes on my zone-pair firewall then it cannot connect to the trend micro server anymore.
    sh ip trm subscription status showing that i successfully connected and registerd
    all the installation guide is doing accordingly,then i turn on my debug crypto pli validation and debug ip trm detail, all showing success connection to trendmicro site.
    parameter-map type trend-global <param> are pointing to the trps.trendmicro.com, my class-map and policy-map didn't have any changes since last success connection.
    zone-pair setting also attach with the right policy-map that serve for service-policy urlfilter <name>
    overall, after my zone-pair firewall is UP again, then my web content filtering is gone, while registeration is made..
    anyone have any idea what really happen?
    thanks

    Hi Yongkhang,
    I think in order to figure out what is happening, we need to troubleshoot and see the config, data and other show commands.  I'm not sure if you would feel comfortable posting that here.  Therefore, i think its best to open up a case with tac on it so that it can be troubleshot to see why you cant access the trend micro server.
    can you let me know what you mean by when you turn on your ZBF, your web content filtering is gone.  Are you saying, when you turn on zbf, the web content filtering is no longer blocking or allowing sites?
    have you ran the following debugs?
    debug ip urlfilter detail
    debug ip urlfilter event
    debug ip url filter function-trace
    also, what does this show:
    show policy-map type inspect zone-pair urlfilter
    Are you sure you have the class maps in the proper order since its processed sequentially..
    regards,
    scott

  • Web content filtering

    My company currently uses a product called Websense that provides web security and content filtering. The content filtering operates as a  proxy server and Safari doesn't work with it. We would like to migrate toward the use of iPad's, but we need to find a solutions for web/content filtering. We want the ability to globally establish policies and control the web filtering at the enterprise level. They would like to avoid replacing the browser. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks

    You can setup a proxy for your WiFi network in Settings > WiFi > (your SSID) > HTTP Proxy. This approach has two limitations:
    1. You can only setup the proxy when the device is on that specific WiFi network
    2. The setting cannot be locked and can be changed by the user at any time
    When Apple announced iOS 6 two weeks ago, one of the slides had a suggestion of a Global HTTP Proxy, but the limitation above may still apply.
    Another approach is to use a Safe Browser like Mobicip. The browser is equivalent to Safari in terms of functionality, and allows you to globally establish policies and control the web filtering at the enterprise level. The limitation of this approach, actually a limitation of iOS, is that links from other apps will need to be copy/pasted into the safe browser.
    Hope this helps.

  • Adobe DPS and web content viewer issues

    Having an issue with the tablet and web content viewer version of this particular article. I've create two separate documents one for iPad and one for iPhone, reuploaded the article and recreate the entire article all in the hopes that it would resolve the issue. Any ideas as to how I can remedy this problem? Thanks.

    This is a known issue with smooth scrolling articles in the web viewer: From Digital Publishing Suite Help | DPS Bug Fix Release Notes:
    "Smooth Scrolling articles in web viewer may not display properly on the last page if the length of the smooth scrolling article is not an exact multiple of the folio height. For example, the last page of a 1024x2000 article may be cropped, but a 1024x1536 (2 times the height) or a 1024x2304 (3 times the height) should display fine. The issue is especially common in portrait orientation. One workaround is to make the height of the smooth scrolling page height an exact multiple of the folio height. Another workaround is to use PNG image format for the Smooth Scrolling article instead of PDF."

  • Web Content Filtering on WP8+

    Is there (or will there be) any way to filter web content on WP8+ devices?
    We can disable WiFi and rely on carrier content filtering but would like the option of WiFi if possible.

    This is not something that is offered today through Intune.  However, we will take this as feedback.

  • Web Content Filtering / Virus Scanning appliance

    Hello all,
    I'm in the market for a content / url / virus scanning device for our network. We are currently using MXLogic's Web Defense service and while it's very cheap it is not suiting our needs. What I'm looking for is an appliance that will do content filtering but also virus / malware / spyware scanning on web traffic. I'd also need to be able to setup policies / groups for different set's of users. For instance the folks who purchase the products we sell need to be able to see our vendors media (streaming video) content while our sales folks don't. I can't currently do this with MXLogic, it's all or nothing.
    Our firewall is an ASA5510 and I've looked at the Content Security SSM-10 module with the plus license and while the pricing is definitely attractive I have a few questions about it. Does it integrate with MS Active Directory? In other words and it filter based on groups and policies or is it more IP / ACL based? Also does it perform well?
    I've also looked at the IronPort product cisco sell's and have similar questions regarding that mainly what are folks experience with it, is it something you would recommend?

    Hi Allen,
    To answer your questions related to the CSC module:
    1. No, the CSC module does not integrate with Active Directory. This is something that Trend Micro has in the works, but as of now there is no ETA for this functionality.
    2. The CSC module will perform fairly well if used in the environment it was designed for. I would recommend taking a look at the CSC sizing guide to see if the CSC-SSM-10 would be something that is scalable enough for your network:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/vpndevc/ps6032/ps6094/ps6120/prod_white_paper0900aecd805c3cd6.html
    I cannot speak to the performance/functionality of IronPort as I have not used it personally, but I have heard good things. Also, external appliances from Websense seem to be a popular choice when you need a product that is a bit more scalable or granular than what the CSC module can provide.
    Hope that helps.

  • How do I create Outgoing Mail Policie,Outgoing content filters and individual content filters?

    IronPort C160.
    async OS 6.5.3
    Server 1 and server 2 are communicating through ironport.( and also scanning)
    Server 1 we have setup domain abc.lk and yy.abc.lk in same server, this reside on DMZ. same segment ironport is connected,
    Server 2: we have setup separate server int.abc.lk which is resided on internal lan.
    Server 1 and server 2 should have to communicate internally, but server2 should not communicate to outside the world (eg. [email protected])
    How do I create "Outgoing Mail Policies, Outgoing content filters and the individual content filters?
    Note: Now server 1 and server2 are communicating internal and also communicating external ([email protected]), I need server 2 not to communicate external ([email protected]) it should be block and also do not block server 2 communicating to server1
    I have attached diagram also.
    Thanks.

    Hello Sumathi,
    (Thanks for adding a diagram, that helps understanding your situation)
    I think the simplest solution is to create a filter that allows server 2 (based on it's IP) to communicate with the internal domains, and drop the messages when they are targeted to any other domain
    so:
    filter source IP = servers
    condition: message to: is NOT abc.lk or yy.abc.lk
    action: drop message
    hope this helps!

  • Apple Configurator Web Content Filtering Question

    I manage a few K12 classroom sets of iPods via Apple Configurator and I have a younger classroom that wants to limit web access to a few sites and I have been trying to adjust the profile in Apple Configurator to make this happen but it doesn't work.
    I open the profile and go to the Web Content Filter option and add a payload to only allow specific websites and enter the URLs and apply the updated profile to the supervised device but I can still get anywhere I want in Safari. I have tried this process for an hour now to no avail and can't seem to find anything online.
    The only thing I can think of is that this option to limit to specific sites is only available to iOS 7(?). We own quite a few of the 4th generation iPod Touches that are obviously denied this upgrade and so am looking for any help or validation that this option in Apple Configurator is available only to iOS 7 supervised devices???
    Thanks.

    Here is my answer as per an email from Chris C. a Systems Engineer for Apple Education:
    That was a new feature added with Apple Configurator 1.4 and works with iOS 7 supervised devices. I will research this a bit more to see if there is a way around this to work with iOS 6 devices and will follow up with you shortly.
    I understand that you cannot always support "older" operating systems but am truly frustrated with Apple's lack of support on iOS 6 devices when this is what so many K12 schools will have...

  • Web content filtering software??

    Can anybody suggest a good web filtering programme compatible with Safari?
    When my brother in Law wants to use my internet for 'homework' i want to avoid him being able to look up anything to do with Sex, Drugs or Playstation (his grades are getting worse and so is his PS2 addiction.)
    Anybody help??

    Hello,
    I think WebSense is pretty good, they seems closely integrated with Cisco:

  • Apache Server Sizing and Web Dispatcher filtering

    Hi,
    We are planning to expose our intranet portal for internet user. An internet user would access it via browser (https) -> Apache - reverse proxy (outer DMZ) -> Web Dispatcher - Load Balancing (Inner DMZ) -> Portal.
    We are looking for end-to-end SSL implementation.
    My questions:
    1] Do we need to have load balancing at apache server for performing reverse proxy? If yes, how it would be achieved?
    2] What is the hardware sizing required for Apache server on Linux box?
    3] Does the portal performance is affected by end-to-end SSL implementation?
    4] In load balancing using Web Dispatcher, can we forward particular request to a specific application server? Like, filter out the internet requests or forward BI related requests to a specific application server node.
    Regards,
    Sham

    Hi,
    1) Depends on your requirement. When you have 1 Apache RP and 1 SAP Web Dispatcher, you won't need load balancing of at the Apache.
    2) Depends on the number of concurrent requests you are expecting. More information on that can be found at apache.org
    3) Portal performance gets affected when using SSL and the portal is responsible for the SSL (there are product out there that do the SSL handling). How much the SSL will affect your portal depends on the number of users. But generally the impact of SSL isn't really high with recent hardware, the portal will be more occupied with the number of users, navigation, etc than with SSL
    4) You can use logon groups to assign a specific user (group) to a dedicated server

  • Asa 5515x and cisco 2960s

    hi all,
    can a cisco 2960s connect to asa with multiple vlans and still route to DMZ and internet?
    thanks for any comment you may add.

    Hi,
    I have pretty much lost the track on the Cisco Switch and Router products but to my understanding all the 2900 series Switches are usually just L2 devices which dont usually handle routing. But as I said I dont know if there has been some changes regarding their abilities. To my understanding its always been the 3000 Series switches that handle L3 operation also.
    I am also not sure if I understood your question correctly.
    You can naturally trunk your 2960 Vlans to the ASA and let it handle the routing.
    But as I said I dont quite know if I understood what you are after. Maybe you would want to expand on your question a bit more?

  • ASA CX content filtering, looking for suggestions

    I wanted to get some feedback on how the rest of you security folks are doing web content filtering.
    The CX does a great job with HTTP but when it comes to HTTPS it leaves a lot to be desire. When the CX first went live, it was configured to decrypt all HTTPS traffic and Deny transactions to servers "Using an untrusted certificate" and "If the secure session handshake fails" turned on.
    Immediately I started to implement the "Do not decrypt" policy and it worked great for most websites experiencing HTTPS decryption issues. Other websites required that HTTPS certificate be imported to the CX for it to work.
    However, due to the constant "error:140920E3:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_HELLO:parse tlsext" I experimented with different work a rounds till I found these articles.
    http://www.exploresecurity.com/the-small-print-for-openssl-legacy_renegotiation/
    https://www.digicert.com/news/2011-06-03-ssl-renego.htm
    TAC's suggestion was to create a deny statement (using an object group that defines the FQDN) at the top of the ACL that send the traffic from the ASA to the CX. This was the only way to keep the CX deny "Using an untrusted certificate" and "If the secure session handshake fails" decryption settings turned on.
    Now I feel I am back at square one as the number of exceptions have grown exponentially. This has led me to believe that I need to revisit the way that content filtering is being implemented. My goal is to apply a simple yet scalable solution. As I see it, I can continue to add to the "ASA to CX" exemption list, this is not a scalable solution as it requires all FQDN to be defined (ex. bank.com, server1.bank.com, server2.bank.com, etc). The alternative is to relax the CX decryption configurations which I feel is the equivalent of removing a car's airbags for weight reduction to make it faster.
    Any input would be appreciated!

    I've come to the conclusion that SSL decryption is only possible where a robust PKI has been deployed in an enterprise. Even then we would ideally use a dedicated SSL decryption appliance so we can hand the CX (or ASA with FirePOWER service module) plain old http for inspection.
    The software modules just don't have the processing power to be able to do line rate decryption for any but the most modest throughput rates.
    Also, the CX is being deprecated going forward in favor of the FirePOWER modules so you won't see any significant new feature addressing this shortcoming on the CX.

  • URL / Web content filter

    hello all!  We are currently looking to replace our PIX 515e's with something newer.  The hang up is we want to look at something else besides Websense for our URL / Web Content filtering specifically because of price on renewal's.  We do not currently have IDS / IPS in place unless you count the Websense as doing that (maybe just a little bit?) and it would be nice to add that capability.  I've had experience with the Palo Alto box as a UTM in the past however we want to stick with Cisco where I'm at presently.  So what we're looking at is the new ASA 5515-X or 5525-X (HA pair) with IPS plus something else for the web filtering side (besides Websense).  We're getting quotes on the IronPort S160 however my guess is it's going to be just as pricy as Websense, probably the same for Scan Safe.  Right now we're at about 300 users but are looking to double that in the next year.  What are some other good solutions out there?  Easey to manage would be nice, less expensive would be nice, effective would be nice.  Can we get that all together?

    Don't know about traffic from multiple networks.  Offhand, I can't think of why this would be a problem for squid itself, other than it may complicate the config a little bit -- but it may not.  I did a quick Google and didn't see anything that indicated it may be a problem, but I probably didn't click as many links as you did
    Squid is just one option.  The disadvantage of squid compared to a paid-for service, in my opinion, is that you either have to get lists from somewhere or manually create your own block and allow lists.  Because of that, I use a combination of OpenDNS to block the obvious like porn, and then I use squid for more granular control like managament can view job searching sites, but other users cannot.
    With squid, you have so many options though.  For example, you could setup a scheduled task to download current lists from your source of choice and apply them to squid ACLs.
    I am a much smaller shop though, so this works for me.  300-600 users changes things up a little depending on what you want to accomplish.

  • Does the ASA5525-K9 support Content filtering?

    Hi,
    I know the 5510 & 5520s support the CSC-SSM module for Content Filtering (Anti-Phishing, Anti Spam, URL filtering,
    Anti-Spyware & Antivirus), but what about content filtering for the ASA5525-K9.
    The problem that I have is that I need a firewall that supports up to 1 Gbps Maximum Firewall Throughput and to support 250 users with Content Filtering described above.
    I'm using the following doc for sizing and came across the ASA5525-K9 for 1 Gbps, but not sure about the Content filtering:
