• Expected During 2009; Demonstrated in Jan. 09

Increased mobility, dissolution of the network perimeter, regulatory compliance, protection from an ever-growing list of malware, and the mainstreaming of Web-based technologies…. These are only some of the many reasons that security remains a top priority for businesses of any size. But despite the number of security measures deployed, networks continue to be compromised. There are many vectors of attack, including those who knowingly or unknowingly bring threats into the company’s network. In the end, existing security measures are not enough: effective network security requires a solid architecture and a sound security strategy that mitigates risk and returns control to an organization. Microsoft’s Network Access protection, or NAP, enforces health requirements by monitoring and assessing the health of client computers when they attempt to connect or communicate on a network. NAP helps organizations with health policy validation, health policy remediation, and post-connect compliance.To take advantage of NAP, administrators define system health requirements in the form of policies on Microsoft’s Network Policy Server, the Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service, or RADIUS, component of Windows Server 2008. NPS is the replacement for the Internet Authentication Service, or IAS, component of Windows Server 2003.

Microsoft Network Policy Server (NPS)Microsoft Network Policy Server (NPS)

NPS servers provide health policy checks and coordinate with Active Directory any time a computer attempts to obtain a health certificate or to connect to an 802.1X access point, a VPN server, or a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, or DHCP, server. Client computers that are not in compliance with the health policy can be granted restricted network access until their configuration is updated and brought into compliance with policy. Depending on how NAP is deployed, noncompliant clients can be quarantined or they can be automatically updated so that users can quickly regain full network access without manually updating or reconfiguring their computers.Along with NPS, NAP comprises additional client and server components such as NAP Agent client software and remediation and policy servers.

The HP ProCurve/Microsoft SolutionThe HP ProCurve/Microsoft Solution

• Microsoft = server and client security; ProCurve = network security

• ProCurve complements the NAP architecture with effective port security using 802.1X

• A secure, adaptive, comprehensive joint NAC solution

• Enables IT to focus on the business instead of the network

Microsoft focuses on server and client security; HP ProCurve focuses on network security. ProCurve switches and wireless access points complement Microsoft’s NAP architecture with effective port security technology. ProCurve also provides a unified wired and wireless solution to access the network that eliminates the need for two separate management systems.Combining Microsoft NAP with a ProCurve network and ProCurve Identity Driven Manager, or IDM, results in a more dynamic and adaptive infrastructure that marries control at the edge of the network and client integrity. The integration of NAP for endpoint policy management and IDM for policy-based network provisioning provides administrators with a secure, adaptive, and comprehensive network access control solution that can address medium to large enterprise solutions with multiple NPS/RADIUS server environments. ProCurve IDM interacts with the NPS RADIUS server in Windows Server 2008, at the core of Microsoft NAP. Thus, IDM can use the result of the NAP statement of health in the IDM policy definitions to apply appropriate IDM policy-based network access rights as users and devices connect to the network. Together, Microsoft NAP and ProCurve IDM are able to authenticate network users, enforce endpoint policies, and provide policy-based network provisioning for authenticated users and devices. They provide a transparent and secure network service whose operation doesn’t appear on the daily workflow list.Microsoft and ProCurve are longtime collaborators. Shared projects includes defining the IEEE 802.1X open standard—upon which NAP and IDM are built—and involvement within the Trusted Computing Group, developing and promoting open, industry-standard specifications.In addition to IDM, ProCurve's network access control solution is comprised of ProCurve’s switches and access points, the ProCurve Network Access Controller 800, the NAC Endpoint Integrity Agent, and any IEEE 802.1x supplicant. It is part of the broader ProCurve ProActive Defense solution, a comprehensive network security strategy that simultaneously combines proactive, offensive security with responsive, defensive security, within a trusted network infrastructure.The ProCurve/NPS solution is the first of several solutions ProCurve and Microsoft are partnering to provide.

• Integration in Late 2009

Business no longer just happens at headquarters. Companies often have remote offices, and they almost always have mobile workers. And with this new distributed workforce comes a critical dilemma: IT is forced either to support a massive, distributed IT infrastructure or to let employees suffer with poor application performance across the wide area network.With Riverbed’s market-leading wide area data services (or WDS) solutions, companies can have the best of both worlds: a simplified IT infrastructure and high-speed application performance. Riverbed Steelhead appliances deliver a complete WDS solution by addressing network, application, and storage limitations—all the key factors that slow application performance over WANs.

Page 22: ProCurve ONE Alliance - Niche Associates · • McAfee • Microsoft • ... looking to build customer loyalty by moving customer service and resources in to branch locations, closer

Riverbed SteelheadRiverbed Steelhead

ProCurve ONE Alliance22 HP ProCurve Confidential

The global leader in WDS solutions, Riverbed connects organizations’ data centers, branch offices, and remote workers with LAN-like speed. Deployment in the network significantly reduces bandwidth utilization as well as the impact of latency on applications used in branch offices. Unlike point products that improve one part of the wide area performance problem—such as data compression, quality of service, or TCP optimization—WDS is a comprehensive solution to application performance problems. Riverbed Optimization System, or RiOS, software powers Riverbed Steelhead WDS products through a combination of patent-pending data reduction, TCP optimization, and application-level protocol optimizations. Together, these technologies, along with RiOS management capabilities, provide a comprehensive solution for enterprise WDS.The acceleration of Exchange, Windows, FTP, HTTP, Web applications, Lotus Notes, MS SQL, and other key business applications dramatically speeds up collaboration and productivity for startups to global enterprises. And Riverbed Steelhead Mobile software accomplishes the same goals for mobile workers wherever they are. As a result, IT architects have the freedom to consolidate file servers, email servers, network-attached storage, and tape libraries from remote offices to data centers—without degrading performance. Organizations can quickly and securely back up and replicate data across the wide area network from systems that are hundreds or even thousands of miles apart. Business productivity dramatically increases while the IT organization gets a nimbler, more secure, more affordable, and easier-to-manage IT infrastructure.

As wireless technology proliferates in the enterprise, “wired” network security investments are insufficient to protect the enterprise from wireless vulnerabilities. But a lack of trust in wireless security prevents enterprises from fully leveraging wireless technology to improve business productivity. These enterprises face the following challenges when addressing wireless security:

• Visibility into wireless security risks at both headquarters and remote offices• Understanding which wireless connections pose a genuine threat• The inability to proactively block, locate, and remove unauthorized wireless devices• Limited IT resources and expertise to manage wireless security

AirTight networks, the global leader in wireless intrusion prevention systems (or WIPS), enables customers to detect, classify, and act upon all wireless assets in the air, simplifying the discovery, remediation, and removal of wireless threats. AirTight is the only company to offer a purpose-built WIPS, SpectraGuard Enterprise, with state-of-the-art and backward-compatible 802.11n sensors. Customers can protect both their 802.11n and legacy 802.11abg infrastructure.

The AirTight system forms a shield around the wireless airspace.

It stops hackers from penetrating the wireless network.

It stops authorized clients from connecting to unsecure APs from neighboring networks.

As threats to the wireless network emerge, SpectraGuard instantaneously notifies the network administrator. The AirTight system can also be configured to provide on-demand or regularly scheduled reports that detail the threats seen in the wireless airspace and also provide an inventory of all access points and devices.In addition, AirTight can shut down threats as they occur. The AirTight system forms a shield around the wireless airspace, stopping hackers from penetrating the secure wireless network. In like manner, AirTight can stop corporate authorized wireless clients from inadvertently connecting to unsecureexternal access points from neighboring networks. Administrators can quickly and accurately identify the location of threats on a floor map for isolation and removal. And SpectraGuard’s classification policies are robust, enabling it to accurately differentiate between a rogue AP and a neighbor or external AP, and resulting in far fewer false alarms that require manual intervention, and thus a lower TCO. SpectraGuard Enterprise delivers comprehensive protection against a wide variety of existing and emerging wireless security threats such as Denial of Service attacks, Wireless Encryption Privacy (or WEP) cracking attacks, misconfigured APs, and rogue APs, including 802.11n AP attacks. Even if your customer has not deployed 802.11n, an 802.11n rogue or network threat can still occur; companies need visibility into that threat scenario. AirTight’s classification engine automatically scans, classifies, and blocks all wireless security threats without manual intervention.

A virus propagates across the network

With InMon running on the network, performance issues become clear:

Misuse of network resources

No bandwidth for critical applications

You cannot effectively, efficiently manage what you cannot see. Is traffic productive or inappropriate? Are security threats spreading? Is the network under attack? How efficiently is the network meeting business requirements? And who is using the network the most? Traffic Sentinel helps you answer these questions.Specific challenges overcome with Traffic Sentinel include:

• Understanding if network resources are being misused• Detecting propagating worms or viruses• Ensuring real-time networking performance for a critical application• Meeting legal requirements—identifying who was connected where and when, what they were

doing, and if any inappropriate behavior occurred• Billing customers based on their usage of the networkAnd• Planning for future growth, by understanding current usage of the network, and trends over time

As the inventors of sFlow, InMon is best positioned to take full advantage of the technology. They fully understand the subtleties of generating accurate data and sophisticated analysis from traffic sampling across the network, and their products are designed from the ground up to use sFlow. InMon Traffic Sentinel includes features such as automatic topology discovery, quality of service monitoring, and rogue router discovery that uniquely leverage this technology. Traffic Sentinel also has a very broad spectrum of supported technologies for gathering data on network usage, enabling almost every device in the network to be monitored. The richness of data from each source is fully exploited, in contrast to other products where the lowest common denominator of all protocols is used. Traffic Sentinel also retains detail of the network traffic monitored, over a substantial period of time. Many competing products consolidate data, removing detail, before storing for future use. InMon Traffic Sentinel is sold as a software application, which is run on a RedHat Linux server or on a ProCurve ONE Services zl Module.

Firewalls are the first line of defense even in the modern network. They are a key security component that cannot be replaced by client-based personal firewalls, Unified Threat Management solutions, or stateless access control lists on routers. More than just a border security solution between the Internet and the internal network, the modern firewall is an intelligent edge security solution between a number of subnets, VLANs, and logical security layers.Unfortunately, the firewall market is controlled by vendors that provide high-priced, proprietary solutions that do not fit into the open network environments businesses are clamoring for today. In contrast, the .vantronix | Firewall ZL1 is powered by OpenBSD, a UNIX-like operating system with a focus on portability, standardization, correctness, proactive security, and integrated cryptography—which is also widely regarded as the world’s most secure operating system. And the ZL1 is a sophisticated border security solution, integrating a firewall, load balancer, VPN, IPv6 gateway, and anti-spam services.

Sophisticated border security:

The .vantronix | Firewall ZL1 inspects inbound and outbound traffic; controls access to internal, external, and restricted networks; prevents intrusion; protects against Denial-of-Service attacks; and provides queuing for quality of service. High availability is achieved using additional ZL1 devices deployed in a cluster configuration—without any additional licensing costs.As a load balancer, the ZL1 can extend the scalability of IT applications by virtualizing server pools behind single addresses to transparently cluster a database, e-commerce, mail, or service application. The integrated VPN functionality allows companies to securely extend the network to remote branches, interconnect with third-party organizations, and provide remote access for IT administrators. The VPN interacts with the firewall engine, enabling IT to enforce security policies on VPN connections. VPN functionality is based on proven, open standards and implementations, like the common and interoperable IPsec protocol and SSH-VPN.Unlike many other firewall solutions, the .vantronix ZL1 provides full support for IPv6. The unique IPv6 gateway will solve the number-one migration issue: interconnecting IPv4 and IPv6 networks.Finally, .vantronix provides a network-based anti-spam solution. The .vantronix solution rejects spammers before they're able to send any mail to the protected mail infrastructure, and without inspecting the mail contents. .vantronix offers greater efficiency at a lower cost.
