Q

Characteristics of Legacy IPS

A
  • They are deployed behind a firewall when providing IPS Functionality (Inline). Often an IPS is also placed in the network without a firewall in front of it.
  • They often look for attempts to exploit a vulnerability and not for the existence of a vulnerability
  • Generates large amounts of event
  • focus on individual indicators/events without focusing on contextual info to take action.
  • legacy IPS require manual tuning for better efficacy

Q

Legacy IPS shortcomings

A
  • they often need to be operated in conjuciton with other products or tools (firewall, analytics and correlation tools)
  • sometimes not very effective and may be ignored
  • operations cost and operating resource is high
  • can leave infrastructures imperfectly covered against attackers.

Cisco FTD Deployment modes

A
  • routed mode

- transparent mode

24
Q

  • passive
  • passive (ERSPAN)
  • inline pair
  • inline pair with TAP
25
Q

As in legacy, Cisco NGFW and Cisco NGIPS can operate in two main modes

A

Inline and passive (monitoring) mode

26
Q

Inline modes offer two modes

A

Routed and switched mode

27
Q

Interface mode where you have two physical interfaces internally bridged

A

Inline pair with TAP

28
Q

Interface mode where Cisco NGFW and NGIPS device does not usually prevents attacks. The devices uses one interface to silently inspect traffic and identify malicious activity without interrupting traffic flow

A

Passive mode

29
Q

Interface mode that you can configure one physical interface operating as sniffer

A

Passive with ERSPAN Mode

30
Q

Additonal Cisco FTD deployment design considerations

A
  • Management
  • Standalone or resilient
  • Link speeds/types
  • routed or transparent mode
  • number of interfaces
  • traffic profile
  • application control
  • URL filtering
  • deep inspection
  • file and malware protection
31
Q

  • configuration replication and synchornization
32
Q

Requirements for Cisco ASA failover configuration

A

  • same software versions
  • same domain or group on the cisco FMC
  • same NTP
  • DHCP or PPPoE must not be configured on any devices
33
Q

Lets you group multiple Cisco FTD units together as a single logical devices

A

34
Q

Is a collection of security rules or policies that allow or denies packetts after looking at the packet headers and other attributes

35
Q

Each permit or deny statement is referred to as?

A

Access control entry (ACE)

36
Q

ACL includes a five-tuple

A
  • source ip address
  • source port
  • destination ip address
  • destination port
  • protocol
37
Q

Cisco ASA supports 4 types of ACL

A
  • standard ACL
  • extended ACL
  • EtherTypes ACL
  • WebTypes ACL
38
Q

Provided by Cisco ASA to provide application security or perform QoS functions. It offers a consitent and flexible way to configure the Cisco ASA application inspection and other features in a manner similar to the used for the Cisco IOS software modular QOS CLI

A

Modular Policy Framework

39
Q

three main commands of Modular policy framework

A
  • class-map (classifies the traffic to be inspected)
  • policy-map (configures security or QoS policies)
  • service policy (active policy globally)
40
Q

Also known as a management access rules, applies to traffic that terminates on the Cisco ASA.

A

to-the-box traffic filtering

41
Q

Cisco ASA supports the following four methods of translation

A

Static NAT/PAT
Dynamic NAT/PAT
Policy NAT/PAT
Identity NAT

42
Q

Is helpful when you want to translate the source address of an object regardless of the destination address. In this mode you define an object and address translation policy within the object definition

43
Q

Talos provided base policy

A
  • Connectivity over security
  • balanced security and connectivity
  • security over connectivity
  • no rules active
  • maximum detection
44
Q
  • Talos provided base policy
  • This policy is built for organizations where connectivity take precendece over network infrastructure security. Enable far fewer rules than those enabled in security over conectivity policy
A

-Connectivity over security

45
Q
  • Talos provided base policy

- This policy is designed to balance overall network performance with network infrastructure and security.

A

-Balanced security and connectivity

46
Q
  • -Talos provided base policy

- This policy is built for organizations where network infrastructure security takes precedence over user convenience.

A

-Security over connectivity

47
Q
  • -Talos provided base policy

- No rules active at this point

A

-No rules active

48
Q
  • -Talos provided base policy
  • This policy is built for organizations where network infrastructure security is give even more emphasis that is given by the security over connectivity policy, with potential for even greater operation impact
A

-Maximum Detection

49
Q

Two types of variables

A

-System default variables (preconfigured in the system, these include $AIM_SERVERS, $DNS_SERVERS, $EXTERNAL_NET, $FILE_DATA_PORTS, $GTP_PORTS, $HOME_NET, $HTTP_PORTS
-Policy variables (override default variables)
ex. [192.168.1.1, 10.1.1.1, 172.16.1.1] or [192.168.1.1, 10.1.1.1, 172.16.1.0/24]
ports range [25-121]
ports less than a number [-1024]
ports more than a number [1024-]
exclude ports [!25]
list ports [21, !25, 80-]

50
Q

Cisco Firepower can take advantage of this policies. These policies are shared set of parameters that define the aspects of a Cisco Firepower device that are likely to be similar to other managed devices.

  • File Sandboxing
  • File retrospection
54
Q

Example of threat inteligence sources

A

  • Threat Grid
55
Q

AMP clouds prevention framework is made up of seven core componets

A
  • Signatures
  • Ethos (fuzzy fingerprinting that uses static or passive heuristics)
  • Spero ( a machine learning technology that proactively identifies threats that were previously unknown
  • IOC (indicator of compromise)
  • Device flow correlation
  • Advance analytics
  • Dynamic analysis
56
Q

This means taking a look at what has already transpired, it involves tracking system behavior regardless of disposition, focusing on uncovering malicious acitivty.

A

Retrospection

57
Q

Cisco ASA Point to Point ASA Configuration

A
  1. Enable IKE on the interface

2.Create Connection profile

Specify VPN Peer
Specify local and remote protected networks
Configure IKE authentication and IKE policy
Configure IPSec proposal (transform set)

  1. (Situationally) configure NAT exemption
  2. (Situationally) configure VPN traffic with an ACL
  3. (Situationally) configure static routing
