Hello everyone my name is vijay kumar Devireddy and i am glad to have you back on my episode 53 today we are discussing about Network Access Control Network Access Control or NAC is used to protect your network from both known and unknown devices.With NAC, a device is scanned to determine its current state of security prior to it being allowed access to your network.Now, NAC can be used for computers that are within your internal network that are physically located in your buildings and connected to it or it can be applied to devices that are connected into your network remotely through a VPN.When a device attempts to connect to the network,it's placed into a virtual holding area while it's being scanned.Now, the device here can be checked for a number of different factors,including its antivirus definitions to make sure they're up to date,the status of its security patching,and other items that might introduce security threats into the network if you allowed it to connect.Now, if a device passes this examination,it's allowed to enter and receive access to all of the organizational resources that are provided by your network.If the device fails the inspection, though,it's instead placed into a digital quarantine area.And it awaits remediation. While it's in this area, the device can receive its antivirus updates,it can get its operating system patches,and any other security configurations and services it needs. But it can't logically communicate with other portions of the network.That's why it's been placed in quarantine.Like a bad child, the device has been placed in time out until it can be rehabilitated and meet the requirements of the initial NAC examination.Once it successfully meets those requirements,it's then moved into the network and receives full access, again,to your organizational resources.Now, NAC's solutions can be run either using Persistent or Non-Persistent Agents.Persistent Agents are a piece of software that's installed on a device that's requesting access to the network.This works well in a corporate environment because the organization owns all the devices and controls their software baselines,but it doesn't work really well if you're using an environment where people bring their own devices.Instead, you might want to use a Non-Persistent Agent for this.A Non-Persistent Agent solution was developed and is very popular in college campuses where people bring their own devices in.These solutions require the users to connect to the network, usually over wifi,and then they go to a web-based portal for log in,and they have to click a link.When they click that link, the link then downloads an Agent onto their computer, scans the device for compliance,and deletes itself from the user machine once it's done.Network Access Control can be offered as a hardware or a software solution.One of the most commonly used Network Access Control mechanisms is called the IEEE Standard 802.1x and it's used in port-based Network Access Control.Now, most NAC is actually built on top of this 802.1x standard.We're going to discuss the 802.1x standard in more detail in a future lesson, though.
In this episode I get a chance to talk with Jonathan Jesse about Network Access Control. Jonathan is a Senior Systems Engineer with Forescout. Talking Points:What are the biggest challenges that you are seeing with NAC during the pandemic?What are your employees going to bring back in?What has been on your home network that is now coming into your company network?Has the asset been patched?Do you plan on putting home devices into a quarantine segment before it gets on?Do you do compliance checks while there on or before they get on?Do we limit it to just Office 365 while you are having your coffee and then when the posture check is complete they can have full access?Who's watching the Watcher?Is Network Access Control a compliance issue?Episode Sponsor:This episode is sponsored by Forescout. They are a security solution that specializes in network access control, network segmentation and asset inventory. They are based out of San Jose California.

Bienvenidos a Vulnerable. Soy Bernardo y este es el cuarto episodio del podcast. A los que me han acompañado las últimas 4 semanas, gracias. Aa los que apenas descubren este proyecto los invito a suscribirse y compartir. Ustedes son el principal vehículo para que un podcast crezca. A lo largo de esta serie me he referido a los atacantes o hackers como adversarios así que me es muy fácil que para el episodio de hoy voy a comentar 5 lecciones que plasmó Sun Tzu en su milenario libro “El Arte de la Guerra” y cómo aplicarlos en esta batalla que se libra día a día en el mundo digital del siglo XXI. Antes de comenzar debo hacer un reconocimiento que tal vez debería de avergonzarme un poco: ¡nunca he leído el libro completo “El Arte de la Guerra”! Pero me atrevo a hacer esta comparación sin sentir que soy el hipócrita más grande del mundo porque además de ver la serie completa que lo describe en youtube, link en la descripción, al menos he leído el resumen con las enseñanzas principales. Vamos de lleno con la primera lección. Sun Tzu escribío: Evita asediar ciudades amuralladas, porque esto generalmente lleva meses de preparativos, y muchos generales impacientes malgastan a sus hombres en ataques sin sentido. Recuerdo a mediados de la primera década de este siglo, por ahí del año 2005 para no ser tan dramático, la industria vivía un furor por NAC. Sin lugar a dudas “Network Access Control” iba a revolucionar la industria de la seguridad creando redes impenetrables. Por fin ¡victoria para los buenos! Y bueno, no fue tanto así pero más que analizar porqué NAC no cumplió nunca con sus expectativas (tal vez ese pueda ser un buen tema para otro episodio, voten en los comentarios) me gustaría contarles una experiencia que tuve. Debí haber sido el año 2007 cuando estuve por primera vez con un cliente para trabajar un proyecto de seguridad de contenido. Durante la implementación comenzamos a platicar y después de un par de días se sintió con la confianza de contarme que eran todas esas cajas amontonadas en el rincón de la oficina y que varias veces habíamos pasado junto a ellas. Eran los dispositivos NAC que habían adquirido hace dos años. La gran mayoría de ellos aún sin desempacar siquiera. Se subieron a la primera oportunidad a ese tren sin tener en cuenta la complejidad de implementación y mantenimiento. Los primeros despliegues fallaron y al poco tiempo la necesidad de continuar con los servicios del día a día, esos que ya habían madurado por años los obligó a dejarlos ahí, abandonados. No creo que hayan sido la única empresa que encontrara en la promesa del NAC una ciudad amurallada prácticamente imposible de conquistar. Pasemos a la segunda lección: Ganará quien sepa manejar tanto rivales superiores e inferiores. Para este ejemplo es muy fácil equipara a los rivales superiores con los hackers, los adversarios que llenan la prensa de titulares y que han puesto a más de una multinacional de rodillas. ¿Y quién es el rival inferior? Han notado múltiples memes y chistes que se comparten en grupos online de profesionales de la industria ¿cómo se refieren a los usuarios finales? Si, a ellos que usan su computadora para capturar los pedidos de venta, a los que usan el correo electrónico para fijar citas con proveedores, a los que su único interés sobre una red es que le permita conectarse a su ERP y así poder consultar los inventarios disponibles. ¿Los sobajamos mucho, no creen? Uno de los que más odio y que, tristemente, también veo muy a menudo es el ring de boxeo donde el anunciador pregona que en una esquina están todas las tecnologías básicas de seguridad que se puedan imaginar. Un listado como: firewall, IPS, IDS, Antivirus, etc. Mientras que en la otra esquina está el usuario final, ilustrado como un tipo francamente inútil. Con ese modelo mental simplemente no podemos ganar, si no entendemos que el usuario final de los servicios digitales en una organización no es el enemigo y que debemos incluirlo en los controles de seguridad con programas de concientización, capacitación etc estaremos luchando una batalla perdida. Momento de la tercera lección. Sun Tzu nos enseñó lo siguiente: Ganará aquel que se haya preparado y sea paciente para atacar a un enemigo no preparado. Esta lección me parece es mejor entendida por los adversarios quienes indudablemente tienen a su favor el factor del tiempo. Pero de este lado del campo de batalla es importante ser conscientes que en ningún momento podemos bajar la guardia, suspender las tareas de monitoreo, desaprovechar las auditorías, apegarnos a estándares y frameworks, evaluar e implementar nuevos controles. Lo que sea necesario para nunca ser el enemigo no preparado indefensos ante un nuevo ataque. Casi llegamos a la última lección, número 4: Si conoces a tu enemigo y te conoces a ti mismo, no debes temer el resultado de 100 batallas. Si te conoces a ti mismo pero no al enemigo, por cada victoria que obtengas sufrirás una derrota también. Si no te conoces a ti mismo ni a tu enemigo, sucumbirás en cada batalla. ¿Qué es conocerse a sí mismo en el ámbito de ciberseguridad? No creo que exista consenso en la respuesta pero me voy a atrever a poner sobre la mesa algunos aspectos importantes: Conocer a tu empresa. Conocer la información más valiosa para su éxito. Conocer, a detalle, la infraestructura digital en la que se procesa, transmite y almacena esa información. Conocer los riesgos específicos de tu organización e industria. Conocer tus recursos humanos y cerrar los gaps que tengan en su capacitación técnica para afrontar a los adversarios. Respecto a conocer a los adversarios todos deberíamos preguntarnos ¿cuáles son las tendencias, los ataques que más usan, cuales son las plataformas que comúnmente son objeto de su actividad, cómo explotan cualidades humanas para convertirlas en víctimas, cuál es su principal motivación, cuál es su objetivo? Como es costumbre dejé lo mejor para el último. La lección número 5 me parece que bien entendida y utilizada será la de mayor valía para cualquier organización. Las palabras de Sun Tzu: El general es la muralla protectora del estado. Si la muralla está completa, el estado será fuerte. Si la muralla es defectuosa el estado será débil. En esta analogía el general es la cabeza de la organización. No sólo el responsable de tecnología, CISO, CIO, como deseen llamarle. La dirección misma de la empresa, el CEO, director ejecutivo, director general, el mandamás debe ser la muralla protectora que apadrine las iniciativas de seguridad. Si él no entiende el valor que invertir en seguridad le brindará a su negocio seguiremos viendo ejemplos donde los proyectos sean detenidos con el tan usado argumento de “pero si ya tienes un firewall y un antivirus, para qué necesitas más”. Todos los responsables de la seguridad digital de un negocio deben entender que si no entienden el negocio que protegen jamás lograrán convencer al director de su barco y por lo tanto lo único a lo que les darán acceso es a materiales para construir murallas defectuosas.

In the traditional datacenter world, security was (or is) very network-centric. Firewalls, IDS, Network Access Control, focus on the aggregation of all traffic traversing in, out, and across the network. Cloud-native applications rely upon different constructs and methods of building applications. It's not just the software and technology stack that requires different security in the cloud-native era. We can't just surround cloud-native applications with security; we must build in security. And to do that requires you understand how container and microservices applications are made using DevOps. You must think about how DevOps works to build in security properly. Enter Lacework, a platform built for DevOps teams to build security into cloud-native applications. Vikram Kapoor, Lacework Co-Founder and CTO, joins DevOps Chat to explore API-centric applications and infrastructure-as-code. We discuss how to build security into cloud-native applications through the DevOps-based software creation process, and not only rely on runtime security technologies. Vikram also discusses some of the planned uses for the recent $42m round of funding.
On the Security Series this week we're joined by a guest from Pulse Secure. David Fearne and Richard Holmes sit down with Graham Duthie, a System Engineer at Pulse Secure. The team discuss Network Access Control with some really interesting examples of how their systems have helped businesses in the world of WiFi, where every device can be connected.
Network Access Control (NAC) attempts to combine end-station security with network security and authentication. It is used to control access to a network via policies and protocols. These include when the policies are applied whether before or after accessing the network as well as how information about the device accessing it is obtained.
