Security Solutions for different environment / market segment?

Hi all
From what I know, network / server equipments are separated into different kinds of range such as Small Business, Medium Business, Large Enterprise and Telco (ISP) Level / Range.
Some companies have different range of antimalware solutions - such as Standard, NAS, SAN, Exchange and more.
Is there any certain strict need / requirement special clients (such as Military, Government or Telco) asked for? How does those special clients need / requirement compare to Small, Medium or Large Enterprise?
Cheers
Peter

Hello,
Yes, goretsky is correct -- larger companies/organizations need to have a good centralized management to monitor all of their machines on a single console/window. Another thing that they consider is a good and detailed report/s from their security solutions. Computer administrators from these large companies/organizations regularly create and submit reports to their superiors, so having a product that generates a good report is a plus for them.
Large companies/organizations also have a different setup since they have equipments that home users usually don't have like File Servers, Exchange Servers, Gateway/Proxy, etc. Having said this, they need additional protection for those types of machines/equipments.
On "special clients", I think their setup is very similar to large companies/organizations. They are just more cautious in terms of security that's why some of them (if budget permits) put on another level of protection which detects and/or prevents zero-day vulnerability attacks.
They will also have a different security software/application for their other "special" devices (machines that don't run on Windows, Virtual Environment, etc.).

How to automate the build of CompositeApplication for different environment

Hi,
I have a scenerio where i have to automate the build process of composite application.
For Example :
I have a Composite application currently configured for my DEV Environment. I have two more environments UAT, and IST on which the same Composite Application should be deployed. The environment details such as 1) Host Name , 2) Port Number , for UAT and IST are different.
I need to create an automation script which takes in the different environment details and builds the CompositeApplication Project.
Please help, if you have any solution or Please provide pointers.
Thanks

Hi yuvarag,
I take it that you're working in a 5.1.3 environment. I was in a similar situation, and although I wasn't able to automate the process as I would have liked, I was able to make some modifications to the build process that made it acceptable.
For one thing, our QA dept would not allow us to build separate ear files, using different environments, for QA and production. They were willing to sign off on the QA file that they had tested, but as far as they were concerned (and I fully agreed) they had not tested a new aer file build for the production environment. I was able to convince them (and myself) that using the iConfigure tool to modify the settings of the ear file was a safe way to create the production file from the QA file. This also removed any possibility of including new code into a build with the production environment.
Although it didn't get automated, I did set up a "build" user on the box that housed our repository. All builds for deployment to QA were performed by logging in as the build user to perform the build. I also made a few modifications to the build scripts that come with the commandlinecodegen tool to simplify the process. I could probably have automated the build by adding a cron entry to kick off the build script. Automating the iConfigure step would be much more difficult. But if you are free to build fresh ears for production, then you should be able to automate the process with cron, and a few tweaks to the commandlindgodegen tool.

Looking for a nice solution for different cases with nearly same operations

Hi everybody:
I'm looking for a nice solution for the following problem:
I'm measuring different data at the same time (with different devices).
I would like to save these data all in one array (or cluster?), but I
don't know exactly the way to do this. All values have corresponding
time values. So for one data type it would result in a 2d array,
wouldn't it? But how can I save different data types with their time
values in one array? Or should I take a cluster? And how can I get only
a certain type of data out of this array or cluster again? E.g. if I
only need data type "3" with its time stamps for evaluation? I would
really appreciate an example, I work with LV 7. Thanks!
Then - for evaluation - I only need one data type of these different
data. Which one I would like to choose via the frontpanel (it changes
from test to test). So, I thought of a case structure (where I can
choose which data type and correspondingly which evaluation way). The
evaluation steps for the different data types are quite the same, but
can vary in order of execution. I could write for every case the
(nearly) same evaluation steps, but this would take a lot of time, plus
if I need to change one step I need to change it in every case.
Does anybody know a better way?
Thank you very much in advance,
Steffi

There is "array subset", which allows you to get any desired subset from an array. If yoyu want entire rows or colums, use "index array".
To display the last 30 values in a chart, just feed the data to a chart with the history size set to 30 elements. The rest will fall into place.

Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Gateway. Most Simple and Secure Design For Small Environment?

We would like users to be able to connect remotely over the Internet from their personal devices to their primary Windows 7 workstation (a physical box on their desk) by using the Microsoft RDP Client For Windows, Mac, iOS and Android. There is no
plan to use RDWeb or Remote Apps, or VDI. Just plain remote access to their desktop PC without VPN plus a third party 2nd factor authentication product that can text them back a code to enter with their AD credentials (AuthAnvil or Duosecurity)
We do not have TMG or ISA.
We would like to get these services all running in a single server and be as simple as possible while still being very secure.
The recommendations I see seem to suggest putting the RDG in a DMZ with either a domain controller on a new domain with a one-way trust to your internal domain or else a read-only domain controller on your domain and then RD Session Host and License server
located on different servers on your internal LAN.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2009/07/31/rd-gateway-deployment-in-a-perimeter-network-firewall-rules.aspx
That sounds like a lot of separate servers and cost for not a lot of users in our environment.
Do we even need a separate session host server if there are no RDP sessions being hosted directly on the servers because the users are only being redirected to connect to their workstations and will never be using terminal sessions on the server?
Can the RODC or the Domain controller on new domain with the one-way trust be the same server as the Remote Desktop Gateway server and not separate servers?
What is the most minimalist way to set this up with good security when opening all the ports needed to authenticate with internal DC is not secure enough?

#2 sounds like we would need 2 Essentials servers and we will not have that.
We currently have Server 2008 R2 and have 2012 Standard licenses that are not yet used.
We have much more than 75 users total, but 75 is more than the number of users that will probably take advantage of using RD Gateway any time soon. It will probably take time to catch on.
If RD Gateway usage was to get super popular and more than 75 users were depending on access to it, then we could financially justify paying to buy all the CALs needed to run RD Gateway without Essentials. Right now, they are skeptical that it will
be worth spending much money on this and don't want to invest a lot of money up front.
My understanding is that if we have 75 or fewer users using RD Gateway then we need to by no CALs, just apply a Server Standard Edition License to the server, but if we had 76, we would need to turn off Essentials and buy 76 new CALs.
Or would we need to add 50 CALs to the 25 that automatically come with Essentials?
Also does "turning off" Essentials mean we would have to reinstall and redeploy the RDG or is it just a matter of enabling the RD license server and adding purchased CALs?
No, when you buy essentials you get the right to create 25 users that access the server, when you create the 26th user you will need to have 26 CAL and RDS CAL.

DR solution for different OS

Hi,
I need help to design a solution. The details are as follows
The Customer has two primary servers - IBM and SUN at one site and another Sun Server at other site. They would like to use this SUN server as DR server for two primary servers.
The Application / database availibility is the key as this is an authentication application.
I undertand Oracle Hot stand-by can not be used as it requires same OS. Also hot stand in 8i can not guarentee data loss.
Oracle 9i Data Guard is not possible as they are on 8i and can not shift to 9i
They are considering to buy NetApps storage and then do storage to
storage block transfer. In this case also SUN to SUN is possible but cannot be implemented on IBM to SUN.
any comment ?
Shrikant

Hi,
standby on different platform could only
be a variation of logical-stanby:
- logcal standby database (not sure if standbydb in 8i will do it all for you)
- explicit replication of all tables in the application: you have full control!
if you really need it in ora8i : build replication.

Help in Security Solution for N1Kv Design

Hello,
My customer is migrating its Datacenter Environment, similar to the attached picture.
Today, they have a 6500 Core Switch with FWSM providing Security for Inter Vlan access.
Using N1Kv + N7K with the same Inter Vlan connectivity, what is the best option to provide Security Policies and enjoy the 20GB Uplink ?
One ASA 1000v Instance for each VLAN is a good option ? I will not have performance problems ?
Thank you in advance for help ..
Daniel Stefani

ASA 1000V is a tenant edge firewall. It is recommended to isolate tenants from outer world and from each other. An ASA 1000V always has only two interfaces so multiple instances result in a firewall management question.
Simple Inter-VLAN (and even intra-VLAN) filters can be implemented by VSG if protocol inspection (fixup) is not a requirement.

Backup solutions for Mac environment

What are people using to backup their Xserves? I manage four Xserves and one IBM server. We have about 600GB of storage. I've been using an Exabyte 1U 1x10 library with the 320 drive. The software is Retrospect running off one of the Xserves.
I back up five times a week using two tapes per session but I'm omitting about 250GB of data. I'd prefer something that would also work with the IBM server.
I am NOT a trained IT person.
Thanks.

And if you really must:
http://www.retrospect.com/
Although I would steer you clear of Restrospect unless it's on the Windows platform. I think most of the veteran users of this site would probably agree? Having said that there are some who have no problems with it. Who knows for you it might be the 'ideal' solution? However I have to ask: "If your data is precious to you do you want to risk it?" For me it's too unreliable when it comes to a restore. Something any Backup Strategy should include. Additionally there have problems with it since Roxio took it over - Scripts disappearing and media being lost etc.
I've not tried all of the ones listed and no doubt there may well be others. The ones I have tried I've had no problems with - NetVault and BRU. In some environments and depending on the circumstances I've had no problems with TimeMachine.
+"I'd prefer something that would also work with the IBM server"+
You could look at this another way? Purchase or Install BackupExec or Veritas or any one of the myriad backup software available for the platform and install on your Windows Server. Backup your Mac-based data either as a mapped network drive or by using the applications client utility - assuming there's one available for the software you eventually decide on?

Does any one implemented solution for httpservlet request/response object in IWSDLInterceptor implemented class?

I am trying to handle Producer not available situation in which I am using Interceptor IWSDLInterceptor in WLP 10.3.4. I am able to retrieve exception using onWSDLException but from here if I have to forward my pageURL object I need httpservlet request and response. I tried my own filter class to have its own customize request and also tried it out all other Interceptor to see if any one can handle IOException. I did manage to throw my own Customize exception but that also did not work out as Page does not have any backing file or any supportive Controller class.
Does any one implemented solution for httpservlet request/response object in IWSDLInterceptor implemented class? or do we have any specific documentation in regards to this? As I am not able to find much martial on IWSDLInterceptor except Java API from Oracle and article defining Two way SSL handshake Producer.
Any kind of help is appreciated.
Thanks
PT

Thanks Emmanuel for your response but render behavior is not available for IWSDLRequestContext/IWDSLResponseContext object which IWSDLInterceptor uses for implementation.
Let me put my question in little simpler manner. May be my approach to the problem is not proper.
Problem : Handle Producer Not available (no application exists on server) on consumer side.
So far tried approach : Producer is not running then I am able to handle that TransportException at IInitCookieInterceptor/IHandleEventInterceptor onFault behaviour but in the case of Producer not even exists Consumer try to get WSDL fetch operation and failed with FileNotFoundException.
To handle this exception, I used IWSDLInterceptor which is available under IWSDLInterceptor.OnWSDLException (Oracle Fusion Middleware Java API for Oracle WebLogic Portal)
I am able to catch the exception but problem arise when application needs to forward at specific page/render portlet for this situation. For that it required request/response object but IWSDLInterceptor does not give any kind of instances to redirect request as there is no direct access to HTTPServlet request/response object.
I tried my custom request object to use there. I tried out custom filter object of IWSDLrequestContext. nothing works.
One approach works is to put producer WSDL file at consumer level. But in that, you need to handle different producer files for different environment. Which I don't think its a good approach.
eAny one Let me know if my approach to the problem/scenario is wrong. Or if I am missing out any other supporting interface which also required to handle this scenario. or I am using wrong interface for this scenario.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Security solutions - no remote wipe Freeware

Hi,
I have an E61 and I am amazed by the number of different security solutions for locking the phone, sending thief-finding text messages, remotely turning on a siren and all sorts of fancy gadgets.
I´m equally amazed by the fact that up to now a security suite by Kaspersky seems to be the only one offering a feature called "remote wipe", quite simply allowing you to remotely wipe the internal memory of your phone.
Let´s be honest, when your phone is stolen, your chances of getting it back are very bleak at the best. Text messages telling you the location of your phone or automatic locking upon an unsolicited SIM change won´t help you getting it back and turning on a siren in the thief´s pocket in the middle of the night or locking the phone might annoy him a little, but it won´t help you. Finally, when a thief is determined to get to the stuff you have in your phone, every encryption code that can be applied to a PHONE is only a matter of time.
Wouldn´t it be much more reassuring to know that your data is GONE and thus rendered utterly unreachable to a thief?
I would be happy to know your opinions about this - it´s a subject that really interests me.

Hendikoischnur

Hi,
does nobody have an opinion on this? Or am I really the only one thinking it´s insufficient to know valuable data that has been stolen is encrypted and it will take a little while to crack it?
That security suite that has a remote_wipe feature is quite costly, but never mind. I would rather pay for an algorithm that will, in the case of theft, destroy my data as close to >beyond recovery as possible than pay for encryption that´s only so much of a consolation when the phone is stolen.
I imagine that should even be reasonably easy to program? [not for me, I´m not a programmer] It´s obviously possible to remotely access the file system as that is what´s needed to lock it down, too, so it should be possible to remotely invoke sth. like the >shred command to destroy the data?
I´ve already entered this as a Software wish on the S60 website, but I haven´t got any kind of answer yet.

Rescue and Recovery and Client Security solution question

I got a thinkpad edge e220s for home use and I am trying to figure out whether these two thinkvantage tools will be of any use to me since I am not on a company network or anything (all the marketing material mentions IT admins etc).
Is rescue and recovery just a backup solution with disk imaging (like ghost)? I use a drobo for all my data storage so I am not too concerned about backups as the drobo offers redundancy in case of drive failure. The laptop has an SSD which doesn't have a lot of capacity so I do not want unnecessary tools that will take up a lot of space. However if rescue and recovery offers really helpful features then i might consider installing it (and just not using the backup feature). I could not make out what the marketing material meant by one button solution for viruses and crashes.
Secondly, does client security solution offer features other than password vault/manager on my model? I am already using the beta for the new version (4) of password manager which is standalone and does not require client security solution. Again the marketing material does not help a home user like myself understand it very much.
Any help will be appreciated!

Based on your description I don't think Rescue & Recovery or Client Security Solution have any value for you.

File Encryption with Client Security Solution

Hello,
We've been using ThinkVntage Client Security Solution for file encryption for a while now. I'm setting up some new laptops running Client Security Soliution 8.2 and I can't seem to find the option for data protection/file encryption. I checked a ocuple of users that are using file encryption and they were running Client Security Solution 7.x. Did they remove this feature from 8.x?

Unless the latest edition was released before my previous post then your statement is incorrect. My computer was using the latest edition because I downloaded it form your site only a few days before the post. Since my initial post I have had to replace my laptop and Lenovo, unfortuantely, treats Canadians like **bleep** step children so I had to buy an HP. If you can pass on a message, Lenovo lost the sale of a very high end system a few days ago becuase of a corporate choice to only sell a stripped down selection of computers to Canadians. You have a good 5 years or so now to think on that and come up with a better solution than cripling your Canadian resellers.

Better activation solution for F-Secure Freedome

From the forum posts, internet posts, and user reviews it seems that one thing is very apparent. There is a major need for a better activation solution for F-Secure Freedome. Currently, if your HDD crashes, or you need to re-install Windows, or you upgrade to Windows 10 (coming up in July), or even if an F-Secure Freedome update fails and you need to re-install it, you lose the code and/or license. Currently, it is not possibly to free it up per se'. Evaluation periods make a huge difference on whether or not I decide to purchase a product. A 90 day trial is very helpful so that I know I am making a good purchase, since it incorporates different network protocols especially. If you un-install Freedome, you lose the code. Period. This is counterproductive. You end up losing potential users. For those with a paid license, there is a problem that the license server shows that even though Freedome has been uninstalled or is no longer used, the license is not "freed up" by the server. The server or whatever mechanism currently in place lacks the functionality to recognize these changes. I am actually about to re-install my OS, possibly add hardware and get a new HDD. I am also in the market for a new PC. F-Secure SAFE was a bit of a disappointment for me (no offense), and used a good bit of resources. - I do respect the people, and the company who makes it though. They make significant efforts, especially with the marketing of Freedome. The solution should be productive, but not cumbersome or overzealous (like Microsoft or worse). It is a good way to: 1) Expose customers to your products2) Get them to purchase them3) Retain that customer It costs more to gain a new customer than to retain a current one. I am not complaining, nor do I feel entitled. I am just trying to make a suggestion on how to improve the product, and its workflow. I don't intend to rant or to create a flood of posts. This was meant to be constructive, and to see what I could do/could be done about solving my licensing issue.I am sure that others also have some questions as well. I am satisfied with the initial install experience of Freedome, and the GUI is nice, I will say that .
