A physical security company has an innovative, patented product and critical secrets to protect. For this company, protecting physical security and safeguarding network security go hand in hand. A web application in the data center tracks the serialized keycodes and allows customers to manage their key sets. the customers include everyone from theft-conscious retail chains to security-sensitive government agencies. In this case project, how would the security company go about establishing solid network security to protect them against intrusions?
we will see this step by step.
First what is intrusion?
INTRUSION:An attempt to gain entry or access directed against a system or unauthorised parties
(OR) An attempt to disrupt the normal operations of a system or a network.
So we will see how the company will establish solid network security to protect them against intrusions.
PREVENTION IS IDEAL ,BUT DETECTION IS MUST
INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM:
It is best to stop an attacker while still they are at beachhead - before they spread further.
So we have ways to prevent our system/Network from intruders.
The Network Design for small organisation look like:
The Network Design for Largeorganisation look like:
IPS (Intrusion Prevention Sytsem):
Take automated actions to combat an attack :
--> configure firewall to block IP Address of an intruder
-->Launch a seperate program to handle the event
-->Save the packets in a file for further analysis
-->Terminate the TCP session by forging a TCP FIN packet to force a connection to terminate
An IPS is typically placed inline,So that it can actively respond to the connection
Signature based detection:
Anamoly Based detection:
SNORT:
So to establish the solid network security we can use IPS
Snort is a very popular IDS(can also be used as IPS)
Snort is an open source network intrusion prevention system, capable of performing real-time traffic analysis and packet logging on IP networks.
It can perform protocol analysis, content searching/matching, and can be used to detect a variety of attacks and probes, such as buffer overflows, stealth port scans, CGI attacks, SMB probes, OS fingerprinting attempts, and much more.
Snort has three primary uses: It can be used as a
So , Snort is one of the industry's top network intrusion-detection tools, but there are plenty of free alternatives
Snort has influenced other IDS/IPS vendors in a huge way, either by the way they develop their software or by directly using Snort modules in their offering.
So to establish solid network security we can use the above mentioned tools to protect them against intrusions.

Risk management in Information Security today Everyday information security professionals are bombarded with marketing messages around risk and threat management, fostering an environment in which objectives seem clear: manage risk, manage threat, stop attacks, identify attackers. These objectives aren't wrong, but they are fundamentally misleading.In this session we'll examine the state of the information security industry in order to understand how the current climate fails to address the true needs of the business.

The world’s 3 billion-plus smartphones emit the kind of data that health authorities covet during outbreaks. They show where individuals are, where they’ve been and who they might have talked to or even touched — potentially offering maps to find infected people and clues to stopping new ones. But gaining access to this data, even amid a global pandemic, is made complex by the legal and ethical issues surrounding government access to information that can reveal intimate details about citizens’...
