  • Security Around MySQL

    Posted by admin on April 16th, 2010 and filed under network security | No Comments »

    Danil Zburivsky (The Pythian Group) speaks at the 2010 O’Reilly MySQL User Conference & Expo on Security Around MySQL

    Slides – http://assets.en.oreilly.com/1/event/36/Security%20Around%20MySQL%20Presentation.odp

    From the official conference description at: http://en.oreilly.com/mysql2010/public/schedule/detail/13458

    In this talk well look at the different ways to compromise MySQL security in typical deployment scenarios through vulnerabilities in the underlying hardware, the operating system, applications, and the network. We will not be focusing just on security from hackers, but from internal sources as well who may be intending to steal data.
    Some of these methods include:

    * using memory dumps/straces to extract encryption keys/encrypted disk data
    * using DRAC/RSA cards to gain access to secure servers
    * gathering passwords at the switch layer.

    Well also discuss ways to prevent these attacks on the MySQL data including:

    * encryption both at the network and disk level
    * advanced access controls including AppArmor and SELINUX
    * network security

    Deploying Endpoint Security Beyond The ResNet

    Posted by admin on March 4th, 2010 and filed under network security | No Comments »

    A common starting point for securing campus networks is to deploy endpoint security and access control in the residence halls network (or ResNet) for securing student access. One of the benefits is making sure that students computers are up to date with operating system patches, anti-virus and anti-spyware protection before allowing network access. This is a great start toward securing access to your network, but where do you go from here?

    Chances are theres a similar need for securing other network areas, including academic and administration buildings, the student life center, the library, and even outdoors where wireless access is available. Threats to your network can come from anywhere on campus, not just from within the ResNet, so securing the rest of your campus network is critical as well and automating security is critical to simplify IT operations and allow you to reclaim valuable staff time.

    Bradfords Network Sentry family helps you automate endpoint security policies throughout your campus network by delivering visibility, endpoint compliance, remediation, control, and monitoring capabilities, along with a flexible platform that will allow you to deploy more advanced security and management functions when you are ready.
