7 Firewall Zones Zones establish the security borders of the network. A zone defines a boundary where traffic is subjected to policy restrictions as it crosses to another region of the network. 7

10 Firewall Rules - Example Source Destination Port Action Log Comment / Allow Log Htttps access to cropweb. CR-FW Updated by Ramesh 10/Jan/2005 Any Allow None Allow SMTP relay access CR-FW Rule implemented by Madhu 23/03/2004 any@us-sales ,80,21 Auth-Encrypt Log Allow US Sales to access Sales Report Web/ftp CR-FW

11 Mandatory Firewall Rules Mandatory Rules Action Source Destination Port Protocol Controls Further options Comment Drop Any Firewall Any Any LOG Stealth Rule Drop Any Any Any Any LOG Cleanup Rule 11

12 Firewall Rule Base order (FW-1) User Authentication Rules VPN Access Rules Stealth Rule Zone ACL Rules Cleanup Rule 12

13 Principles Firewall Policies to be configured for minimum requirement. Need to Know Access to firewall devices is to be in strict accordance with the principle of least privilege. Access based on business requirements only 13

14 Change Management Documented and verifiable change management Change Request Form Detailed Conversation Map ( Source / Destination / Port / Protocol ) Purpose of the change Expiry Date Business Approval Exception Process Process to approve rules which violates Network Security Policy Coverage Rule creation / Modification / deletion NAT rule changes Routing changes Firewall Appliance configuration changes 14

15 Operating Procedures Backup Configuration and Policies Best practices recommended by the vendor should be followed ID Management Firewall Administrator ID VPN users Firewall Users Access Control Access to firewall device 15

16 Operating Procedures Monitoring & Logging Policy on Firewall Logging Compliance Requirements Retention Period Log Monitoring Roles and Responsibilities Review Firewall rule review process Audit Internal Audit Penetration Test 16

17 Best Practices Defined Firewall Zone ( Green, Red, Blue zone etc.,) Network Security Policy What is allowed? What is denied? Policy on dangerous protocols like remote desktop, Tunneling protocols etc., Change Management Process Explicit exception process Firewall Rule Review process No Single point of failure architecture NIDS integration Periodic Penetration testing 17

18 Recommended Approach Where to start? Understand the Firewall/ Security Zones Understand the protection objective What to verify? Firewall rules in compliance with the protection objective Excessive permissions Change control Firewall rule reviews VPN Users Remote Management Backup / Patch management 18

19 Audit Checklist 1. Develop background information about the firewall zones 2. Determine the objectives and protection requirements Security Policy 3. Is firewall rule base match the organization security policy? 4. Look for excessive permissions 5. Is firewall configured for minimum requirements? 6. Check the Change control process 7. Who all have access to firewall box? 8. Is there a Firewall rule review process? 9. Approval process for VPN / Remote access users 10. Is there a Remote Management of firewall? Is controls adequate? 11. Verify Backup / Patch management 12. Physical Security of the firewall device 13. What is the recovery strategy? Is there a test to confirm? 14. Log review and monitoring 15. Review latest Penetration testing report 19
