Integration Demo - Oracle Database Firewall with F5’s Application Security Manager

The dirty little secret of the Internet is how insecure DNS really is. The good news is, there's a solution -- DNSSEC. It secures the DNS query and response process.

The consequences of exposing hundreds of thousands of customer credit card numbers is unthinkable. Fines, lawsuits, damaged brand -- the effects can be catastrophic. Even if it was accidental, the effect would be the same.

When we hear about an Apache vulnerability, it gets our attention. In this case the issue was the way Apache handles HTTP RANGE headers, which are used to request individual sub-ranges of a given response, instead of the entire response. The problem is that responding to an HTTP RANGE request is computationally expensive. A simple iRule fixes this.

Security is a never ending battle. The bad guys advance, we counter, they cross over ... you're just never done.  To give our side an edge we do a lot of research.

The F5 Security Vignette series looks at various security concerns, vulnerabilities and attacks which can cause headaches for Corporate IT and the business integrity overall. This video covers SSL Certificates.

DDoS and other targeted attacks.

The premise of the SSL Renegotiation DOS attack is simple: "An SSL/TLS handshake requires at least 10 times more processing power on the server than on the client". If a client machine and server machine were equal in RSA processing power, the client could overwhelm the server by sending ten times as many SSL handshake requests as the server could service. The counter measure against the attacks was to write an iRule to limit renegotiation requests to 5 per minute per session.

A static data center with siloed point solutions is not capable of responding to multiple network challenges and natural disasters simultaneously. See how F5 creates a dynamic data center, giving you a single point of control to automatically adapt, provision, and secure applications to keep your business running.

Welcome to OOW2011 and find F5 Networks.

In this webinar you’ll learn how BIG-IP v11 gives you a comprehensive view of users, applications, and the network. This new approach to provisioning network services for your applications helps you better respond to changing business needs.

DNS is one of the key elements in the network that delivers content and applications to the user. However, DNS also manages a distributed and redundant architecture to ensure high availability and quality user response time. Due to the crucial role it plays in a network, DNS is also a high-value security target. Security attacks can flood DNS servers to the point of failure. To prevent this, a high-performing, secure DNS architecture and DNS offload capabilities must be integrated into the network.

Whether critical applications live in the cloud, in the data center, or in both, organizations need a strategic point of control for application security. F5 BIG-IP Application Security Manager (ASM) provides the security, intelligence, and performance that today's dynamic infrastructure demands.

In this webinar, you will learn how BIG-IP v11 enables you to design fast authentication and unified access control to deliver single sign-on for local, mobile, and remote access environments. We will also highlight key features of v11, including IPSec optimization, endpoint inspection, and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) enhancements.

Many factors can slow or prevent user access to enterprise applications and data. Database maintenance and data replication can affect performance. In addition, providing mobile users with fast, remote access while protecting the increasing amounts of data that travel over the web has become more complicated. Watch this webcast to learn how F5's Solutions for Oracle Database optimize the network for database operations, replication and security.

The way corporations operate around mobile devices is currently shifting—employees are starting to use their own devices for business purposes, rather than company-owned devices. With no direct control of the endpoints, IT departments have generally had to prohibit this or risk insecure access inside the firewall. But as more mobile devices appear on the corporate network, mobile device management has become a key IT initiative.

F5 Field Systems Engineer Patrick Chang explains an iRules solution that supports 2 active database instances in different data centers behind a web application. The goal is to provide the optimal user experience by load balancing requests for both the web/application tier and the database tier to a local data center whenever possible. Since cross-data center database replication takes approximately 20 seconds, one instance is preferred for database writes, and an iRule that reads and inserts time-stamped cookies reliably directs traffic to the closest database instance when possible, and to the remote instance only when necessary to maintain session integrity.
