Intrusion Detection and Prevention |
| |
|
Overview
|
| |
|
The OSU/A&M System's network and computer systems are critical to the support of business and academic functions. When a part of the System's technology fails, its business is immediately impacted. The purpose of Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP) is to protect the resources on the OSU/A&M System's networks without interrupting electronic service to students, staff, and faculty. An IDP solution will provide the OSU/A&M System with a means to secure intellectual property, prevent cyber attacks from originating from the networks, and prevent cyber attacks from entering the networks. This system will allow the University to know when an attack is taking place, and ensure that appropriate and effective actions are taken proactively.

Project Status
|
| |
|
As of August 4 we are currently at Phase 3 of the implementation - Threshold Caps. This follows the successful implementation of Phase 1 - Irrefutable Attacks, and Phase 2 - Spyware/Malware. Regular filter updates continue to be applied to keep the campus network protected from key zero-day vulnerabilities and attacks and known vulnerabilities and attacks covered under Phases 1 and 2.
|
| |
|
We successfully replaced the core and border IPS appliances to the latest hardware and upgraded the firmware/software on all remaining units.
|
| |
|
The remaining phases of implementation include:
|
| |
- Phase 4 - Legal Compliance P2P Blocking - TBD
- Phase 5 - Comprehensive Attack Blocking - TBD
- Phase 6 - P2P Rate Limiting - TBD
|
| |
|
The intrusion prevention system is scheduled to be completed by December 31, 2006.
