  • 32Principles and Practices to Successfully Transition To
    32 PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES TO SUCCESSFULLY TRANSITION TO U.S. DOD CLOUD COMPUTING DATA CENTERS Tra·di·tion·al • Da·ta • Cen·ters (trə-dĭsh′ə-nəl • dā′tə • sĕn′tərz′). Centralized capital-intensive information technology (IT) assets, which include land, security fences, buildings, power-space-and-cooling, networks, computers, storage devices, operating systems, middleware, databases, development tools, and monitoring systems. Oftentimes, traditional IT applications were assembled one computer, server, rack elevation, or server farm at a time. That is, a computer system with a microprocessor, memory, motherboard, disk drives, network interfaces, operation systems, and input-output devices such as display screens, printers, and portable or removable tape, disk, or solid-state media. Traditional physical computer systems ranged in size from small to extremely large or monolithic. For instance, a computer system may be a laptop, desktop computer, Unix workstation, small rack elevation, small server farm with multiple racks, a building with many server farms, or even a monolithic collection of buildings with multiple data centers or high-performance computing equipment for massively parallel processing applications. About 80% to 90% of IT data centers are in the small to medium-sized range that sit underneath desks, or in conference room corners, hallway closets, or small conference rooms. Typically, small to medium-sized IT data centers were engineered to host a single information system or small ecosystem of highly interrelated applications. Rack elevations allowed engineers to assemble their computer systems one high-performance component at a time for high-performance computing needs, multitasking and multi-user systems, reliability and fault-tolerance, or fast network delivery.

    A High Assurance Firewall in a Cloud Environment Using Hardware and Software Item Type text; Proceedings Authors Golriz, Arya; Jaber, Nur Publisher International Foundation for Telemetering Journal International Telemetering Conference Proceedings Rights Copyright © held by the author; distribution rights International Foundation for Telemetering Download date 27/09/2021 04:32:59 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/10150/596381 A HIGH ASSURANCE FIREWALL IN A CLOUD ENVIRONMENT USING HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE Dr. Arya Golriz, Nur Jaber Faculty Advisors: Dr. Richard Dean, Dr. Yacob Astatke and Dr. Farzad Moazzami Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Morgan State University ABSTRACT This paper will focus on analyzing the characteristics of firewalls and implementing them in a virtual environment as both software- and hardware-based solutions that retain the security features of a traditional firewall. INTRODUCTION With the evolution of telemetry into network environments, telemetry experts must consider the impact of cloud computing solutions in future telemetry systems. Cloud computing is becoming increasingly popular and offers a wide variety of advantages over conventional networking, including the ability to centralize resources both physically and financially. While implementing a cloud infrastructure does raise security concerns, a secure cloud infrastructure similar to that of a conventional network can be achieved using tools and tactics deployed to protect the network from adversaries and various malicious attacks. One primary component in any secure network, cloud or otherwise, is a firewall that examines inbound and outbound traffic on the network to ensure that it is authentic and based on a set of rules, as well as enables the network administrator to permit safe content.

  • SWITCH-Security Report 2019 3
    SWITCH-CERT report on the latest IT security and privacy trends May / June 2019 I. Brought to light: Federal Crime Office closes down the world’s second largest illegal dark web marketplace Even bad guys have business models – or at least imitate those of the good guys. Criminals on the dark web use e-commerce, encryption technologies, anonymised browsers and cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, ethereum or monero to run what are basically gigantic trad- ing platforms. Deals worth many millions are made on these platforms, involving drugs, weapons, human trafficking, illegal pornography, malware and other illegal goods and services, such as stolen login credentials, cyberattacks and botnets. For example, the Silk Road marketplace, which was shut down in 2013, turned over more than USD 1.2 billion in just two years and reportedly generated around USD 80 million in commission fees for its American founder and proprietor, Ross Ulbricht. Such lucrative prospects certainly mo- tivated many Germans to do the same. The operators of Hansa Market, which was discov- ered in 2017, are now in custody, for example. They also generated billions in turnover and made millions on commission fees. No sooner were they behind bars than the next dark web market, known as ‘Wall Street Market’, emerged – once again, in Germany. This platform also quickly became a sales powerhouse with impressive business figures: 1.1 million registered users and SWITCH Security | P.O.

  • Switchcert Report on the Latest IT Security and Privacy Trends January/February 2018
    SWITCHcert report on the latest IT security and privacy trends January/February 2018 I. Meltdown and Spectre: security meltdown directly from the processor The bomb exploded right at the start of the new year. And it had absolutely nothing to do with the loud but harmless New Year Eve’s fireworks. Instead, reports of massive security flaws in INTEL, AMD and ARM processors revealed an IT security catastrophe. As early as June 2017, Jann Horn of Google Project Zero had notified the three leading processor manufacturers about severe security flaws in their products. After a long ‘grace’ period, INTEL finally informed the public of the security flaws at the beginning of 2018. Fact: millions and millions of computers, smartphones and mobile devices in which the chips are installed are so helplessly exposed to attacks from the likes of Spectre and Meltdown that the CERT team at Carnegie Mellon University could initially only recommend installing the latest operating systems as a patch or replacing the processors. Meanwhile, some patches are available, but the security problem is still so severe that we would like to provide a five-point overview here: 1) Why do Meltdown & Spectre pose such a great security risk? Computers and mobile devices have security mechanisms designed to prevent all types of programs from retrieving whatever data they want from a device's memory. Spectre and Meltdown use two different attack methods to deactivate these security mechanisms. If the security mechanisms have been hacked, programs also load and save SWITCH Security, PO Box, 8021 Zurich +41 44 268 15 40 [email protected] securityblog.switch.ch security.switch.ch 1 © SWITCH 2018 data they do not even need but which is read by malware programmed accordingly and can be ‘hijacked’.
