What’s this?

Dome9 – Secure Your Cloud™

1 day and 86,000 attempts later…

Dome9 – Secure Your Cloud™

There are more than 30 millionCloud, VPS & Dedicated Servers

Most of these servers are vulnerable to attack

– Admins leave ports open to connect to their servers– Hackers use these same open ports to gain access

Most of these servers’ security is unmanageable

– Sprawled across multiple private & public clouds– Operating systems are a virtual buffet

Most of the ‘available’ security doesn’t work– Service providers lack expertise & focus to build it– Security vendors have business models that don’t fit

and/or technology that doesn’t migrate and scale

Who’s responsible for security?

tell them

• Every Web App Will Use one– CloudFlare, Incapsula or Akamai – Bonus I – site is faster– Bonus II – DDOS mitigation capabilities

Part 3 - WAF

The Practitioners Guide

• You saw how many insights we get from the logs. You need to store and analyze them.

• We use several vendors for this – each for a different use-case:– Splunk & SplunkStorm– SumoLogic– Loggly – LogEntries

Part 4 – Log

Dome9 – Secure Your Cloud™

The Practitioners Guide

• Take Control on your security policies– You do much more when it comes to the office firewall

• Close All (admin) Ports – Open Dynamically– Open them only for whom, and for as long as is needed.

• Don’t rely on static scopes– Too much management overhead and risk.

• Aggregate & Centralize firewall management– Across regions, providers and applications

• At Dome9, we eat our own dog food– On Amazon, Verison’s Terrermark and Rackspace
