Access secure network zones
– Provides an access mechanism
to a protected network
Highly-secured device
– Hardened and monitored
SSH / Tunnel / VPN to
the jump server
– RDP, SSH, or jump from there
A significant security concern
– Compromise to the
jump server is
a significant breach

- HSM
Hardware Security Module (HSM)
* High-end cryptographic hardware
– Plug-in card or separate hardware device
* Key backup
– Secured storage
* Cryptographic accelerators
– Offload that CPU overhead
from other devices
* Used in large environments Clusters, redundant power

Firewalls
43
Web application firewall (WAF)
-work at app layer
-sits in front of web serv. > receives all net. traffic headed to the serv.
> scrutinizes input headed to app/performing input validation b4 passing input to web serv.
-prevent mal. traffic from reaching web serv. + acts as part of layered defense against web app vulns.

ACL
Access control lists (ACLs)
– Allow or disallow traffic based on tuples
– Groupings of categories
– Source IP, Destination IP, port number, time of day,
application, etc.
