Today's focus: Latest Astaro Security provides 'enhanced
integration' with eDirectory
By Dave Kearns
Last spring when Novell rolled out "Novell Security Manager
powered by Astaro (NSM)," I took the company to task because it
appeared that the security appliance was more comfortable with
Microsoft's Active Directory than with Novell's own eDirectory
(see link below).
After writing that newsletter I spoke to officials at Novell who
assured me that better integration with eDirectory would be
coming in the next release.
Astaro has now released the latest version of its Astaro
Security Linux Unified Threat Management software (the basis for
the Novell product), and - guess what - according to the press
release, it "provides enhanced integration with Novell
eDirectory for highly configurable and customizable identity
management and remote access security."
Yeah!
Now it's not going to be as easy as simply doing an upgrade to
your NSM with the Astaro software. Well, nothing is ever THAT
simple. But there will be an upgrade for NSM later this year
that will incorporate much of the new features in the Astaro
product.
<aside> Unfortunately, whenever a vendor bundles in products
from a partner, the vendor always seem to be one version behind
the partner's own releases. Generally, this "bundling in" should
only be a short-term solution while the vendor either works on
its own product or simply acquires the partner and its
technology.</aside>
For those of you using Astaro's Unified Threat Management
product, this upgrade should be already in your testbed with a
view to rolling it out real soon. In addition to the tighter
integration with eDirectory, the new release features:
* Linux Kernel 2.6 - Astaro Security Linux 6.0 utilizes the new
Linux Kernel 2.6, which also supports new hardware and devices,
giving you a wider choice of platforms.
* Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Proxy - This increases
flexibility, security and performance when supporting VoIP
communications.
* Anomaly-Based Intrusion Protection - Astaro's Intrusion
Protection application now includes a stronger barrier against
"zero-day-attacks" - the malicious threats that attack
enterprise networks before signatures have been developed. To
guard against these attacks, the product monitors the behavior
of "normal" traffic via statistical and heuristic analysis and
identifies anomalies that indicate a possible new attack.
* Transparent Firewall Mode - To allow seamless integration into
existing networks, Astaro Security Linux can now be installed in
transparent (bridge) mode, eliminating the need to reconfigure
IP space from currently assigned addresses.
* Time-Based Packet Filter and Surf Protection - Packet and URL
filters can now be configured for specified time periods, for
example to allow a specific group access to specific servers
only from Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
* Policy-Based Routing - In addition to normal routing, which is
based on the destination IP address, traffic can now be
forwarded based on source IP address, source and destination
port. With this feature, traffic can be spread over multiple
Internet uplinks to improve application performance and use of
bandwidth and to control costs.
For those of you without some form of perimeter security this
could be just the right tool for you. And it should run on top
of the SuSE kernel in Open Enterprise Server. This is a free
upgrade for those with Version 5 of the product (and a valid
maintenance agreement) and starts at approx. $300 (for 10 users)
if purchased new. Browse to
