SecureSphere Web Application Security Version 13.0 (ENG)

Overview In this 4-day hands-on course, students will learn: • How to configure SecureSphere for an on premises Web Application Firewall including ThreatRadar subscription services. • How to evaluate the configuration of the Web Application Firewall to ensure it is monitoring protected assets you have identified. • How to implement detection and protection controls using Policies and Followed Actions • How to configure Web Profiling. • How to analyze Violations and Alerts. • How to perform best practice tuning tasks. • How to configure Active Blocking and error pages. • How to integrate external web scanner data with SecureSphere and manage identified vulnerabilities. • How and why to configure SecureSphere Web Gateway to work in a Reverse Proxy deployment mode. On the final day of class, students will perform a capstone exercise to reinforce their understanding and ability to apply the concepts learned during class.

Lesson 1: Lab Environment and SecureSphere Web UI • Review the SecureSphere Architecture • Become familiar with the presentation of the training materials. • Learn to use the Imperva training portal to find supplemental course materials. • Become familiar with the lab environment, topology, and user accounts. • Become familiar with the SecureSphere Web UI’s major components and navigating the Web UI. Lesson 2: Initial Web UI Configuration • Set password strength requirements. • Enable users to enter comments when making changes to security policies. • Create SecureSphere user accounts and roles. • Configure Active Directory authentication. • Update ADC content Lesson 3: Sites Tree Configuration • Create a Site. • Create a Server Group. • Create a Service and default Application. • Discover and secure previously unknown servers on the network. • Add discovered servers to a Site.
9:00 - 17:00
Lesson 4: HTTP Service Configuration • Configure Forwarded Connections (Load Balanced Traffic) • Install Protected Web Servers’ SSL Keys • Configure Data Masking • Configure Web Error Pages Lesson 5: HTTP Application Configuration • Create and Configure Web Applications as needed. • Direct HTTP client traffic to the appropriate Web Application. • Adjust initial learning thresholds so that SecureSphere more accurately profile web traffic. Lesson 6: Actions • Define, compare, and contrast Action Interfaces, Action Sets, and Followed Actions. • Explain placeholders, and where to find complete details regarding them. • Create Email, FTP, Syslog, etc., Action Interfaces as needed. • Create Email, FTP, Syslog, etc., Action Sets as needed. Lesson 7: Security Policies • Given different types of Web attacks, configure appropriate polices to defend Web applications. • Implement Followed Actions in Security Policies. • Configure and apply: o Signature policies to defend Web applications from attacks with easily recognizable signatures. o Protocol policies to defend Web applications from protocol attacks. o Correlation policies to protect against multi-front Web attacks. o Custom Web policies to protect specific application weaknesses. • Explain the factors that determine when to use modify a built-in policy, and when to create a copy of a built-in policy and modify it instead • Use Followed Actions to implement Action Sets on system administration jobs.
9:00 - 17:00
Lesson 8: Web Application Profiling • Describe the components of the Web Application Profile. • Explain how the Web Application Profile learns and protects web applications. • Define and explain how application activity is mapped to the profile application mapping. • Identify common web application components used in the learning process. • Define and explain how web application user tracking operates. • Explain how to select Web Profile Policy rules for the protected web application. Lesson 9: ThreatRadar • Identify and configure appropriate ThreatRadar feeds to help secure web applications. • Identify when to use and how to configure TR Reputation Services. • Identify when to use and how to configure ThreatRadar Bot Protection. • Identify when to use and how to configure Intelligence (Community Defense). Lesson 10: Alerts and Violations • Use the Monitoring Dashboard to view a summary of current Violations and Alerts. • Perform detailed analysis of Alerts and Violations to identify false positives, attacks, and tuning opportunities. • Use the “Add as Exception” and “add to profile” buttons to tune policies and profiles. • Manage the workflow of Security Monitoring by using SecureSphere’s Alert Flags. Lesson 11: Reporting • Describe the features of SecureSphere’s Report Settings. • Describe how to work with report Keywords. • Create reports of various types, including System Events, Configuration, and Alerts reports. • Schedule Reports and the Reports Archive job. • Create security-focused reports, such as Daily or Weekly Top 10 Alert reports
9:00 - 17:00
Lesson 12: Web Application Security Tuning • Use Reports to identify where to tune SecureSphere • Use the Profile Optimization Wizard to help tune Profiles. • Explain the impact and trade-offs of various Profile tuning options. • Examine multiple ways to tune Security Policies. Lesson 13: Active Blocking • Configure SecureSphere to enforce the tuned configuration. • Move SecureSphere from Simulation to Active Blocking mode. • Verify the non-default error page is working. • Identify and manage Followed Action Block events. • Configure additional Web Error Page Groups as needed. Lesson 14: Reverse Proxy • Select the appropriate reverse proxy mode based on deployment requirements for URL rewriting, cookie signing, SSL termination, and/or response rewriting. • Configure Reverse Proxy mode settings. • Configure and apply SSL Cipher Suites to inbound and outbound proxy rules. • Create and configure default and custom web error pages for use in security policies. • Configure URL rewrite and redirection rules. • Configure SecureSphere to work with SSL Client Certificates. Lesson 15: End of Class Capstone Exercise The Capstone Exercise challenges students to perform a series of tasks designed to help students reinforce learning by recalling and applying the concepts and skills presented during the class. Tasks include: • Configure a Site Hierarchy to protect a Web Application. • Mask sensitive data, such as credit card numbers, so they are not exposed. • Configure SecureSphere’s Web Application profiles and map web traffic to appropriate Web Applications. • Configure SecureSphere to properly support and inspect traffic that is load balanced or proxied before reaching the protected web servers. • Automate and archive regular SecureSphere system backups. • Configure SecureSphere to protect web servers against data leakage. • Configure SecureSphere to share information with external monitoring servers, such as a syslog server. • Perform Security Tuning to optimize SecureSphere’s configuration. • Create a variety of reports. • Find and protect unexpected / rogue servers on the networ
