Preface
The Appliances use Layer 8 technology to help organizations maintain a state of readiness against today's blended threats and offer real-time protection.
Unified Threat Management Appliances offer identity-based comprehensive security to organizations against blended threats - worms, viruses, malware, data loss, identity theft; threats over applications viz. Instant Messengers; threats over secure protocols viz. HTTPS; and more.
They also offer wireless security (WLAN) and 3G wireless broadband. Analog modem support can be used as either Active or Backup WAN connection for business continuity.
The Appliance integrates features like stateful inspection firewall, VPN, Gateway Anti-Virus and
Anti- Spyware, Gateway Anti-Spam, Intrusion Prevention System, Content & Application Filtering,
Data Leakage Prevention, IM Management and Control, Layer 7 visibility, Web Application
Firewall, Bandwidth Management, Multiple Link Management and Comprehensive Reporting over a single platform.
The Appliance has enhanced security by adding an 8th layer (User Identity) to the protocol stack.
Advanced inspection provides L8 user-identity and L7 application detail in classifying traffic, enabling Administrators to apply access and bandwidth policies far beyond the controls that traditional UTMs support. It thus offers security to organizations across layer 2 - layer 8, without compromising productivity and connectivity.
The Appliance accelerates unified security by enabling single-point control of all its security features through a Web 2.0based GUI. An extensible architecture and an ‘IPv6 Ready’ Gold logo provide Appliance the readiness to deliver on future security requirements.
The Appliances provides increased LAN security by providing separate port for connecting to the publicly accessible servers like Web server, Mail server, FTP server etc. hosted in DMZ which are visible the external world and still have firewall protection.
Layer 8 Security:
The Appliance ’s features are built around its patent pending Layer 8 technology. The Layer 8 technology implements the human layer of networking by allowing organizations control traffic based on users instead of mere IP Addresses. Layer 8 technology keeps organizations a step ahead of conventional security solutions by providing full business flexibility and security in any environment including WI-FI and DHCP.

IPS
An IPS is a type of security management system that gathers and analyzes information from a network to identify possible security breaches, which include both intrusions - attacks from outside the organization and misuse - attacks from within the organization.
IPS detects and/or prevents malicious activity such as Denial of Service attacks, port-scans or even attempts to crack into computers by monitoring network traffic.
To detect such activity, IPS uses signatures. Whenever a matching traffic pattern to the signature is found, the IPS triggers an alarm and blocks the traffic from reaching its destination.
Standard IPS allows defining a global policy that can be applied to source-destination networks/hosts/ports combination. This global policy can be modified or tuned as per requirement but cannot be tailored per network or per host.
As global policy is a general policy for all, standard IPSs generate a high amount of false positives and this makes it difficult to pinpoint the host generating malicious traffic or vice versa.
Fine-tuning of the global policy means to disable a set of signatures for all the networks/hosts.
However, this may not be a fit-for-all policy and hence might reduce false positives for one network while increase for another. Chances are that sometimes it may not even detect certain obvious malicious activity.
PAGE 20 OF 28
Cyberoam IPS Implementation Guide
Cyberoam IPS
Cyberoam IPS is a real time Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) that protects your network from known and unknown attacks by worms and viruses, hackers and other Internet risks.
Cyberoam appliance at the perimeter of your network analyzes entire traffic and prevents attacks from reaching your network. Whether it is a worm, a suspicious web request, a hacker targeting your mail server or any other attack - it simply does not get through.
IPS consists of a signature engine with a predefined database of signatures and uses signatures to identify malicious activity on the network. Predefined signatures cannot be modified.
As per your network requirements, the Appliance allows you to define multiple policies instead of one global policy, to decrease packet latency and reduce false positives.
The IPS policy allows you to view predefined signatures and customize the intrusion prevention configuration at the category as well as individual signature level. Categories are signatures grouped together based on the application and protocol vulnerabilities.
The Appliance, instead of providing only a single policy (global) for managing multiple networks/hosts, allows you to define multiple policies per network/host. Defining multiple policies instead of a single global policy helps in decreasing packet latency and reducing false positives.
To enable Intrusion Detection and Prevention, apply IPS Policy from Firewall Rule. You can create rules to apply:
•
A single policy for all the users/networks
•
different policies for different users/networks or hosts
As Firewall Rules control all traffic passing through the Appliance and decide whether to allow or drop the connection, the IPS rule will be applied to only that traffic/packet which passes through the Firewall.
•
•
PAGE 21 OF 28
Cyberoam IPS Implementation Guide
Policy
The IPS consists of a signature engine with a predefined set of signatures. Signatures are the patterns that are known to be harmful. IPS compares the traffic with these signatures and responds at a high rate of speed if it finds a match. Signatures included within the Appliance cannot be modified.
Category
Signatures are organized in categories such as DNS, Finger, P2P, DDoS, and others. These signature categories are listed in the policy. You can configure these categories to change the prevention and/or detection settings. To perform Intrusion Prevention and Detection, you need to enable IPS services for each category. Hence, you will be able to configure attack threats for an individual signature only if an IPS service for the category is “Enabled”.
Each IPS Policy contains a set of signatures that the Appliance searches for, and logs, blocks and allows to:
•
Enable or disable a category from IPS protection.
•
Enable or disable an individual signature in a category to define the IPS protection based on your network environment.
•
Define an action to be taken when the matching traffic pattern is found. The Appliance can either detect or drop the connection. In either of the case, the Appliance generates the log and alerts the Network Administrator.
IPS provides six actions for managing attack threats: (action if signature matches)
•
Allow Packet – The Appliance allows the packet to its intended destination.
•
Disable – Disables the signature, if it detects any traffic that matches with it,
•
Drop Packet – The Appliance drops the packets, if detects any traffic that matches the signature.
•
Drop Session – The Appliance drops the entire session, if detects any traffic that matches the signature.
•
Reset – The Appliance resets entire session, if detects any traffic that matches the signature.
•
Bypass Session – The Appliance allows all the session packets, if detects any traffic that matches the signature.
In packet-based actions, the Appliance checks each packet before taking the action while for session-based action, only the first packet is checked and the action is taken. In case of Reset, the
TCP reset packet is sent to the originator. In all the cases, the Appliance generates a log and alerts the Network Administrator.
To save resources and avoid latency, set action a s “Bypass Session” as in this, if the initial packets match the signature then the rest of the session packets will not be scanned at all.
To avoid getting a high number of Alerts and to save resources, set action as “Drop session” as in this, if the Appliance identifies an attack in the initial packets then it will terminate the entire session instead of scanning all the session packets.

Policy
The IPS Policy page displays a list of all the pre-defined and custom IPS policies and you can sort the list based on policy name. The page provides options to add a new policy, configure the handling of signatures by category or on a signature-by-signature basis, or delete the policy.
Create and deploy IPS policies to block malicious or suspicious traffic and increase security and productivity.
The Appliance provides following pre-defined policies. You can directly use policies 1 to 6 without any modifications while policies 7 to 10 can either be used directly or can be modified as per your requirements:
